It is always best to check with your local Temecula animal control authority just to make sure what you are allowed to legally do to the rodent in question, some rodents like mice is open season on them all year round but others like beavers you are probably not going to be allowed to go near the animal legally. A lot of places if you have a problem with an animal you can get a permit to trap it and relocated it but today there is a mood that says relocating is inhumane and the new trend is to catch the animal in a cage trap and frighten the crap out of it hoping that when you release it close to your property it will not return.



In almost all of the United States is illegal to use poisons to remove pest California animals from your property, the US government licenses all poisons for use and generally has not label any for use by homeowners against wild animals, this is mainly because almost half of poison baits left for wild animals have instead killed a protected species or one of the neighbors pets, neither result would make you popular with either your neighbors or the authorities.

Another thing you should be aware of is that if you are checking up to get information on what you should or should not do, then call a government agency, do not call organizations like PETA because you'll only get the information they think you should have whereas someone like the National Parks and Wildlife Service will give you all information you must have to stay within the law, they will also give you contact information for your local government authorities.

In general it is legal to trap most ground dwelling Temecula rodents without much fear of being prosecuted, but even getting or checking if you need a permit is always smart, once you trap the animal then comes your dilemma, you can always try and hand the animal over to a wildlife rehabilitator because nearly every animal that is trapped in a cage trap will have some injuries, the animals injure themselves trying to escape. The usual injuries are only superficial, some cuts and bruises, but if you've trapped a female with babies her attempts to escape can be so violent it is not unusual for females to have broken bones, especially in their forearms and hands.
