Summerville wildlife control Tip of the Month:

What are the most common types of animals that eat your pet’s food?
A lot of wild animal species are opportunistic eaters as food can be a challenge to find and meals can be infrequent. That means they will have no qualms stealing and eating your pet’s food, an easy meal is the perfect meal and these animals are not fussy.

The most common animals that have been known to eat pet food are:
· Foxes
· Opossums
· Raccoons
· Rats
· Skunks

For these animals, food that has been left outside is like Christmas coming early. Whether it is in the trash can or the bowl you use to feed your pet, they will not be able to pass up such an easy meal.

Foxes and raccoons are natural predators, however, due to the fast decline of their habitat to make room for new housing and farmland there has also been a decline in prey. This has forced many species to become opportunistic when foraging, especially in urban areas. Unlike the other common species that may eat your pet’s food, foxes and raccoons can be more aggressive if confronted in the act. Do not go near these animals if you have caught them eating your pet’s food to avoid you or your pet being bitten or scratched.

Even though opossums, rats, and skunks are shy and less aggressive, they should still be given a wide berth. Particularly skunks, as they are famous for being able to spray a potent and foul-smelling liquid as a form of self-defense. It can be extremely hard to remove the foul smell from your skin, clothes, and pet’s fur.

All of these animals are nocturnal and will usually only visit your yard to eat your pet’s food during the night when you are asleep. If food is mysteriously disappearing during the night and you are confident that it is not your pet, then it is likely being eaten by one of these animals.

Why you need to discourage wild animals from eating your pet’s food
Animals that are coming into your yard or home to steal your pet’s food are more than just a nuisance, they can actually become a serious problem. Animals that have been eating your pet’s food may become aggressive if approached by you or your pet. This is because a lot of animals become territorial over food and foraging areas and will fight to defend them. Foxes, opossums, raccoons, rats, and skunks can carry disease, fleas, and even rabies which is why you do not want them in your yard or anywhere near you or your pets. These animals may even start to rely on you for food and hang around near your home more frequently and may even start living in your attic or in one of your neighbor’s. How to stop wild animals from eating your pet’s food Do not feed your pet outside. It is as simple as that. Feeding your pet’s outside will only attract an array of species that could become a nuisance or a danger to you and your pet. Or if you want to continue feeding your pets outside bring in their bowl as soon as they are finished eating. The same goes for storing your pet’s food outside, wild animals can easily chew through bags and boxes to consume the food. Raccoons and opossums are very determined creatures and will enter your home through your cat and dog flaps to eat your pet’s food. Both of these species are nocturnal and will forage at night, start locking your cat and dog flaps come dusk to prevent them from entering.
