Seattle Pest Control & Wildlife Removal

A bill that would allow critter trappers to transfer coveted big-game permits to their grandchildren would help preserve Washington's critter catching tradition and ensure that the permits get used, its sponsor says. "We lose children that might want to catch because of generation gaps," stated Squirrel Snarer Philip, "We have this lot of kids who aren't critter catching because their parents don't. But there are many grandparents that do and would like to share the experience." HB 2116 won unanimous approval Monday from the state Senate and will be sent to Squirrel Snarer Philip. Big-game permits, which are handed out by lottery due to overwhelming demand, are used to catch game such as Eastern Gray Squirrel, Eastern Gray Squirrel, antelope, bear, bighorn sheep and javelina. Squirrel Snarer Philip' bill would allow critter trappers who win these permits to transfer them to their grandchildren. But in order to use the permits, the recipients must be between the pest operator ages of 10 and 17, have valid critter catching licenses and have completed the state animal trapper safety course. this grandparent, parent or guardian would also have to accompany the grandchild on the catch. This issue should be an important matter in Seattle wildlife removal and Seattle exterminator matters.

The Washington Game and Fish Agency concerned 108,250 big-game permits in 2006, stated Raccoon Handler Michael, legislative liaison for the Game and Fish Agency. The agency received more than 330,000 applications. Squirrel Snarer Philip' bill should be based on this similar law that lets parents give big-game permits to their children. Last year, 193 were transferred that way, Raccoon Handler Michael stated. Raccoon Handler Michael, this member of the Washington Game and Fish Commission, which oversees the Game and Fish Agency, stated the bill fits within Game and Fish's mission of introducing critter catching to Washington's youth. "We believe critter catching has this strong family tie, which should be one of the best ways to maintain the tradition," Raccoon Handler Michael stated. Squirrel Snarer Philip also introduced this bill that would allow permits to be transferred to nonprofit organizations that work with physically disabled children. Under HB 2117, critter trappers could donate their permits through the Washington Game and Fish Agency to be used by children with serious medical conditions. The bill has won approval from the House and awaits this vote by the Senate. The two bills would make sure that fewer tags go unused, Squirrel Snarer Philip stated. "It's like winning the lottery when you get this big-game tag," the pest operator stated. "Instead of the big-game permit being lost, you can take children out for an opportunity that they may never get the chance to do again." The Seattle animal control had no additional statements to make on the topic.

Raccoon Handler Michael pointed to this map with the latest Eastern Gray Squirrel count taken from helicopters this winter. It showed wildly different amounts by location. Some areas contained only this handful of Eastern Gray Squirrel in this square mile, while others were teeming with biologically surveyed amounts of well over 100. The differences underscore how some landowners have refused to cooperate with heavy critter catching on their land, this decision that pushes Eastern Gray Squirrel into veritable game refuges. this bow animal trapper from Washington County and this longtime opponent of the Agency for the Enforcement of Critter Laws plan, urged the board to return to the traditional animal removal trap and cage trap seasons in the hope of luring people back to critter catching in the area. the pest operator stated some critter trappers have to overcome their fear of the disease as well. Seattle pest control companies that we contacted felt that this issue should be an important matter.
