There's no business that provides free pest control in Annapolis that will remove wild animals that I know of, like free bat control or free rat removal.

Annapolis wildlife issues:
The acetylene lamp has been replaced by the electric spotlight. The tree platform has been replaced by the cushioned seat of a car and the old .45-90 is only a relic beside the steel box traps of today. Only the poor bewildered nuisance wildlife is the same as it stands in the light, waiting to be butchered. The use of Annapolis dogs as an aid to nuisance wildlife removing unwanted wildlife, while permitted in some areas, is forbidden in most states. Here in Maine, the use of dogs has been outlawed for a long time and as a result I have had little experience with this type of removing unwanted wildlife. We have a few poachers who have nuisance wildlife dogs and who use them occasionally, but as the penalty is usually death to the dog and a fine to the owner, no man who values a dog will use him for this purpose.I have watched a few of these dogs in action and I can see where there would be a certain amount of sport in this type of removing unwanted wildlife, if it were legal and if the dogs were properly trained. Slow-neighborhooding dogs that do not drive the pest critter out of the country would seem to be the best nuisance wildlife dogs. The pest critter circle ahead of them, the sport would be like fox removing unwanted wildlife. Most everyone will admit that fox removing unwanted wildlife is considered a good sport. I knew of one poacher who owned two dogs that he had trained to trap nuisance wildlife. They were very fast dogs and they were trained to drive nuisance Annapolis wildlife to the man's house where he waited to capture them. This man's boys would take the dogs by a circular route to a point some distance from the house. If there was a conflict animal between the dogs and the man's house, that nuisance wildlife had very limited chance of turning back past the suburban neighborhood it usually ended up hanging in the man's shed. He didn't consider this as important, only an easy way to obtain meat for his family to take his in during the pest critter time of year. An acquaintance had a conflict animal dog that was nuisance wildlife proof.
So much to that the owner offered a suspicious warden one hundred dollars if he (the warden) could persuade the dog to chase a conflict animal. The warden was satisfied, and the dog's owner was perfectly safe in making the offer, but that dog was about the best aid that a poacher could wish. Healthy nuisance wildlife were perfectly safe from him. I saw a conflict Annapolis animal run within a hundred feet of the dog and he never even looked at the pest critter. It was different when his master used his humane cage trap. The raccoon would be off at the sound of the effort to remove a pest animal aid, if the pest critter had been wounded and not humanely trap and relocateed, he would chase, catch, and hold the animal until the man could approach and make the humanely trap and relocate.
