You may download a copy of the Township’s Building Permit Application below. Please look for companies that perform these services either on-line or in your local yellow pages. There are many companies out there that provide complete animal removal services, as well as prevention and exclusion services, such as repairing entry damage, installing chimney caps, and screening attic and exhaust vents. You may use one of the many companies who specialize in the removal of nuisance wildlife, such as: SQUIRRELS, BATS, BIRDS, RACCOONS, PIGEONS, SKUNKS, GROUND HOGS, and OPOSSUMS. Or, you may purchase one directly on the internet at Havahart can be contacted directly at 1-80. The Township uses Havahart Box Trap Model #1079, which can be purchased from Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Ace Hardware, True Value/ServiStar Hardware, Lowe’s, etc. If you have an ongoing pest problem, you may want to consider purchasing a box trap of your own. Furthermore, the Township reserves the right to deny use of the trap during inclement weather. **NOTE** During the Winter months, NO traps will be given out from November 1st through March 31st. Traps are not available to non-residents of Indiana Township.

If Hoffman Kennels picks up a trapped animal at your home more than once in a calendar year, you will be charged $65.00 for each subsequent pickup (the first pickup is free). They may be kept for one week at a time and are available on a first come, first served basis. If you are unsuccessful in trapping the animal, the traps should be returned, clean and empty, to the Township Building. If an animal is caught, you must notify Hoffman Kennels, the Township Animal Control Agency, who will then pick up the trap and animal and return the trap to the Township office. Box Traps are available through the Township, and must be signed out.
