Wildlife in Lacombe County
Lacombe County is home to a diverse range of wildlife species. While there are many benefits to living near wild animals, it is important to know how to co-exist with wildlife to minimize conflict and ensure the safety of residents, pets, livestock, and wildlife alike.
Often the best way to prevent problems with wildlife pests is for residents to make small changes to their property and actions. For example, removing sources of food, water, and shelter will encourage animals to go elsewhere.
Avoid attracting wildlife by:
- Ensuring the property is properly fenced.
- Removing food sources by securing garbage, feed and pet food (including bird feeders) inside the home or in a sealed container.
- Eliminating locations for homes and hideouts by keeping your yard clean of debris at all times and, by regularly maintaining and inspecting the property and its structures.
If you are experiencing problems with wildlife, please contact Alberta Fish and Wildlife at 403-755-6150.
