Relocating the Maryland animal is often treated as inhumane. This is since the animal that is being relocated will have a lower chance of survival. You are forcibly introducing them to an unfamiliar place. They will find it hard to look for a food and water source. They also need to constantly protect themselves from the threat of the predator. The wild environment will expose them to health risks.



Where Should You Relocate a Trapped Annapolis Rodent
Once you captured the Annapolis rodent, you have the option to euthanize or release them. The goal of capturing the animal is not to exterminate them but to exclude them from our property. By preventing them from returning to your property, you will be finding a way to co-exist with them.

Capturing the Rodent
If you have been facing a full-blown infestation, it is important to capture as many as you can before releasing them. When capturing them, you need to be aware on the various health risks related with the rodent infestation. They can also contaminate your food and water source. After capturing them, you need to know how they are getting inside the house. By sealing their access point, you will be able to prevent them from returning to your house. Seal the holes with galvanized metal that will be highly resistant against the persistent chewing of the rodents.

Releasing Them
The best place to release them is outside of your house. In some areas, you will not be allowed to release them away from the place where you captured them since this can lead to different problems. For instance, you can introduce new diseases, or they can cause new infestation in a place where you release them. Releasing them within their territory will greatly increase their chance of survival. They are well-aware about the terrain and they know where to hide. They also know where to hunt for food.

Additional Tips When Releasing the Rodent
You need to consider the type of trap that you are using. It should allow you to open the door effortlessly to ensure that you can easily release them. It should have enough room that will facilitate the release of the rodent. The rats are nocturnal creatures. If possible, release them at night when they are mostly active. It should also be when the weather is good. They are warm-blooded creatures. Therefore, the temperature should never be below 4-degreees.

Be sure that the place where you will release them will offer them plenty of option to hide themselves. The primary reason why most rodents will not survive when you release them is due to the cold weather. Before you relocate the creature, try to move the cage trap close to the outdoor. This will enable the rodent to become accustomed to its new environment. Be sure that there are also enough shades in the place where you will release them to protect them from the unforgiving heat of the sun. By following these tips, you will be able to increase their chance of survival.
