Section 3.  Animal Control and Nuisances.

_    Ducks are not to be fed. Ducks become a nuisance as they defecate on pool patios, driveways and cars. (For a good duck soup recipe, see our website).

 

_    Leaving food outside for animals other than household pets is not allowed. Opossums, raccoons, rodents (rats) and others non-desirable wild animals are attracted to this food.

 

_    Dogs that bark incessantly are not acceptable. Animal control will be called to quiet this nuisance.

 

.     The trapping of animals by rat traps or other devices should be done very carefully. These devices can trap squirrels, cats and ducks. Rat traps can be used in garages and inside patios.
