Amherstburg's rules on pests and wildlife
Amherstburg spreads its pest rules across several by-laws (yard maintenance, property standards, animal control and waste) and provides animal control through the Windsor Essex Humane Society. The notes below link to the Town's own pages.
Keeping a property pest-free
Amherstburg's Yard Maintenance By-law requires every owner or occupant to keep their property free from rodents, vermin and other pests, and from conditions that may attract them. In a multiple dwelling, a building with at least three units, the property standards by-law puts the same duty on the owner, and on each occupant for the part they control.

The Town asks tenants to tell the landlord, superintendent or property owner about a problem first. Writing is preferred, but a phone call is acceptable. Keep copies and allow a reasonable time for repairs. If it isn't fixed, by-law complaints must be made in writing, through the Town's online portal or a complaint form at Town Hall.

The Town's animal control is provided through the Windsor Essex Humane Society and is mainly for dogs. The Town says the Humane Society will also assist with injured or sick stray cats or other wildlife. For a raccoon or skunk on your property, we offer humane, non-lethal removal.

The waste by-law bars setting out garbage in a way that attracts rodents, insects or animals, and says food waste must be drained and securely wrapped, in covered containers. Buildings with six or more units must provide hard-sided, animal-proof garbage containers. The Animal Control By-law separately bans feeding wild animals or leaving attractants where they can reach them.
