June 30, 2021 - Mission Hills Trapping Ordinance
In 2020, a concerned resident asked the City Council to consider banning the use of conibear traps. The Council directed the Crime Prevention and Safety Committee (CPSC) to look into this request. After several meetings to review research and hear testimony on this issue, the CPSC decided to recommend that the City Council consider adopting an ordinance that would discourage the use of conibear traps, but retain them as an option when still needed as a solution of last resort. In March 2021, the Council adopted the new ordinance. Should you have a pest on your property that requires trapping, we recommend hiring a professional company to assist you. A permit is required for those instances requiring use of this discouraged trapping mechanism. City Hall staff would be happy to answer any questions you may have. If you'd like more information on this topic, please click the following link : ORDINANCE NO. 1578 | 8-116. Trapping.
