How can I get rid of fisher cats on my property?

Answer by  sawilson (32)

Because of the declining numbers in Fisher Cats, due to their habitats being torn down, it is suggested that you trap the animal and then relocate them to a dense forrest area. They enjoy areas where they can hide, but are often being forced into suburban life. You can use a basic metal wildlife trap baited with a meat product.

Fisher cats, or fishers, are a protected species in most states. They are carnivores and could be trapped in a humane trap baited with chicken pieces, even rotting meat, and then released in a wooded area. Your state's Game and Fisheries department can give you specific information about this.

Commercial odor repellents can help deter fishers. Poison is ineffective and may affect other animals. Note also that fisher cats are protected in some areas, so it's not always okay to shoot or trap them. Find out about the local laws. You can also contact your control officer, who may be able to remove the fisher for you.
