  • Firewood, building materials, etc. must be stacked at least 18 inches above the ground to avoid providing nesting areas for rodents.

  • The use of indoor upholstered furniture on porches, decks or patios provides nesting places for rodents and other outdoor creatures.

  • Placing your bags of household garbage and trash in plastic containers will prevent crows and dogs from tearing into the bags and spreading refuse on the street.

  • Untagged or disabled automobiles are prohibited on private property or the public street.
