    I would appreciate any help since I am really terrified and feel very anxious about their presence. It looks like the mother had left them cuz I can see that two of the Cubs are already dead and the the other 4 look weak and hungry! I don't want to harm them but I just don't like seeing them in my garden. It stopped us from enjoying the good weather the last few days and I actually can't even take the bins out.any idea of how to get rid of them plz?
    Thx

    Are you in Dublin? Call the DSPCA or the equivalent where you are?

    My advice would be to have them removed at the earliest opportunity. Did you try Pest control?

    Christ you don't need to have them euthanized or anything of the sort. Contact the wildlife unit at the Kildare Animal Foundation and they will help you, wherever you are based.

    I did but they said they won't do it as long as they are still Cubs! They wanted me to wait for few weeks. I was surprised TBH

    The guy from the DSPCA came today and he said they are all gone. I haven't seen them for a couple of days but I wasn't sure they are gone. He said expect them to be back soon and asked not to block their way back in if they wish to! I told him "u must be joking" but he was like "leave them a bit of water but not food and they will be in and out until they decide themselves to leave" I said " YUP SURE" thanks
