Relocating animals is usually strictly prohibited, even native animals within the state. It only spreads disease and other harm.


The best way to handle is capture and kill. It seems wrong at first, but like mentioned before you will end up killing off an entire ecosystem.

Lake Erie has been suffering for many decades, maybe even more than a century, becuase of the zebra mussel and goby infestation. Gobys are a kill on sight species, it is illegal to return them to the water if you catch one.
