Intentionally feeding wildlife in Pickerington that creates a nuisance or attracts rodents, raccoons, or deer is prohibited. Deer feeding is further restricted under Ohio Division of Wildlife rules during disease-management periods.
Pickerington nuisance and property maintenance codes allow the city to abate conditions that attract vermin, including open food sources and unsecured refuse. Bird feeders are generally allowed if they do not become rodent attractants. Ohio Division of Wildlife may impose deer-feeding bans when Chronic Wasting Disease is detected in the region. Feeding bears is regulated by state wildlife rules.
Nuisance citations begin with abatement notices. Unresolved violations carry fines up to 150 dollars; state wildlife violations carry separate penalties.
