Wild monkeys can pose challenges when they intrude into residential areas in search of food. Understanding preventive measures is crucial to dissuade monkeys from entering your neighborhood or home. If monkeys are a frequent issue, there are steps you can take to make it more difficult for them. Start by ensuring there is no readily available food that might attract monkeys, and communicate with your neighbors about their responsibilities.
