What should I do if I encounter baboons in my house?

If a baboon enters your home, stay calm and do not panic. It is looking for food, and does not want to get into a confrontation with you. If you have dogs, secure them away from the area the baboon is in.  

Ensure there is at least one clear exit route. Keep your distance until the baboon has filled its cheek pouches and tucked what it can under its arms, then firmly encourage it to leave through the exit point.  

Do not scream, get too close or make sudden movements or you will just panic the baboon and cause it to defecate or urinate.

If baboons are  in your house and you become nervous, call someone to assist.
