Urban Nuisance Wildlife Control In Kentucky, Thomas G. Barnes
Urban Nuisance Wildlife Control In Kentucky, Thomas G. Barnes
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
A variety of factors including increased urbanization, decreased funding for governmental animal damage programs, and increases in some urban wildlife populations have resulted in a greater demand for urban nuisance wildlife control. Historically, this demand was met by Cooperative Extension Service (San Julian 1987), state fish and wildlife agency, or USDA-APHIS-ADC employees (Bollengier 1987). These agencies provided educational materials, consultations, and/or physically removed animals. Recently, there is an increased demand for physical animal removal evidenced by increasing numbers of private pest control operators (PCO) specializing as urban nuisance wildlife control operators (NWCO).

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), because of its responsibility for registering pesticides for use in the U.S., is subject to the restrictions of federal Endangered Species Law. Before a pesticide can be registered, and subsequently marketed, EPA must guarantee that specific pesticides will not place an endangered species in peril. The Division of Plant Health of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture has received a grant from EPA to enforce the protection of listed species from pesticide exposure in Kansas.

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
In most cases the impetus for wildlife damage control (ADC) comes from the individual or group victimized by the problem, i.e., the farmers losing crops to migrating waterfowl or the homeowners frustrated with the loss of valuable ornamental plants to marauding deer. These "victims" or "stakeholders" are clearly best positioned to describe the nature and extent of the problem, how they feel about it, and to comment on what action could/should be taken to reduce or end the problem.
