Nuisance wildlife management is the term given to the process of selective removal of problem individuals or populations of specific species of wildlife. Other terms for the field include wildlife damage management, wildlife control, and animal damage control to name a few. Some species of wildlife may become habituated to man’s presence, causing property damage or risking transfer of disease to humans or pets (zoonosis). Many wildlife species coexist with humans very successfully, such as commensal rodents which have become more or less dependent on humans.

Wildlife traditionally refers to animals that have not been domesticated or tamed and live in their natural environment. Unfortunately, wildlife can gain entry into our homes, creating not only an emotional response but also a physical change to the structure. In the basic sense, wildlife can use our homes just as they would a hollow tree for shelter. They may then find additional resources such as food and a safe haven during the birthing season. Understanding wildlife is key to ensuring your home’s safety should entry occur.
