Wildlife Damage Management
We provide specialized services across multiple sectors to address wildlife conflicts and support conservation goals; offering science-based solutions to minimize damage, protect resources, and enhance ecological outcomes through collaborative partnerships.
Wildlife Damage Consultation
Drawing upon extensive experience as a federal biologist across diverse urban, rural, island, industrial, and farm environments, this consultation service offers unparalleled expertise in addressing complex wildlife damage issues. Strategies can be developed for a wide range of species, including feral swine, white-tailed deer, waterfowl, wading birds, alligators, various non-native animals, and select furbearers and avian scavengers, tailored to each unique situation. This service provides comprehensive resourcing of damage management strategies from initial assessment to final implementation. Furthermore, when direct action cannot be performed by the consultant, seamless coordination with relevant agencies is provided to ensure effective and timely damage management outcomes. The approach integrates ecological understanding with practical, science-based solutions to mitigate human-wildlife conflicts and protect resources across diverse landscapes. Collaboration with stakeholders is central to developing and implementing sustainable strategies that address the specific challenges of each situation.
Nest Predator Mitigation
This targeted service focuses on enhancing the reproductive success of ground-nesting avian species by strategically reducing nest predation pressure. Utilizing proven trapping and removal techniques, our efforts aim to minimize nest destruction and increase poult survival rates. This focused approach directly supports the conservation of vulnerable ground-nesting birds by mitigating a limiting factor to their population growth.
Vulture Damage Management
We address the challenges posed by vulture populations, focusing on mitigating property damage, addressing aesthetic concerns, and reducing potential risks associated with their presence through non-lethal methods. We conduct thorough site evaluations to understand the specific issues and implement tailored strategies that involve dispersal techniques and habitat modification. A key component of our approach may include the strategic deployment of vulture effigies to discourage roosting and congregation in problematic areas. Our goal is to provide effective and sustainable solutions that minimize negative human-vulture interactions while adhering to all relevant wildlife regulations, without resorting to direct removal.
Beaver Damage Management
We directly address property damage and ecological alterations caused by beaver activity. The focus is on the complete trapping and removal of individual beaver populations and the thorough dismantling of their dams. Site assessments are conducted to understand the extent of the damage, followed by efficient trapping protocols. Dam removal is executed carefully, using appropriate techniques to restore natural water flow and minimize downstream impacts.
Non-native Bird Management
We focuses on the management and removal of problematic avian species, including rock pigeons, starlings, house sparrows, and, specifically within Florida, muscovy ducks and mallards. We address the ecological and structural damage, as well as public health concerns, associated with overpopulation of these birds. Our approach involves site-specific assessments to determine the extent of the infestation and implement effective removal strategies, adhering to all relevant regulations in each location.
Control methods are tailored to the target species and location, and may include trapping, exclusion techniques, and habitat modification. Our goal is to provide effective, long-term solutions to minimize the negative impacts of these avian populations on both natural and human environments.
