Pests/Expert Profile

Expertise

I was a professional animal damage controller. If you are having problems with squirrels, raccoons, beavers, moles, voles, etc. damaging your property, I can help give you information to resolve that damage. I was an assistant editor for Wildlife Control Technology magazine and have published numerous articles as well as two books in this field.

Experience in the area

former Assistant Editor of Wildlife Control Technology magazine, the nation's only exclusive professional magazine for animal damage controllers. I have published two books, the Wildlife Removal Handbook and the Wildlife Damage Inspection Handbook.

What do you like about this subject?

Animal damage control is a growing industry. In a time where the public is increasingly coming under the sway of the animal rights ideology, it is great to see that people who know how to trap are still needed. Trapping is a great American tradition and is poison free.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I hope to expand my knowledge about animal damage control into learning even more non-lethal and less-lethal techniques.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Perhaps the most interesting thing that people don't know is that many wildlife species have adapted to urbanization. Thus we actually have more of some animals today then we had when Columbus came to the New World. Too often people think that we have taken away all the animal's homes, when in fact our activities have actually helped some species find homes.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

I want the world to know how much animal rights activist ideology is dangerous to the environment, endangered species and human rights. Too often the media fails to hold these groups accountable for the misinformation they are so famous for.
