PUBLIC SAFETY

Wildlife Control Management LLC (WCM),  is dedicated and conscientious to mitigating and minimizing the impact wildlife can have on public safety, our pets, crops, property, livestock and especially our valuable and sensitive watersheds. Feral pigs, especially, bring up a wide variety of diseases, such as e-coli, brucellosis and pseudorabies virus, etc. They are known carriers of at least 45 different parasites, both external and internal that pose a threat. Feral pigs are not indigenous to the United States; it is an invasive species and often damages other sensitive native wildlife. It is estimated, that feral pigs do 1.5 billion dollars in damages each year.

WCM will inspect for sick and diseased wildlife. Any wildlife suspected of a disease or pathogens will be immediately removed, refrigerated and taken directly to a California Department of Fish & Game (DFG), inspection facility. There, the diseased wildlife will be examined and inspected by a California DFG biologist. WCM will report back to the client and all public safety authorities, if need be. I will be working directly under the direction of California Department of Fish & Game (DFG). In addition, I will be reporting to neighboring ranches, watershed departments, Department of Public Health (DPH) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

APPROACH TO TRAPPING

WCM, will be using the most advanced technology, wireless traps and nighttime thermal operations. Regarding feral pigs, our goal is 90-100% of each sounders at one time and in one large operation. The remaining pigs will be captured using the most sophisticated techniques.  Our goal is ALWAYS 100% capture rate and the client satisfaction.  We will be using the latest technology from Texas A&M, the University of Nebraska and Mississippi State University. Studies have shown that small portable traps are ineffective and tend to capture small numbers, typically, young adults and juveniles. The remaining pigs become educated and will forever be trap-shy.

THIS APPROACH WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
