Description
As urban and suburban areas have grown, a new industry has developed to provide service in dealing with wildlife-caused problems. State agencies have been faced with pressure to provide effective oversight to the persons providing wildlife damage services, or Wildlife Control Operators (WCOs). The National Wildlife Control Operators Association (NWCOA) can offer discussion and assistance on drafting administrative rules and can offer industry insight on the effects of these rules. This manuscript provides sample wording for a general administrative rule that can be used by state wildlife agencies to provide oversight to the WCO industry.
