Animal Damage Control

Animal Damage Control (ADC) is a government and private program focused on managing wildlife that causes damage to agriculture, property, or human health. It involves implementing humane methods to reduce nuisances posed by animals like raccoons, beavers, or deer. This helps protect crops, prevent property loss, and reduce disease risks. ADC uses strategies such as habitat modification, exclusion techniques, and, when necessary, controlled removal. The goal is to balance wildlife conservation with human interests, ensuring that animal populations are managed responsibly and ethically to minimize negative impacts while considering ecosystem health.
