starling control

Starling control involves managing large populations of European starlings to reduce their negative impacts, such as crop damage and environmental disruption. This is achieved through methods like habitat modification, exclusion techniques, and sometimes humane deterrents that prevent them from roosting or foraging in certain areas. The goal is to limit their access to food sources and roosting sites to naturally reduce their numbers over time. Effective control requires careful planning to balance ecological health and agricultural interests, often involving collaboration between wildlife managers and landowners to implement humane and sustainable strategies.
