The manual describes a broad array of tools, techniques, and resources backed by an easily understood decision-making model. The basic biology and natural history of the species most likely to cause nuisance problems, with specific management recommendations for each species is included. The safety, ethical, and legal issues related to wildlife control activities is also included. It can be used to train a broad range of people from those with little familiarity of the subject to experienced operators who have used other approaches to their work.
