Wildlife Damage

Whether you are a homeowner with a wildlife damage problem or a Master Gardener hoping to provide advice to someone else, we have lots of information on this website to help you out.  Under “nuisance and damage” you’ll find fact sheets that explain why problems occur and how you can minimize damage.  If you decide you need professional assistance, there is a list of individuals and companies licensed by the Pennsylvania Game Commission to handle wildlife nuisance and damage problems.  There are also a number of webinars (seminars on the web) that address everything from selecting plants that are “non-preferred” by wildlife thus minimizing damage upfront to identifying who the culprit is when damage does occur. There are also links to other agencies and sites with information and assistance.  In the Frequently Asked Questions section you may find that others have had similar problems.  Finally, there’s a “contact us” section where you can let us know what worked and what didn’t.
