Knowledgeable

Wildlife control officers are trained, certified, and licensed individuals. They have been given the core information needed to resolve wildlife conflicts. Our officers use best practices and routines to maintain goals of safe and effective animal control. Present-day professional wildlife control operators have developed from many disciplines. A strict application of precisely defined certification criteria is detrimental to the continued development of the profession these operators have built. Chase Wildlife Control Operators are leaders in the wildlife control community and rated one of the best by communities in Colorado. The operators have demonstrated a wealth of both “hands-on” field experience and exposure to a variety of industry-related training programs. Continuing further education and staying up to date on specific tasks needed to remove wildlife from unsafe areas is encouraged and made easily available for our wildlife control officers.

Wildlife Disease knowledge

Taking proper precautions to prevent exposure is all part of a wildlife control officer’s awareness of the diseases animals carry and how they infect humans. Exposure to Zoonotic diseases is a real risk. What are Zoonotic diseases? They are diseases spread between animals and people. Zoonotic disease agents can be bacteria, viruses, protozoa (single-celled organisms), rickettsia (an entity that combines aspects of both bacteria and viruses), Fungi, nematodes (multi-celled worms), and prions (modified proteins). Did you know that scientists estimate more than 6 out of every 10 known infectious diseases in people are spread from animals. Wildlife control is the art of wildlife damage management. Our wildlife control officer’s main concern is the physical safety and wellness are our customers. Carcasses, Histoplasmosis, Baylisascaris Procyonis, Rabies, and Hantavirus are all serious health concerns. Please note that this list is not intended to be complete.

Occupational requirements

The list of occupational requirements for Wildlife Control Officers is extensive due to the nature of the position.

  • Physically demanding: Success in this field requires walking, climbing ladders, scaling roofs, crawling under buildings and into attics. Animals can weigh anywhere from 2 pounds for a gray squirrel to 20 pounds with a raccoon to 50 pounds for a beaver. The weight doesn’t appear to be that high, but wildlife control officers need to carry the trap away from your body which causes the weight to feel heavier due to reduced leverage. Carrying caged animals off roofs adds to the danger as the animal will run back and forth in the cage thereby shifting the weight of the cage. Failure to prepare for the change can cause a catastrophic fall off the ladder.
  • Dangerous: Wildlife control officers are exposed to dangers from animals, heights and crawl spaces.
  • Methodical: Officers need to perform similar tasks with consistent accuracy and thoroughness.
  • Responsible: Control officers will need to remember where traps have been set. In some cases, dozens of traps located around a city will need to be remembered and checked daily no matter what the weather.
  • Customer Relations: Wildlife control officers are required to have high customer service skills including phone education and a friendly demeanor.
  • Adaptable: Officers must be able to be inventive and have a make-do attitude when confronted with non-typical wildlife control situations. Being prepared with the right tools at hand is important.
  • Handle Inclement Weather: Wildlife control work is done year-round. Workers must be as comfortable working in a hot attic as they are outdoors on a ladder during freezing temperatures.
