This is the home page for techniques and methods for controlling wildlife damage that should be left unused.

Everyone loves home-remedies. But when it comes to wildlife damage control, many home-remedies can be not only ineffective, they can be downright dangerous.

Why various techniques should not be used:

1. Technique does not work.

2. Technique is dangerous to the user.

3. Technique is dangerous to the environment.

4. Technique is dangerous to non-targets.

5. Technique is most likely illegal.

6. Technique is unnecessarily cruel.

HELP US!
We would like to expand our list of techniques that people should not use. Send your suggestions/photos to svantassel2@unl.edu

We hope, however, that you will find this information helpful in making more informed and responsible wildlife damage management decisions.

Modern combustion engines burn too cleanly for this to be an effective technique as it takes too long for sufficient quantities of Carbon-monoxide to enter the burrow.

Piping any gas into a burrow system, particularly long ones like mole and pocket gopher, is extraordinarily difficult. It can be likened to trying to push air through a 50 foot long straw. The animals can also outrun them.

Technique also poses a risk to the user as he/she will be likely breathing the polluted exhaust.
