Nuisance Wildlife

infoHelp shape the future of Missouri communities

MU Extension is gathering input to better understand what matters most to Missourians — from health and jobs to education and more.

Please take 10 minutes to complete a short survey that asks a few questions about yourself and what matters most in your community. Responses will be anonymous. The data collected will directly inform MU Extension’s future programming and priorities.

The presence of wildlife around your home or on your property typically is beneficial. But wildlife may at times conflict with your goals and objectives. Potential problems include:

  • Costly wildlife damage to crops, gardens or livestock
  • Damage to buildings and other structures
  • Hazards to human health

Landowners and homeowners need to be both tolerant of some damage caused by nuisance wildlife and proactive in preventing problems. Learn more on this site about scientifically valid ways to prevent damage and control nuisance wildlife.
