WE BELIEVE

Urban Wildlife Management believes in the majesty and sanctity of life in its many forms and we
acknowledge our responsibility to preserve this life and its supportive environment in all ways possible.  That being said however, we also assert our chosen responsibility to attend to the health, safety and well-being of people and to the protection of their property from actual and potential damage caused by wild animals.

Conflicts between people and wild animals can be manifested in many ways. Some are simply annoying while others may be life-threatening. Urban Wildlife Management seeks to mitigate these conflicts in the most benign but effective methods available. Where conflict and damage can be anticipated, people can be educated and animals can be excluded to avoid possible conflicts. Where unavoidable or unforseen conflicts arise, swift intervention and remediation may be necessary to mitigate personal injury or property damage.

We believe that people have the right to feel safe and secure in their homes and in their communities and that they have the right to protect and defend their property against any  perceived threat from wild animals violating these personal and property rights.

We believe in the preservation of animal welfare, protection of habitat, enforcement of animal cruelty laws and the peaceful co-existance with wildlife, but we do not believe wild animals have the right to threaten a person's safety, damage a person's house or other property, or to move in and become uninvited guests in ones' homes. We support the establishment of wildlife sanctuaries and we recognize the inviolability of people and their homes.

We believe that our customers have the right to expect the best possible service we can provide.
Services rendered should be efficient, effective and affordable. Products sold should be effective and reliable. Treatment of animals should be humane and professional.
