The role of Wildlife Services is to provide assistance in the management of wildlife damage in an effort to protect human health and safety, agriculture, property and endangered species. This is accomplished by providing technical recommendations and/or direct control to resolve, curtail or prevent damage to residents, domestic animals, property and other resources.
San Diego County, along with 33 other counties in the state, contracts for animal damage control services. This program is carried out with the financial and administrative cooperation of:
The County of San Diego
The Department of Health Services
The United States Department of Agriculture
For control of wild animals causing residential disturbance (not agricultural related damage) there is a minimum fee of $100.00.
Please call 1-800-486-0010 and leave message. A Wildlife Services Agent will contact you in order of calls received. Please be aware that agents are often out in the field and may not be able to respond to messages right away.
