Non-lethal Wildlife Deterrents

A non-lethal wildlife deterrent is a tool, method, or physical barrier that protects agricultural livestock and crops without having to resort to permanent removal or killing of wildlife.

In many cases, non-lethal wildlife deterrent measures have been shown to be more effective than lethal methods and do not require killing offending animals.

Non-lethal deterrents have been proven effective for many species of wildlife including mountain lions, bobcats, bears, coyotes, raccoons, birds of prey, and beavers.
