How often must devices for nuisance wildlife control be checked?

The devices used for nuisance wildlife control are required to be checked once per calendar day to ensure both effectiveness and compliance with regulations. This frequency is essential for a few reasons.

First, frequent checks help in promptly addressing any captures, which not only aids in humane treatment of the animals but also minimizes the risk of injury or stress to the wildlife. It ensures that trapped animals are handled swiftly, reducing their time in a confined space which is crucial for their well-being.

Second, daily inspections allow for timely maintenance or repositioning of devices. If a device is not functioning correctly or is no longer effective in its placement, checking it daily helps in quickly identifying and rectifying the issue.

Additionally, the daily checking requirement aligns with ethical practices in wildlife control, emphasizing the importance of responsibility and care in managing wildlife populations. This ensures that operators are actively managing the devices they employ and adhering to best practices in humane wildlife control.
