What type of wildlife control device launches an explosive cartridge?

The type of wildlife control device that launches an explosive cartridge is indeed a banger. Bangers are often used to create noise that can deter animals from specific areas or to signal other wildlife control operators. They function by using a small explosive charge that releases a loud sound when activated, which can scare wildlife away without harming them.

Traps are designed to catch animals physically, while dart guns are used to administer tranquilizers or medications to wildlife. Net guns are employed to capture animals by ensnaring them in a net, making them a non-lethal alternative for wildlife management. Each of these alternatives operates differently and does not utilize an explosive cartridge to function.
