Habitat Modification & Exclusion
Strategies focused on altering the landscape or physically preventing wildlife access to crops and infrastructure. Focuses on long-term preventative measures.
Distance from Crop Boundary for Buffer Zone (feet)
Describe existing habitat features attracting wildlife (e.g., water sources, brush piles)
Type of Fencing Installed (if any)
If 'Other' fencing, please specify type and height:
Habitat Modification Actions Taken:
Height of Exclusion Fence (feet)
Describe any structural modifications to prevent wildlife entry (e.g., covering vents, sealing gaps)
Type of Exclusion Structures Used (if any)
Repellents (Chemical & Natural)
Using substances to deter wildlife from feeding or entering specific areas. Includes both commercially available and naturally derived options.
Identify Primary Repellent Type(s) Used:
Describe Commercial Repellents Used (Name, Concentration, Application Rate):
Describe Natural Repellents Used (Ingredients, Source, Application Method):
Frequency of Repellent Application (per week/month):
Estimated Area Covered by Repellent Application (acres/hectares):
Method of Repellent Application:
Describe any observed wildlife behavior changes after repellent application:
Wildlife Species Targeted by Repellents:
Date of Last Repellent Application:
Scare Tactics & Harassment
Using auditory, visual, or other sensory disturbances to temporarily discourage wildlife. Effectiveness can vary and adaptation can be an issue.
Frequency of Visual Scare Device Deployment (e.g., scarecrow movement)
Number of Scarecrow/Visual Deterrents
Types of Auditory Scare Devices Used (select all that apply)
If 'Other' auditory devices were used, please specify.
Date Scare Tactics Were First Implemented
Typical Time of Day Scare Devices are Activated
Description of any pattern adaptation noticed in Wildlife
Additional Notes on Scare Tactics effectiveness/adjustments needed.
Crop Selection & Timing
Choosing crop varieties and adjusting planting/harvesting schedules to minimize vulnerability to wildlife damage. A preventative, proactive approach.
Consider Wildlife-Resistant Crop Varieties?
Adjust Planting Date (Days Earlier/Later than Usual)
Targeted Harvest Date (To Minimize Post-Flowering Damage)
Notes on Local Wildlife Pressure & Preferred Crops
Crop Rotation Strategies to Discourage Wildlife
Consider planting a 'Sacrificial Crop'?
Specific Timing Adjustments Based on Local Wildlife Behavior
Livestock Protection
Specific strategies for protecting livestock from predation or competition with wildlife. Covers fencing, guarding, and preventative measures.
Livestock Numbers (Head/Animals)
Predator Species Commonly Observed
Description of Past Predation Events (Date, Species, Livestock Lost)
Type of Fencing Currently in Place
Fence Height (feet)
Livestock Guardian Animals (LGAs) Used?
Description of LGA Training/Management Practices (if applicable)
Night Pen/Shelter Use?
Date of Last Perimeter Check
Notes/Observations Regarding Livestock Protection Efforts
Integrated Pest & Wildlife Management (IPWM)
Combining multiple prevention strategies to achieve optimal results while minimizing environmental impact.
Which initial prevention strategies are already in place?
Estimated annual wildlife damage cost (in $)
Primary wildlife species causing damage:
Detailed description of wildlife damage observed (crops affected, extent of damage, etc.)
Date of initial damage assessment
Number of monitoring stations established (for tracking wildlife activity)
Which monitoring methods are being used?
Describe any adjustments made to existing prevention strategies based on monitoring data.
Overall effectiveness of current IPWM approach (Subjective)
Notes or recommendations for future IPWM improvements.
Monitoring & Assessment
Regularly assessing wildlife activity and damage levels to inform management decisions and adapt strategies as needed.
Date of Monitoring
Time of Monitoring (Start)
GPS Coordinates of Monitoring Location
Estimated Wildlife Population (General)
Area of Damage (Acres/Hectares)
Wildlife Species Observed
Specific Damage Observed (e.g., crop type, plant parts)
Notes/Observations (e.g., signs of activity, weather conditions)
Overall Damage Severity (Estimate)
