Varmints are animals or pests that can cause significant damage to natural landscapes, agricultural resources, and property values. They are mainly made up of non-native animals, such as wild hogs, coyotes, rats, and rabbits, but also include native species that are considered destructive, such as deer, beavers, and foxes. Varmint control is an important part of protecting the environment. Varmints can wreak havoc on the ecosystem, from causing damage to the environment and disrupting other species’ populations, to decreasing crop productivity and damaging property values. Varmints can also pose a threat to human health, carrying diseases such as rabies, bubonic plague, and tularemia. Preventing and managing varmint populations is a challenging task that requires a comprehensive approach. This includes everything from creating deterrents, such as fences and trapping, to encouraging natural predators to eat them. Additionally, people can also reduce varmints by not feeding them, disposing of food and trash properly, removing cover, and keeping pets away. Ultimately, stopping the damage caused by varmints takes a combination of both proactive action, such as vaccination and outreach, and reactive management, such as trapping and hunting.
