1. Describe human health problems associated with wildlife. 2. Explain other problems related to wildlife. 3. Identify laws associated to wildlife control.

Many diseases that cause illness and death in humans are carried and transmitted by wildlife. Some diseases are carried by animals but do not cause any symptoms. These same diseases can be deadly to humans. Two of these diseases are Lyme disease and the West Nile Virus.

Lyme disease is caused by bacteria and is transmitted by different species of black-legged ticks. The highest risk area for this disease is along the mid- Atlantic and northern United States. The best way to prevent contraction of Lyme disease is to wear protective clothing when working or playing outdoors. All exposed skin should be covered and the body, including the scalp, should be checked after being outdoors.

The West Nile virus is a rare condition caused by mosquito bites. This disease can affect people, horses, and birds. Symptoms of the disease can be as minor as a low- grade fever and rash to death. The best way to prevent contraction of the West Nile virus is to apply an insect repellent that contains DEET, wear long shirts and pants, and eliminate sources of standing water near your home.

Wildlife can cause many problems that do not relate to human health. These problems can be both troublesome and expensive. Examples of wildlife that can cause these problems include bats and raccoons.

Bats are warm blooded, winged mammals that are capable of flying. Bats use high frequency sound waves to navigate and find food. These high frequency sound waves work like sonar. Bats are active at night and roost during the day. The problems with bats are the noises they make. Bats commonly scratch and crawl through attics and walls of homes and other buildings.

Bats also leave droppings in the attics and walls. As these droppings accumulate, they create a fowl odor and appearance. Ways to prevent these problems are to prevent bats from entering homes in the first place, cover chimneys, and cover holes once bats have left the home or building.

Raccoons are nocturnal animals. A nocturnal animal is one that sleeps during the day and looks for food at night. These animals live in many environments and can feed on almost anything. They are considered pests because they destroy gardens, nest in attics and below houses, and get into garbage cans.

To prevent problems caused by raccoons seal off entrances to the home, cap chimneys, use garbage cans with attached lids, and tie garbage containers to racks so they cannot be knocked over.

Most states have a number of laws and regulations regarding the protection of wildlife species and their habitats. Land owned by the state is regulated as well as land that the state intends to acquire. Private landowners are also responsible for wildlife control.

Examples of laws and regulations that affect private landowners include Stewardship Initiative Plan, Forest Management Assistance Program, and programs such as Natural Heritage Landmarks program and the Private Land Wildlife Habitat Program.
