Red Deer sits at the heart of Alberta's agricultural corridor, where the transition from parkland to prairie creates ideal conditions for a wide range of wildlife species — and a correspondingly high rate of human-wildlife conflict. Coyotes, deer, beavers, and birds regularly move through the region's farmland, wetlands, and expanding urban areas, creating challenges for farmers, municipalities, and businesses alike. Animal Damage Control has been serving Central Alberta clients since 1990, bringing professional wildlife management expertise to the Red Deer region and the communities that surround it.
Central Alberta's wildlife conflicts often have an agricultural dimension that requires specialized knowledge. Predator pressure on livestock, crop damage from deer and geese, and beaver flooding of drainage infrastructure are among the most common challenges we address in this region. Our team understands the economic stakes for agricultural operators and the urgency that comes with wildlife conflicts in a production environment. We respond quickly, work efficiently, and build management strategies designed to deliver lasting results.
Red Deer and Central Alberta's parkland and agricultural landscape supports a broad range of species. Our team is trained and licensed to manage all of the following species commonly encountered in the region:
