Animal Damage Control handles all wildlife species and issues throughout Alberta and Western Canada. Since 1990, we have been the preferred choice for industry, agriculture, municipalities, and all levels of government.
Animal Damage Control (ADC) is Alberta's most experienced wildlife management company, operating since 1990. We provide professional, humane, and legally compliant wildlife control services for a full spectrum of species — from urban coyotes and nuisance beavers to bears on industrial worksites and birds fouling commercial buildings.
Our team of certified wildlife specialists works with municipalities, oil and gas companies, agricultural operations, and residential clients throughout Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Fort McMurray, and across Western Canada. We are a preferred contractor for provincial and federal government agencies and have managed some of the largest urban wildlife programs in the country.
Every wildlife conflict is different. ADC takes a science-based, integrated approach — combining assessment, deterrence, exclusion, and where necessary, humane removal — to deliver lasting solutions that protect people, property, and wildlife.
