call of the wild

5/4/14 11:10:38 AM -- Potomac, MD, U.S.A -- Peggy Dennis of Potomac, MD, stands in front of the holy bush along her driveway," deers have eaten all the holly up to the browse line." She has been treated twice for Lyme Disease. "I've been battling deer for 25 years," Dennis says. The question of how to handle these "nuisance species" is difficult and many times expensive. Encounters with wildlife can be dangerous in the case of deer-vehicle collisions or just bothersome. Lethal methods of elimination can be controversial, so as American cities and neighborhoods continue to sprawl many communities are faced with the issue of controlling species that may have nowhere else to go.
