The PESTT agreement broken down.
"term "urban rodent control" shall mean actions to directly control mice, rats, voles, squirrels, chipmunks, gophers, woodchucks, and groundhogs"
USDA will now consider these animals as urban rodents.
"in a city or town with a population greater than 50,000 inhabitants and the urbanized area contiguous and adjacent to such a city or town,"
USDA will no longer control urban rodents in cities with a population of 50k or more AND the suburbs around these urban areas.
" except actions involving: (1) federal agencies;"
USDA will still be able to provide urban rodent control to other federal agencies.
"(2) government entities engaged in a cooperative service agreement with APHIS to provide direct control of rodents as of October 1, 2013"
This mean that they will have to cancel any contracts they have in place with government entities prior to October 1st But they will not be able to renew them. Once they expire.
"3) a state in which direct control of the rodent species has been expressly authorized by state law, rulemaking, or a local jurisdiction's ordinance promulgated by public notice and an opportunity for public comment or as otherwise promulgated as required and authorized by the respective state or local law; "
If you state passes a specific law that has public comment, allowing/directing USDA to do rodent control they will still be able to do it.
"(4) railways and airport air sides areas. "
USDA will still be able to do rodent control for railway. But they will not be able to do rodent work on airport property outside of the security fence. ie. terminal and the areas you can go without being frisked by tsa.
"APHIS will refer all requests for operational assistance with "urban rodent control" from private entities such as home and business owners and associations to the private sector."
This requires usda to refer all urban rodent work to private companies!
Everyone needs to contact the state director of WS in their state and inform them of this agreement. You also need to start calling them out when they violate this agreement.

Keep in mind the this is not officiall If you know USDA is doing beaver work in an urban environment you need to immediately file an oig complaint through your congresman before it is to late. Pm me and I can walk you through the process

The fact is teh USDA was prohibited from doing "urban Rodent Control" and now they will be allowed to as they defined it. They excluded BEAVER, NUTRIA, MUSKRATS on purpose not by accident. Get on the phone and demand your senators/representatives to support the original PESTT Act, tell them the Pest Control Association does not speak for the Wildlife Control Industry.
Everyone needs to file an oig complacent saying USDA is violating thir 1987 authorization by trapping urban rodents. Call or pm me for details.

I fully support filing complaints against the USDA WS. Yes they have broken the law. When you break the actions of this rogue agency down by each violation they break thousands of laws that private citizens would be fined and or jailed for doing every year nationwide. Most state laws created by the states have an exemption for the feds and all federal laws give WS exemptions. This alone needs to stop or someday we are all gonna wake up to hearing only our government can do anyhting with wildlife and the looney left will help them including all hunting and trapping.This is deeper then just what happens to an industry. We are just one of many dominoes that need not fall - screw the AR's and WS. Most of the mission that USDA WS is not even needed and a duplication of an already strong, better informed & trained private wildlife control industry. The USDA WS is just a waste of federal funding and their mission can be fully privatized without any effect on the economy . The missions they perform will still be done and their employees with all of their great government trapping experience the opportunity to compete equally with all of us as sole owners or even large special purpose wildlife control companies. The federal Gov has no business in the ADC business. USDA WS screws up everything they touch - coyote control, beaver control, pigeon control, etc. etc. etc., If there is a fur, nonfur or nongame species that needs control, let the states control and decide there own problems. Any association that thinks they represent the private wildlife control industry must realize you do not have the right to take any right of private citizens who want to keep their business's trapping beaver, muskrat, nutria or any wildlife species other then the Chupacabra. Beaver trapping has been a occupation and profit opportunity of the private citizen long before the US Constitution was ever signed. No association has the right to represent and give away the rights of a private citizen to trap beaver to any government agency. Right now we have city people looking out for their own financial interests and they are more then willing to sell out every rural trapper in america today.
