Whether it's moles in the lawn, squirrels in the attic or coyotes terrorizing a neighborhood, consumers now have instant access to research-based solutions for helping humans and wildlife coexist through an online resource dedicated to linking people who need information with the experts who have this information.

The eXtension Wildlife Damage Management Web site puts information on consumers’ computer screens. It's an excellent resource for anyone needing information about managing wildlife problems. To take advantage of the site, register at http://www.extension.org and choose wildlife damage management.

The Web site was developed through the collaboration of nationally recognized wildlife biologists, nuisance wildlife control operators, educators and people interested in the field of human-wildlife relations.

The Web site also features:

• Frequently asked questions, which allow users to submit queries about wildlife management
• Ask the expert, which provides answers to questions not available in the frequently asked questions section, with a usual response within 24 hours
• News and upcoming events at local, state and national levels
• Glossary and diseases list terms and illnesses that commonly are found in wildlife damage management

eXtension is an educational partnership of more than 70 land-grant universities helping Americans improve their lives with access to timely, objective, research-based information and educational opportunities. eXtension's interactive Web site is customized with links to local Cooperative Extension Web sites. Land-grant universities were founded on the ideals that higher education should be accessible to all, that the university should teach liberal and practical subjects and share the university's knowledge with people throughout their states.
