Wildlife Contro Technology Magazine Articles
Here is a partial list of the animal damage control related articles publshed by Stephen Vantassel. They are available for purchase. Some articles are available for free. Others have been expanded upon and re-published in one of my books. If the article is in one of my books, I have listed a link so you can purchase the book etc.
WE NEED YOUR HELP
If you have some of the issues listed here that are designated as "Missing", we would appreciate it if you could look at your issue and see if I wrote an article for that issue. Just e-mail us with the information at info@aallanimalcontrol.com I would be most appreciative. None means that we have looked at the issue and it does NOT contain an article by me.
If the document is available directly through an Adobe Acrobat File then a price is listed. These articles are not available in on-line ordering. For off-line ordering information scroll to the bottom of the page for instructions. This list is a work in progress, so feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions. info@aallanimalcontrol.com
