One of the most effective ways to keep wildlife out of airport grounds is through the use of fencing and barriers. This can include physical barriers such as walls or hedges. Fencing options like welded wire mesh are very effective at keeping out larger animals, while smaller mesh sizes or netting can be used to keep out birds and other smaller wildlife.
Habitat modification is another effective way to control wildlife around airports. This approach involves altering the environment to make it less attractive to wildlife. This can include removing food sources, creating natural barriers, or planting native species that are less appealing to wildlife or removing the plants that are drawing them in. By making the airport grounds less attractive to wildlife, it can discourage them from entering the airport grounds.
Trapping and relocation can be used to remove problem wildlife from airport grounds. However, it should be done under the guidance of a professional, who can ensure that the animal is safely and humanely trapped, and that the relocation site is appropriate for the species. It is important to note that trapping and relocation can have negative impacts on the animal, and should only be used as a last resort when other methods have been exhausted. It is also important to check and follow the laws and regulations regarding trapping and relocation of wildlife.
