AIRCRAFT STRIKE MITIGATION: Use trucks, firearms, traps and pyrotechnics to lethally remove or non-lethally haze wildlife off of airport grounds within a 5-mile buffer zone of the airfield. Airports worked on include Daniel K. Inoyue Intl Airport, Kalaeloa Airport and Dillingham Airfield. Patrols occur Mon.-Fri. at all times of day/night.
WIDLIFE DAMAGE MITIGATION: Advise clientele on appropriate methods to use to reduce incidents of human-wildlife conflict within project areas. Utilize lethal and non-lethal methods to remove non-native and invasive wildlife from project areas Mon.-Fri. Wildlife most frequently dealt with include non-native birds, feral swine, feral cats, and Indian Mongoose.
WILDLIFE TRAPPING: Construct, transport, and assemble traps to be used, within project areas, for the removal of non-native and invasive wildlife. Traps used most often include baited corrals, large cage traps, Tomahawk cage traps, Doc-250 Predator Traps, neck and leg snares.
ANIMAL HANDLING: Handled wildlife that were captured in any traps set within project areas. Handled wildlife included various bird species, feral cats, feral dogs and feral pigs. Depending on the species, captured wildlife would either be transferred to the Hawaiian Human Society for adoption or euthanized.
FIREARMS: Utilize .22 caliber pistols, .22 caliber rifles, .25 caliber air rifles and 12-gauge shotguns for lethal removal of non-native and invasive wildlife within project areas.
DATA RECORDS: Record and collect data for wildlife taken or hazed within project areas. Data would then be used to inform recommendations that would be made to relevant persons on appropriate wildlife damage mitigation actions.
