Who We Are
US Wildlife Dispatch is an independent research and consumer education organization. We are not a pest control company. We do not sell pest control services, and we do not accept payment for favorable treatment of any pest control provider. Our mission is to give homeowners accurate, evidence-based information so they can make informed decisions about pest and wildlife issues on their property.
Our Editorial Process
Every article published on US Wildlife Dispatch goes through a multi-stage review process:
- Source Gathering: Our research team collects data from primary regulatory sources (EPA, CDC, USDA APHIS), peer-reviewed entomology journals, university extension publications (Texas A&M AgriLife, TPWD), and NPMA industry standards.
- Content Synthesis: We synthesize these sources into accessible, actionable guidance for homeowners. We cite specific regulations, studies, and agency guidance — not opinion.
- Editorial Review: Each article is reviewed for factual accuracy against its cited sources. We update articles when new regulations or research emerge.
- Transparency: Every article includes an editorial note explaining our methodology and source citations. We clearly label any affiliate relationships.
