Who We Are
US Wildlife Dispatch is an independent information and referral platform. We publish research-backed identification guides and connect homeowners with licensed local wildlife professionals. After years of fielding calls from homeowners who found raccoons in their attic or snakes under their porch — and had no idea where to turn for reliable information — we built this resource to fill that gap.
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 translate these sources into plain language that a homeowner can actually use. We cite specific regulations, studies, and agency guidance — not opinion.
- Editorial Review: Each article is checked for factual accuracy against its cited sources. We update articles when new regulations or research come out.
- Transparency: Every article includes an editorial note explaining our methodology and source citations. We clearly label any affiliate relationships.
