Promoting Professionalism in Wildlife Control
The Role of the National Wildlife Control Operators Association (NWCOA)
The National Wildlife Control Operators Association (NWCOA) is a pivotal organization in the wildlife control industry, promoting professionalism, providing comprehensive training, and setting high standards for its members. For businesses like Gold Country Wildlife Control, NWCOA membership is not only a mark of credibility but also a testament to our commitment to ethical and effective wildlife management.
About NWCOA
Established to enhance the standards and practices of wildlife control operators, NWCOA offers a wide range of training programs and certifications. These programs cover various aspects of wildlife control, including species-specific management, zoonotic diseases, and ethical practices. NWCOA's mission is to ensure that wildlife control operators are well-equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to address wildlife conflicts humanely and effectively.
Comprehensive Training and Certifications

These certifications reflect our dedication to using the latest and most humane methods in wildlife control. NWCOA's training programs are designed to keep members updated with the latest techniques and regulatory requirements, ensuring that we provide the highest quality service to our clients.
Bat Standards Certified
Our bat control services are guided by NWCOA's Bat Standards, which emphasize humane exclusion methods and compliance with wildlife laws. This certification ensures that our team is proficient in identifying bat species, understanding their behavior, and implementing exclusion techniques that prevent re-entry while ensuring the safety of the bats.
Bird Control Certified
Pigeon and other bird control are also areas where NWCOA certification is crucial. This certification includes training on various bird deterrents, exclusion methods, and the safe removal of bird nests and droppings. By adhering to NWCOA's standards, we ensure that our bird control methods are effective and humane.
General Wildlife and Zoonotics Certified
Wildlife control often involves managing a wide range of species and understanding the diseases they can carry. NWCOA's general wildlife and zoonotics certifications equip us with the knowledge to handle different wildlife species safely and prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases. This training is essential for protecting both our clients and our team from potential health risks associated with wildlife control.

NWCOA Expo and Industry Leadership
In 2023, our owner, Dalton, had the honor of speaking at the NWCOA Expo in Texas. This event is a gathering of the industry's leading professionals, where they share knowledge, discuss emerging trends, and promote best practices in wildlife control. Dalton's participation underscores our active involvement in the industry and our dedication to continuous improvement and education.
Dalton spoke on “Running a Large Service Area”. Covering Tahoe to Grass Valley he felt he had valuable input on using remote monitoring and utilizing long term repairs over short term trapping.
