Pests are undesirable living organisms in a specific place or time. People manage pests for many reasons: They may damage crops, carry diseases, or interfere with a homeowner’s use and enjoyment of property. A vertebrate pest is an undesirable animal with a backbone. Vertebrate pests may be mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and birds.

Where the vertebrate animal is found determines whether it is considered a pest. For example, native Ohio wildlife are usually not considered pests in their natural habitat, but when they invade structures, interfere with human interests, or threaten health and safety, they are considered pests. Examples of common vertebrate pests in Ohio include sparrows, starlings, pigeons, raccoons, skunks, groundhogs, moles, voles, rats, mice, and squirrels.
