Exclusion Solutions

Fencing, barriers, and access-point sealing that keep problem wildlife out of fields, outbuildings, and stored feed for good.

Habitat Management

Land and cover adjustments that reduce nuisance pressure on your property while supporting a healthy, balanced wildlife population nearby.

Property Protection

Ongoing monitoring and response for agricultural and rural landowners dealing with recurring crop and property damage.

Built on the Ground, Not in a Boardroom

Vanguard Wildlife Management was founded by Nick Soltau and Jeff Yerington — lifelong hunters with experience ranging from small game to trophy big game across the region. That firsthand knowledge of how wildlife moves, feeds, and behaves is what sets our approach apart from a typical pest control outfit.

We hold the Ohio Commercial Nuisance Wild Animal Control Certification and specialize in agricultural and rural properties, where unmanaged deer, geese, and other wildlife can mean real losses at harvest. All of our methods follow AVMA humane handling standards, and we never use pesticides or chemicals of any kind — the safety of your kids, pets, and livestock comes first, always.

Our goal isn't just removal — it's a lasting, balanced solution that protects your land without losing sight of responsible wildlife management.

Proudly serving Northwest Ohio and the surrounding area.
