LUCERO JOSEPH D

Lucero Joseph D specializes in wild hog control and invasive species management through targeted hunting and trapping operations, delivering precision wildlife mitigation services to federal land and resource agencies. Their technical expertise includes non-lethal and lethal population control methodologies, trap placement and monitoring, feral swine behavior analysis, and habitat-based intervention planning. The contractor’s key differentiator lies in field-ready, adaptive execution of USDA-mandated eradication protocols, with proven ability to operate in complex ecological environments while minimizing non-target impacts and ensuring compliance with environmental and animal welfare standards. Operations are conducted with a focus on rapid response, data-driven tracking, and coordination with wildlife biologists and land managers to achieve sustainable outcomes. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, providing direct field support for invasive species eradication initiatives under agency call orders and emergency response frameworks. Their work supports USDA’s mission to protect agricultural lands, native ecosystems, and public infrastructure from the destructive impacts of feral swine, including soil erosion, crop damage, and disease vectoring. Engagement is primarily operational in nature, with contracts structured as task-based call-offs requiring immediate mobilization and on-site execution. The primary NAICS code, 114210 — Hunting and Trapping — reflects a niche but critical role in federal wildlife management, where the contractor serves as a specialized contractor for ecological restoration and agricultural protection efforts. This vertical is highly specialized, requiring licensed trappers, field logistics expertise, and adherence to state and federal wildlife regulations. The contractor’s market positioning is that of a hands-on, on-the-ground service provider rather than a consulting or technology firm, filling a vital gap in operational wildlife control. Lucero Joseph D operates as a sole proprietorship (Entity Structure 2J) based in Aiken, South Carolina, with no federal certifications on record. The business is geographically positioned to support Southeastern federal land management needs, leveraging regional familiarity with feral swine populations and local environmental conditions to deliver responsive, scalable field operations.
