Prairie dog and gopher control for tribal members

As we are once again rapidly approaching another spring season, the Agriculture Division will be available to help with prairie dogs and gophers that can be problematic around tribal homes.

We have a very effective tool to help manage this concern.  A P.E.R.C. (pressurized exhaust Rodent Control) machine was purchased last winter and after a season of use we have seen major success.

Prairie dogs have the potential of being carriers of the bubonic plague, as well as posing problems for irrigation and pets among other things. Gophers can cause major damage to grass and tree roots.

Treatment is limited to 100 ft. out from all around your residence. We will be happy to be of service, please call the Agriculture Division at 970-563-2903 to make an appointment.
