Black-tailed and some Gunnison’s Prairie dogs do not go into true hibernation, but periods of dormancy during the coldest periods of the winter. Their activity and appetite are decreased during winter. They may sleep for many days at a time, but the town is usually active during the milder days of winter.

No, they do not. After treatment all holes are covered and sealed to return the land to original grade.

We have a service fee (first hour) then an hourly rate thereafter for operations. Our changes are ongoing, but we aim to provide a competitive rate so both parties are happy.

Yes. The prairie dog carries fleas that sometime harbor a plague bacteria (Yersinia pestiis) known to cause bubonic plague in humans. Studies indicate that the plague usually appears when there is a stress in the prairie dog population. A major cause of stress is overpopulation. Most of the prairie dog’s natural predators have been reduced, as a result prairie dog populations increase making them more susceptible to disease.

The state of Colorado requires all pressurized exhaust operators to be license and insured. Our operators have completed all testing and state requirements.

No, it does not. CO treatment is the most humane option available as it disperses the air in the burrow and painlessly puts the rodent to sleep.

The customer will survey the land that needs treatment and count each rodent hole on said land. Once totaled, based on our typical holes per hour, we can determine a low end to high end price range for a full treatment service. These quotes do have the ability to change though based on hole count accuracy, weather, and terrain. But with this, we will always contact the customer once the max quote estimate has been reached to approve continuation of service. No one should ever have to be surprised by a massive, unexpected bill!

Great question! We are a fresh starting, family owned, veteran owned business in Mancos Colorado. We have years of experience treating burrowing rodents on our land, family land, and leased land across Colorado, which lead to the creation of the business. We know the devastating effects these rodents can have on hay fields, front yards, pastures and livestock ranges. We want to assist our community in mitigating the damage by hitting the problem at its source with the best equipment possible and the best results possible. Give us call, let’s do this.

Depending on neighboring colonies, yes, it is possible. All treated burrows will eliminate the vast majority of rodents quickly and humanely, but over time others can move in from bordering properties. Large colonies can need annual treatments before full elimination is possible, which is why we recommend suggesting neighbors get treatments as well if activity is present. This will reduce bleed over and end land disruption in a timelier manor.
