Just northeast of Boulder
Rodent control in Gunbarrel.
Gunbarrel sits northeast of Boulder along the Diagonal Highway, about 16 minutes from downtown.
Neighborhoods like Willowbrook, Powderhorn and Hunter Creek share a private park, Gunbarrel Commons.
A lot of Gunbarrel backs onto open space, farm fields and the Twin Lakes area.
Boulder Reservoir sits just to the west.
That open grass is prairie dog and vole country, and it starts at the back fence.
Most calls here are lawns and gardens.
Think gopher mounds after a wet spring, vole runways after the snow, or prairie dogs from the next field.
Bigger lots and pasture edges toward Niwot get colony work as well.
The rig is built to go out onto the field instead of working from the road.

The PERC® method
Every tunnel, in seconds.
PERC® stands for Pressurized Exhaust Rodent Control.
Instead of a bait on the surface or a trap at one hole, the treatment goes down the burrow and through it.
- 1
Probe in
A probe from the rig goes into each active entrance. Several hoses work at once.
- 2
Pressure on
Pressurized gas, about 2.5 percent carbon monoxide, fills every connected tunnel.
- 3
Purged in seconds
The burrow is purged of air before the rodent can get out another entrance.

In their own words.
Rich with the Rodent Ranger was excellent! We had a gopher issue in our yard.
Rich was knowledgeable and explained the process. We felt comfortable with his advice/plan with the holes.
We have not had an issue since.
Questions
Gunbarrel questions.
Our yard backs onto open space. Can you treat our side?
Yes, on your property.
The open space itself is managed by its owner, so the treatment covers the holes on your land.

Gunbarrel is inside the service area, which runs up to 125 miles from Rich’s base in Milliken.
How is the job priced?

The estimate is free, and the quote is based on what is actually there.
Terrain and weather set the pace: 12 to 20 holes an hour.
How fast does it work?
The pressurized flow purges a burrow in seconds.
The Rodent Ranger’s own figure is about a 90 percent reduction from one treatment.
