Between Boulder and Longmont
Rodent control in Niwot.
Niwot sits on the Diagonal Highway between Boulder and Longmont.
The town is named for Chief Niwot, or Left Hand, of the Southern Arapaho.
Old Town Niwot runs along 2nd Avenue.
Most of the area around it is acreage: horse property, irrigated pasture and hay ground.
Big-lot neighborhoods sit along Left Hand Creek and the ditches.
That mix is exactly where prairie dogs and gophers do the most damage.
Holes in a turnout are a hazard for horses, and mounds in a hay field get into the equipment.
The PERC® rig goes out on a trailer behind a UTV.
A big pasture colony gets worked hole by hole, with no truck crossing the field.

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.
Google review
In their own words.
I haven’t found anyone better with prairie dog removal than Richard at Rodent Ranger.
His price is extremely reasonable with the service he offers.
He goes above and beyond to make sure the job is done right and on time as well as guaranteeing his work.
I will definitely use him for any future jobs I need and can’t recommend him enough!!!!!
Questions
Niwot questions.
We have horses. Is it safe to treat the pasture?
Nothing is left on the ground: no bait and no traps.
Keep the horses out of the area while the treatment goes in.
How is a big pasture priced?
Per active hole, after Rich walks the ground. The estimate is free.
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.
Holes that reopen get a second pass.
Do I need a permit for prairie dogs?
It depends on where the land is.
The City of Boulder and Boulder County each have rules for some property.
Say the address when you call and the plan starts from there.
