Rat and rodent control on Colorado’s Front RangeCoop quiet. Feed stays put.
Burrowing rats under coops, sheds and barns, treated in the burrow where they nest.
04 · Rats and rodents
What it is, and what it costs you.
Rats dig. Around a chicken coop, a barn or a shed, they build burrows under the floor and along the foundation.
That keeps them close to the feed.
By the time you see them in daylight there are usually a lot of them.
One customer found more rats in the coop than they could have imagined.
This is burrow work, done outside.
Rich treats the burrows with pressurized gas, which reaches the nests under the structure.
No bait goes out where hens, dogs or cats can get to it.
Field signs
How to tell it is rats and rodents.
Holes under structures
Openings two to four inches wide under coops, sheds, decks and along foundations.
Packed runs
Smooth, bare paths from the burrows to the feed, the water or the compost.
Feed going missing
Feed bins and spilled grain emptied faster than the birds can eat it.
Gnaw marks
Chewed boards, feed bags and hoses near the burrows.
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.
The job
How Rich handles it.
Coops, horse barns, hay storage and garden sheds are the usual spots.
Clean up spilled feed and close off easy food, and the treatment holds a lot longer.
Mice or rats inside the house are a different job.
Call and describe it, and Rich will tell you straight whether it is a fit.
We had in our chicken coop, more rats than I can imagine and we’ve now done a couple of treatments with this and I see almost done now I’ve never seen this level of effectiveness in terms of termination, super friendly service very professional would recommend anyone with rodent issues
Find the burrows
Rich looks under and around the structure and finds the active openings.
Treat the system
Each active burrow gets the pressurized treatment, reaching the nests under the floor.
Follow up
Big infestations can take more than one treatment. One coop in the reviews took a couple.

Questions
Common questions.
Is it safe around my chickens?
No bait goes out, so there is nothing for the birds to peck at.
Keep the flock clear of the hoses while the treatment is going in.
How many treatments will it take?
A small problem is often one. A coop with a lot of rats can take a couple, like the one in the reviews.
Do you treat inside houses?
This service is burrows outside: coops, barns, sheds and yards. For anything inside, call and ask first.
