Pressurized Exhaust Rodent Controller (PERC)

In response to population explosions in recent years, Agate Conservation District jointly purchased with Double El Conservation District a PERC machine, for leasing to landowners dealing with infestation levels of prairie dogs.

The PERC treatment applies pressurized carbon monoxide to the burrows and is a humane method of control.  Treatment will not leave toxic carcasses or residue, does not require poisons, and is not a threat to other animals.  Vegetation, turf, plants and trees are not disturbed.
