Prairie Dog Nuisance Concern:

They typically dwell out in empty fields
Occasionally they can get into a person’s yard
They are carriers of many disease and fleas
Their burrows soften the soil which can be dangerous to livestock

Prairie Dog Removal:

APCS can poison the holes and then cover them up (depending on size and scope of job)
Another way to remove prairie dogs is to extract and catch them live

General Information about Prairie Dogs:

One litter a year, consisting of 3-8 babies
Birthing months are typically early spring
They eat roots and grass
They are active during the day
