Got Gophers?

Extensive field experience by growers has demonstrated a kill rate in excess of 90% over a season's use, with reductions of rodent populations by 66% to 75% in a single treatment.

Gophers or ground squirrels can cause production losses of 20%-50% in pastures and alfalfa.

Equipment breakdowns and dirt-contaminated hay cause huge economic losses to the farmer. Trees and vines girdled and killed by gophers can destroy the economic viability of an orchard or vineyard.

The PERC (Pressurized Exhaust Rodent Controller) is a new invention; an environmentally friendly, cost effective system for significantly reducing burrowing rodent populations on large acreage farms. Excellent for alfalfa hay farming operations as well as for use on any other large acreage.

Custom Operators and landscape professionals, as well as their customers, will appreciate the noninvasive control PERC provides.

PERC is also a powerful compressor that can be used in the field.  Compressed and cooled exhaust (carbon monoxide) is safer than compressed air when used for blowing out equipment such as hay bailers, where loose flammable material may come in contact with hot components.

Pressurized exhaust kills burrowing rodents.

No Poison Baits!      No Explosions!

Gophers and ground squirrels cost farmers and landscapers millions of dollars every year!

Carbon monoxide is one of the most potent yet safe poisons that kills burrowing rodents. Until now, there has been no inexpensive, efficient delivery system to control these pests.

The PERC is an elegant solution:

An internal combustion engine is used to both generate carbon monoxide and pressurize it to 125 PSI. Using multiple probes, burrows are easily detected and quickly filled with a lethal concentration of carbon monoxide before a rodent has a chance to react or escape.

Points of Interest

 

Operator Safety is important!

 

While baits, traps, shooting, blowing up burrows, and conventional low-pressure auto exhaust delivery systems all work, nothing is as effective, efficient and inexpensive to use as the PERC system. A single operator using the PERC system can treat moderately infested alfalfa fields at about 3.5 acres per hour.
