Default How do you keep Prairie Dogs out of the Parowan Airport?

Build a big fence!

Seems like the right solution to me. Without the fence, P-dogs will
continue to move into the airport area from colonies on adjacent lands
since the airport has been modified inadvertently to be ideal habitat.
That would result in an unnecessary hit to a protected species and a
long protracted battles against nature (not to mention possibly large
fines). With the fence in place, trapping and killing will be a lot
more effective at solving the problem.

Glider pilots should be the least worried about this. If you can't
deal with a rodent on your rollout, what makes you think you are up to
the task of a landout.
