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

Problem is, though, the ferrets are threatened and endangered. *And

When mice give the prairie dogs the plague, the ferrets die also.
It's cyclical. We have prairie dogs and methods to try to keep them
under control. If our neighbors would do the same, the problem would
be easier. The National Black-Footed Ferret Recovery Center is 6.75
miles NNE of the glider port. I spent a fair amount of time driving
the winch during a year and watching all manner of birds, raptors, and
ground critters and have yet to see a ferret. If they'd give me a
few, I'd re-introduce them at the glider port;^)

I just don't get it!

How can a species as prolific as the P-dog, and hunted in other states
be "Endangered"??
They are also a Rodent and Certified Pest, right? and cause economic
problems to farmers and ranchers?
Is this some kind of sick joke??

unfortunately not

This is the Utah prairie Dog, a different (and listed endangered) species than those hunted, poisoned, gassed, blown up, napalmed, drowned, etc. elsewhere.

Still I reserve judgement on this fence, wonder how much repair work it will take as these critters dig out one side of the fence etc. They can do an incredible amount of damage.

Ah ha! We don't have prairie dogs here in WI and I wasn't aware there
was a species that was endangered. Of course, it just has to be that
kind that is invading that airport.

We don't have them here in So Cal either. My truck still starts every
morning and I' still get to work. My airplane still starts and my
glider launches. They don't dig up my airport and I don't miss them,
please don't bring them down or introduce them here (or I'll shoot and
trap them).

Here is your solution!!!!

Have not tried it, but go on the web site and look at some of the
video. Looks almost as much as soaring.

Well, no not really, but looks like a hoot!!!

The Rodenator is also good for fixing USENET posts that repeat stuff that has been mentioned before in a thread. You just squeeze the trigger and kapow those repeat posts are gone :-0
