For years, Naropa has battled some 150 persistent prairie dogs over 2.5 acres of prime real estate on its Nalanda campus. One side wants to build more classrooms, the other more tunnels.
Davis recalled one of her professors asking, "I wonder what we'd do if we ever got termites?"

Prairie dog /ground hog? Close enough!
Ping...or not.
They need to embrace the suck.

Grandkids spent their first five years a couple hundred yards from that location. It’s always interesting when one liberal group goes after another in Boulder.
LOL, “prarie dog defenders”. They are probably the same people who believe that we should introduce more rats into the NYC region (so that innocent small business owners are forced to shut down). Then they’ll also say they are for “sustainable agriculture” ROFL
With that post I truly , laughed out loud!
Now, I must ask about the sudden changes in the local air pressure and the eardrums of the prairie dogs?
I have heard that they have that secret whistle ‘thing’ going?
I’m thinking that all of the CNBC crew are attuned to secret /silent whistles?
They could be placed in a small tunnel and a 30 inch plus vacuum applied.
They could report any problems!
If they failed to respond, who would notice?
Prairie dogs are smaller than groundhogs ...
That’s all. In the wrong location they’re equally destructive and pestiferous.
Brings back many found memories when I went P dogging every year for awhile.
YES!
Notice all the defenders; and no one to accept a free prairie dog colony?
They all want a million illegals/muslims; not near their home?
Prarie dogs are worse than ground hogs. You usually don’t get enormous ground hog colonies. You might get a dozen or so living in a tunnel complex, but that’s about all.
No prairie dogs around here, but we do have groundhogs.
They can wipe out a garden in no time!
I do not mind the possums, coons, rabbits... even the skunks I can live with. With apple and mulberry trees I get them all!
The good news, coyotes love them!
I’ll grant the larger numbers of prairie dogs (obviously), but they’re on the same level of destructiveness. 5.56mm turns them both inside out ...
That $100k could have built a 2 acre underground glass box to they couldn’t extend their tunnels. Charge admission and recoup the costs.
Or move the city dog pound there and let the dogs and cats take care of the situation.
And to think, twenty years ago the anti-hunters said the varmint hunters were killing off the prairie dogs and they would soon be extinct!
Perhaps if Yersinia pestis. were introduced to the colony it would keep them in check.
I like it!
A minor adjustment, trench and insert chicken wire.Add video cameras in the tunnels and above.Glass cost money.
27/7 The P-Dog internet channel, sell all sorts of P-Dog stuff!
See how happy they are as we pour a nice water proof slab over them! See how cozy it is under the new building!
No that’s not Zyklon B, it is pure nitrogen, just like 78% of what we breathe...
Notice that in the link @ post#3, they fumigate the critters!
The vacuum gizmo is the answer!
Put the extraction on pay per view?
Long view, no close up until they are released.
Oregon Girl is 16th U.S. Plague Case This Year

Rodents such as squirrels and prairie dogs can carry the fleas that transmit plague.

Good way to solve the problem and clean up Boulder at the same time! Maybe even Denver!
