As a passionate naturalist, educator and certified professional level wildlife tracker I have had extensive first hand experience with large carnivores in Santa Cruz county that have been poisoned and or killed directly from the use of rodenticide. Through my line of work I have lots of experience with dead and dying wildlife, and rodenticide is a death I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. When you a poison a gopher, it doesn’t end there. Pictured on this page are common species impacted by rodenticide use and some information on rodenticides for educational purposes. Trapping is a lot more work, and much less profitable than bait stations… which is why its either very expensive OR not used. When you hire Jack’s you can rest assured the only wildlife impacted are the gophers and moles being removed.
