Natural Rodent Control!  

 

More Information


I include a link to the Raptor Pilot Study for Levee Protection. The  Ventura County Watershed Protection District (WPD) completed the study to see if raptors such as hawks and owls can reduce ground squirrels around dams and levees. You can read about the success of the findings below. 


We built two perches and put them up on 3/8/2020. We are delighted to see hawks and owls enjoying the perches. I would recommend putting cameras up underneath the poles so you can see what birds are using the perches.


We are also moving forward with a project in Old Agoura! Four residents will have owl boxes mounted on poles. We'll keep you posted on the progress!


 LESSON LEARNED: Before you purchase a box, ask a lot of questions. Find out if you need to make modifications to the box so it will fit on a pole.

Barn Owl Boxes Video

Check out this great video from CITIZENS FOR LOS ANGELES WILDLIFE (CLAW)


If you want to put up an owl box, it is important to notify your neighbors. If your neighbors are using poisons, one poisoned rat could kill the owl family. 


CLAW provides a Barn Owl Box Program flyer you can provide to your neighbors:
