Now, we're sure you have seen barriers throughout the Front Range that made you think "That looks terrible!" or "How is that supposed to work? The prairie dogs just dug underneath it!" So, why does this happen? 99% of the time either the barrier hasn't been properly maintained or the barrier is ill-suited for the site.

Unfortunately, there is no "silver bullet" - no "one design fits all" solution. It is critical that a knowledgeable and experienced wildlife biologist visits your site and takes into account characteristics of the colony itself, topography, soil types, adjacent land uses, other species, etc. when designing your barrier.

There are numerous designs and materials available - some are better suited for some sites than others. Also, we completely understand that money is always an issue, especially in today's economy. RES is dedicated to designing you to most cost-effective barrier possible. However, please understand that sometimes the best barrier may be the most expensive barrier. But wouldn't you rather pay once for something that will work and will last as long as possible rather than taking the cheaper route which will fail almost immediately? You bet!
