After a year of fertility treatment efforts, Baldwin Park Animal Care Facility had a population decrease of 79.4%
Governmental Facilities
Over a year ago we approached the Los Angeles County Animal Care leadership about their issues with rodents at their animal care facilities. FYXX agreed to assist them with a research project addressing an incredible infestation at their Baldwin Park facility. In less than a year, the rodent population has been reduced to nearly 80%. Staff, volunteers and County maintenance workers were patient but eventually saw results and are our biggest advocates in the effectiveness of fertility control of rodent infestations.
21 Boston Safeway Rat Abatement
FYXX was informed by one of our partners (Raptors Are The Solution) that there was a demolition project of a Safeway grocery (21 Boston Street) store planned in a historic location know as Queen Anne District, Seattle WA. Due to significant past rodent infestations along neighborhoods adjacent to construction projects requiring demolition, the State of Washington requires a rat abatement program to be implemented by a Professional Pest Manager prior to any demolition project. Simply put, the builder is required to pay and have copious amounts of poison/traps deployed on a property that is already unsuccessfully being treated for rodents. Due to the generous support of the developer/builder Maria Barrientos, FYXX partnered with Parker Eco-Friendly Pest Control (Seattle WA) and initiated the world’s VERY FIRST rat abatement project using fertility control. The project was a complete success and the surrounding neighborhood had no reports on post-demolition infestations. Actually, adjacent businesses reported a reduction in rat activity due to the treatment efforts prior to the demolition.
