Prairie dog poison deadline nears

The legal deadline for applying Rozol prairie dog poison is soon coming to an end, with March 15 being the last day labeled to apply. The Weed and Pest has limited Rozol in stock, please contact us if you are in need of Rozol, or to talk about other control options with more flexible application dates.

Both district employees will be attending a workshop in Casper on March 19 and 20. Because of this, the Weed and Pest office will be closed on March 19 and 20. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Lastly, there will be one more opportunity for Crook County residents to attend a pesticide safety training from UW Extension. The training will be held in Hulett on Monday, March 25 from 1 – 4 p.m. in the Greater Hulett Community Center.

Attending this training will grant attendees a Wyoming Private Applicator License, as well as an opportunity for those with a Commercial Applicator License to receive 3 CEUs. This will be the last of these trainings in Crook County for the year, so if you are in need of a license, or just interested in coming, please mark your calendars.

If you have any questions concerning this training, please contact our office (283-2375), or Blake Hauptman at UW Extension (283-1192).
