Your HOA at Work

• Common rodent and nuisance animal species include gophers, rats, mice, and ground squirrels.
• APM also provides flea control treatments at designated areas, such as Wagsdale Dog Park, when monitoring indicates treatment is necessary.
• Rodent populations can damage irrigation systems, slopes, turf, plant materials, and community amenities.
• Burrowing activity can create soil instability and trip hazards.
• Rodents may transmit diseases and parasites that affect people and pets, and may attract predators and other nuisance wildlife.

Because Ladera Ranch includes extensive landscaped areas, open spaces, parks, trails, and natural habitat interfaces, ongoing monitoring is necessary to keep rodent populations at acceptable levels.
