Green Pest Control With Owl Nest Boxes from Air Superiority!

owl-nest-boxWhat’s an Owl Box? It’s Air Superiority’s answer to all your rat, mice and gopher problems. If you’ve seen Caddy Shack, then you know what lengths people will go to in order to rid themselves of a pesky gopher. We all have some horrifying stories of how uncle Jim or aunt Edna massacred a whole family of gophers using dynamite, a pick-axe and a water cannon. Luckily for all the family members, now there is a better way. It turns out that a pair of nesting owls eat up to 2000 rodents a year. That’s a lot of savings in bad gopher killing stories, and no family members will actually have blood on their hands. Air Superiority serves the western states, mainly California and Arizona. They provide and install owl boxes designed to entice owls to make your home or farm their staging area for rodent hunting. Tom Stephan runs Air Superiority and has practiced falconry since 1967. Tom knows birds. This is green pest control at its finest; no poisons, no scary gopher horror stories, although I’m sure the gophers find the owls pretty horrific. Air Superiority Owl Boxes range from about $350 to over $1000 installed, depending on model and options (which include fun options like video and motion detection).

Great idea, but what sort of owl would fit into those holes?!
I’m thinking you meant to post this picture:

Thanks for the comment Greg, and for catching my photo error. Air Superiority also provides boxes for species other than owls. . . . so it looks like I grabbed an image not really geared towards owls. Thanks for the correction!
