What is a PERC Machine?

Pictured here is our PERC machine, PERC stands for Pressurized Exhaust Rodent Control. This machine is a state-of-the-art device designed specifically for injecting concentrated carbon monoxide into burrow systems for lethal control of rodents


Carbon monoxide is one of the most potent yet safe poisons that instantly kills burrowing rodents. Until now, there has been no inexpensive, efficient delivery system to control these pests

How Does it Work?

Pure exhaust (2.5% carbon monoxide, CO) is captured off a gas engine and routed through a set of cooling coils into the intake ports of the compressor. The exhaust gas is then pressurized to 110+ PSI in pressure tank and concentrated until the parts per million are very high and injected into burrows with a wand-probe, purging the air from the burrow in seconds trapping the rodent in an airless burrow before it has a chance to react or escape. This is the most humane method of exterminating burrowing rodents since they breathe in a cooled gas that causes them to go to sleep and never wake up.


TL;DR: The PERC creates lethal carbon monoxide through engine exhaust that is routed through cooling coils to a pressurized tank & injected into underground burrows at a very high rate of pressure

Advantages of a PERC Machine

  • Immediate results: Immediate asphyxiation and death of burrowing pests
  • Highly Effective: Targets moles directly in their tunnels, ensuring efficient eradication
  • Peace of Mind: Enjoy a mole-free lawn without the worry of poisons, chemicals that could harm family or pets
