Owl Pellets
If you find owl pellets in your neighborhood, collect them carefully in a Ziploc bag. Owls regurgitate them daily. Once you've got 10 or so, contact us.
Carmel Owls will pass them on to local Monterey Peninsula schools. Owl pellets are highly prized for dissection compared to the dreaded formaldehyde frogs in biology class.
One owl pellet is suitable for examination by two students and must be sterilized prior to dissection.
Rat & Mouse Comparison
The Government of British Columbia, Canada, has a very good page on rat and mice control.
Rats and mice are most active at night, so it can be hard to spot them. Watch out for these signs:
- Droppings and urine stains
- Burrows, holes or nests
- Runs and tracks
- Greasy rub marks and chew marks
- Chewed food packages
