Poison is Leathel & Lazy. It goes into the chain and affects all sorts of wildlife 🦊 🦔 🦉 & even our pets 🐶 .
It's also used unnecessarily most of the time.

We’re so excited to launch this new custom piece by local artist Tropical Funk whose work aims to raise awareness about native species, one funky illustration at a time.
🐜
In Hawai`i specifically, the pest species we inspect for are rodents, yellow crazy ants and little fire ants, with the goal of protecting the ecosystems and native wildlife of the remote islands. Seabirds are some of the most vulnerable to pest animal incursions and infestations.

🐀 Rodents communicate using micro droplets of urine, which are undetectable to the human eye. These tiny droplets carry odors that convey messages about territory, mates, resources, and danger.

🦮But here’s where our detection dogs shine!✨

They can sniff out these hidden odors, helping us identify high-activity areas like entry points, pathways, and nesting sites. And micro droplets are just one of the many rodent-related odors our dogs detect during this process, making them invaluable in targeted, chemical-free pest management. 🚫🧪☠️

Body Awareness is essential for IPM detection dogs. Canine JJ must routinely navigate around items and tight spaces. 🐾🦮🙌🏻
