New Signs are being posted during our annual seasonal transition.

The City of McCall is committed to ensuring the safety of our community while effectively managing city facilities and infrastructure in items such as pest control, critter control, dusty roads, and noxious weeds. Our staff carefully evaluates and implements the safest and most effective treatments available for these issues. Staff looks beyond the label for products that are the least impactful to our land and water environments.

All treatments are conducted sparingly, following strict guidelines, and only when necessary. Treatment signs are typically posted during applications, and areas such as the McCall Golf Course are often closed during these times.

In the fall, specifically at the Golf Course, as we prepare for winter, our staff inspects the course to identify areas of concern, assess damage, and locate problematic holes. Treatments are then limited to mowed grass areas, with native regions left untouched. To ensure safety and effectiveness, our staff uses precise methods for application, focusing on designated areas to minimize any potential impact. This practice significantly reduces the risk of unintended consequences, and all staff members are trained in properly applying and storing treatment materials to eliminate the risk of accidental exposure.

We have consulted with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) regarding protected species and confirmed that there are no threats to wildlife with treatment methods.

Please be reminded that the golf course is now closed to prepare for winter and will reopen for walking per city code on November 15th. As the course opens on November 15th for walking, please keep in mind the ordinance requiring dog owners to keep their pets on a leash and under control at all times, including within the golf course area.

Thank you for respecting signage and for your understanding and cooperation as we aim to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment at the course!
