Pest Control in Colorado

Weather differs from one part of Colorado to another. Across the communities we serve, July highs average roughly 87°F, ranging from about 74 to 95°F, while January lows average near 14°F. A typical year brings roughly 16 inches of precipitation, from about 7 inches in the driest of our cities to about 25 in the wettest, and about 175 nights a year at or below freezing. These figures are climate averages from local weather records for 71 cities, so they describe the pattern, not a forecast.

Dry air and big swings between day and night shape when pests move here. Long, cold winters push mice and overwintering insects toward heated buildings, and short, hot summers let outdoor ants, wasps, and mosquitoes ramp up quickly once things warm. That means the calendar for pest activity here looks different from wetter parts of the country, with quiet stretches followed by sudden surges.

Timing matters more than most people expect. Sealing gaps, screening vents, and trimming plants back from siding works best in late summer, before the first hard freeze sends everything looking for shelter. A spring walk-around for wasp nests and ant trails keeps small colonies from turning into large ones and cuts down on how much extermination you ever need.
