Know your pests
Pests we treat around Durango
Pests in Durango
What we deal with most around Durango, CO
Durango has long, snowy winters, so rodents are among the most persistent calls. Mice and rats slip into garages, crawl spaces and wall voids as nights get cold, and they can stay through the season. Carpenter ants work into damp wood, spiders settle in basements and window wells, and boxelder bugs and stink bugs gather on sunny walls in the fall before finding their way in.
Multi-unit buildings and rentals add another layer, since cockroaches and bed bugs can travel between units or arrive with used furniture and luggage, so bed bug treatment is one of the services people in busy housing look for. With only about 13 days a year reaching 90 degrees, summers are mild, but there is still enough warmth for ants, mosquitoes and wasps to be active around yards, river areas and patios.
Weather and pests
How Durango's weather affects pest activity
Durango's winters are long and its summers are mild. July highs average about 85 degrees, January lows about 13, and the area gets roughly 20 inches of precipitation in a typical year, along with around 64 inches of snow. August is the wettest month at about 2.3 inches, and the area logs about 180 nights a year at or below freezing. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.
That many freezing nights means rodents and overwintering insects spend a long season looking for shelter, so exterior sealing is one of the best investments a Durango homeowner can make. Check door sweeps, garage seals, vents and the places where pipes and cables enter the walls, and repair any damaged screens. Store firewood off the ground and away from the wall to remove a favorite hiding place.
Summer storms in August leave puddles, damp mulch and standing water in planters and clogged gutters, which suit mosquitoes and moisture-loving ants. Tip out containers, redirect downspouts and keep vegetation trimmed away from the house. Spring melt can also soak the soil beside foundations, so check crawl spaces and basements for dampness, since termites and carpenter ants often follow moisture.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Durango
Ant treatment in Durango
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Durango, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Activity climbs quickly once spring temperatures arrive. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Durango
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Durango buildings offer plenty of all three. With a long cold season, the pressure builds every fall. Our exclusion-based approach combines inspection, sealing entry points, trapping and monitoring, so you fix the reason rodents got in, not only the rodents you can see.
Termite control in Durango
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. A yearly inspection costs little next to the cost of repairs. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Durango home is built.
Cockroach control in Durango
Cockroaches are hard to get rid of with store-bought sprays. We locate the hiding places, treat cracks, crevices and voids, and use monitoring so we know the treatment worked. It is a common request in Durango apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Durango
Most spiders are harmless, but nobody wants webs around the door or a spider in the basement. We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the perimeter and reduce the insects that spiders feed on, which keeps them from coming back.
Mosquito control in Durango
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Durango. We treat resting areas in your yard, help you find and remove breeding sites and schedule visits through the warm season so you can use your yard again.
