Pests we treat around Golden
Pests in Golden
What we deal with most around Golden, CO
Golden's setting means a mix of pests that are drawn by shade, moisture and cool nights. Mice and other rodents look for shelter in garages, sheds and attics once the weather turns, carpenter ants move into damp wood, and spiders settle in window wells and along eaves. Termites can attack wood near the soil, and in late summer and fall, wasps, boxelder bugs and stink bugs become more noticeable around sunny walls and rooflines.
Golden records about 154 nights a year at or below freezing and only around 31 days a year at 90 degrees or higher, so summers are moderate and winters are long enough that rodents and overwintering insects spend many weeks trying to get inside. Homes near parks and greenbelts such as Discovery Park or Rimrock Park may see more ticks, mosquitoes and fleas coming in from the grass.
Weather and pests
How Golden's weather affects pest activity
Snow is a big part of the picture in Golden. July highs average about 86 degrees, January lows about 21, and December is usually the coldest month overall. The area receives roughly 18 inches of precipitation in a typical year, along with about 58 inches of snow, and May is the wettest month at about 2.6 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and should be treated as a guide, not a forecast.
Heavy snow and spring melt can leave moisture near foundations, in window wells and beneath decks. Ants, spiders, termites and even cockroaches use that dampness. Keep snow shoveled back from the base of the house, make sure gutters and downspouts carry water away, and check for leaks under sinks and around water heaters. After a wet May, empty saucers, buckets and birdbaths so mosquitoes cannot get started.
Once the cold weather arrives, mice and other rodents will use any small gap they find. Seal openings around pipes, vents and garage doors, and keep firewood, bird seed and pet food away from the house. Attics and crawl spaces deserve attention too, because rodents nest in insulation. Signs to watch for include droppings, gnaw marks and scratching, and a pest inspection can help pinpoint how they are getting in.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Golden
Ant treatment in Golden
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Golden, 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 Golden
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Golden 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 Golden
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 Golden home is built.
Cockroach control in Golden
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 Golden apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Golden
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 Golden
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Golden. 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.
