Our natural pest control options include non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and we do not ask for a long-term contract.

Pests we treat around Gunnison
Pests in Gunnison
What we deal with most around Gunnison, CO
For most Gunnison properties, winter is the busy season. Mice and other rodents push into garages, crawl spaces and wall voids as soon as temperatures fall, and they can stay all winter if nothing stops them. Spiders, cluster flies and boxelder bugs also come indoors to overwinter, then appear near windows on the first warm days of spring.
Almost 250 nights a year drop to freezing or below, which is a very long cold season, so the pressure to find shelter never really lets up. Summers are short and mild, with July highs near 80 degrees and no days at 90, but ants, wasps and flies still take advantage of the warm weeks. Carpenter ants work in damp wood, so leaks near roofs, decks and windows are worth fixing quickly.
Weather and pests
How Gunnison's weather affects pest activity
The figures here are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, and they are a guide, not a forecast. Gunnison is very cold in winter, with January lows averaging about 6 degrees below zero, and July is the warmest month with highs near 80. The area receives only about 11 inches of precipitation in a typical year, though roughly 46 inches of that falls as snow.
August is the wettest month at about 1.4 inches, which is still modest, so this is dry country by any measure. Dry conditions send insects toward any reliable source of moisture, such as irrigated lawns, leaky faucets and damp basements. Snowmelt can keep soil around foundations wet in spring, which is worth remembering if you have wood siding or a wood deck.
A good Gunnison routine begins with an early-fall exterior check, since fall is when mice and other pests are looking for a way in. Seal gaps around utility lines and doors, and keep firewood well away from the house. In winter, look at storage rooms and attics for signs of activity. Through spring and summer, fix moisture problems and watch for ants and wasps as the weather finally warms.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Gunnison
Ant treatment in Gunnison
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Gunnison, 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 Gunnison
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Gunnison 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 Gunnison
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 Gunnison home is built.
Cockroach control in Gunnison
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 Gunnison apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Gunnison
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 Gunnison
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Gunnison. 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.
