Pests we treat around Lamar
Pests in Lamar
What we deal with most around Lamar, CO
Lamar's heat is the biggest driver of pest activity. About 73 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, and summer highs in July average around 93. In that kind of weather ants, wasps, flies and mosquitoes multiply fast, and cockroaches thrive in warm kitchens, laundry rooms and any spot with a little moisture.
The cold season matters too, since about 160 nights a year fall at or below freezing. Mice and other rodents move toward buildings to get out of the cold, often through gaps no wider than a pencil. Spiders and stink bugs tuck into garages and window frames, and termites keep working in wood that stays in contact with damp soil. Regular checks of foundations, crawl spaces and outbuildings catch most problems early.
Weather and pests
How Lamar's weather affects pest activity
The numbers here are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so think of them as a guide, not a forecast. In a typical year Lamar gets around 16 inches of precipitation and about 30 inches of snow, which makes it a fairly dry place. January is the coldest month, with lows averaging about 14 degrees.
July is also the wettest month, at about 2.8 inches, so the hottest weather and the heaviest rain arrive together. That combination is when mosquitoes breed in puddles, birdbaths and clogged gutters, and when ant colonies grow quickly around patios and foundations. Irrigation runoff and leaky hose bibs can create the same conditions, even in a dry stretch.
A steady yearly routine works best. In spring, inspect the outside of your home, clear debris and treat for ants. In summer, dump standing water, trim plants back from siding and watch for wasp nests. As fall arrives, seal gaps, screen vents and store firewood away from walls. In winter, check garages, basements and closets for droppings, chewed material or nesting spots, which are the early signs of rodents.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Lamar
Ant treatment in Lamar
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Lamar, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Hot summers keep colonies growing all season. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Lamar
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Lamar 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 Lamar
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 Lamar home is built.
Cockroach control in Lamar
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 Lamar apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Lamar
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 Lamar
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Lamar. 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.
