Salida is a small Colorado city of about 6,000 people, with parks such as Alpine Park and Thonhoff Park, the Salida Regional Library and a scattering of galleries, including Four Winds Gallery and Gallery 150. The buildings around them range widely in age, and older structures with worn seals and foundations tend to draw the most pest calls.

We rely on natural pest control options, using non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and there is never a long-term contract.

Pests we treat around Salida
Pests in Salida
What we deal with most around Salida, CO
Salida sits in very dry country, and pests hunt for reliable water and warmth. Mice and other rodents are the biggest winter concern, entering through small gaps around doors, pipes and foundations. Spiders and stink bugs shelter in garages and window frames, and boxelder bugs collect on sun-warmed walls before drifting indoors.
About 201 nights a year drop to freezing or below, so shelter-seeking pests are a factor for most of the year. Summer has only around 15 days at 90 degrees or higher, but ants and wasps still become active in warm weeks, especially near irrigated yards and gardens. Wherever moisture collects, expect carpenter ants and flies, and check leaks around sinks, roofs and outdoor faucets.
Weather and pests
How Salida's weather affects pest activity
These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, and they are a guide, not a forecast. Salida is one of the drier places in our service area, with just about 9 inches of precipitation in a typical year and roughly 37 inches of snow. July highs average about 86 degrees, and January lows average about 12.
August is the wettest month, at roughly 1.5 inches, so even the rainy season is modest. Because natural moisture is so scarce, insects gather around anything that supplies it, including drip irrigation, hose bibs, birdbaths and damp crawl spaces. Mosquitoes can breed in small amounts of standing water, so it is worth emptying containers and fixing slow leaks near the foundation.
For Salida, a good rhythm runs like this. In spring, inspect and treat the exterior and look for damp wood. Summer is for watching irrigation, dumping water and checking eaves for wasps. Early fall is the best time to close gaps and store firewood away from the house. Through winter, look in attics, garages and storage areas for droppings or gnawed material, which are the first signs of rodents.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Salida
Ant treatment in Salida
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Salida, 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 Salida
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Salida 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 Salida
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 Salida home is built.
Cockroach control in Salida
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 Salida apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Salida
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 Salida
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Salida. 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.
