Boxelder bugs and the fall
When do boxelder bugs come to the walls?
CSU Extension says they gather on building exteriors on warm fall and winter days, then enter through cracks.
Do they damage the house?
The sources say they do not damage the structure or stored food, though crushing them can stain fabric.
Termites
Are termites found in Colorado?
Yes. CSU Extension says subterranean termites are found in the state, with structural damage described as less common than in wetter or warmer states.
What should I do if I see a mud tube?
Book an inspection and do not spray or dig. The inspector follows the tube to the wood it reaches.
Rodents, ants and other pests
Which rodent species are in Boulder?
This site did not find a Colorado source that names them, so it does not say. The technician identifies what is found on the visit.
Can you handle ants and spiders?
Yes, as general services. The species is identified on the visit, and the report records it.
Licences, reports and money
Who licenses pest control in Colorado?
The Colorado Department of Agriculture licenses anyone who applies pesticides for pay, and each commercial business must have a Qualified Supervisor.
Is there a price on the site?
No. The price is confirmed on site before work begins.
Will I get a report?
Yes, in writing, with the areas checked, the findings and the follow-up date.
