Common pest issues in Denver 

Because of the cold winters, mice and rats love finding ways into homes for warmth. Bedbugs are also a growing problem, especially in apartment complexes and hotels near downtown. You might have problems with gnats, silverfish and carpenter ants too.

Pest control costs in Denver

Denver exterminator costs vary depending on the severity of your infestations. Expect to pay between $150 and $500 for a one-time service. However, fixing an extreme bedbug, rodent or termite infestation can cost $2,000 or more. About two-thirds of the homeowners who treated pests in the past year paid up to $1,000, and 30% spent up to $5,000, according to a ConsumerAffairs survey.

How to hire an exterminator in Denver

Most exterminators make it easy to contact online or by phone. Here’s what to consider before making your final decision.

1. Know your enemy: First, narrow it down to exterminators specializing in your problem. When you get in touch, you will likely be asked where you see the pests, how often and if there is any visible damage.

2. Read reviews: A few negative reviews are normal, but a pattern of consistently bad experiences is a major warning sign. You can also ask friends and neighbors for recommendations.

Reputable exterminators often display their license number on their website, vehicles or marketing materials.

3. Check credentials: You can confirm an exterminator or pest control company’s license through the Colorado Department of Agriculture. We also suggest hiring companies with additional certifications through organizations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA).

4. Ask questions: Ask if they use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques, which focus on long-term prevention and minimize pesticide use. Discuss safety measures and any necessary precautions if you have children or pets. Don't hesitate to ask for clarification on any part of the contract you don't understand.

5. Get ready: Your exterminator might give pre-treatment instructions, like cleaning, decluttering or securing pets. If follow-up visits are needed, make sure you know what the schedule will be.

Denver pest control FAQ

What is the difference between pest control and an exterminator?

Even though the terms “pest control” and “exterminator” are often used interchangeably, there are some key distinctions:

  • Exterminators quickly eliminate an existing infestation. They often rely heavily on pesticides to kill pests quickly and may not address the underlying causes of your infestation. If you have a sudden influx of roaches, call an exterminator to get rid of them.
  • Pest control companies focus on long-term prevention. They typically use exclusion, sanitation and targeted pesticide application (often with a preference for less toxic options). A pest control technician will identify entry points, recommend sanitation improvements and use targeted treatments to prevent pests from entering your home in the first place.
Does home insurance cover termite damage?
Is pest control worth it?

You might handle a small infestation yourself, but professional treatment is often necessary to solve the underlying problem and prevent pests from returning. Left untreated, this can turn into a big problem. According to a ConsumerAffairs survey, 12% of Americans have had to move out of their homes temporarily because of a pest issue, and another 7% said they had to leave their homes for good. About 14% reported needing renovations to get their infestation under control.

How often should you get pest control in Denver?

It depends. How comfortable are you with seeing any pests at all? A lower tolerance might mean more frequent service. Homes with lots of landscaping, nearby water sources or older construction might need more frequent pest control.

  • Quarterly: Every three months is a common frequency for general pest control in Denver. It helps maintain a protective barrier and catches infestations early.
  • Bi-monthly: If you have a higher pest pressure or a lower tolerance for pests, every two months frequency might be more suitable.
  • Monthly: This is usually reserved for severe infestations or pests requiring more frequent attention, like German cockroaches.
  • Annual: Some treatments, like termite bait stations, require annual checks and replenishment.
