Three calls dominate our Meeker schedule. First, scratching sounds inside the attic after dark: cold winters drive rodents indoors for warmth, and rural acreage properties with outbuildings give mice plenty of staging ground.
We run snap-trap stations and tamper-resistant bait stations, then seal entry points a mouse fits through a ¼-inch gap, so exclusion work matters as much as trapping. Self-check: run a palm along baseboards near the pantry and look for droppings 3–6 mm long.
Second, termite mud tubes along foundation walls. We inspect, confirm whether tubes are active, and treat according to foundation access and construction type.
Third, ant trails crossing kitchen counters, which spike when summer heat accelerates insect activity. We trace the trail to the colony, not just the counter.
Sudden temperature swings affect treatment timing, so we pick application windows carefully. We serve every address in 81641, including homes near Meeker City Park and properties out CO 13 and CO 64. One quick check before we arrive: clear stored items from treatment areas so we can reach baseboards and wall voids.
