Mosquito season is short in Colorado. But other pests are active throughout the year like rodents, spiders, insects, and ticks. If your home is dealing with any of those, year-round coverage probably makes sense.
You may wonder if year-round pest control is worth it in Colorado. After all, it’s not as warm and humid here as it is in other states. Can you get away with less frequent treatment? The answer might be yes, but it depends on your situation.
Mosquitoes are that extra special kind of annoying, so let’s start there. Colorado is high altitude and semi-arid, which means mosquito season is shorter. It starts later and ends earlier. But the mosquitoes can still be a big problem here, so seasonal coverage still often makes a lot of sense. But if you are having a mosquito problem and only a mosquito problem, year-round coverage might be overdoing it.
Mosquitoes aren't the whole pest picture, and the other pests run on different calendars. As the weather cools, rodents look for a way indoors and can be a year-round nuisance once inside. Spiders, ants, and overwintering insects don't disappear with the first frost. And ticks along the Front Range and foothills can become active on any mild, above-freezing day. They’re not just summer problems.
If you have a home that’s dealing with ticks, rodents, ants, or overwintering insects, you’ll probably want year-round coverage. Otherwise, for mosquito control alone, seasonal is probably OK.
