Rodent Control

Effective Rodent Management for Colorado Homes & Businesses

Rodents are among the most destructive and unsanitary pests in Colorado. Pest X Colorado provides a comprehensive Rodent Control Program designed to eliminate rats and mice quickly and keep them from returning. Using professional-grade rodenticides, secure bait stations, and strategic trapping methods, we deliver a long-lasting solution that protects your home, garage, crawl space, and exterior foundation.

Our team follows a structured, industry-approved Rodent Protocol that targets rodents at every stage — from active adult populations to ongoing prevention and monitoring.

What This Service Covers

Our Rodent Control Program is designed to address:

  • Mice

  • Rats

  • Voles

  • Moles

  • Activity in garages, crawl spaces, basements & exterior foundations

  • Rodent entry points

  • Rodent droppings & monitoring

  • Ongoing population reduction

Whether you’re hearing scratching, seeing droppings, or spotting rodents around the property, our program provides fast and professional results.

Rodent Control Products We Use

We use only professional-grade products specified by the client:

  • Contractor Blocks Rodenticide

  • Protecta Bait Stations

  • Glue Traps

  • Snap Traps

These are proven, reliable, and safe when used correctly — secured in tamper-resistant stations to protect children, pets, and wildlife.

Rodent Control Protocol

Exterior Rodent Treatment

1. Minimum of Two Exterior Bait Stations

We install at least two tamper-resistant bait stations around the exterior foundation — positioned where rodents naturally travel.

Placed strategically:

  • Along the foundation perimeter

  • Near bushes, fences, and shaded areas

  • Close to utility and HVAC access points

These stations reduce exterior populations and prevent rodents from reaching the structure.

Interior Rodent Treatment

1. Garage Bait Stations

Stations are placed on both sides of the garage — the most common rodent entry point.

2. Crawl Space Placement

If a crawl space is accessible, we position stations inside to stop rodent movement beneath the home.

3. Glue Traps & Snap Traps

For active populations, we use glue traps and snap traps to remove adult rodents quickly and safely.

4. Carcass Disposal Upon Request

If a rodent is caught in a trap, customers may request a technician visit for removal.

Service Frequency & Follow-Up

Rodent control requires a combination of trapping and ongoing population reduction.

  • Initial service: Setup of bait stations & traps

  • Follow-up visits: As needed based on customer reports

  • Maintenance: Can be integrated into pest control visits

Because rodents reproduce rapidly, monitoring stations help reduce long-term pressure.

Types of Diseases That Rodents Spread

  • 1. Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) –Spread through aerosolized rodent urine/feces (mainly deer mice). Causes severe respiratory illness.
  • 2. Leptospirosis –Spread through rodent urine contaminating soil/water. Causes fever, jaundice, kidney/liver damage.
  • 3. Salmonellosis – Spread by rodent feces contaminating food prep areas. Causes diarrhea, fever, cramps.
  • 4. Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV) – House mice are the reservoir. Causes meningitis-like illness and birth defects.
  • 5. Rat-Bite Fever – Spread from rodent bites or scratches. Caused by Streptobacillus moniliformis or Spirillum minus.
  • 6. Plague (rodents + fleas) – Ground squirrels, prairie dogs, rats act as reservoirs. Fleas transfer infected blood to humans.
  • 7. Tularemia – Rodents/rabbits carry it; transmitted via ticks, deer flies, or contact.
  • 8. Hemorrhagic Fever With Renal Syndrome – Related to hantaviruses carried by rodents in Europe/Asia.

Why Rodent Control Is Essential in Colorado

Rodents spread bacteria, damage insulation, chew wiring, and contaminate food sources. In Colorado homes, they commonly:

  • Enter through garages

  • Nest in crawl spaces & basements

  • Follow utility lines and structural gaps

  • Seek shelter during winter

  • Invade attics & wall voids

Professional rodent control removes active populations and prevents future invasions.
