Most pests are active all year round. This means that you require to protect your property throughout the year. The type of treatments we offer is customized based on each season to ensure that your premises are pest-free regardless of the time of the year. After our treatment process, if the pests come back, we will eliminate them at no additional cost to you.
At Richard’s Pest Control, we provide four treatments per year – during winter, fall, spring, and summer. Due to increased heat levels, pest activity is highest during summer. Spring is the breeding season for a myriad of pests and during winter and fall, pests are seeking all of the warmth they can obtain. However, we will have your house's perimeter secured from these unwelcome guests.
Our pest control company in Chromo CO is experienced with handling all types of pests. Some of the pests that we exterminate include:
Of all pests, termites are the most damaging and costly pests. These insects feed on the organic fibrous matter in plants and wood which means that they can literally feed on your house. This means that they need to be exterminated as soon as they are spotted. Notify us immediately you see them, and we will get rid of them safely and effectively from your property.

Bedbugs are tiny, oval-shaped insects that depend on human or animal blood for survival. Even if bedbugs can't fly, they can move swiftly over walls, ceilings, and floors. They reproduce rapidly and due to their flattened bodies, they can hide in tiny spaces. We are experienced in getting rid of bedbugs on a domestic scale as well as on a commercial scale.
Mosquitoes are infamously known to be carriers of diseases like malaria. These bloodsuckers reproduce fast which means that they can get out of control easily. Completely eliminating mosquitoes requires professional help because most DIY treatments do not eradicate mosquitoes at each stage of their lifecycle. Contact us today and your mosquito problem will be taken care of.
To reduce nuisance fly breeding around the home, keep trash areas clean, remove pet waste promptly, rinse recycling bins, and clean damp organic residue from utility areas and drains. Flies thrive when breeding material is left alone too long.
To make your yard less attractive to mosquitoes, reduce standing water, trim dense vegetation, refresh decorative water features often, and improve airflow around seating areas. Small hidden water sources are one of the biggest mosquito drivers in CO.
To reduce mosquito breeding around your Chromo property, empty standing water weekly, clean gutters, refresh birdbath water often, and store buckets or containers upside down. Mosquitoes do not need much water to breed, so small neglected spots matter more than most homeowners expect.
One pest issue is usually easier to isolate than several happening at once. If a property in Chromo has ants in the kitchen, rodents in the attic, and mosquitoes outside, the service scope becomes layered. More problems usually means more inspection, more time, and more planning.
The type of pest matters because not all infestations are equal. Ants, roaches, rodents, wasps, termites, and bed bugs all require different inspection methods, treatment strategies, and follow-up expectations. In CO, the pest itself often determines whether service is simple, specialized, or more labor-intensive.
If pests are getting in through multiple entry points, the job becomes more complex. A few ants near one window is one thing. Rodents using roof gaps, garage corners, utility penetrations, and crawl-space openings is something else entirely. More entry points usually means more inspection time and more work to create lasting control.
Pavement ants often become noticeable in spring when colonies near sidewalks, driveways, or patios start expanding. They commonly enter through tiny gaps under doors or at the edge of flooring.
For light infestations, seal visible cracks where practical, keep exterior thresholds clean, and wipe interior trails with soapy water or vinegar solution. Outside, remove food debris and avoid leaving drink spills or pet bowls near entry points. A simple borax-free approach for mild cases is cleanliness plus entry-point management. If the ants keep reappearing from the same foundation line, Richard's Pest Control can advise on a more durable local solution for Chromo, CO.
Small pantry beetles often show up in spring once stored dry goods warm up and household activity increases. They may be found in flour, cereal, rice, spices, or pet food.
For light activity, remove suspect packages, vacuum the pantry thoroughly, wipe shelves, and move replacement items into sealed containers. Check forgotten boxes at the back of shelves, because that is usually where the plot twist lives. Freezing newly purchased dry goods for a short period can sometimes help reduce risk in sensitive items. If beetles keep appearing after a full reset, Richard's Pest Control can help locate the recurring source in your Chromo home.
Spring growth attracts aphids to ornamentals, porch plants, and sometimes indoor plants placed near sunny windows. While they are mainly plant pests, they also attract ants and create sticky residue that becomes a household annoyance.
For light infestations, rinse plants gently with water, prune heavily affected tips, and use mild soapy water on outdoor plant leaves where appropriate. Do not overfertilize, because lush new growth is basically an aphid welcome sign. If aphid activity around entry points begins drawing ants indoors, Richard's Pest Control can help you address the broader spring pest pressure around your Chromo home.

Other cities we serve nearby:
Seasonal pressure varies, but many areas see increased ants and stinging insects in warm months and rodent pressure as temperatures drop. We tailor prevention around typical seasonal cycles in CO.
Snake activity is usually driven by habitat and prey (rodents, frogs). While snakes are not typically controlled like insects, we can recommend prevention steps: reduce rodent pressure, trim vegetation, and remove debris and hiding places.
Some pest control services can be performed during construction phases, especially for termite prevention and exclusion planning. If you are building in CO, ask what is available for your project.
Yes. Nest removal depends on species and nest location. Avoid disturbing a nest yourself, especially in enclosed areas, because defensive behavior can escalate quickly. Richard's Pest Control can handle it safely.
Yes. Effective roach control usually requires inspection, targeted products, sanitation guidance, and follow-up. Results improve significantly when food, water, and hiding places are reduced behind appliances and under sinks.
Because inspections often reveal the real scope. What looked like a small issue by phone may turn out to involve multiple rooms, hidden activity, structural gaps, or more severe pressure than expected. Good inspections reduce surprises later, even if they change the original estimate.
Properties with repeat seasonal pressure, heavy exterior pest activity, larger perimeters, or chronic entry issues often do better with ongoing service. In Chromo, some homes simply sit in conditions that support recurring pest pressure. Ongoing service can cost more upfront but less than repeated emergency calls.
Two homes may look similar from the street and still require very different treatment plans. One may have more moisture problems, more pest-friendly landscaping, more attic or crawl-space access issues, or more structural gaps. In CO, hidden conditions often matter more than the square footage alone.
Seasonal pest pressure changes what a property needs throughout the year. Mosquitoes and wasps may drive summer costs, while rodents and overwintering pests become bigger issues in fall and winter. A year-round prevention strategy often helps smooth out those seasonal spikes.
Prevention reduces the chance that pest pressure becomes severe, hidden, or widespread. By dealing with entry points, seasonal pressure, and supportive conditions early, many properties avoid larger corrective treatments later. Prevention is not free, but it is often cheaper than rebuilding control after repeated failures.
