Rodents can reproduce quickly, turning a minor issue into a major infestation in just weeks. Early detection and professional treatment are key to keeping your home or business safe.
“By the time you see one mouse, there are likely 5-10 more hiding in your walls. Don’t wait until the problem multiplies.”
Additional Warning Signs:
- Nesting materials like shredded paper, fabric, or insulation.
- A musky odor from hidden rodent activity
- Grease marks along baseboards or walls
Common Rodents in Colorado and Their Risks
Colorado is home to several rodent species that frequently invade properties. Each species has different habits and poses unique challenges.
House Mice
Small and agile, able to squeeze through openings as tiny as a dime. They reproduce rapidly, turning a small issue into a full infestation within weeks. House mice carry salmonella, hantavirus, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV).
Norway Rats
These larger rodents prefer underground nesting but will invade structures for warmth. Their powerful teeth can chew through walls, pipes, and wires, increasing the risk of structural damage and fire hazards. Norway rats spread rat-bite fever, leptospirosis, and salmonella.

Roof rats are excellent climbers that seek warm, elevated nesting areas like attics. They can chew through insulation, wiring, and wooden beams, leading to costly repairs. These rodents carry hantavirus, rat-bite fever, and toxoplasmosis.
Deer mice prefer attics and remote storage spaces, particularly in rural and suburban areas. Their droppings and urine are highly infectious, making them primary carriers of hantavirus, which can lead to Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), a serious and potentially fatal respiratory illness.

Why Rodent Control is Essential in Colorado
Health Risks
Rodents are known carriers of serious diseases that can be transmitted through direct contact, contaminated food and water, or inhalation of airborne particles from droppings.
“The CDC reports that rodents can spread over 35 diseases worldwide. In Colorado, several of these diseases pose significant health threats to residents.”
Top 5 Rodent-Borne Diseases in Colorado:
1. Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS)
A potentially fatal respiratory disease spread primarily by deer mice. Colorado has one of the highest rates of HPS in the United States.
2. Leptospirosis
A bacterial infection spread by rats and mice through urine contamination of water and soil.
3. Salmonella
A common foodborne illness linked to rodent droppings in pantries and kitchens.
4. Rat-Bite Fever
A bacterial infection transmitted through bites, scratches, or handling infected rodents.
5. Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV)
A virus carried by house mice that can cause flu-like symptoms and neurological issues.
