Pest pressure in Colorado
Colorado's climate is semi-arid plains, alpine in the mountains. Colorado's dry climate keeps most subtropical pests at bay, but rodents, wasps and elm seed bugs are major seasonal issues. That climate profile is what drives the specific pest pressure CO homeowners deal with — and it's the reason pest control programs in Colorado look different than they do in colder northern states.
