BugZout provides pest control for homes and businesses throughout Westcliffe and the Wet Mountain Valley. Mountain homes, ranch properties and buildings in town can each bring their own pest problems.
Westcliffe's elevation and colder winters shorten the outdoor pest season compared with Cañon City or Florence. But when temperatures warm, insects become active quickly, and colder weather can push mice and other pests toward protected structures.
Westcliffe sits in a broad valley where ranching remains an important part of the community. Homes surrounded by pasture, hay fields and open land naturally have more interaction with rodents and insects living nearby.
Cabins, barns, shops, garages and seasonal properties create different pest challenges than a house in town. Buildings that sit unused for periods of time can also give mice and insects an opportunity to settle in unnoticed.
Westcliffe and nearby Silver Cliff sit on the valley floor with ranches and open country stretching outward toward the mountains. A pest problem in town can look very different from one several miles out on acreage.
Westcliffe gets warm summer days, cold nights, mountain runoff, irrigation and serious winter weather. Those seasonal changes affect when pests become active and when they start looking for shelter inside buildings

Homes, cabins, barns and other buildings surrounded by open land can be attractive shelter for mice, especially as temperatures drop.

Garages, sheds, crawlspaces, wood piles and other quiet areas provide protected places for spiders to live and hunt.

Once warmer weather arrives, wasps and yellow jackets can establish nests around rooflines, decks, sheds, barns and other protected areas

Ant colonies become active during the warmer months and can show up around foundations, yards and other areas where food and moisture are available

Cockroach problems can still occur even in a colder mountain climate, particularly inside heated buildings where food, water and protected hiding areas are available.

Elevation doesn't stop bed bugs. They can be carried into homes, cabins, rentals and other buildings and survive comfortably indoors.
BugZout has been making the drive up to Westcliffe and the Wet Mountain Valley for years. We understand that pest control on a mountain or ranch property isn't always the same as treating a house down in Cañon City.
Whether you're in town, on acreage or farther out in Custer County, give us a call or text us a picture of what you're dealing with.
