Grand Junction Rodent Control Services
Mouse & Rat Control Backed by 65+ Years in Western Colorado
Mice, rats, and pack rats are a year-round challenge in Grand Junction. The semi-arid, high-desert climate pushes rodents indoors during scorching summer heat, cool fall nights, and cold winters, meaning there’s no single “season” when your property is off-limits to them. If you’ve spotted signs of a mouse or rat problem, acting quickly limits both property damage and health risk.
Don’t let a rodent problem put your home or business at risk. Put more than six decades of Western Colorado experience on your side with Jerry's Pest Control. Since 1958, our family-owned and operated team has been committed to effective mouse control in Grand Junction, developing customized treatment plans for each property rather than relying on one-size-fits-all solutions. Free estimates are available for every job.

Signs of a Rodent Infestation
Knowing when to call for professional mouse control can prevent costly damage and real health hazards. Watch for these telltale signs:
- Musty or stale odor
- Dead or live rodents
- Small, pellet-like droppings
- Burrows in yards or gardens
- Chew marks on walls, furniture, food packaging, or wiring
- Nesting materials (shredded paper, insulation, fabric, etc.)
- Unusual noises, such as scratching, scurrying, or gnawing sounds
- Grease smears along baseboards or wall edges, left by rodents traveling the same path repeatedly
One more signal worth noting: a dog or cat that suddenly fixates on a specific wall, cabinet, or corner may be detecting rodent activity before you can see or hear it yourself.
Can Rodents Transmit Diseases?
Rodents may look harmless, but they are known carriers of diseases that spread to humans through handling, bites, contaminated air or materials, and contact with droppings, urine, or saliva.
Health risks include leptospirosis, rat-bite fever, sylvatic typhus, salmonellosis, tularemia, Lassa fever, Mpox, lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM), and South American arenaviruses.
Rodents also carry ticks, mites, and fleas that spread additional illnesses. Because a rodent can’t be assessed for disease by appearance alone, professional removal is the safe path for your family.

How to Keep Rodents Out of Your Home
A few proactive steps can make your property far less inviting to mice and rats. Here’s where to start:
- Keep your kitchen clean and free of food debris.
- Seal openings and cracks in your home’s exterior, including small gaps where mice can squeeze through.
- Store food in airtight containers made of metal or glass.
- Trim back trees or shrubs that may give rodents a climbing path into your home.
- Keep garbage cans tightly sealed and away from your home’s exterior.
- Wipe down counters and sweep floors regularly to eliminate food sources.
- Reduce outdoor clutter such as wood piles and debris near your foundation, which limits nesting opportunities for mice and pack rats common on Western Colorado properties.
What Happens If You Ignore a Rodent Infestation
A rodent problem doesn’t stay small for long. Mice reproduce rapidly, with a single female capable of producing multiple litters per year, turning a minor issue into a significant infestation within weeks. Left untreated, rodents cause structural damage to wood, insulation, and drywall; contaminate food and belongings; create fire hazards from gnawed wiring; and aggravate allergies and asthma. The stress of living with an infestation carries real psychological weight, too, including anxiety and disrupted sleep.
DIY traps can catch individual rodents, but they don’t locate entry points, remove nesting material, or prevent re-entry. Professional treatment addresses the full cycle and can resolve the problem faster than trial-and-error methods.
