Extreme Threat
House Mouse
Mus musculus
Active: Year-round (peak fall & winter)
The most common rodent in Denver homes. Contaminates food, spreads salmonella and hantavirus, and a single pair can produce 50+ offspring per year in hidden voids.

The Problem
A rodent problem in Denver isn't just gross. It's relentless.
Mice and rats are wired to find warmth, water, and food — and Denver homes give them all three. Most homeowners try a store-bought trap, miss the colony entirely, and end up calling someone weeks later when the problem has tripled.
You see the signs
Droppings behind the toaster. A chewed cereal box. A streak of grease along the baseboard. Once you spot one, you know there are more.
Denver winters push them in
When the Front Range turns cold, mice and rats migrate from alleys, open space, and detached garages into warm basements, attics, and hidden voids.
You shouldn't have to live like this
Your Denver home should feel like a refuge — not somewhere you check the pantry with a flashlight or lose sleep over scratching sounds at night.
What's at Stake
What waiting actually costs Denver homeowners.
Chewed wiring is the leading rodent-caused source of house fires. Soiled insulation has to be removed and replaced. Contaminated pantries get thrown out. And the health risks — hantavirus, salmonella, leptospirosis — are real in Colorado.
High Threat
Norway Rat
Rattus norvegicus
Active: Year-round (active in alleys & basements)
Found in Denver's alley system, sewers, and around restaurants. Burrows under detached garages and slabs, gnaws through wiring, and carries leptospirosis and salmonella.
High Threat
Deer Mouse
Peromyscus maniculatus
Active: Year-round (peak fall)
Common in foothill-adjacent Denver neighborhoods, garages, and sheds. The primary carrier of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in Colorado — a serious health reason to bring in a professional exterminator rather than handle signs yourself.

Meet OBEX
Your Denver rodent control team — built for Colorado homes.
We get it. Calling about mice or rats is awkward — nobody wants to admit there are rodents in their house. But Denver's old brick bungalows, alley access, foothill proximity, and harsh winters mean rodents are a fact of life here, not a sign you did something wrong. We've handled rodent jobs in every Denver neighborhood, and we'll walk you through it without the lecture.

Your 3-Step Plan
A rodent-free Denver home — without the runaround.
1
Tell us what you're seeing
Share your address and what's going on — droppings, scratching, sightings — in under 60 seconds. We'll send back a transparent quote built for your Denver property.
2
We knock down the population
We deploy a targeted rodent treatment: interior snap-trap programs, tamper-resistant exterior bait stations, and active monitoring keyed to where rodents are entering and nesting.
3
We keep them out year-round
Recurring visits across Denver's rodent calendar keep populations from rebuilding — backed by the Unbothered Promise: if they come back, we do too, at no extra cost.
Where Rodents Take Over
Six places mice and rats hide in Denver homes.
We know exactly where to look — because we look there every week, across thousands of Denver-area service calls.
Attics & ceilings
Scratching overhead at night is almost always mice nesting in insulation. Warm, quiet, and undisturbed — exactly what they want.
Crawlspaces & basements
Denver's older homes (Highlands, Park Hill, Wash Park) have crawlspace access points rodents exploit within days of moving in.
Garages & utility rooms
Pet food, stored boxes, and water heater warmth pull mice and rats off the street and into the attached garage first.
Pantries & kitchens
Once they find the dry-goods shelf, droppings and gnaw marks on packaging show up fast. Food loss and health risk are the real costs.
Basements & utility rooms
Water heaters, furnaces, and stored boxes give mice and rats warmth and cover — without ever tearing into finished walls.
Yard & alley perimeter
Detached garages, woodpiles, and Denver's alley dumpsters create a constant rodent freeway right behind your property.
Denver's Rodent Calendar
Mice and rats don't take a season off in Denver.
Six visits a year, tuned to how rodents actually move through the Front Range — indoors in winter, outdoors in summer, and always reproducing.
- JANVisit 1
Deep winter
Indoor nesting peak
Mice that moved in for warmth are now nesting in basements, attics, and hidden voids. Bait stations are refreshed and interior knockdown begins.
- MARVisit 2
Early spring
First litters
Spring litters mean a sudden jump in rodent activity. We pull populations down before they spread to new harborage.
- MAYVisit 3
Late spring
Yard sweep
Rodents shift outdoors into yards, alleys, and detached garages along the Denver alley system. Perimeter stations are reset.
- JULVisit 4
Summer
Scavenging season
Trash, pet food, and bird feeders pull rats from alleys into your property. Exterior monitoring runs at full strength.
- SEPVisit 5
Early fall
Migration begins
Cooler Front Range nights push rodents toward warm structures. We tighten the exterior perimeter ahead of the move-in wave.
- NOVVisit 6
Pre-winter
Lock-down month
The single most important visit: heavy baiting and trapping right before Denver's first hard freeze sends them indoors.

"We had mice show up in the pantry right as the weather turned. OBEX was out the same week, set up a real plan, and the activity stopped fast. Honest pricing and they actually explain what they're doing."
Story E. · Denver, CO"Heard scratching in the attic for weeks. The OBEX tech knew exactly where to set traps and stations, came back to check them, and stayed in touch the whole time. Highly recommend for any Denver homeowner."
Santiago C. · Thornton, CODenver Rodent FAQ
Common questions from Denver homeowners.
How much does rodent control cost in Denver?
Denver rodent control pricing depends on the size of your property and the severity of the activity. Most homes fall into a recurring service plan with six visits a year, and active infestations include intensive baiting and trapping. Call for a free quote tailored to your Denver home.
How do I get rid of mice in my Denver home?
The fastest way is a combination of interior trapping where activity is happening (attic, pantry, crawlspace) plus exterior tamper-resistant bait stations around the perimeter. Our Denver technicians inspect, treat, and return to monitor until the activity stops.
Are there rats in Denver, Colorado?
Yes. Norway rats and, increasingly, roof rats are active across the Denver metro — especially in alley-access neighborhoods like the Highlands, Park Hill, and central Denver where dumpsters, detached garages, and dense housing create constant rodent pressure.
Does OBEX treat both mice and rats?
Yes. OBEX is a full mouse and rat exterminator for Denver homes and businesses — house mice, deer mice, Norway rats, and roof rats. Each species gets a treatment plan tuned to how it actually moves through your property.
How fast can OBEX respond to a rodent problem in Denver?
Most active infestations in the Denver metro are scheduled within the same week. Call (720) 784-5571 or request a quote and we'll confirm the soonest available visit for your address.
Is OBEX rodent control safe for pets and kids?
Yes. Exterior bait is placed in tamper-resistant, locked stations and interior work uses targeted snap traps and product placements out of reach of pets and children. Your Denver technician walks you through every placement before leaving.
