Who exactly is getting into Lakewood homes?
Different neighborhoods, different intruders. Here’s the roster we deal with across Lakewood, by how often each drives a job:

TRUSTED PRODUCTS & PARTNERS
The Brands Behind Every Grizzly Install
We don’t install mystery material. Every Arvada project uses products from the industry’s most trusted manufacturers.
01THE PROBLEM
From Green Mountain to Your Attic Is One Downhill Trip.
Lakewood sits on an elevation gradient that wildlife commutes daily: open space above, creek greenbelts below, and sixty-year-old houses in between. Mature trees hand squirrels the roofline; brick veneer hands mice the weep holes. Trapping treats the visitor, exclusion retires the route.
AWeep holes: the brick-ranch backdoor
Every brick home in Morse Park and Belmar has weep holes, small, code-required gaps at the base of the veneer, and mice treat them as entrances. Stainless weep covers keep the drainage and lose the guests, a signature fix on Lakewood masonry.
BThe squirrel highway overhead
Sixty-year-old silver maples and ash canopies in the older grid put squirrels level with fascia boards and roof returns. Once they chew in, they rewire your attic on their schedule, gnawed cables are the fire marshal’s least favorite find.
CSixty years of gaps below the brick
Settled foundations, added AC lines, replaced water services, every decade opened new penetrations at grade. A dime-width gap is a mouse door, and the average mid-century Lakewood home carries a dozen of them.
DDeer mice are a health file, not a nuisance
Colorado deer mice can carry hantavirus, and their droppings in attic insulation are an aerosol risk if disturbed wrong. Cleanup belongs behind HEPA filtration and respirators, which is exactly how our crews run it.
02THE FIX
Close the Building. Clear the Evidence. Change the Bedding.
Pest control without building repair is a subscription. We sell the cancellation: exclusion, remediation, and deterrent insulation in one project.
03WHAT TO EXPECT
Sealed by Sundown, Certified on Paper.
The rhythm of a Lakewood rodent-proofing project:
Foundation, veneer, roofline, and utility penetrations get walked inch by inch; the attic confirms species and traffic age. You receive the photo map of every route.
Droppings, nests, and soiled insulation exit through HEPA-filtered equipment in sealed bags, deer-mouse protocols observed without exception.
Stainless weep covers on the brick, steel mesh at vents, flashing on chew points, and rodent-rated sealant at grade, materials teeth cannot beat.
Antimicrobial treatment erases the urine trails and pheromone signposts that would otherwise advertise the vacancy to next season\u2019s colony.
Borate-treated cellulose goes down to R-49+, then a last pass on every sealed point with the photo set added to your records.

"Squirrels had been in our Morse Park attic three autumns running, chewed through two repairs by other companies. Grizzly flashed the roof returns, covered every weep hole, and replaced the shredded insulation with TAP. Two winters now, total silence overhead."

05QUESTIONS
Rodent-Proofing in Lakewood, Answered Straight
Mice are the constant, citywide. Squirrels dominate in the mature-tree neighborhoods like Morse Park and Eiber, voles and field rodents pressure homes along Bear Creek and the gulches, and older rooflines occasionally draw raccoons. Each species gets its own exclusion hardware, which is why the inspection comes first.
They are the small drainage gaps built into brick veneer near the foundation, required by code and beloved by mice. Stainless-steel weep covers preserve the drainage while closing the entrance. On Lakewood\u2019s brick housing stock, covering them is often the highest-value exclusion step on the whole job.
It follows the route count, the species involved, cleanup volume, and how much insulation needs replacing with TAP. A tight newer home is a modest job; a brick ranch backing the greenbelt with three seasons of history is a bigger one, and still cheaper than the pest contract it replaces. Everything is itemized before work begins.
It can be. Colorado deer mice can carry hantavirus, and sweeping or vacuuming droppings with household equipment aerosolizes the risk. Our crews work behind HEPA filtration with respirators and antimicrobial treatment, the protocol public health agencies recommend for exactly this task.
Most Lakewood exclusions finish in a single day; adding cleanup and TAP insulation usually makes it two. Squirrel jobs sometimes need a one-way door phase for a few days first, we never seal an animal inside.
Then we come back under the guarantee, that is what it is for. In practice, wildlife-grade materials and a scent-neutralized attic remove both the access and the attraction, which is why re-entries at sealed points are rare enough for us to stand behind on paper.
