Wyoming's cold winters and dry air keep some pests away, but the state still has its share. Rodents, ticks and mosquitoes carry the most serious health risks, and some summers bring swarms of moths into homes.
Common pests in Wyoming
The Wyoming Department of Health and University of Wyoming Extension describe these pests as common concerns for Wyoming homes.
- Deer mice. The deer mouse spreads Sin Nombre virus, the most common hantavirus in the US. The health department urges care when opening cabins, sheds, garages and other spaces closed over winter. See companies that handle rodents near you.
- Rocky Mountain wood ticks. These ticks spread Colorado tick fever, a viral illness with no medicine to treat it and no vaccine. Check yourself, your children and your pets after time outdoors.
- Mosquitoes. The health department says West Nile virus has been found in every county in Wyoming. Use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and drain standing water around the house.
- Miller moths. These moths are the adult stage of the army cutworm. In some years they come into towns in large numbers. UW Extension suggests checking window screens and weather seals for cracks and turning off outdoor lights at night.
Who licenses pest control companies in Wyoming
The Wyoming Department of Agriculture certifies and licenses pesticide applicators through the Pesticide Program in its Technical Services Division. University of Wyoming Extension explains that anyone who applies pesticides as part of a business needs a commercial applicator license. The program page links to a searchable list of licensed private and commercial applicators.
How to check a company before you hire
- Ask for the commercial applicator license number of the technician who will treat your home.
- Look up the license through the search linked from the Pesticide Program page, or contact the program to confirm it is current.
- Ask which pest was found and how the treatment works.
- Get the treatment plan and any warranty in writing.
- Read reviews from other Wyoming customers, and write a review once the work is done.
