Larimer County's northern towns, Wellington included, are only now falling inside the brown marmorated stink bug's growing Colorado range.
Call (844) 924-1337Each fall, this insect looks for the warmest wall it can find, then squeezes through any gap to spend winter indoors, a habit residents east of the Mississippi have dealt with for well over ten years now. Wellington, tucked up against the Wyoming line at Larimer County's northern tip, only recently found itself inside the bug's range as it keeps pushing north through Colorado.
Because that spread hasn't leveled off, Wellington residents are facing an unfamiliar pest rather than a settled annual event. Call (844) 924-1337 to discuss pest control help in Wellington and check service availability.
