Hantavirus Alert — Four Corners Region

The Four Corners region has one of the highest documented rates of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome in the United States. The primary carrier is the deer mouse — one of the most common rodents in Southwest Colorado. Exposure occurs through contact with droppings, urine, or nesting material, often during cleanup of infested crawlspaces, attics, or outbuildings. If you have a rodent problem, do not disturb nesting areas without proper PPE. Call a licensed professional for safe removal and sanitation.

The Wildman Standard

A Quality Mark,
Not Just a Name

"The Durango Wildman" isn't a nickname — it's a standard of work. Every job this business takes on is held to the same bar: find the actual problem, fix it completely, document it properly, and stand behind the result. That's what separates a local operator who cares about their community from a national franchise running a monthly subscription on a problem they never intend to permanently solve.

You Talk to the Person Doing the Work

When you call 970-694-8280, you reach Jered — the owner, licensed applicator, and the person who shows up. No dispatch center. No rotating crew. No handoff between who sold the job and who does it.

Fix It Once — Don't Manage It Forever

National franchise pest control is built on recurring contracts. Their business model requires your problem to continue. Ours doesn't. We solve it the right way and stand behind the work — one payment, one job done right.

We Know La Plata County

Pack rats, deer mice, black widows, carpenter ants, yellow jackets — we know which species hit at which elevations, which seasons drive intrusions, and what Durango's construction patterns leave exposed. Generic national protocols don't cover any of that.

Fully Documented. Fully Accountable.

Every job is CDA-compliant — products applied, locations treated, EPA registration numbers on record. Protects you for insurance claims, real estate transactions, and any regulatory requirement down the road.

Meet the Operator

Local Operator.
Real Accountability.

I'm Jered. I've spent most of my life working in wildlife and home services across Colorado, Arizona, and the Four Corners. I started this business in Durango in 2021 because I saw a market full of national franchise companies charging monthly fees to manage problems they were never trying to permanently fix.

When you call me, you get me — the licensed applicator, the inspector, and the person doing your job. I live here. I know La Plata County's pest pressure, its construction patterns, and its terrain. I go into the crawlspaces other companies won't, find the entry points others miss, and fix the problem the right way the first time.

My reputation is built in this community. That matters more to me than any franchise agreement or corporate guarantee ever could.

Why It Matters Who You Call

Local Means Actually Better

The national companies blanketing Durango with ads don't know your terrain, your construction, or your pests. We do.

You Talk to the Person Doing the Work

When you call 970-694-8280, you get Jered — the owner, the licensed applicator, and the person who shows up. No dispatch center, no rotating crew, no handoff. The person who inspects your home is the person who fixes it.

We Know La Plata County's Pests

Pack rats, deer mice, black widows, carpenter ants, yellow jackets, box elder bugs — we know which species are active at which elevations, which seasons drive intrusions, and what local construction leaves exposed. Generic national protocols don't cover any of that.

No Contracts. No Monthly Trap.

National franchise pest control is built on recurring service agreements. The business model requires your problem to continue. Ours doesn't. We solve the problem once, stand behind the work, and that's the end of it.

We Go Where Others Won't

Tight crawlspaces, steep rooflines, buried utility penetrations, stem walls requiring excavation. We built this business on getting into the spaces other companies skip — because that's where the actual problems live.

One Operator for Everything

Pest control, rodent exclusion, wildlife removal, termite inspection. Most Durango homeowners dealing with one issue have at least one more they haven't found yet. One call, one licensed operator, one clear solution.

Documented and Accountable

Every job is fully CDA-compliant — products applied, locations treated, EPA registration numbers on record. Protects you for insurance claims, real estate transactions, and any regulatory requirement.
