Pest Management

The Pest Management shop provides a variety of pest mitigation services to all DPS managed facilities, utilizing an integrated pest management program (IPM). The Pest Management shop will address issues with mice, wasps, bees, roaches, and many other pests by using the most modern techniques available, minimizing the use of pesticides and rodenticides.

The Pest Management shop will provide training to onsite staff on how to identify and correct areas to minimize pests coming into building(s).

Pest requests are prioritized based on the impact to student and staff’s health and/or safety; these pests include stinging and biting insects, as well as rodents in food handling areas. The Pest Management shop can assist with removal of some dead animals found on the grounds, however, any requests for removal of dogs, cats or other pests to include live wild animals such as foxes, coyotes, etc., need to be directed to the City and County of Denver by calling Denver 311.
