Pure Home Pest connects Littleton homeowners with independent providers, serving the town a gold rush engineer built around an irrigation ditch instead of a mine.
Call (844) 924-1337Richard Sullivan Little, a civil engineer from New Hampshire, arrived during the 1859 Pike's Peak gold rush, but instead of panning for gold, he put his real training to use surveying land south of Denver for irrigation. Little organized the ditch company that dug a 17-mile channel carrying South Platte water onto plains that had been too dry to farm, and in 1867 he and his neighbors built the Rough and Ready Flour Mill, which anchored the local economy for decades afterward. In 1872 the Littles filed a plat subdividing their property into a village, and by 1890 the town had grown to 245 residents, who voted that year to incorporate. Littleton grew sharply again through the 1950s and 1960s around the Martin Marietta facilities that produced the Titan rocket, an aerospace boom that filled in new neighborhoods well beyond the ditch-fed farmland the town's founders had originally irrigated. Property owners in Littleton's oldest blocks, still shaped by more than a century of irrigation habits, deal with a different baseline than residents of the aerospace-era subdivisions built decades later on drier ground.
Littleton's own irrigation legacy, dating back to the ditch its founder organized to water dry farmland, is a reminder that Colorado pest control rules cover far more than just what shows up at the door. Colorado regulates pest control through the Department of Agriculture's pesticide licensing program rather than a dedicated structural pest control board. Anyone applying pesticides for compensation must hold a Commercial Applicator license in the specific category matching the work performed, and must pass a proctored exam for every category in which they plan to work. Licenses are valid for three years and expire on the applicator's birthdate. Nuisance wildlife removal sits outside this system almost entirely: Colorado Parks and Wildlife does not require a permit to remove most nuisance wildlife from a property, since state law leaves that determination to the landowner, though professional operators typically still carry CPW authorization along with liability insurance.
