Pure Home Pest connects Thornton homeowners with independent providers, serving a planned community that once had Jane Russell greeting visitors at its own open house.
Call (844) 924-1337Developer Sam Hoffman bought 400 acres of the Eppinger family farm north of Denver in 1952 to build an affordable community he branded the City of Planned Progress; the first three houses were finished in 1953 for Korean War veterans coming home to start over. For the model home open house, Hoffman hired actress Jane Russell to decorate the interiors and greet the crowds; her brothers worked for him, and Russell Boulevard still carries her name. Hoffman named the project for Dan Thornton, the sitting governor and a cattle breeder known for the Thornton Type Hereford, and the community ran every municipal service, recreation programs and free trash pickup included, off a single tax levy, a first for Adams County. Residents weren't sold on becoming their own city, though. A vote on incorporation failed on August 18, 1955, 548 in favor to 620 against, and it took until June 12, 1956, for Thornton to actually incorporate, with Oyer G. Leary as its first mayor. By the end of 1955 the community already held 5,500 people in over 1,200 homes, still unincorporated. That gap shows up in how each era's homes have aged.
A city that once ran its own trash pickup and recreation programs off a single tax levy still leaves pest control regulation to the state rather than Thornton itself. 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.
