I Got A Guy: The Pest Control Team We Trust

Amanda Campbell • October 22, 2026

Working in both real estate and property management in Central Park, it’s crucial to have a solid roster of home professionals we can call on for our clients. Over many years of working in the neighborhood, we’ve built up a solid list of trusted contractors! And here at Focus Real Estate, we have a series where we share them with you—the folks we work with over and over again. (And in case you wondered—we don’t get any financial benefit from these recommendations. We also can’t be responsible for the service quality, pricing, or outcomes, even though these contractors have been great for us.) 


Around here, people love nature and wildlife. But that doesn’t mean you want wasps, ants, or black widows (which are common around the Front Range!) actually inside or around your house. Whenever I have clients who have spotted pests around their home, or if I have a buyer about to move into a house where we spotted a spiderweb or wasp nest, I send them to Garcia Pest Management. 


James Garcia, the owner, founded the company about seven years ago after working for twenty years for a big pest management company. We love that he offers really competitive pricing and that he doesn’t make you lock into an extensive contract: You can book him for a one-time service or something more recurring. They’ll do an inspection, tell you pricing up front, and take care of whatever issues they see reliably and thoroughly. And if you realize there were a few straggling bugs, with their 30-day guarantee, they’ll come back and retreat until the issue is resolved. 


As James told us, “Now is a perfect time to spray—as it gets cooler at night, things get closer to the house.” To learn more about Garcia Pest Management, check out my video with James and his son and co-worker, Frank Garcia, to see them in action! And visit their website or give them a call at 303-888-7449.


Check out our other I Got A Guy or Gal posts to build your own roster! We give you the inside scoop on the window cleaners, HVAC, roofer, and house painters we’ve used and trust.

Hi neighbors! Before we get into the real estate update, a few notes on what's happening around the neighborhood. We recently added a new post to our "I Got a Guy (or Gal)" series, where we share the vendors and contractors we trust and use ourselves. This latest one features Luis Estrella with Emerald Window Cleaning, our go-to for window cleaning and screen repair. Professional window cleaning is one of the best-value things a homeowner can do, whether you're prepping to sell or just want your house to feel brighter. Luis and his team are thorough, give an accurate written quote upfront, and will flag any screens that need repair while they're there. You can text photos of your home to (720) 295-7030 and they'll usually respond within minutes, and there's a price calculator on their site specific to Central Park.
