<strong>GV</strong> WELCOMES<br />
K-9 STRYKER<br />
A new officer has joined the Greenwood Village Police<br />
Department and this recruit is working (and playing)<br />
hard to prove he is top dog of the<br />
department. Greenwood Village welcomes<br />
K-9 Officer Stryker! Stryker is a 13-<br />
month old Belgian Malenois who arrived<br />
from North Carolina — the same place<br />
from which K-9 TAG and the late K-9<br />
Magnum joined us. Once he gets settled<br />
with his new handler, Officer Jeff<br />
Mulqueen, Stryker will begin his law<br />
enforcement training in Narcotic<br />
Detection and Patrol to include learning<br />
how to effectively search for suspects. In<br />
addition, Stryker will also be trained to<br />
work with the Police Department’s<br />
Emergency Response Team (ERT, also<br />
known as SWAT). Lots of work and<br />
obedience training will be required before Stryker is<br />
ready to take big bites out of crime in our community.<br />
Once he has<br />
graduated from<br />
K-9 field<br />
training, citizens<br />
will be able to<br />

Arapahoe County Sheriff and Commissioners, Tri-County Health<br />
Department Executive Director and Greenwood Village Mayor<br />
remembered those who have died from drug overdoses on International<br />
Overdose Awareness Day Aug. 31, 20<strong>17</strong>.<br />
STAND IN SOLIDARITY FOR<br />
OVERDOSE AWARENESS<br />
I have mentioned this before in my report and wanted to urge<br />
everyone to take a stance and support our state’s search of<br />
innovative options to save lives, increase prevention efforts, and<br />
remember those we have lost to accidental overdoses. August 31<br />
was Overdose Awareness Day and I, as mayor, acknowledged this<br />
very important day to support prevention and remembrance.<br />
In 2016, approximately 50,000 people in the United States died<br />
from fatal overdose, 912 of those deaths occurred in Colorado. For<br />
the first time, overdose is now the leading cause death of Americans<br />
under the age of 50. We are losing people that can be saved,<br />
especially our youth. The National Council on Alcoholism and<br />
Drug Dependence states one in four people report knowing<br />
someone who has been addicted to prescription painkillers. Drug<br />
use does not discriminate by age, race, socioeconomic status or<br />
education level.<br />
Prescription drug misuse and abuse is a serious problem both in<br />
Colorado and the Tri-County Health jurisdiction (Adams,<br />
Arapahoe, and Douglas counties). Each year, overdose deaths from<br />
opioid painkillers alone number around 300 in Colorado and about<br />
a third occur in our three counties.<br />
Such deaths are now more common<br />
than alcohol-related traffic fatalities. As<br />
recently as 2010-2011, Colorado ranked<br />
No. 2 in the nation among young adults<br />
ages 12-24 for self-admitted nonmedical<br />
use of prescription painkillers. Enough<br />
opioid painkillers are dispensed by<br />
pharmacies in the United States to<br />
supply each American citizen with<br />
enough painkilling pills to take one<br />
every four hours, around the clock, for a<br />
month.<br />

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT<br />
PARTNERSHIP BRIEFING<br />
BY CONGRESSMAN COFFMAN<br />
In August, Congressman Mike Coffman gave a congressional<br />
briefing, hosted by Denver South Economic Development<br />
Corporation (DSEDC). I joined the Mayors of Centennial<br />
and Lone Tree, and Commissioners from Arapahoe and<br />
Douglas counties to hear the latest news and updates from<br />
Congress and learn of congressional actions that could<br />
impact our communities, and our local governments.<br />

FIRST PITCH TO<br />
CELEBRATE RENOVATION<br />
OF FIELD 8<br />
Once said Joe DiMaggio, “All pitchers<br />
are born pitchers.” Well, that may not<br />
always be true, nevertheless, it’s a great<br />
quote from an inductee of the<br />
National Baseball Hall of Fame. In<br />
August, I had the privilege of cutting<br />
the ribbon for the grand opening<br />
celebration of the renovation of Field 8<br />
at Village Greens Park in the Village in<br />
partnership with Cherry Creek High<br />
School. Renovations to the field<br />
included work to bring it up to 5A<br />
CHSAA standards for a girls softball<br />
field, including new enclosed dugouts,<br />
perimeter fencing, concession stand,<br />
press box, flagpole and batting cage.<br />
Subsequently, on that same evening, I<br />
was chosen to conduct the first pitch<br />
for the first home game for Cherry<br />
Creek High School softball. My<br />
pitching skills reaffirmed that my<br />
focus around the terms “passion” and<br />
“purpose” should be focused on<br />
cutting the ribbon at ribbon cutting<br />
events not serving as a pitcher for a<br />
softball game. Overall, it was a fun<br />
experience and I won’t be quitting my<br />
position as mayor to further discover<br />
my skills as a pitcher. <strong>GV</strong><br />

GOVERNMENT<br />
TAKE note<br />
LEAF REMOVAL<br />
As we enter into the fall season,<br />
keeping Greenwood Village clean will<br />
continue to be a priority. To assist with<br />
these activities, we ask that you do not<br />
place loose leaves, yard debris or trash<br />
in the street as our sweepers are not<br />
equipped to pick up large piles of<br />
leaves or debris. Moreover, this debris<br />
can be wind blown or inappropriately<br />
washed into the storm systems and<br />
waterways of the Village, which<br />
impacts water quality. Instead, please<br />
look to other options to dispose of this<br />
debris.<br />
• Arrange for your lawn care provider<br />
to remove the leaves when<br />
performing your yard service.<br />
Request that they refrain from<br />
blowing leaves into the street.<br />
• Bag your leaves in compostable<br />
paper yard waste bags and place<br />
them out with your weekly trash<br />
pick up. These bags of leaves will<br />
end up in the landfill and paper is<br />
preferred over plastic which will<br />
WHY CAN’T I SWEEP MY LEAVES OR<br />
GRASS CLIPPINGS INTO THE STREET?<br />
never break down and is bad for<br />
the environment no matter what its<br />
destination. Republic Services has<br />
no limit as to how many bags of<br />
leaves they will pick up, however,<br />
keep in mind if some bags are left<br />
at the curb they will be returning<br />
once they have unloaded their<br />
truck.<br />
Do not rake or blow leaves, grass or other trash into the street. The street sweeping<br />
equipment is not able to handle branches or large quantities of leaves and grass and<br />
can spread these materials around the street. Leaves and grass are “natural” but when<br />
it rains, these materials on streets and sidewalks can wash into storm drains and<br />
eventually lead to Village waterways<br />
such as streams and ponds. These<br />
materials provide nutrients which over<br />
fertilize the water and encourage harmful<br />
aquatic plants and algae to thrive, which<br />
has a lasting negative impact on water<br />
quality, local ecology and recreational<br />
use of our waterways and is a form of<br />
stormwater pollution. Just like we would<br />
ask you to not throw trash in the street,<br />
it is the same for leaves.<br />
Ace Hardware Cherry Hills<br />
Marketplace at 5910 S. University<br />
Boulevard and Orchard Road has<br />
teamed up with the City of<br />
Greenwood Village to provide<br />
residents with FREE compostable<br />
paper yard waste bags. The above<br />
coupon provides a free 5-pack, while<br />
supplies last. For more information,<br />
please contact Ace Hardware Cherry<br />
Hills Marketplace at 720-974-1080.<br />
• Recycle your leaves at Village<br />
Greens Park. Leaves can be dropped<br />
off loose or in bags between<br />
October 2 and November 3, 20<strong>17</strong>,<br />
in the dedicated area of the north<br />
parking lot any day of the week.<br />
This option is environmentally<br />
friendly with staff spreading and<br />
disking into the soil where native<br />
grass cannot be established adding<br />
nutrients, helping with moisture<br />
and also providing a place for soil<br />
bore microorganisms to live. It does<br />
not impact the landfill and it is cost<br />
effective. No bags are needed and<br />
you do not have to wait until your<br />
trash day to dispose of them.<br />

CONSERVE WATER AND SAVE MONEY ON YOUR WATER BILLS<br />
Greenwood Village is partnering once again with Denver Water as part of the Water Saver Partnership to educate residents<br />
on ways to save water and money on their water bills while maintaining the beauty found in Village neighborhoods.<br />
FALL LANDSCAPE<br />
RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
Fall is a great time to prepare your landscape for a healthy<br />
spring to come. Below are some tips from Green Industries of<br />
Colorado:<br />
• Aerate turf to eliminate compaction and improve the<br />
turf’s ability to take up moisture, nutrients and air.<br />
• Fall is the best time of year to fertilize bluegrass lawns to<br />
promote a healthier turf before winter, a healthier root<br />
The boxed area is the drip line, or critical root zone.<br />
system and turf that greens up earlier in the spring<br />
without excessive top growth. Fertilize with nitrogen<br />
sometime during late September to early November.<br />
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper<br />
fertilization.<br />
• October through March: During prolonged dry periods,<br />
water trees once or twice per month, using 10 gallons of<br />
water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. Water only<br />
when the temperature is above 40 degrees and there is no<br />
snow on the ground. Visit the following link to determine<br />
how long to water trees during these winter months:<br />

ON IMMUNIZATIONS<br />
TO STAY HEALTHY<br />
As children and teens head back to school, Tri-<br />
County Health Department (TCHD)<br />
encourages parents to ensure that your child is<br />
up-to-date on all their immunizations, including<br />
the HPV (human papilloma virus) vaccine.<br />
According to the American Academy of<br />
Pediatrics, adolescents are less likely than<br />
younger children to receive all the recommended<br />
vaccines. This often happens because teens don’t<br />
visit the doctor as frequently as young children,<br />
parents may not know certain vaccines are<br />
needed or families may not know all the benefits<br />
of newer immunizations, like the HPV vaccine.<br />
Every year, more than 31,500 women and men<br />
are affected by a cancer caused by HPV. That’s a<br />
new case about every 20 minutes. The HPV<br />
vaccine is an effective way to prevent some of<br />
these cancers, and studies of the vaccine show no<br />
serious safety concerns, according to the Centers<br />
for Disease Control and Prevention.<br />
The CDC recommends 80 percent of teens receive the<br />
vaccine to keep the entire population healthier. Colorado’s<br />
rates are far below that level at less than 60 percent of<br />
adolescents vaccinated against HPV. That means our teens<br />
may be at a higher risk.<br />
In addition to the HPV vaccine, teens and preteens are often<br />
due for two doses of vaccines to prevent meningitis, a dose of<br />
TDAP (tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis) and an<br />
annual influenza vaccine. If they have missed any of their<br />
earlier vaccines, such as hepatitis B; hepatitis A; measles,<br />
mumps and rubella; polio or varicella (chickenpox), these<br />
immunizations may be recommended as well.<br />
Immunization appointments are available at your local public<br />
health clinic. To make your appointment today at Tri-County<br />
Health Department, please call 303-451-0123. For more<br />

FEATURED<br />
‘LAKE OF FIRE’<br />
This summer the<br />

Cultural<br />
Arts<br />
Program<br />
partnered<br />
with the<br />
Arapahoe<br />
Libraries to<br />
present the first<br />
ever Village<br />
Read. The idea<br />
encourages adults<br />
of all ages to read<br />
one book and<br />
participate in<br />
thought-provoking<br />
discussions and activities derived from the<br />
chosen book. The goals of the program are<br />
to encourage leisure reading, create<br />
community conversations and bring the<br />
community together through literature.<br />
For our first year, the book Lake of Fire by<br />
Colorado author Mark Stevens was chosen<br />
as this year’s Village Read book. Set in<br />
Colorado, the story follows hunting guide<br />
Allison Coil as she tries to find out what<br />
happened to a body found after a wildfire<br />
ravages the Colorado Flat Tops.<br />
Activities included a book discussion with<br />
Mayor Ron Rakowsky, several guest<br />
speakers and lectures on topics related to<br />
the book including foraging in Colorado<br />
and fighting wildfires and writing<br />
workshops conducted by the author.<br />
Attendees enjoyed the opportunity to meet<br />
the author and expand their knowledge<br />
from the many guest speakers.<br />
The program concluded with a concert in<br />
Curtis Park with special guests Let Them<br />
Roar, who hail from where our book takes<br />
place, and The Cody Sisters. Over 250<br />
attendees enjoyed music, free ice cream<br />
food trucks and a tequila tasting, the main<br />
character’s favorite drink.<br />
The Village Read is expected to continue<br />
next summer. Stayed tuned to hear more<br />

HIGH LINE<br />
CANAL TRAIL<br />
USERS<br />
SHORT DETOUR<br />
PLANNED FOR<br />
SIX MONTHS<br />
Due to the Harrison<br />
Oaks development<br />
construction consisting<br />
of 11 single-family<br />
residential lots in the<br />
rural area of Greenwood<br />
Village, there will be a<br />
short detour for High<br />
Line Canal trail users so<br />
that a new pedestrian<br />
and a vehicular bridge<br />
can be safely installed<br />
over the High Line<br />
Canal. The detour was<br />
implemented in late<br />
August and may be in<br />
place for up to six<br />
months.<br />
In order to construct this<br />
necessary infrastructure,<br />
approximately 40 trees will need to be<br />
remove along the canal, many as small<br />
as six inches in diameter. Based on the<br />
2016 inventory, there are over 23,000<br />
trees greater than six inches along the<br />
length of the 71-mile High Line Canal<br />
corridor, with nearly 2,500 of these<br />
located in the section of canal that<br />
runs through Greenwood Village.<br />
Harrison Oaks was required to<br />
compensate Denver Water, the owner<br />
of the High Line Canal, for the loss of<br />
these trees. Denver Water is investing<br />
back into the overall care and<br />
management of the trees and 71-mile<br />
corridor by:<br />
• Providing continued support for<br />
the Community Vision Plan, of<br />
which Greenwood Village and all<br />
other jurisdictions along the canal<br />
are signatories of.<br />
• Using recently gathered data to<br />
more effectively and proactively<br />
manage the existing trees along the<br />
canal corridor. The increased level<br />
of management will begin in the<br />
fall of 20<strong>17</strong>/winter of 2018.<br />
• Working with the High Line Canal<br />
Conservancy and other<br />
jurisdictional partners, such as<br />
Greenwood Village, to initiate a<br />
comprehensive tree care master<br />
plan and develop landscape<br />
guidelines that reflect the<br />
Community Vision Plan.<br />
• Ensuring that any new tree<br />
plantings happen at a time, and in<br />
a way that will promote the longterm<br />
success and alignment with<br />
the future of the canal corridor.<br />

NEW PLAN<br />
FOR TREE CARE<br />
ALONG THE<br />
HIGH LINE CANAL<br />
The High Line Canal Conservancy,<br />
Denver Water and leadership from<br />
each of the jurisdictions along the<br />
Canal’s reach (all part of the High<br />
Line Canal Working Group) are<br />
working together to take an important<br />
step to improve the Canal landscape:<br />
initiating a comprehensive tree care<br />
plan for all 71 miles. The tree care<br />
plan prioritizes safety for users and<br />
long-term health of the trees. This tree<br />
care plan will be followed by the<br />
creation of landscape guidelines and<br />
implementation plans, including<br />
drought tolerant plantings and other<br />
landscape enhancements.<br />
During the summer of 2016, the High<br />
Line Canal Working Group completed<br />
a comprehensive tree inventory<br />
project. This project identified,<br />
mapped and assessed all trees with<br />
diameters greater than six inches along<br />
the High Line Canal corridor. Data<br />
was collected on 23,677 trees<br />
throughout the High Line Canal<br />
corridor, which has served as a<br />
valuable tool in assessing the health of<br />
the tree canopy.<br />
Conclusions drawn from the tree<br />
inventory have led to immediate<br />
(Phase I) and long-term planning<br />
(Phase II) to preserve and enhance the<br />
Canal tree canopy. On the immediate<br />
side are the highest priority trees,<br />
which need to be removed or pruned<br />
due to dead and unsafe conditions.<br />
Certified tree service professionals<br />
assigned categories of tree conditions<br />
based on the severity of health of the<br />
trees, which includes recommended<br />
actions to improve tree health along<br />
the Canal. Visit highlinecanal.org/treeinventory<br />
for more details on the tree<br />
data.<br />
The High Line Canal Conservancy is<br />
working closely with Denver Water<br />
and the jurisdictions to:<br />
• Establish and monitor standards for<br />
removal and pruning that fulfill the<br />
Community Vision Plan for the<br />
High Line Canal.<br />
• Coordinate the accounting of each<br />
jurisdiction’s investment in the<br />
project.<br />
• Leverage private funding to ensure<br />
long-term, high-quality care of the<br />
entire tree canopy.<br />
• Manage the tree data gathered<br />
along the Canal corridor.<br />
Removal and pruning of trees as part<br />
of Phase I are expected to begin in fall<br />
20<strong>17</strong>/winter 2018. There may be some<br />
disruptions to the trail during this<br />
time.<br />

ONUS iV HYDRATION<br />
5425 Landmark Place • Open 10 a.m. Daily<br />
720-4<strong>17</strong>-9590 • www.onusiv.com<br />
Have you been exhausted, run down,<br />
or depleted of energy? Affected by jetlag,<br />
altitude sickness, or perhaps a<br />
hangover? Or have you experienced<br />
muscle cramping or felt the onset of a<br />
minor cold? If you answered yes to any<br />
one or more of these conditions, then<br />
the common practice of IV<br />
(Intravenous) infusion therapy may be<br />
just what your body needs!<br />
With the July opening of Onus iV in<br />
The Landmark in Greenwood Village,<br />
a licensed staff of medical professionals<br />
can now administer a variety of IV<br />
“cocktails” to help your body combat<br />
and prevent these ailments and many<br />
more. IV hydration therapy (also<br />
known as infusion therapy) is a<br />
common, low-risk procedure used by<br />
doctors, nurses and paramedics to<br />
rehydrate the body intravascularly,<br />
bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. In<br />
short, it’s the fastest, most efficient<br />
delivery method to distribute vital<br />
fluids and nutrients throughout your<br />
body.<br />
Three avid mountain bikers (Kristy<br />
Anderson, Chaz Faulhaber and Dr.<br />
Benjamin Wilks) founded Onus iV<br />
Hydration in 2015, and from their first<br />
location in Denver have helped over a<br />
thousand individuals counteract<br />
conditions that can impede their active<br />
lifestyles. The Village community was<br />
selected for their newest location<br />
because of its active lifestyle and quality<br />
of life. Dr. Wilks, co-owner and<br />
founder of Onus IV is a current Board<br />
certified emergency room physician,<br />
practicing at Longmont United<br />
Hospital, in addition to being on staff<br />
for C.U. Health at their satellite clinics.<br />
He has rigorous requirements for his<br />
staff in their credentials and<br />
background.<br />
“Our licensed team of physicians,<br />
nurses and paramedics provide IV<br />
services in a relaxing “non-medical”<br />
environment,” said co-owner Kristy<br />
Anderson. “Throughout Denver and<br />
the Colorado Front Range, we offer<br />
customized services for athletes,<br />
business travelers, and those seeking<br />
overall health and wellness. This<br />
incredible health tool yields immediate<br />
results because you are receiving a<br />
better absorption of vitamins,”<br />
exclaimed Kristy.<br />
Upon entering their office, you will<br />
embark upon a truly unique<br />
experience. Wooden paneling and<br />
native Colorado materials accent the<br />
walls and décor. The lighting and<br />
accoutrement of the décor invoke<br />
recreation, relaxation, and renewal. IV<br />
units are hung from climbing ropes<br />
and timber wooden panels surround<br />
you. Their treatment space and VIP<br />
room feature a comfortable lounge<br />
experience with reclining chairs, Netflix<br />
or X Box options, and fuzzy blankets<br />
and organic tea complement your<br />
relaxation. The staff will quickly obtain<br />
a medical history and have you<br />
complete a questionnaire upon your<br />
arrival to assess what hydration therapy<br />
best fits your individual needs. They<br />
will obtain your blood pressure, temp,<br />
pulse, oxygen, and vitals.<br />
The Onus iV procedure delivers the<br />
full effect of every vitamin and<br />
compound your body needs. Most<br />
infusion rates need between 30-45<br />
minutes, however every body is<br />
different. Because they are bypassing<br />
your GI tract, the effects are typically<br />
felt within the hour of treatment. Some<br />
of their treatments are designed for<br />
long-term benefits (cold and flu<br />

OH RATS!<br />
EASY TIPS TO<br />
PROTECT YOUR HOME<br />
AND PROPERTY<br />
Rodents such as mice and rats can find<br />
refuge in your home whether in the<br />
kitchen, attic, basement, or dining<br />
room through the smallest opening or<br />
crack, and require very little space to<br />
travel inside. Rodents seek shelter<br />
indoors, especially during the cooler<br />
fall and winter months, and once<br />
inside can cause more than just an<br />
unpleasant infestation. Rodents put<br />
homes at risk for electrical fires by<br />
gnawing through wires and they<br />
frequently serve as vectors, carrying<br />
bacteria, such as salmonella, on their<br />
bodies and contaminating food<br />
sources, kitchen surfaces and<br />
equipment.<br />
Once rodents get comfortable, they’re<br />
difficult to relocate. Results won’t<br />
happen overnight but given time and<br />
consistent efforts, reductions are<br />
possible. Fortunately, there are many<br />
ways homeowners can proactively<br />
prevent and get rid of rodent<br />
infestations in their homes.<br />
ELIMINATE FOOD,<br />
WATER, AND HARBORAGE<br />
FROM YOUR HOME<br />
Step 1: Remove Sources Of Food<br />
And Water<br />
Mice and rats are opportunistic feeders<br />
that will eat any food discarded by<br />
humans. Eliminating their food and<br />
water source is critical to controlling<br />
them.<br />
Indoors<br />
• Clean up spilled food in cupboards<br />
and on floors.<br />
• Keep counters and food<br />
preparation areas clear of food at<br />
night.<br />
• Keep all food packages tightly<br />
sealed.<br />
Outdoors<br />
• Pick up trash and discarded food.<br />
• Keep tightly sealed lids on garbage<br />
cans.<br />
• Store pet and bird food in sealed<br />
containers.<br />
• Prevent flooding from sprinkler<br />
heads.<br />
• Keep all foliage trimmed and neat.<br />
• Overgrown bushes are prime<br />
habitat for rats.<br />
Step 2: Eliminate Rodent Habitats<br />
In And Around Your Home<br />
Indoors<br />
• Clear out boxes and other clutter in<br />
basements and storage areas.<br />
• Store materials off the floors on<br />
shelves, wherever possible.<br />
Outdoors<br />
• Remove clutter and debris.<br />
• Keep grass, shrubs and other<br />
vegetation around your home<br />
trimmed.<br />
• Trim overhanging trees that create<br />
shadowy areas where rodents feel<br />
protected.<br />
Step 3: Prevent Rodents From<br />
Entering Cracks And Crevices.<br />
Identify areas that need to be sealed or<br />
blocked. It’s important to remember<br />
that rats can fit through an opening<br />
around the size of a quarter and mice<br />
can squeeze through an area smaller<br />
than a dime, so be sure to conduct a<br />
thorough inspection of your home —<br />
inside and out.<br />
• Repair holes in the foundation of<br />
your home, garage or other affected<br />
buildings as well as interior walls.<br />
• Seal cracks and holes on the outside<br />
of the home, including areas where<br />
utilities and pipes enter the home,<br />
using caulk, steel wool or a<br />
combination of both.<br />
• Seal any openings over one quarter<br />
inch — particularly around doors<br />
and windows.<br />
• Screen vents and openings to<br />
chimneys.<br />
• Install self-closing devices on<br />
frequently used doors.<br />
• Install vinyl or rubber seals under<br />
garage doors to eliminate gaps.<br />
• Weather-strip gaps in doorways<br />
leading into buildings.<br />
• Make sure that the areas around<br />
pipes, drains and vents are tightly<br />
sealed.<br />
• Cap chimneys and keep them in<br />
good condition.<br />
• Keep attics, basements and crawl<br />
spaces well ventilated and dry.<br />
• Replace loose mortar and weather<br />
stripping around the basement<br />
foundation and windows.<br />
• Eliminate all moisture sites,<br />
including leaking pipes and clogged<br />
drains that provide the perfect<br />
breeding site for pests.<br />
• Inspect items such as boxes, grocery<br />
bags and other packages brought<br />
into the home.<br />
• Store firewood at least 20 feet away<br />
from the house and keep shrubbery<br />
trimmed and cut back from the<br />
house.<br />
As you go about plugging, sealing, and<br />
repairing your home, you can use a<br />
variety of rodent-proofing materials to<br />
complete the job, including:<br />
• Steel Wool<br />
• Hardware Cloth<br />
• Perforated Metal<br />
• Galvanized Sheet Metal<br />
• Cement Mortar<br />
If you suspect a pest infestation in<br />
your home, contact a licensed pest<br />
professional to inspect and treat the<br />
pest problem. If you spot evidence of a<br />
rodent infestation, do not hesitate to<br />
act to handle the problem. Rodents are<br />
known to reproduce quickly, and a<br />
small problem can turn into a big issue<br />
overnight if left untreated. <strong>GV</strong><br />
