In Colorado, particularly in the Denver metro area encompassing Aurora and Thornton, raccoons are a growing concern. The state's varied climate, with cold winters and warm summers, influences when and where raccoons become most active around human dwellings. Residents in these areas often encounter raccoons seeking refuge from the elements or foraging for food.
Colorado's housing stock, especially in suburbs like Aurora and Thornton, features a mix of older homes with accessible basements and newer constructions with attics and soffits that raccoons can exploit. The seasonal shifts drive their behavior; they become more visible seeking warmth in winter and food in spring and summer. Understanding these patterns is key to effective control. Our approach begins with a detailed inspection to pinpoint how raccoons are entering your property. We then execute a safe and humane removal process, followed by installing barriers to ensure they cannot return. This systematic method protects your home.

The 3-3-3 rule for rehoming dogs is a guideline for dogs adjusting to a new environment, focusing on decompression and building trust over time. While beneficial for pet adoptions, this rule does not apply to the removal of wildlife like raccoons in Colorado. Our services are focused on the safe and immediate resolution of wildlife intrusions.
In Aurora, raccoons commonly infiltrate attics, chimneys, and crawl spaces of homes. They can cause damage to insulation, electrical wiring, and ductwork.
