If you have a problem with wildlife in your Littleton home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Colorado wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Colorado and Littleton, and I recommend the following:

Wildlife Pest Control Denver

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Colorado and Arapahoe County licensed and insured

• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
• Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste



Wildlife Pest Control Denver is a full-service Littleton wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Littleton pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Wildlife Pest Control Denver performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

Littleton wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Colorado to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Colorado law. We offer Littleton raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Wildlife Pest Control Denver. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Littleton squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Littleton exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Littleton rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Colorado is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Littleton pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Littleton bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Littleton trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Littleton wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Wildlife Pest Control Denver does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Pest Control Denver. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Wildlife Pest Control Denver also provides dead animal removal in Littleton. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Littleton snake removal - most of the snakes in Colorado are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Littleton. And remember, we are a private business, not Arapahoe County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 303-794-1551. Arapahoe County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Littleton Wildlife Tip #1:
What are some humane ways to kill a skunk in a cage?

Your understanding about the law concerning animals should be varied enough. In some countries and states, the law requires that a trapped skunk must be terminated. Good thing, there are inhumane and humane ways to kill a skunk in a cage.

Several Ways to Kill It

There are humane methods to keep in mind if you want to kill it. Of course, it will be very challenging killing it without getting sprayed on.

Trapping

This is considered as one of the easiest and most effective ways of killing it. Of course, its goal is to remove it effectively. Right after that, you will be able to kill it. If you want, you could just have it relocated in another place.

Shooting

Shooting is actually perfect to be used in rural dwellings. This is because there are risks in shooting pets and people in suburban and urban areas. It will also be a good idea to shoot a skunk near the range. Be extra careful of the blood of the animal. This may already have been contaminated by the zoonotic infections and rabies. These diseases can be transferred to humans who have been exposed to the rabid animal's blood. And to make it sure that it is shot, the firearm must be targeted towards it perfectly.

Euthanization

This can be your best choice to control the number of skunks in your place. This is only about putting them to sleep. They will be injected with the chemical sodium pentobarbital. This way, they will not suffer from painful death. This injection will usually be administered by the use of an extendable and long syringe. This will help to avoid getting sprayed on in return.

Take Extra Caution

In killing a skunk in a cage, it is essential taking extra caution. This will help guarantee that the skunk is killed the humane way possible. If you want, you may call the wildlife control experts, animal shelter and veterinarian. They will be able to euthanize the skunk but you need to pay for the fee.

In addition to what you need to do, you must get an old and large towel. Always wear protective gear and gloves while you are handling carcasses, skunks and contaminated equipment. The disposal of carcasses should be completed in a plastic bag. Bury the carcasses into the ground.

Now, you have learned some of the humane ways to kill a skunk in a cage!

Littleton Wildlife Tip #2:


Colorado Wildlife Information:

Colorado State bird: Lark bunting
State mammal: Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep
State reptile: Western painted turtle
State fish: Greenback cutthroat trout
State insect: Colorado hairstreak butterfly

Colorado is a state of both mountains and grasslands. The state holds the vast majority of the Southern Rocky Mountains, but it also holds the edge of the Great Plains. This variety of landscapes gives Colorado a variety of animals as well.

The Rocky Mountains, which vary in height and climbing difficulty, are the home to animals that can handle navigating the rocky slopes to seek the cooler summer temperatures at the mountain peaks. Elk are one of the most popular animals in the Rockies, and these large grazers have a complex lifestyle of mud baths, mating, and mountain-to-valley migrations. They are often seen at the tops of peaks, grazing along the grassy slopes. During the summer, elk spend all of their time above the valleys. Many of the Rocky mountain peaks have shallow ponds at the summit. These water holes are usually surrounded by thousands of animal prints.

Other mountain-lovers include moose, black bears, grizzly bears, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and mountain lions. These animals will keep their distances from the Great Plains, leaving that region to creatures more suited to living out in the open.

The Great Plains supports its own conglomerate of animals like prairie dogs and pocket gophers. These little critters can be particularly troublesome for farmers looking to work fields where the animals' tunnel systems are complex. Large grassland dwellers include bison, pronghorn deer, white-tailed deer, and ground squirrels.

As usual, the same host of problem animals is present in Colorado. Residents dealing with nuisance animals are often battling with raccoons, snakes, opossums, armadillos, skunks, rats, and a variety of mice.

Semi-aquatic animals enjoy the state, too, and beavers and otters are common in the many mountain streams that cut through to the valleys. Beavers and otters are usually only problematic on private land in this large state, causing flooding or modifying the landscape too much.
