Collbran is a small Mesa County community located on the Plateau Creek corridor at the base of the Grand Mesa, east of Grand Junction. The town’s proximity to Plateau Creek, surrounding orchards, and the forested slopes of the Grand Mesa create ideal raccoon habitat, making Collbran raccoon removal an important service for local homeowners and agricultural property owners. Colorado Wildlife Specialists provides professional, humane raccoon removal throughout Collbran and the surrounding Mesa County area.
Why Raccoons Are a Problem in Collbran
Collbran’s position along Plateau Creek gives raccoons a natural corridor connecting the Grand Mesa’s forested uplands with the agricultural valley below. Orchards, gardens, and irrigated fields in the area provide abundant food, and the creek offers reliable water year-round. Raccoons follow these resources directly into Collbran’s residential areas, where they target attics, crawl spaces, outbuildings, and trash storage areas.
Raccoon infestations at Collbran properties cause significant damage. Inside attics and crawl spaces, raccoons destroy insulation, compromise structural materials, and gnaw on electrical wiring, creating both costly repairs and fire risk. Raccoon droppings carry Baylisascaris roundworm, which poses serious health risks to people and animals. As a known rabies vector in Colorado, raccoons require professional handling. Noise from raccoons active inside structures at night is a persistent problem for Collbran residents.

Raccoon Prevention and Exclusion in Collbran
Permanently resolving a raccoon problem in Collbran requires sealing all entry points and reinforcing vulnerable areas before new animals can move in from the surrounding landscape.

We also provide Collbran property owners with recommendations for reducing the attractants that draw raccoons to their properties.
