Colorado City is a Pueblo County community located along Interstate 25 at the base of the Wet Mountains, south of Pueblo. The area’s mix of residential neighborhoods, proximity to Greenhorn Creek and other drainages, and the wooded terrain of the nearby Wet Mountain foothills make Colorado City raccoon removal a frequent need for local homeowners. Raccoons thrive in this transitional landscape between plains and mountains, and they regularly move into Colorado City homes and properties in search of food and shelter. Colorado Wildlife Specialists provides expert, humane raccoon removal throughout Colorado City and the surrounding Pueblo County area.
Why Raccoons Are a Problem in Colorado City
Colorado City sits at a transition zone where foothill terrain meets the Arkansas River drainage basin, giving raccoons natural movement corridors between wild and residential areas. Greenhorn Creek and other drainages nearby provide water and riparian habitat that supports raccoon populations year-round. Residential neighborhoods in Colorado City with mature trees, accessible trash, and pet food left outdoors are particularly attractive to these opportunistic animals.
When raccoons get into Colorado City homes, the damage is significant. They tear apart attic insulation, damage roofing materials, and chew on wiring in ways that create fire risk. Raccoon droppings carry Baylisascaris roundworm, a genuine health hazard for residents and pets. Raccoons are also a known rabies vector in Colorado, making prompt removal essential. The nighttime noise raccoons produce while moving through attic spaces and crawl areas is a constant source of disruption for Colorado City families.

Raccoon Prevention and Exclusion in Colorado City
Removing raccoons without sealing their entry points leaves a property vulnerable to reinfestation from the surrounding wildlife population. Colorado Wildlife Specialists performs comprehensive exclusion work on Colorado City homes, sealing roof vents, soffit gaps, chimney openings, and foundation perimeter vulnerabilities with durable materials suited to Colorado’s climate.
We also advise Colorado City homeowners on steps to reduce raccoon attractants around the property, including securing trash and recycling bins, bringing in pet food at night, removing fallen fruit, and trimming tree limbs that provide raccoons with easy roof access. These practical measures, paired with professional exclusion work, provide lasting protection against raccoon problems.
