Dinosaur is a small Moffat County community in the remote canyon country of northwestern Colorado, near the entrance to Dinosaur National Monument. The area’s proximity to the Green and Yampa River canyons, surrounding pinon-juniper terrain, and the monument’s riparian corridors all contribute to raccoon activity in the region, making Dinosaur raccoon removal a genuine need for local property owners. Colorado Wildlife Specialists provides professional, humane raccoon removal throughout Dinosaur and the surrounding Moffat County area.
Why Raccoons Are a Problem in Dinosaur
The Green and Yampa Rivers near Dinosaur support raccoon populations that move readily between canyon riparian zones and the community’s residential and commercial properties. In an area with limited development, raccoons quickly learn to exploit the food and shelter that homes and outbuildings provide. Properties near drainages or on the edges of the monument boundary are especially susceptible to wildlife intrusion.
Raccoon infestations cause significant damage to Dinosaur properties. They destroy insulation, compromise structural materials, and chew on electrical wiring, creating costly repairs and fire risk. Raccoon droppings carry Baylisascaris roundworm, posing health hazards to residents. Raccoons are a known rabies vector in Colorado, and nighttime noise from raccoons inside structures is a persistent disruption for Dinosaur homeowners.

Raccoon Prevention and Exclusion in Dinosaur
After raccoon removal, Colorado Wildlife Specialists seals all entry points and reinforces vulnerable areas using materials suited to the high desert climate of northwestern Colorado. We address roof vents, soffits, chimney openings, and foundation gaps thoroughly to prevent future raccoon access.
We also provide Dinosaur property owners with recommendations on reducing raccoon attractants, including securing trash and food storage and managing the property features that bring raccoons close to structures. These measures, combined with solid exclusion work, provide lasting protection.
