Florence is a historic Fremont County city located along the Arkansas River between Canon City and Pueblo, known for its antique district and Arkansas River corridor. The river valley, surrounding irrigated land, and mature residential neighborhoods make Florence raccoon removal a common need for local homeowners. Raccoons thrive along the Arkansas River and move freely into Florence neighborhoods, targeting attics, crawl spaces, and trash storage areas. Colorado Wildlife Specialists provides professional, humane raccoon removal throughout Florence and the surrounding Fremont County area.
Why Raccoons Are a Problem in Florence
The Arkansas River running through Florence provides raccoons with reliable water and dense riparian cover that supports active populations year-round. Florence’s older neighborhoods with mature trees and historic homes create ideal raccoon habitat close to residential areas. Raccoons move easily between the river corridor and Florence neighborhoods, exploiting any available food source and entry point they can find.
Raccoon infestations in Florence homes cause serious damage. They destroy attic insulation, compromise roofing and structural materials, and chew electrical wiring, leading to expensive repairs and fire risk. Raccoon droppings carry Baylisascaris roundworm and pose health hazards for residents and pets. Raccoons are a known rabies vector in Colorado, and their disruptive nighttime activity inside structures is a common problem for Florence homeowners.
