Fort Morgan is the Morgan County seat, located along the South Platte River on Colorado’s northeastern plains. The South Platte corridor, surrounding irrigated farmland, and Fort Morgan’s established residential neighborhoods make raccoon removal one of the most commonly requested wildlife services in the area. Raccoons thrive in the river valley and move freely between natural areas and Fort Morgan neighborhoods, targeting homes, crawl spaces, and trash storage areas throughout the city. Colorado Wildlife Specialists provides professional, humane raccoon removal throughout Fort Morgan and the surrounding Morgan County area.

Why Raccoons Are a Problem in Fort Morgan

The South Platte River running through Fort Morgan provides raccoons with exceptional habitat. The river’s riparian zone offers water, food, and dense cover, while the surrounding irrigated corn, beet, and alfalfa fields supply additional food sources. Raccoons move from the river corridor into Fort Morgan’s residential neighborhoods regularly, and the city’s mature neighborhoods with established trees provide additional denning opportunities.

Raccoon infestations in Fort Morgan homes cause significant damage. They tear apart insulation, compromise roofing materials, and gnaw on wiring, creating fire risk and substantial repair costs. Raccoon droppings carry Baylisascaris roundworm and pose health risks to residents, children, and pets. Raccoons are a known rabies vector in Colorado, and the disruptive nighttime noise they produce inside structures is a common problem for Fort Morgan families.
