Fountain is a growing El Paso County city located just south of Colorado Springs along Fountain Creek, one of the most significant wildlife corridors on the southern Front Range. Fountain raccoon removal is a frequent need for local homeowners, as raccoons use the creek corridor to move between open land and residential neighborhoods throughout the city. Fountain’s expanding suburban neighborhoods, proximity to Fort Carson, and the creek’s riparian habitat all contribute to consistent raccoon activity. Colorado Wildlife Specialists provides professional, humane raccoon removal throughout Fountain and the surrounding El Paso County area.
Why Raccoons Are a Problem in Fountain
Fountain Creek runs through the heart of the city, providing raccoons with a direct wildlife corridor connecting open agricultural land to the south with Fountain’s established and developing neighborhoods. The creek’s riparian vegetation supplies raccoons with cover and food, while the surrounding residential areas offer the attics, crawl spaces, and food sources they seek. New subdivisions bordering open land are especially vulnerable to raccoon intrusion as wildlife adapts to growing suburban development.
Raccoon infestations in Fountain homes cause significant damage. They destroy insulation, compromise roofing materials, and chew electrical wiring, creating fire hazards and repair costs. Raccoon droppings carry Baylisascaris roundworm, posing health risks for families and pets. Raccoons are a known rabies vector in Colorado, and their disruptive nighttime activity inside structures is a persistent problem for Fountain homeowners.
