La Junta is a Otero County community in the Arkansas River valley of southeastern Colorado. The area’s the Arkansas River corridor, surrounding irrigated farmland, and the area’s extensive agricultural operations create conditions where raccoon activity is a genuine concern, making La Junta raccoon removal an important service for local homeowners and property owners. Colorado Wildlife Specialists provides professional, humane raccoon removal throughout La Junta and the surrounding Otero County area.
Why Raccoons Are a Problem in La Junta
La Junta sits along the Arkansas River at the heart of Otero County’s agricultural region. The river’s riparian zone provides raccoons with excellent habitat, and surrounding melon fields, alfalfa operations, and feedlots supply abundant food year-round. La Junta’s established neighborhoods and agricultural properties are among the most raccoon-active areas on the southeastern plains.
Raccoon infestations at La Junta properties cause serious damage including destroyed insulation, compromised structural materials, and chewed wiring that creates fire hazards and costly repairs. Raccoon droppings carry Baylisascaris roundworm, a health risk for residents and pets. Raccoons are a known rabies vector in Colorado, and their disruptive nighttime activity inside structures is a persistent problem for La Junta homeowners.
