Las Animas is a Bent County community in the Arkansas River valley of southeastern Colorado. The area’s the Arkansas River and Purgatoire River confluence, surrounding irrigated farmland, and the area’s riparian habitat create conditions where raccoon activity is common, making Las Animas raccoon removal a genuine need for local homeowners and property owners. Colorado Wildlife Specialists provides professional, humane raccoon removal throughout Las Animas and the surrounding Bent County area.

Why Raccoons Are a Problem in Las Animas

Las Animas sits at the confluence of the Arkansas and Purgatoire Rivers, giving raccoons exceptional dual-river riparian habitat and movement corridors throughout the Bent County area. This river junction supports large raccoon populations that move freely into Las Animas neighborhoods and agricultural properties year-round.

Raccoon infestations at Las Animas properties cause serious damage including destroyed insulation, compromised structural materials, and chewed wiring that creates fire hazards. Raccoon droppings carry Baylisascaris roundworm, a health risk for residents, families, and pets. Raccoons are a known rabies vector in Colorado, and their disruptive nighttime activity inside structures is a persistent issue for Las Animas homeowners.
