Colorado’s stunning landscapes, ranging from mountains and plains to dense forests, are home to a variety of wildlife, some of which may find their way into your home. At Critter Control, we’re dedicated to ensuring your peace of mind throughout the entire wildlife removal process. From detailed inspections and humane removals to full home exclusion and repairs, we provide a comprehensive solution to keep raccoons, rodents, and other unwelcome pests out of your home for good.
We understand the importance of restoring your sense of security. Our holistic approach ensures effective, ethical animal removal and long-term prevention through meticulous inspections and full-home exclusion, protecting your home for the future.
Fort Collins supports a healthy population of raccoons. The pests will eat just about anything and tend to stay nearby after they find a source of food. Limiting access to trash and pet food is usually effective in excluding them. However, once a raccoon moves into a home or shed, removal becomes much harder.
During the inspection, we determine the severity of the raccoon infestation. We look for physical evidence like footprints in or around the home, stains from raccoon feces and urine. On the exterior of the house, we look for damage like scratches on boards, broken vents and screens, ripped apart shingles, destroyed soffits, and every possible entry point.
Wildlife specialists look for signs such as chewing on, in, or around your home, small openings leading to the attic or the crawl space, droppings, and debris like nuts or nesting material. Beams, wires, pipes, and insulation may all show signs of damage from squirrels.
In Fort Collins, mice commonly invade homes during fall and winter as temperatures drop and food becomes scarce outdoors. Attics, crawlspaces, garages, basements, utility rooms, and storage areas are common infestation sites.
Regular monitoring allows technicians to determine where mice are most active and prioritize treatment efforts.
Exclusion is the cornerstone of mouse IPM because mice can enter through openings as small as a dime.
Rodenticides are considered only when necessary and are used in conjunction with exclusion and trapping rather than as a stand-alone solution. Because mice reproduce rapidly and can cause damage to insulation, stored items, and electrical wiring, continued monitoring is essential for long-term success.
We perform a full interior and exterior inspection and search for signs such as rub marks, guano, a strong scent of ammonia, and small openings. The most common sign is the accumulation of guano (feces).
