Living in the Denver metro area means sharing our beautiful landscape with abundant wildlife. From the foothills of Jefferson County to the tree-lined neighborhoods of South Denver, homeowners regularly encounter raccoons, squirrels, and rodents seeking shelter in attics, crawl spaces, and wall voids. While these animals are a natural part of Colorado's ecosystem, they become problematic when they take up residence in your home.
If you've experienced a wildlife intrusion, you might think the solution is simple: remove the animals and move on. However, this approach only addresses half the problem. Without proper professional wildlife exclusion in Denver, you're essentially putting a band-aid on a wound that will inevitably reopen.
Many Denver homeowners are frustrated to discover that even after paying for wildlife removal, animals return within weeks or months. This isn't coincidence—it's animal behavior. Wildlife have excellent spatial memory and strong territorial instincts. Raccoons, particularly common in areas like Lakewood, Littleton, and throughout the South Denver suburbs, will remember productive shelter locations and return seasonally.
Squirrels, abundant in Denver's mature neighborhoods from Cherry Hills to Arvada, are notorious for their persistence. They can squeeze through openings as small as 1.5 inches and have powerful teeth capable of enlarging existing gaps. Without professional sealing, they'll simply create new entry points or exploit the same vulnerabilities that allowed initial access.
Even small rodents pose ongoing threats. Mice and rats can fit through openings the size of a dime and quarter respectively, making thorough exclusion critical for long-term success. These animals don't just cause structural damage—they pose serious health risks through contamination and disease transmission.
The ongoing damage compounds over time. Electrical wire chewing creates fire hazards, insulation destruction reduces energy efficiency, and accumulated waste creates unsanitary conditions. For Denver homeowners, where heating costs are significant during our cold winters, damaged insulation represents both comfort and financial concerns.
Professional wildlife exclusion goes far beyond simply patching obvious holes. It's a systematic, comprehensive process of identifying, repairing, and permanently blocking all potential and actual entry points on your property. This science-based approach considers animal behavior, seasonal patterns, and the specific challenges posed by Denver's climate and architecture.
Unlike temporary fixes or DIY attempts, professional wildlife exclusion in Denver requires understanding how different species access structures, what materials can withstand both weather extremes and animal pressure, and how to address vulnerabilities that aren't immediately obvious to untrained eyes.
Our proven four-step process ensures your Denver home remains wildlife-free for years to come, backed by our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
Every effective exclusion begins with a thorough property assessment. Our certified technicians examine your entire structure, from foundation to roofline, identifying both active entry points and potential vulnerabilities. We inspect common problem areas including roof-to-wall junctions, gable vents, soffit gaps, chimney caps, foundation cracks, and crawl space openings.
In Denver's older neighborhoods, like those in South Denver and the West Denver corridor, homes often have architectural features that create natural wildlife access points. We assess these unique characteristics alongside standard vulnerabilities, creating a comprehensive map of your property's risk factors.
Our inspection process also evaluates existing damage, helping us understand the full scope of restoration needs and preventing future structural issues.
Before any exclusion work begins, we safely and humanely remove any animals currently residing in your home. Our removal methods are species-specific and comply with Colorado wildlife regulations. Whether you're dealing with a family of raccoons in your attic or squirrels in your walls, we use proven techniques that minimize stress to animals while ensuring complete removal.
For rodent infestations, we employ integrated approaches that address both individual animals and population pressures. We also remove nesting materials, debris, and waste to eliminate attractants and prepare areas for proper sealing.
This is where professional wildlife exclusion truly differs from amateur attempts. We use commercial-grade materials specifically designed to withstand animal pressure and Denver's challenging weather conditions. Heavy-gauge galvanized mesh, steel flashing, concrete repair compounds, and professional-grade sealants form the foundation of our exclusion work.
Our installation techniques consider expansion and contraction from temperature changes, wind pressure, and the specific behavioral patterns of different wildlife species. A raccoon-proof seal requires different materials and methods than squirrel-proofing, and our technicians are trained in species-specific exclusion techniques.
We pay special attention to common Denver problem areas like roof-wall intersections affected by snow loads, vents exposed to chinook winds, and foundation areas subject to freeze-thaw cycles.
Wildlife intrusions often leave behind significant damage requiring professional restoration. Our comprehensive services include attic cleanup, insulation replacement, odor elimination, and structural repairs. This step ensures your home is not only protected from future intrusions but restored to proper condition.
In Denver's climate, proper insulation is crucial for energy efficiency. We replace damaged insulation with high-quality materials, ensuring your home maintains optimal comfort while reducing heating and cooling costs.
Investing in professional wildlife exclusion provides benefits that extend far beyond simply keeping animals out. You'll prevent costly recurring damage, protect your property value, and ensure a healthier living environment for your family.
Consider the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is truly protected. No more middle-of-the-night scratching sounds, no more concerns about electrical fires from chewed wires, and no more expensive repeat service calls. Professional exclusion is an investment that pays dividends through reduced maintenance costs and preserved property value.
For Denver homeowners, this protection is particularly valuable given our diverse wildlife population and seasonal behavior patterns. From spring nesting season through winter shelter-seeking, your home faces year-round pressure from various species.
Our commitment to quality means using materials and techniques designed to last. We stand behind our work because we know professional wildlife exclusion, when done correctly, provides permanent solutions.
