We are Colorado's top experts in wildlife and raccoon control. We are not a typical Colorado Springs raccoon control or pest control company. We don't treat wild animals like insects, because they are not! You can't just use poison to get rid of them. You also can't just set a few traps on the ground and call it good. Each situation is unique. And remember, if you have raccoons living in your house, it is almost certainly a female with a litter of young inside. These juveniles must be removed by hand, or they will starve to death and die. And after they are gone, the entry holes into the house must be sealed with professional repairs. Unlike most Colorado Springs pest control, we focus on complete and permanent solutions, by following these steps:

• Inspect the entire house, ground to roof, and the attic
• Seal shut all entry areas with professional grade steel
• If in attic, we remove the baby raccoons by hand
• Technical and human raccoon trapping appropriate to situation
• When necessary, we clean raccoon droppings and replace insulation

Colorado Springs Raccoon Control Tip: How Would A Wildlife Rehabilitator Help An Injured Or Orphaned Raccoon?
One of the situations that is becoming increasingly common for people across much of the United States is situations where they come across injured or orphaned raccoons, and then their natural compassion makes them want to try and help these animals in need. The specialists who can help in this type of situation are the wildlife rehabilitators, as they will have the experience to know what they can do to help, and how they can support animals to survive. It isn't something that can be done in every case, especially with injured or extremely malnourished animals, but ultimately they do try and help each animal they can. 

Why Is It Important To Get An Injured Or Orphaned Raccoon To A Rehabilitator?
The key difference for the work that a rehabilitator will carry out is that they will have the equipment and the knowledge about how to help that most members of the public will not. For example, many baby raccoons that are orphaned and are then picked up by compassionate people who are trying to help are given foods such as cow's milk, which can prove fatal for a baby raccoon. By using their knowledge of raccoons, they can tailor their response to the needs of the animal, and develop a treatment and rehabilitation plan for them that should hopefully help them to recover or grow so they can then be released.

How They Will Help An Injured Raccoon
The first key step that a rehabilitator will carry out if they are presented with an injured raccoon is that they will need to assess an injury to see how serious it is, and whether the animal has a realistic chance of recovery. The importance of this is that rehabilitators will often have limited space and time to deal with animals in their care, and they often have to prioritize those with a good chance of recovery compared to animals with more serious injuries. Ultimately their role with an injured raccoon is to ensure the injury is treated appropriately, and they will then manage the animal's recovery so that it can then be released back into the wild.

How They Will Help Baby Raccoons
The role of the rehabilitator with orphaned raccoons is quite different, as these animals need more intensive support to grow and to thrive, as they will not have their mother to guide them through into being juveniles and adults. The first stage with younger baby raccoons is to ensure they are fed regularly and appropriately, so that they grow into becoming juveniles that will start to explore the world around them. The rehabilitator will then have to develop games and tasks for the raccoons to help them learn the survival skills the mother would have taught her kits, to enable them to survive when they are released back into the real world.

How To Transport A Raccoon
It is naturally in many people's nature to feel compassion and sympathy when they see an animal such as a raccoon that has been injured, or where they find a nest of orphaned baby raccoons, but it is still important to deal with this appropriately. You should always minimize any direct contact with injured or baby raccoons, and always wear thick gloves and protective clothing when moving or getting close to these animals. For transport, line a box with a soft blanket or towels, and consider putting a small heating pad beneath the blanket. When taking them to the rehabilitator, make sure they are in a sturdy box with high sides that they won't be able to get out of, and where possible place this on the back of a truck rather than transporting this in a car.
