Why Hire a Pro To Solve Your Wildlife Problem?

After looking at this picture of a do-it-yourselfer, the answer may be obvious!

By hiring a professional you will be saving money. Trying to resolve a wildlife problem will find you getting a lot of advice and much of that advice will be bad advice. Bad advice costs you money. How? By buying things that will not work and the damage increasing because the animal has been there longer.

A wildlife professional will have the proper equipment to do the job quickly and efficiently.
By having it done properly the first time, you wont have to pay for it a second time.

Denver, CO Prairie Dog Problems

Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver and Jefferson counties in Colorado are no strangers to Prairie Dogs.

Prairie Dogs can create real problems for homeowners and landowners alike. They burrow into lawns and landscapes and create holes that can be unsafe for people.

Prairie Dogs can also transmit plague through the fleas that they normally carry in their fur.

Pets should be kept away from Prairie Dog towns to prevent the transmission of plague from fleas dispersing from the Prairie Dog to the pet.

These animals can be controlled through treatment programs and fencing to keep them contained and off of your property.

Your professionals in the Denver Metro area are A All Animal Control of Denver
If the Prarie Dogs are getting out of control on your property, call the Pros to resolve it!

What Happened To My Yard!

Does this look like your lawn? I hope not. Moles can make your lawn look like it went through the shredder!

When you see large mounds such as this, it means the moles are deep underground due to lack of rain. Moles travel with the nightcrawlers (worms). When the rain brings them to the surface the moles will also come to feed at the surface. But when the soil begins to dry out the moles will once again go deep after their favorite source of food.

Trapping is the best way to rid your yard of these pests. By trapping them you visually see the results of your control program at work.

A maintenance program is recommended as other moles will return from nearby properties. If you live near the woods you stand a better chance of getting moles in your lawn as moles are generally woodland creatures.

Once the moles are removed you can enjoy a beautiful lawn once again.

Armadillo Troubles


Armadillos can wreak havoc on your landscaping. This picture shows how they have dug up the mulch beds around the trees. On this same property, they dug a large hole next to the foundation in an attempt to create a den site.

Armadillos are primarily an insect eater and must dig up a lot of insects to feed their voracious appetite. When their is more than one of these hanging around your house, they can make your lawn and landscaping look like it was run through a shredder!
Control of the Armadillos is normally done through a controlled trapping program. In many areas of the country they can be captured and relocated.

I would have to say, of all of the wildlife that I have came in contact with, this has to be the most unique thing I have ever seen!

Bats in The Belfry!














2-11-07 - Little Brown bats are one of the common bats that take up residence in buildings. These little guys here chose to live in an attic and entered through louvered vents.

The picture at the left shows an immature bat and if you look closely, you will see at the top a bat bug. This is a parasitic bug that lives on the bat itself. When you have bats in your home, often the bat bugs will occasionally move inside the home too. Bat bugs will bite you much like the bed bugs that are running rampant today.

When the young flightless pup was found in this home, we decided to wait until he could fly before they were evicted.

As you can see the bats on the right are enjoying themselves in this “cluster”. It is not uncommon to find bats in this configuration during the summer. This was a very minor bat infestation. When it is hundreds of them hanging on your louvers, that is when you have a major problem!

After these bats were evicted, the area was cleaned and sealed to prevent further entry.

Bats carry rabies and their droppings cause disease. They should not be allowed to live in a dwelling for these reasons alone. A professional will control this situation and return your home to a safe environment.
