If you have a problem with wildlife in your Golden home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Colorado wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Colorado and Golden, and I recommend the following:

Blue Tick Pest & Wildlife Control, Inc.
Cell Phone: 720-449-3910

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Jefferson County Animal Services: (303) 271-5070

Blue Tick Pest & Wildlife Control, Inc. specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Colorado also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Blue Tick Pest & Wildlife Control, Inc. is specially trained in bat removal.

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

• Fully Colorado and Jefferson County licensed and insured
• Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
• Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste



Blue Tick Pest & Wildlife Control, Inc. is a full-service Golden wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Golden pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Blue Tick Pest & Wildlife Control, Inc. performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

Golden wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Colorado to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Colorado law. We offer Golden raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Blue Tick Pest & Wildlife Control, Inc.. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Golden squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Golden exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Golden rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Colorado is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Golden pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Golden bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Golden trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Golden wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Blue Tick Pest & Wildlife Control, Inc. does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Blue Tick Pest & Wildlife Control, Inc.. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Blue Tick Pest & Wildlife Control, Inc. also provides dead animal removal in Golden. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Golden snake removal - most of the snakes in Colorado are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Golden. And remember, we are a private business, not Jefferson County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (303) 271-5070. Jefferson County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Golden Wildlife Tip #1:


Keeping squirrels out of the house

Squirrels are extremely consistent and irritating animals, dissimilar to other pets that are kept inside the house; they want to make room for themselves in your attic. The loft is the best place for them to develop their infants. This is the fundamental reason you ought to consider keeping them out of your home and must be your priority since when they're settled and they are giving birth; their number could be no less than under twenty for each colony.

Close the gaps

One of the best approaches to take care of the issue is to trap them in a squirrel measured pen which you can buy or make it yourself. Once you've obstructed every one of the openings aside from one gap, you need to set the trap close to that gap. Squirrels are exceptionally dynamic at an early hour in the day and during the evening, to ensure that you check the trap as much as you can. You will positively get a squirrel and after you have to retry the steps with a great deal of persistence, be that as it may, it works, at any rate. This is the likely most empathetic arrangement of all.

Inspect entry holes

You need to review the passage openings for the storage room now and again, and you might be amazed at the size of these gaps, yet squirrels can crush through a modest gap about the measure of a human clench hand. Likewise, it is prudent to check the inside of the attic and to hunt down a light radiating through openings that can demonstrate a passage point.

Assess the rooftop

Every inch of the rooftop is to be inspected to search for any damages that it might have, in any event once per two weeks. If you see something, fix all the damages without delay. Close the vents with some substantial steel sheets, which will fend off squirrels as this is one of their primary passage focuses. Trimming the trees and removing the branches will unquestionably encourage you and debilitate squirrels from bouncing straight into your home. Make a point to keep your yard or garden clean since squirrels are pulled in to junk and conceivable food scraps.

Using fox urine

You should realize that the traps inside the storage room are pointless and that squirrel will never get captured into it, so don't try to place them inside. One of the intriguing ways that you could attempt is to purchase fox pee in a hunting store and splash it into the section opening. This may work since squirrels fear foxes, all things considered, they are down in the natural food chain order and they ought to be frightened off.



Golden Wildlife Tip #2:


Colorado Wildlife Information:

Colorado State bird: Lark bunting
State mammal: Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep
State reptile: Western painted turtle
State fish: Greenback cutthroat trout
State insect: Colorado hairstreak butterfly

Colorado is a state of both mountains and grasslands. The state holds the vast majority of the Southern Rocky Mountains, but it also holds the edge of the Great Plains. This variety of landscapes gives Colorado a variety of animals as well.

The Rocky Mountains, which vary in height and climbing difficulty, are the home to animals that can handle navigating the rocky slopes to seek the cooler summer temperatures at the mountain peaks. Elk are one of the most popular animals in the Rockies, and these large grazers have a complex lifestyle of mud baths, mating, and mountain-to-valley migrations. They are often seen at the tops of peaks, grazing along the grassy slopes. During the summer, elk spend all of their time above the valleys. Many of the Rocky mountain peaks have shallow ponds at the summit. These water holes are usually surrounded by thousands of animal prints.

Other mountain-lovers include moose, black bears, grizzly bears, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and mountain lions. These animals will keep their distances from the Great Plains, leaving that region to creatures more suited to living out in the open.

The Great Plains supports its own conglomerate of animals like prairie dogs and pocket gophers. These little critters can be particularly troublesome for farmers looking to work fields where the animals' tunnel systems are complex. Large grassland dwellers include bison, pronghorn deer, white-tailed deer, and ground squirrels.

As usual, the same host of problem animals is present in Colorado. Residents dealing with nuisance animals are often battling with raccoons, snakes, opossums, armadillos, skunks, rats, and a variety of mice.

Semi-aquatic animals enjoy the state, too, and beavers and otters are common in the many mountain streams that cut through to the valleys. Beavers and otters are usually only problematic on private land in this large state, causing flooding or modifying the landscape too much.
