Humane Wildlife Removal for Colorado's Front Range

Discreet, humane removal of raccoons and opossums, handled with care for your property and the animal. We remove what got in, then close the way it came.

Why It Matters

A sound at night deserves a calm response.

A sound in the chimney at night is rarely the wind. On the Front Range, it is most often a raccoon or an opossum that has found its way into a flue or vent, and in spring, it is usually a mother with young. We handle these calls the way we handle every job: calmly, humanely, and completely.

Because we are chimney specialists first, we do more than remove the animal. We find the entry point, secure it, clean what was left behind, and cap the chimney so the problem does not return.

What We Do

What we remove.

Raccoon Control

Raccoons treat an uncapped flue like a hollow tree, especially mothers seeking a safe place to den in spring. We remove them with humane live methods, check for young, and seal the way back in.

Opossum Control

Opossums shelter in low vents, crawl spaces, and chimneys. We remove them carefully, with the same attention to the animal and to your home, then close the gaps that let them in.

How We Work

Our humane process.

Inspect & Confirm

We identify the animal, locate the entry point, and check for young before anything else. Spring calls are almost always a mother with a litter.

Humane Removal

Live methods only. When young are present, we secure the adult first, then remove the litter by hand. No smoke, no fire, no harm.

Cap & Exclude

A missing or damaged cap is almost always how they got in. We install a stainless steel cap and seal the entry point so it does not happen again.

Clean & Restore

We clear nesting debris and droppings, sanitize the area, and inspect for damage, leaving the flue clean and safe to use.

Why It Matters

Humane by method, thorough by habit.

Wildlife in a chimney is a delicate situation, especially in spring when young are involved. The wrong response, lighting a fire or trying to force the animal out, is both dangerous and inhumane; a panicked animal can end up inside your home. We work in line with Colorado Parks and Wildlife rules, use live methods, and treat the animal and your property with equal care.

Because the entry point is usually the chimney itself, the permanent fix is the work we already do best.
