Raccoon removal for Montrose, where irrigation ditches fed by the Gunnison Tunnel give raccoons a travel route into neighborhoods.
Call (844) 924-1337Raccoons across Colorado concentrate along riparian corridors that give them a travel route into residential neighborhoods, and the Uncompahgre Valley's irrigation ditches, fed by the Gunnison Tunnel since 1909, function much the same way. Properties near those ditches see a more defined raccoon travel route than ones built farther from the irrigated network.
Once raccoons move off a ditch bank, older buildings near Montrose's original townsite core, with chimneys, damaged soffits, or crawl space access, become the likely next stop. A raccoon that's found one reliable entry point is likely to keep returning to it. Call (844) 924-1337 to discuss pest control help in Montrose and check service availability.

Live trapping and relocation, followed by sealing the entry point, is the general approach for raccoons denning in or around a home. Because raccoons can be defensive and carry health risks, this is usually safer left to a professional with proper equipment.
Securing trash cans and pet food can reduce yard visits, but recurring activity or a suspected den warrants a professional assessment rather than an attempt to handle the animal.
It depends on your local animal control's policies and the specific situation. Municipal programs may focus on strays or immediate public-safety concerns; check the local service scope and discuss property-specific raccoon activity with PestGuardians. Worth checking what your local animal control actually covers before assuming either way.
Pricing depends on your location, the removal work involved, and whether entry-point repairs are needed. Call PestGuardians to discuss the work needed in Montrose and request pricing for your situation.
