If you have an animal problem and need assistance, there are several free animal control resources in Denver, Colorado. The first thing you can try is your local Denver County animal services, or the free Denver animal control services by calling 720-337-1800.

For wildlife-specifice issues, try the Colorado Wildlife Commission at 303-291-7220. They do free wildlife control in Denver and all of Colorado.

There's no business that provides free pest control in Denver that will remove wild animals that I know of, like free bat control or free rat removal. Sometimes, for a case of animals in an attic, or wildlife problems on private property, you need to hire and pay for wildlife removal, and if so, I recommend A All Animal Control at 720-259-3806.

Denver wildlife issues:

A paunch effort to remove a pest animal must be avoided, if possible. There is a possibility that it will stop the pest critter somewhat, but more than likely the effort to remove a pest animal will be only a crippling one. The animal may still travel for miles. Should the nuisance wildlife control professional recover the animal after a paunch effort to remove a pest animal, he will find that the meat has acquired a bad taste. In fact, the sooner he can recover a wounded Denver animal, the better. When the pest critter presents a straightaway running effort to remove a pest animal the animal control tool can be placed in the anal region and drive fatally into the spine or chest. This type of effort to remove a pest animal happens frequently, especially when the pest critter is running.

Wounded Nuisance wildlife - A well-placed animal control tool simplifies everything. Every precaution should be used to strike the pest critter in the vitals and drop it then and there. As this is not always possible, and the pest critter fails to fall within sight of the nuisance wildlife control professional, it is incumbent upon him to follow up the effort to remove a pest animal. Many times, a conflict animal will continue to run smoothly even after taking a direct hit. It may speed along until it reaches heavy cover, and then begin to show signs of distress. After suffering a mortal wound the Denver pest critter has run out of sight before dropping. This points to examination of the neighborhood after an effort to remove a pest animal even if the pest critter simply has vanished. With snow on the ground the neighborhood will be easy to follow. But even without this factor it pays to head in after the animal and look for patches of hair which may have been effort to remove a pest animal off, or splashes of blood where the pest critter has traveled. Often the nuisance wildlife control professional can tell immediately if the pest critter has suffered a hit.

Most often the animal will betray its condition in a change of pace. If the Denver pest critter is running and speeds up when the effort to remove a pest animal is fired, there is every possibility that the animal control tool has made contact. But a fatal effort to remove a pest animal will not always drop it then and there. A urban wild animal has tremendous vitality and energy for its size. It may accelerate its pace, or slow down upon being wounded. Whatever the reaction, neighborhooding is indicated. If the wound is vital you may find the pest critter in the first patch of neighborhood that it has entered. However, you may have much farther to go. There was a time when the nuisance wildlife control professional was cautioned to wait an hour or so for the pest critter to lie down and stiffen up. This procedure might be satisfactory in a little-traped area, but in those places where many other nimrods are patrolling the cover it is far better to head in on the Denver neighborhood at once.
