Colorado info: Our state is known for the majestic Rocky Mountains, which cover the western half of the state. The word 'Colorado' comes from the spanish word for 'red colored'. Our state population is about 4.6 million people, more than half of which live in the Denver area. The territory was added to the United States by the 1803 Louisiana Purchase and the 1848 Mexican Cession. The Colorado Gold Rush in the 1850s brought settlers to the Denver area. Colorado became a state in 1876. The state bird is the Lark Bunting, the state animal: Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, state fish: Greenback cutthroat trout, state insect: Colorado Hairstreak Butterfly, state flower: Rocky Mountain Columbine, and state tree: Colorado Spruce or Blue Spruce.
If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local Colorado county animal services or SPCA for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, dangerous animal complaints, pet adoption, bite reports, deceased pets, lost pets, and other issues. We have those numbers listed here for your convenience. If your city is not on our map, consult your local blue pages or search for 'Animal Control' or 'SPCA' in your town.

Colorado is home to most of the Southern Rocky Mountains but also shares a portion of the state with the Great Plains. This gives the region a wide variety of both flat grassland and cooler mountain terrain. The Rocky Mountains are just as described; mountains covered in loose, mammoth rocks. Some are tall enough to be capped with snow the majority of the year, and many are within reasonable climbing efforts. Interestingly enough, many of the mountains have shallow ponds at the very top, a source of water for the creatures not wishing the venture too far into the valleys.
Large animals thrive in this region. The state has herds of elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer, and mountain goats. Moose and grizzly bears are also seen, though they are not as common as the abovementioned animals. Other predators in the wild include mountain lions, black bears, coyotes, wolves, and bobcats.
While animals that love the mountains and the forests are in ready supply, critters that enjoy the grassy plains are also in abundance. Colorado has plenty of pocket gophers, prairie dogs, rabbits, ground squirrels, bison, badgers, and pronghorn deer.
Problematic critters in the state are also numerous. People find frequent issues with raccoons, skunks, opossums, beaver, otters, armadillos, and squirrels. There are numerous species of mice living in Colorado, another reason for homeowners to be diligent about home repair.
Beaver are so numerous in Colorado that the state often warns tourists and hunters about the dangers of “beaver fever”, also known as giardiasis, intestinal discomfort caused by the microscopic organism giardia. Drinking water from a mountain stream is not advisable until you reach a certain elevation because the issue is so common.
Unfortunately, Colorado is also the home to three invasive species currently giving environmental agencies a difficult time. Zebra and Quagga mussels have invaded lakes, and rusty crayfish are infiltrating streams. The New Zealand mudsnail is also non-native, and no one knows how it arrived in Colorado. The mudsnail moves easily between bodies of water by attaching to boats and then upsets the ecosystem by eating aquatic vegetation. The mollusks are tiny, and the Colorado Department of Fish and Game asks boaters and swimmers to clean their equipment thoroughly after use, allowing it to dry in the sun for 10 days between uses in different water beds.

Colorado Wildlife Invading Homes: A Growing Concern

Colorado's landscape and climate make it an ideal habitat for a wide variety of wildlife. Unfortunately, this can also lead to problems for homeowners as animals seek shelter and food in residential areas.

As the human population continues to expand, encounters with wildlife are becoming increasingly common across the United States. One of the most frustrating and sometimes dangerous issues for homeowners is when animals find their way inside.

One of the most common culprits is the raccoon. These intelligent and adaptable creatures are skilled at finding ways into homes through small openings in roofs, chimneys, or vents. Once inside, they can cause damage to insulation, wiring, and furniture.

The specific types of wildlife that may invade homes vary depending on the region, but some common culprits in Colorado include:
  • Opossums: These nocturnal marsupials can squeeze through surprisingly small holes.
  • Squirrels: Both ground squirrels and tree squirrels can cause damage to homes and gardens.
  • Bats: Bats may enter through small gaps in the roof or walls, potentially carrying diseases.
  • Rodents: Rats and mice can squeeze through tiny openings and contaminate food.

To prevent wildlife from entering your home, consider the following:
  • Seal up entry points: Inspect your home for any gaps or cracks in the exterior and seal them with caulk or metal flashing.
  • Install screens: Use screens on windows and vents to deter flying animals.
  • Remove attractants: Keep garbage, pet food, and bird feeders away from your home to avoid attracting wildlife.

If you have a wildlife infestation, it's important to contact a professional wildlife removal service. They have the experience and equipment to safely and humanely remove animals from your home and prevent future infestations.
By taking these steps, you can help protect your home and property from wildlife damage while also ensuring the safety of both humans and animals
