Denver County Wildlife Removal Tip:

What To Do With A Rodent In Attics - Rodents in the attic are a common problem for many householders. Rodents are able to find their way into the smallest of spaces as they look for a warm, safe place to live and raise their families. Rodents are sociable creatures that prefer to live in colonies - if you have one rodent you will most certainly have a great number of them. The first rodent in a house is often a pregnant momma looking for a place to build a nest. If you hear the sound of scrabbling, scratching and running you may need to investigate further to confirm your suspicions.

In order to deal with rodents in the attic it is necessary to first do some detective work and find out exactly where and how they are gaining access to your home. This will mean getting up early in the morning and observing their comings and goings. By doing this, you should be able to determine the most popular entry and exit way the rodents are using, once you have done this you should place a trap at this entry - baited but not set. Leave the trap in place for a few days whilst you block all the other entryways, this will enable the rodents to get used to the trap. Once the other entry and exits have been blocked, you should then set the trap and begin to catch the rodents as they run in and out of your attic.

Denver County, CO Animal Control News Clip:

Colorado Boy Mauled by Family Pit Bulls

"It was horrific. I've never seen anything like that in my life," Brushell said. "The dog had him by the neck. It was like he was just a doll," said neighbor Jeff Witmer. The neighbors eventually got the dogs to back off and called for help. For more information, call the animal services of Denver, Colorado.

When police officers arrived and tried to secure the animals, the dogs became aggressive toward them, Aurora police said. An officer armed with a shotgun fired at one of the pit bulls, but missed. A second officer fired his gun striking one of the dogs in the mouth. That dog was taken to Alameda East Veterinary Hospital and subsequently euthanized. Denver County animal control says it will continue to help with domestic animal issues, but not with Colorado wildlife problems.

Two of the other pit bulls were taken into custody by Aurora Animal Control. Two more puppies were also taken from the home Wednesday night. All of the surviving dogs are now at the Aurora animal shelter. Animal and carcass removal services in Denver County is dedicated to helping Colorado and Denver.

There's no word yet if any charges will be filed in this case.

There had been no prior reports or incidents involving these dogs. Denver County animal services in El Paso, Colorado, declined to comment on the matter.
