This is the government animal control services operating in El Paso County and sponsored by the city of Colorado Springs. This agency typically deals with domestic animal issues involving dogs and cats. This includes things like dangerous dogs, stray cats, pet adoptions, etc. However, this agency will sometimes lend assistance with wildlife concerns. Call (719) 473-1741 and ask if they will assist with your wildlife problem. To increase the chance of success, do not lie, but if applicable, state that the problem is a public health matter in Colorado Springs, or that you feel the public safety is at risk, perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases.

This is NOT a government agency. It is privately run, and operates on volunteer donations. This is a wildlife rehabber facility that deals strictly with wild animals. They may be able to help you with your wildlife problem, depending on the type of problem. The level of help might depend on their resources at the time. They will almost surely help in any case of an injured wild animal, or an orphaned baby animal, such as a baby squirrel or bird that fell out of a tree, or a baby opossum, etc. Please treat Colorado Springs Wildlife Rehabilitation kindly and donate if you are able to.

This is the statewide government wildlife agency in Colorado, using your tax dollars to address wildlife issues. Sometimes called the Colorado Fish & Wildlife Agency. Colorado game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and yes, wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. But they also have resources that may apply to your wildlife problem. To increase the chance of success, state that the problem is a public health matter in Colorado perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases.

Yes, the Colorado Springs police department will sometimes help with wildlife problems! I've seen many cases of the cops chasing down an errant bat in your house or snake in your pool! To increase the chance of success, never lie to the police dispatcher, but if applicable, state that you feel your personal safety is at risk, or the problem is a public safety matter in Colorado Springs, or a public health issue perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases. Success may come down to whether or not a police officer wants to show up to this call, or is available. It's not always consistent.

Colorado Springs Wildlife Tip:
Kill rats in the ceiling - Killing rats in the ceiling means finding out where the rats have been entering your home. You cannot kill the rats until you stop them from coming and going as they please. Not only will you cut off the animals' access to the outside, you will prevent new rats from entering the home. This step needs to be completed before you can move to trapping the rats in the ceiling. Even if you were able to eliminate all the rats without closing the exterior of your home, you leave yourself open to future attacks. Rat pheromones will lure new rats to the location long after the original ones are gone. Make sure the holes are sealed before anything else. Rats in the ceiling are likely active in other parts of the roof. Check the attic and the crawl spaces over the eaves. These areas will be more spacious and will provide good opportunities to set traps. Only set traps in areas where you have discovered rodent waste. Rats use their excrement to mark their territory. If droppings are present, the rat will return to that location eventually.
