Prairie Dog and Wildlife Pest Problems in Western, CO, and surrounding areas
Prairie dogs and other wildlife create visible and hidden problems: burrows that threaten equipment and animal safety, surface soil loss that accelerates erosion, and persistent rodent or raccoon activity that spreads disease and damages structures. Left unchecked, these issues escalate into costly repairs, depleted grazing land, and safety liabilities. Critter Getter 26 LLC, LLC: Prairie Control knows local Colorado conditions and the seasonal patterns that drive pest behavior. Our approach combines experienced trapping and exclusion methods with humane pest control practices that prioritize safety for people, livestock, and non-target wildlife wherever possible.

Professional pest control and prairie dog extermination protect fences, irrigation lines, pastures, and foundations while preserving usable land. Our team responds fast to calls from Western CO and surrounding areas, understands county and state regulations, and implements solutions designed for long-term results rather than temporary fixes.

Pest Control Service
Practical solutions for prairie dogs, rats, raccoons, and wildlife
Critter Getter 26 LLC: Prairie Control provides a single, focused service section to address both agricultural and residential pest challenges: prairie dog extermination, rat trapping, raccoon trapping, wildlife trapping, and humane pest control options. Our methods are designed to remove immediate threats while providing guidance and measures to reduce future occurrences.
Why pest control matters for landowners and homeowners
Preserve infrastructure: Burrowing animals and rodents undermine fences, damage irrigation systems, and destabilize foundations. Professional prairie dog extermination and burrow remediation protect investment in buildings and farmland.
Protect livestock and pets: Burrows and rodent populations increase risk of injury to animals and spread of disease. Removing or controlling these pests reduces the chance of livestock injury and exposure to parasites and pathogens.
Prevent soil loss and maintain grazing value: Prairie dog colonies can reduce usable grazing acreage and accelerate erosion if not addressed. Timely control restores productive land and prevents long-term losses.
Improve safety and appearance: Dense colonies and raccoon activity can create tripping hazards, attract predators, and lower property aesthetics. Control improves safety for residents and visitors.

Realistic expectations and timelines
Small prairie dog colonies: Control and initial remediation often completed in one visit with follow-up monitoring.
Large colonies: May require staged interventions and ongoing monitoring over weeks to fully remediate burrow networks and re-contour land.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your prairie dog extermination methods legal?
Yes. J&H Enterprise follows county and state regulations for prairie dog control and obtains any required permits. We also document our procedures and provide records upon request.
Do you relocate raccoons and other wildlife?
When relocation is legal and appropriate, we use humane live traps and follow best practices. In many cases, relocation is restricted by local regulations, and humane euthanasia may be required when animals pose health risks. We will explain options and recommended actions during the site assessment.
Will exterminating prairie dogs cause problems for other wildlife?
Our work is targeted to reduce harm to non-target species. We assess surroundings and use methods that limit impacts, followed by habitat restoration to discourage rapid recolonization.
How do you handle rodent infestations in barns and outbuildings?
We combine targeted trapping, sanitation recommendations, and exclusion measures such as sealing gaps and installing rodent-proof materials. For severe infestations, an integrated approach delivers the best long-term results.
