Sect. II The Method
Inspect → Exclude → Remove → Restore
Every Wildguard job follows the same four-step field method. Removal alone just opens the door for the next animal — sealing the entry points is the whole point of doing it right.
- Step One
Inspect
A licensed operator identifies the species from sound, sign, and entry damage — and locates every way in. You get a written quote before any work begins. Free, always.
- Step Two
Exclude
We install one-way exclusion devices appropriate to the animal, so it leaves but cannot return — and we confirm no dependent young are sealed inside.
- Step Three
Remove
Animals that must be hands-on are live-trapped and removed without harm, in full compliance with Colorado wildlife regulations.
- Step Four
Restore
We seal every entry point with heavy-gauge materials, clean up contamination, and back the seal with a written warranty so the problem doesn't come back.
Sect. III What We Do
Complete Wildlife Control Services
From a single squirrel in the attic to a full exclusion and restoration, our licensed wildlife technicians handle it all — humanely, and with a written warranty.
Animal Trapping & Removal
Raccoons, squirrels, skunks, and opossums in your attic, walls, or yard are more than a nuisance — they cause damage and carry disease. We locate, trap, and remove them humanely, then make sure no young are left behind.
- Raccoon removal
- Squirrel removal
- Skunk & opossum removal
- Litter & nest checks
Bat Removal & Exclusion
Bats in your attic or eaves are a protected species — and a health concern. We use legal, humane one-way exclusion devices that let bats leave but never return, then seal every entry point. No harm to the colony.
- Humane one-way exclusion
- Maternity-season compliant
- Guano cleanup & decontamination
- Entry-point sealing
Bird Control & Nest Removal
Pigeons, sparrows, and starlings nesting in vents, gutters, and eaves create mess, odor, and fire hazards. We remove nests, install deterrents, and bird-proof your home so they can't come back.
- Nest removal
- Dryer & exhaust vent screening
- Bird spikes & netting
- Gutter & ledge deterrents
Attic & Crawlspace Restoration
Wildlife leaves behind contaminated insulation, droppings, and chewed wiring. We clean, decontaminate, and re-insulate your attic or crawlspace — restoring it to a safe, energy-efficient condition.
- Contaminated insulation removal
- Disinfection & deodorizing
- Droppings & nest cleanup
- Blown-in re-insulation
Wildlife Exclusion & Prevention
Removing the animal is only half the job. We find and seal every entry point — vents, soffits, roof gaps, and foundation breaches — with heavy-gauge materials, and we warranty the seal so the problem doesn't return.
- Full home entry-point inspection
- Soffit & vent sealing
- Chimney & roof-gap caps
- Heavy-gauge exclusion mesh
Dead Animal Removal & Odor Control
A dead animal in a wall, attic, or crawlspace creates a powerful odor and a health hazard. We locate and remove the carcass, sanitize the area, and treat the odor at the source — not just mask it.
- Carcass location & removal
- Odor neutralization at source
- Area sanitizing
- Fly & maggot treatment

Sect. IV Field Crew
Colorado Springs' Humane Wildlife Specialists
When Eric Calderon started Wildguard Wildlife Removal in 2011, Colorado Springs homeowners had two bad options: call a pest exterminator who treated raccoons like roaches, or a general handyman who'd patch a hole and hope for the best. Neither solved the real problem — and neither did it humanely.
Eric had spent years as a licensed wildlife control operator watching animals get harmed unnecessarily and homeowners get the same critter back two months later because no one sealed the entry point. He launched Wildguard on a simple promise: remove the animal humanely, find every way it got in, seal it for good, and warranty the work.
Humane Methods
We use live trapping and one-way exclusion. Animals are removed without harm, and young are never left behind.
Licensed Wildlife Operator
Every job is overseen by a state-licensed Wildlife Control Operator — not an exterminator, not a handyman.
Background-Checked Team
Every technician passes a background check before they enter your home. You know who is at your door.

What Colorado Springs Homeowners Say
Over 4,100 animals removed and excluded. Here's what a few of our customers had to say.
★★★★★
Google We had a raccoon and three babies in the attic. Wildguard removed all of them humanely, found the hole behind the gutter we never would have spotted, and sealed it. Six months later — still nothing. Worth every penny.
★★★★★
Yelp Bats in the eaves for two summers. An exterminator told us to just live with it. Eric's team installed one-way doors, cleaned up the guano, and sealed the roofline. They actually knew the law on bat exclusion. Total pros.
★★★★★
Facebook Squirrels in the soffit, chewed wiring, the works. Wildguard removed them, restored the attic insulation, and gave us a warranty on the exclusion. Marcus walked me through every entry point he sealed. Honest, fair, and thorough.
