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.
Today, Wildguard is a family-run operation with a team of licensed, background-checked wildlife technicians who live in the same Colorado Springs neighborhoods they serve. We're not an exterminator and we're not a franchise. We're wildlife specialists — and we treat your home, and the animals, the right way.
Whether it's a single squirrel in the soffit or a full attic restoration after a raccoon family, we bring the same care, the same humane standards, and the same guarantee to every job. That's why most of our new customers come from referrals.
"I started this company because I was tired of seeing animals harmed and homeowners sold a quick patch that never lasted. Do it humanely, seal it for good, and stand behind the work. That's the whole job."
— Eric Calderon, Founder

We Live Here Too
Eric volunteers with a local raptor rehabilitation center. Marcus coaches youth soccer in Briargate. Paula organizes the Northgate neighborhood block party every July. We're not just a business in Colorado Springs — we're part of the community we serve, and we care about the wildlife around it.
That's why we care about the reputation we leave behind. Every job we do is a job someone in our neighborhood will talk about. We want them to say: Wildguard showed up on time, did it humanely, sealed it for good, and charged a fair price.
What Colorado Springs Homeowners Say
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.
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.
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.
