FAQs on Humane Animal Removal
- Is it legal to remove animals from my chimney? Yes, but Colorado laws require that it be done humanely. Colorado Parks and Wildlife regulations require humanely removing wildlife and prohibiting harm to protected species. Under Colorado Revised Statutes Title 33 (Wildlife and Parks and Outdoor Recreation), it is illegal to harm, harass, or relocate certain protected species without a permit. Additionally, guidelines must be followed for handling nuisance wildlife to ensure minimal animal stress and harm. We adhere to all these state and local regulations to ensure compliance and prioritize the well-being of the animals.
- What if there are baby animals? We ensure all animals, including babies, are removed safely and kept together. Our team is trained to handle situations involving young animals to minimize stress and harm. According to Colorado law, extra precautions must be taken when dealing with young wildlife, as they are particularly vulnerable. Our approach follows all state regulations to guarantee that young animals are relocated humanely and without separation from their mothers whenever possible.
- How can I prevent animals from entering my chimney? The best solution is to install a chimney cap. We offer various options to suit your needs and ensure your chimney is protected year-round from wildlife intrusion. According to Colorado law, homeowners are encouraged to take proactive measures to prevent wildlife entry, as relocating certain animals without proper permits can be illegal. Installing chimney caps prevents wildlife intrusion, helps you stay compliant with local regulations, and avoids potential legal issues.
- Do you relocate animals after removal? We work with local wildlife experts to safely relocate animals by Colorado wildlife laws, ensuring they are returned to suitable habitats. Colorado Revised Statutes and Colorado Parks and Wildlife regulations require that licensed professionals conduct relocation of certain species and occur within a designated distance to ensure the animals’ survival. Our team adheres to these regulations to ensure all relocated wildlife is handled safely and legally.
- How often should I inspect my chimney for animals? We recommend annual inspections, ideally before the burning season, to ensure your chimney is clear of any wildlife and safe for use.
