Durango Animal
Removal & Pest Control
Durango's licensed pest and wildlife specialists — serving the Four Corners since 2021. No contracts. No franchises. No runaround. We fix it the right way — most jobs completed in a single visit.
The Four Corners region has one of the highest documented rates of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome in the United States. The primary carrier is the deer mouse — one of the most common rodents in Southwest Colorado. Exposure occurs through contact with droppings, urine, or nesting material, often during cleanup of infested crawlspaces, attics, or outbuildings. If you have a rodent problem, do not disturb nesting areas without proper PPE. Call a licensed professional for safe removal and sanitation.
Full-Service Pest & Wildlife Control
From mice in the crawlspace to wasps in the eaves to termites under the floor — one call covers it all.
Mice, rats, and pack rats don't stop at traps. We find every entry point and seal your home permanently using galvanized mesh, copper, and bronze wool. Most homes completed in a single visit — no recurring service needed.
Ants, spiders, wasps, scorpions, box elder bugs, cockroaches — treated at the source by someone who knows La Plata County's pest pressure. No contracts. No monthly plan to manage a problem we should have fixed.
Licensed termite inspections and written WDO reports accepted by lenders, title companies, and real estate agents. FHA, VA, and conventional lenders. Fast turnaround for buyers, sellers, and agents across the Four Corners.
Raccoons, bats, skunks, beavers, foxes, squirrels, birds, snakes — if it's on your property and shouldn't be, we remove it safely, legally, and completely. Attic remediation and damage repair included.
After rodents or wildlife, contamination is a real health risk — particularly in the Four Corners where hantavirus is a genuine concern. Industrial enzyme cleaners, insulation replacement, full restoration.
CDA-licensed herbicide application for pastures, ranches, and acreage across Southwest Colorado. Thistle, water hemlock, and noxious weed control at scale — with Colorado noxious weed law compliance.
A Quality Mark,
Not Just a Name
"The Durango Wildman" isn't a nickname — it's a standard of work. Every job this business takes on is held to the same bar: find the actual problem, fix it completely, document it properly, and stand behind the result. That's what separates a local operator who cares about their community from a national franchise running a monthly subscription on a problem they never intend to permanently solve.
When you call 970-694-8280, you reach Jered — the owner, licensed applicator, and the person who shows up. No dispatch center. No rotating crew. No handoff between who sold the job and who does it.
National franchise pest control is built on recurring contracts. Their business model requires your problem to continue. Ours doesn't. We solve it the right way and stand behind the work — one payment, one job done right.
Pack rats, deer mice, black widows, carpenter ants, yellow jackets — we know which species hit at which elevations, which seasons drive intrusions, and what Durango's construction patterns leave exposed. Generic national protocols don't cover any of that.
Every job is CDA-compliant — products applied, locations treated, EPA registration numbers on record. Protects you for insurance claims, real estate transactions, and any regulatory requirement down the road.
Local Operator.
Real Accountability.
I'm Jered. I've spent most of my life working in wildlife and home services across Colorado, Arizona, and the Four Corners. I started this business in Durango in 2021 because I saw a market full of national franchise companies charging monthly fees to manage problems they were never trying to permanently fix.
When you call me, you get me — the licensed applicator, the inspector, and the person doing your job. I live here. I know La Plata County's pest pressure, its construction patterns, and its terrain. I go into the crawlspaces other companies won't, find the entry points others miss, and fix the problem the right way the first time.
My reputation is built in this community. That matters more to me than any franchise agreement or corporate guarantee ever could.

Local Means Actually Better
The national companies blanketing Durango with ads don't know your terrain, your construction, or your pests. We do.
When you call 970-694-8280, you get Jered — the owner, the licensed applicator, and the person who shows up. No dispatch center, no rotating crew, no handoff. The person who inspects your home is the person who fixes it.
Pack rats, deer mice, black widows, carpenter ants, yellow jackets, box elder bugs — we know which species are active at which elevations, which seasons drive intrusions, and what local construction leaves exposed. Generic national protocols don't cover any of that.
National franchise pest control is built on recurring service agreements. The business model requires your problem to continue. Ours doesn't. We solve the problem once, stand behind the work, and that's the end of it.
Tight crawlspaces, steep rooflines, buried utility penetrations, stem walls requiring excavation. We built this business on getting into the spaces other companies skip — because that's where the actual problems live.
Pest control, rodent exclusion, wildlife removal, termite inspection. Most Durango homeowners dealing with one issue have at least one more they haven't found yet. One call, one licensed operator, one clear solution.
Every job is fully CDA-compliant — products applied, locations treated, EPA registration numbers on record. Protects you for insurance claims, real estate transactions, and any regulatory requirement.
