Why homeowners choose Skedaddle

We address the animal, its access route and the spaces it has affected. Our assessment brings humane removal, exclusion repairs and cleanup into one property-specific plan, so the work tackles more than the immediate activity.

An inspection that follows the evidence

Our Loveland inspections follow the evidence from rooftop to foundation. Across downtown's historic residential streets and other parts of the city, we check shed openings, damaged vents, roof edges and other vulnerable areas to identify how wildlife entered. We connect those findings with the activity inside and any previous repairs. Our recommendation is based on your building's condition, not an assumption about its age or neighborhood.

Knowledge beyond getting the animal out

Our technicians are trained in wildlife biology, home repair, decontamination and restoration. That knowledge helps us select humane removal methods and address the condition of the property afterward. We use hands-on techniques and species-specific baby reunification where appropriate, then identify the repairs and cleanup needed. We explain the proposed work and distinguish additional recommendations in the written service scope.

The lifetime guarantee behind the seal

We stand behind our workmanship and materials with a lifetime guarantee on all workmanship and materials. The written scope identifies the openings and parts of the structure we protect, and we explain the applicable terms before work begins. Our follow-up can include inspection or repair of exclusion points when needed, providing defined protection for the work completed at your Loveland home.

Putting Humane Wildlife Control Into Practice Since 1989

Founder Bill Dowd explains why trapping and relocating wildlife often fails to solve the problem—and how understanding animal behavior and biology led to Skedaddle’s humane approach to protecting homes.

Wildlife we handle

We provide humane skunk, squirrel, bat and raccoon removal in Loveland. Our assessment identifies the animal and the affected structure, then guides the removal method, exclusion repairs and cleanup recommendations.

Skunk removal

Check beneath the structure

Skunks commonly den beneath sheds, garages and house foundations. Our Loveland skunk service inspects these sheltered spaces, identifies access points and checks for dependent young before selecting humane removal and exclusion methods. We also assess affected materials for cleanup and recommend repairs that protect the serviced structure against another entry.

Squirrel removal

Inspect the roof and chimney

Our squirrel removal service traces activity in Loveland attics and chimneys to the openings that allow access. We inspect roof edges and other vulnerable areas, remove squirrels humanely and complete the recommended exclusion repairs. Cleanup and insulation restoration are assessed according to the damage inside, so the service addresses both the animals and the spaces they occupied.

Bat removal

Confirm the roost and timing

We inspect suspected bat roosts along Loveland rooflines and assess activity before planning exclusion. Colorado guidance identifies autumn after maternity colonies disperse as a period to consider, but roost occupancy and weather still determine whether work can proceed. Our plan includes species-appropriate exclusion and an assessment of contamination, affected materials and any insulation restoration needed.

Raccoon removal

Account for the whole family

Our raccoon service covers attics, chimneys, crawlspaces and sheltered areas beneath decks. At Loveland homes near the Big Thompson corridor and elsewhere in the city, we inspect the den and access route before selecting humane removal methods. We account for dependent young and reunification where needed, then complete exclusion repairs and assess cleanup or restoration in the occupied space.

Other wildlife we remove in Loveland

We also help Loveland homeowners with mice and rats around foundation openings and birds entering vents. Colorado Parks and Wildlife identifies foundation gaps, vents and chimneys as potential building-access points. From downtown properties to homes elsewhere in the city, we inspect the affected structure, identify nesting activity or dependent young and establish the appropriate timing. Our service coordinates humane removal, protection of entry points and recommended cleanup.

Not sure which animal you’re hearing?

Our team identifies wildlife activity and traces the access route at your Loveland property. Book an inspection for a removal and repair plan without having to investigate roof openings or confined spaces yourself.

What an inspection looks like

We begin with a property assessment and explain our findings, service options and pricing. Our plan addresses humane removal, the openings that need protection and any cleanup or restoration required in the affected spaces.

  1. Book the inspection: Call 970-289-1322 or use our booking page. Our team schedules the assessment and gathers details about your home or affected outbuilding.
  2. Onsite inspection and removal plan: We identify the wildlife, check entry points and assess weak or damaged areas. We explain the affected spaces, recommended work sequence and quote before service begins.
  3. Humane removal and permanent sealing: We use hands-on, species-specific methods and complete exclusion repairs when the space is ready. Our approach accounts for dependent young and the timing appropriate to the animal.
  4. Decontamination and attic restoration: We determine whether targeted cleaning or more extensive restoration is needed. Our scope identifies recommended removal of droppings, nesting material and contaminated insulation, along with decontamination and replacement work.
  5. Guarantee and follow-up: We explain the serviced areas and applicable terms of our lifetime guarantee on all workmanship and materials. Follow-up can include inspection or repair of a completed exclusion point when needed.

Our quote sets out the recommended removal, exclusion, decontamination and attic restoration work with its associated pricing. We base each recommendation on the affected structure and the inspection findings, rather than assuming every property needs the same service. Book Inspection

Skedaddle's Three-Step Wildlife Removal Process

Step 1 Assess and Remove

Assess and Remove

We inspect the property to identify the wildlife, its access routes and the extent of the problem. A shed den, chimney opening or roofline roost each requires its own assessment. We match humane removal to the species and conditions, accounting for dependent young and the timing needed to complete the work appropriately.

Learn more 
Step 2 Clear and Clean

Clear and Clean

We check the areas wildlife occupied for contamination and damaged materials. Depending on the findings, our cleanup may include removing droppings and nesting debris, decontamination and targeted cleaning. Where attic insulation is affected, we recommend the necessary removal, replacement and restoration as part of the agreed service scope.

Learn more 
Step 3 Prevent and Protect

Prevent and Protect

We secure the recommended openings and address vulnerable areas once the space is ready for sealing. Durable exclusion materials and repairs protect the serviced parts of your building. Our written scope identifies that work, which we back with a lifetime guarantee on all workmanship and materials under the applicable terms.

Wildlife by season

We adjust our Loveland service plans to seasonal conditions without assuming every occupied structure needs the same solution. Our inspections cover sheltered dens, attic and chimney access, and the removal and cleanup appropriate to each animal.

Season Wildlife focus Our service focus
Spring
(March–May)		 Skunks, squirrels and raccoons We inspect dens and access points around houses and outbuildings, checking for dependent young before planning removal.
Summer
(June–August)		 Bats and occupied attic or denning spaces We assess roost occupancy and the animals present, selecting species-appropriate timing before removal and entry-point repairs.
Fall
(September–November)		 Skunks, squirrels, bats and raccoons We check shed foundations, chimneys and roofline openings, with removal, exclusion and cleanup tailored to the affected structure.
Winter
(December–February)		 Rodents and ongoing activity around buildings We investigate reported activity, assess access routes and recommend protection and cleanup based on the occupied spaces and property conditions.

Quarterly focus: Q4 (October–December 2026): Through Q4, we focus on occupied openings beneath Loveland sheds and garages, chimney access and suspected roofline roosts. From West Fifth Street to homes near the Big Thompson corridor, we assess each structure before choosing the repair. Bat exclusion depends on occupancy and weather, while cleanup and restoration are recommended only for the spaces and materials affected.

Inside the exclusion process

We connect humane wildlife removal with the work needed to protect your home afterward. Our plan covers the occupied space, the exterior access route and the cleanup or restoration recommended from the inspection.

A humane approach to wildlife removal

Our approach combines hands-on removal, entry-point inspection and durable exclusion repairs. A skunk den beneath a shed near West Fourth Street may call for a one-way device or hands-on work involving young, while a roof roost requires bat-specific timing and methods. We select the tools for the species and circumstances, then confirm when the space is ready for sealing.

Reuniting mothers with young whenever possible

We check for dependent young during den assessments and use warming boxes and species-specific baby reunification techniques where appropriate. At a Loveland deck, garage or chimney, our plan accounts for the family rather than only the adult seen entering or leaving. Even during fall work, we do not rely on a quiet interval to conclude that a den is empty. That assessment guides removal and the timing of repairs.

Decontamination and attic restoration

We evaluate contamination and damage before recommending spot cleaning or more extensive attic restoration. Our findings identify which materials are affected and why removal, decontamination or replacement insulation is needed. At a Loveland property with both a house and an outbuilding, we assess the affected structures separately. A den beneath a shed does not automatically mean the home's attic requires restoration.

Why every seal carries a lifetime guarantee

We provide a lifetime guarantee on all workmanship and materials. We identify the vents, roof openings, foundation gaps or other access points covered by your written scope. Our team explains the applicable terms and provides inspection or repair of serviced exclusion points when needed. The protection applies to the work completed, not every future wildlife concern on the property.

Frequently asked questions

How is the price determined?

We provide a detailed quote after assessing your Loveland property. Pricing reflects the work needed to remove the animal, secure entry points and address affected materials. Our written scope identifies the recommended cleanup and any attic restoration, with the findings, service options and associated costs explained before work begins.

Can the work begin on the day I call?

We schedule inspections according to current availability and do not guarantee same-day removal. Our assessment establishes the appropriate sequence for removal and repairs. Bat exclusion, for example, depends on roost occupancy and weather, so the inspection date may differ from the date all work can proceed.

What is the right time for bat exclusion?

We assess the roost and conditions at your property before planning exclusion. Colorado Bat Working Group guidance recommends considering autumn work after maternity colonies disperse, but occupancy and weather still determine the appropriate timing. For possible bat contact, seek local health-department guidance promptly rather than waiting for a routine removal appointment.

Can I book if my neighborhood is not listed?

Yes. We serve Loveland beyond the neighborhood examples listed on this page, including downtown residential streets, West Fourth Street, West Fifth Street and the First Street and Taft Avenue area. Our Colorado North service area also includes Fort Collins, Greeley, Windsor, Timnath, Severance, Wellington, Estes Park, Berthoud, Johnstown, Evans and Mead. We schedule appointments according to current availability.

How do you account for wildlife rules?

We identify the animal before choosing a removal method. Colorado Parks and Wildlife explains that requirements differ by species and more restrictive local rules may apply. Our humane methods are approved by SPCAs and Humane Societies, and our plan accounts for dependent young, timing and the requirements relevant to the work at your home.

Which fall wildlife signs deserve an inspection?

Repeated activity near a shed or chimney, an opening that appears occupied or a suspected roofline roost can indicate a wildlife problem. We inspect these signs to identify the animal and determine how it entered. For fall bat concerns, our assessment also establishes roost conditions and appropriate timing before exclusion or sealing proceeds.

Is the exclusion work guaranteed?

We offer a lifetime guarantee on all workmanship and materials and stand behind our workmanship and materials. The written scope identifies the protected parts of your building, with coverage governed by the applicable service terms. Our follow-up can include inspection or repair of an exclusion point when needed; unrelated future wildlife activity elsewhere is not automatically covered.

What cleanup follows removal?

We assess droppings, nesting debris and contaminated materials to determine the cleanup needed after removal. Our recommendations may involve targeted cleaning, decontamination or broader restoration, including replacement of affected attic insulation. The work varies between attics, wall openings and spaces beneath structures, and we identify the recommended services in your written quote.
