Wildlife Removal in Birmingham
Full Removal & Exclusion Services for Birmingham & Mountain Brook Homeowners
Wildlife in your home isn’t a problem that gets better on its own. Raccoons, squirrels, bats, and opossums can cause structural damage and carry serious health risks. The longer they stay, the worse both problems can get. At Pest Authority of Birmingham, AL, we handle the entire process: removal, comprehensive exclusion work to seal entry points, and a follow-up inspection to check for remaining activity.
Scratching or thumping sounds, odors, droppings, nesting material, damaged vents, and disturbed insulation can all point to attic wildlife, crawl space wildlife, or activity in another structural area. Avoid direct contact with animals or contaminated nesting material while you arrange an inspection.

What Wildlife Management & Animal Removal Includes
Our service includes:
- Full property inspection to identify wildlife entry points and active nesting areas
- Safe, humane removal of wildlife in compliance with local regulations
- Comprehensive exclusion work to seal entry points after removal
- Treatment of attics, crawl spaces, and structural areas where animals nest
- Follow-up inspection to check for remaining activity
Removal addresses the animal activity that is already present. Wildlife exclusion addresses the roof gaps, vents, soffits, utility openings, chimneys, or other access points that may allow animals to return.
We provide safe, humane removal for bats, opossums, raccoons, squirrels, and more. DIY removal can put you at risk: defensive animals can bite, raccoons and bats can carry rabies, and contaminated nesting material in attics creates its own hazards. Our wildlife exterminator and pest control team is trained and certified to handle these situations safely.

Wildlife Concerns in Birmingham & Mountain Brook Homes
Wildlife can reach protected areas of a home through openings along rooflines, vents, and soffits or shelter beneath decks, porches, and in crawl spaces. Noises, odors, droppings, damaged materials, and visible access points should be considered together during an entry-point inspection.
Raccoons
Raccoons can damage roof components or other openings while reaching an attic or enclosed space. Once inside, they may nest, contaminate insulation, and cause ongoing structural damage. They also can carry rabies, so homeowners shouldn’t attempt direct handling.
Squirrels
Squirrels can enter through relatively small roof gaps and may chew materials such as electrical wiring. Activity in an attic, walls, or roofline can indicate that squirrel removal and exclusion work are needed to address both the animals and their access point.
Bats
Bats may roost in attics, wall voids, and other narrow structural spaces. Guano can accumulate where bats roost, and a bat seen indoors should be evaluated carefully. A single bat in a room may be an isolated event, while repeated sightings or activity near an opening can indicate a larger issue.
Opossums
Opossums may shelter beneath decks, porches, or in crawl spaces. Droppings and nesting material can accumulate in these areas, and opossum removal begins with identifying where the animal is entering and sheltering.
Alabama Wildlife Removal & Bat Exclusion Considerations
Wildlife removal on private property is different from ordinary domestic-animal control. Our safe, humane removal is performed in compliance with applicable local regulations, and the inspection helps determine the appropriate response for the animal, structure, and active entry points.
Bat exclusion requires particular timing and planning. Alabama Cooperative Extension guidance advises completing bat exclusion outside the April-through-August pupping season so flightless young aren’t trapped inside a structure. One-way doors, funnels, or similar devices allow bats to exit before the openings are sealed.
Don’t handle bats with bare hands. If a bat may have contacted a person or was found in a frequently occupied space, seek appropriate medical or public-health guidance in addition to arranging a professional inspection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who handles nuisance wildlife on my property?
For nuisance wildlife on private property, homeowners generally contact a wildlife-control provider. An inspection can identify the species, entry point, nesting area, and extent of activity before removal and exclusion work are recommended.
What signs should I watch for?
Common signs include scratching or thumping sounds in walls or ceilings, unfamiliar odors, visible droppings or nesting material, unexplained structural damage, and pets behaving nervously or fixating on walls and ceilings.
Should I wait to call about wildlife?
It’s best to schedule an inspection when you hear activity, see damage, or find wildlife inside a structure. Damage and contamination can continue while animals remain present. Raccoons and bats also require caution because of potential disease exposure.
What happens after animal removal?
Removal is followed by comprehensive exclusion work. Entry points are inspected and sealed to address the animals’ access points. A follow-up inspection checks for remaining activity.
Do I need a long-term contract?
No. Pest Authority of Birmingham, AL provides Wildlife Management & Animal Removal without a long-term obligation.
