If you have a problem with wildlife in your Alexander City home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Alabama wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Alabama and Alexander City, and I recommend the following:

Professional Wildlife and Rodent Removal is a full-service Alexander City wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Alexander City pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Professional Wildlife and Rodent Removal performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

Alexander City wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Alabama to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Alabama law. We offer Alexander City raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Professional Wildlife and Rodent Removal. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Alexander City squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Alexander City exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Alexander City rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Alabama is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Alexander City pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Alexander City bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Alexander City trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Alexander City wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Professional Wildlife and Rodent Removal does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Professional Wildlife and Rodent Removal. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Professional Wildlife and Rodent Removal also provides dead animal removal in Alexander City. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Alexander City snake removal - most of the snakes in Alabama are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Alexander City. And remember, we are a private business, not Tallapoosa County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (256) 234-3421. Tallapoosa County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Alexander City Wildlife Tip #1:
What should I do with a snake after I catch it?

Warning: This activity of trapping a snake is to be done with utmost confidence along with the awareness of the dangers associated with it. In case of doubt, contacting the forest department is highly recommended as certain snakes turn excessive aggressive and brutal on being handled, which might lead to death. Try not to kill the snake in case of a successful entrapment as a certain humane behavior is expected out of us as a responsible member of the ecological system.

In case trapping a snake is necessary, these are the following points to remember and follow preceding the entrapment. Remember these to ensure your personal safety. Do not irritate the entrapped snake that might increase the risk of being bitten. Keep it away from children and other pets.? Keep an absolute arrangement so that the snake does not find any escape route while transferring it.? Take a step and research about the breed of the snake to understand the risks and characteristics of the creature you are dealing with.

1) State laws

Unawareness of your state laws can lead to unwanted violation of animal rights. Find out of such existing laws and take steps according. This problem is of primary concern of all people who has taken the attempt to relocate snakes or other pesticides. In some countries relocation of snakes near country and states is prohibited. While in other it is allowed to be relocated at certain distance from the area it had been captured or found, preferably a hundred feet.

2) Find an appropriate place of relocation

While freeing the snake that you have caught, it is important to first find a suitable spot for its relocation or it might end up creating trouble for others or hurting anyone. Ensure it to be located far away from domestic and commercial localities, in short far away from human inhabitants. Try finding areas with plenty scope of covers such as bushes and grasses for the snake to take respite into along with scope of finding food and living. Remember to back off quickly as soon as you release the snake as it has the chance of turning aggressive and attacking as soon as it is released.

3) Transportation of the snake

Firstly, this is again a risky process, hence is recommended to transport with a snake at shorter distances. In case you are bound to take a larger distance, remember to transfer it into a box or a cage with proper grills or tight lids. After arriving at the chosen spot, you might carefully remove the lid. Use vegetable oil to provide a glue trap while releasing the snake. Rush to a safe distance to carry out the action safely. Reminder- This is an extremely difficult task hence take all kinds of precaution, mentioned in the above article or consult an expert to assist in such a situation.

Alexander City Wildlife Tip #2:


Alabama Wildlife Information:

Alabama State bird: Yellowhammer, wild turkey
State mammal: American black bear
State reptile: Alabama red-bellied turtle
State amphibian: Red Hills salamander
State fish: Largemouth bass, fighting tarpon
State insect: Monarch butterfly

Alabama has the most diverse population of animals east of the Mississippi River, mainly due to its broad range of flat land which transitions in mountains at the top of the state. Alabama has the second most waterways of any state. What isn't water is likely to be forest. Over 67 percent of the region is wooded. Such a mixture of mountains, valleys, waterways, and trees makes this state a home for some interesting animals.

Cougars were once native to the state. The large cats have been eliminated through deliberate means and are considered to be extinct. Now, though sightings are still common, the state has verified there are no breeding mountain lions present in Alabama. Black bears are common, though they are not generally thought of as predators. The big creatures like to raid garbage cans and bird feeders, rarely posing a threat to people through predation. Wolves and coyotes are at the top of the mammal food chain, but the predator throne definitely goes to the alligator.

The red wolf is another large predator once native to Alabama that was classified as extinct in the state in the early 1920's.

Alligators are large, incredibly powerful reptiles that spend the majority of their time immersed in the water along the bank of a river, lake, or other body of water. They can become almost invisible in the weeds and mud, and many an unassuming critter has fallen victim when leaning over for a drink. Only humans can take on alligators, and even then, the outcome is not always predictable.

The warm, humid weather in Alabama makes the region appealing for reptiles in general. An alligator may overwhelm a person in size and strength, but a venomous snake will get a person with speed. Alabama has all four venomous snake types found in the United States. Coral snakes, rattlesnakes, copperheads, and cottonmouths are all native serpents to Alabama.

Nuisance animals are also common. Alabama has raccoons and ringtails, a raccoon-like creature. The state has just as many striped skunks as the rest of the country but it also has spotted skunks which are considered a species with a high conservation interest. Alabama has rats, mice, opossums, beavers, otters, and bats.
