If you have a problem with wildlife in your Bessemer 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 Bessemer, and I recommend the following:

Professional Wildlife Services
Cell Phone: 205-267-4333

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Jefferson County Animal Services: (205) 426-5586

Professional Wildlife Services specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Alabama also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Professional Wildlife Services is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the property. Call 205-267-4333 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2020.

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Alabama and Jefferson County licensed and insured
• Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
• Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste



Professional Wildlife Services is a full-service Bessemer wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Bessemer pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Professional Wildlife Services 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.

Bessemer 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 Bessemer raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Professional Wildlife Services. 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 Bessemer 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 Bessemer 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 Bessemer 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 Bessemer pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Bessemer 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 Bessemer trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Bessemer 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 Services does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Professional Wildlife Services. 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 Services also provides dead animal removal in Bessemer. 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 Bessemer 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 Bessemer. And remember, we are a private business, not Jefferson County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (205) 426-5586. Jefferson County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Bessemer Wildlife Tip #1:
What are some humane ways to kill a house mouse?

If you have mice in your home you want to take every measure that you can to get rid of them as quickly as possible. Not only can these critters do a lot of damage to your home, chewing on wires and boards around your house, but they can also create a serious health hazard for you and your family.

Mice are the carriers of a large number of different pathogens and parasites that pose a health risk to you. They leave their droppings around, which dry and can easily become airborne. This can pose a serious risk to the respiratory and digestive tracts of you, your family, and your pets, and this is a primary reason why you want to get rid of mice from your home as quickly as possible.

While some may convince you to try to use a trap that you can then use to release the animal outside, the reality is that mice rarely survive once they are removed from a person's home. These animals become used to living inside of a house, so being outdoors, even around your property, is an almost certain death for the animal. This is why it really makes no sense for you to even consider a trap and relocation idea.

Instead, the best option for you is to simply terminate the animal. It's likely to die anyway, and you want to ensure that it isn't going to get back into your home, so why not just do the inevitable? So, if you are wondering what are some humane ways to kill a house mouse, here are some suggestions for you.

The most obvious option that you can employ is the use of poisons. There are several different commercial brands that you can buy that will really do the job. You want to be careful about using these, to ensure that your dog or cat does not find them and become sick, but they can be highly effective in terminating the life of a mouse or mice that are inside your home.

One additional note of caution before deciding to use poisons is that you want to consider that this is going to mean you are going to have a number of dead mice that are decaying somewhere around your home. It is probably a good idea before deploying this option that you know where the mice are nesting at, so once they die you are able to clean that area up quickly.

There are also several kinds of traps that will kill a mouse quite easily. These range from the standard trap that releases a mechanism that crushes the mouse all the way to traps that the mouse sticks to and is unable to get off of. Each one of these works quite well, and has a great deal of success.

Of course, another standard that you can employ is the use of a cat. Cats not only capture mice, but are sure to kill them off as well.

Bessemer 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.
