St. Clair County Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing St. Clair County, AL

If you have a problem with wildlife in your St. Clair County 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 St. Clair County, and I recommend the following:

Professional Wildlife Services
Cell Phone: 205-267-4333

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call the County Animal Services: (205) 814-1567



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 the 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 St. Clair County wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular St. Clair County 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.

    St. Clair County 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 St. Clair County 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 St. Clair County 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 St. Clair County 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 St. Clair County 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 St. Clair County pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is St. Clair County 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 St. Clair County trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a St. Clair County 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 St. Clair County. 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 St. Clair County 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 St. Clair County. And remember, we are a private business, not the County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (205) 814-1567. the County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    St. Clair County Wildlife Tip #1:
    Will the county and city animal service help with a snake issue?

    Years ago, county and city animal services were capable to help in the removal of wild animals away from the property. You only had to place the complaint, and even if they were slow, the issue would be resolved in the end. However, now it is expensive to handle wild animal issues, so the county and city animal services have ceased to offer help. It is important to note that a county or city animal service cannot handle wild animal issues now. They are able to handle issues of domestic animals such as dogs or cats. Other types of wildlife issues will fall squarely in the hands of the private professionals. They have to be wildlife trappers that are also state licensed.

    When the issue is a dog or a cat, it will not involve any tricky requirements such as going into an attic or in crawl spaces; so the county animal service will help. If you need to have your snake issue handled, the right thing to do is contact the wildlife trapper who has been licensed in the area.

    Who you should hire

    Because it has become clear that the county and city animal service is not going to help you with the issues of a snake, you should hire professionals to solve this problem. You also have to be aware that it is not easy to find a company that offers high quality service, but there is always hope because good companies are out there.

    When you do some research before you hire a person, it will go a long way. You should not settle for just any person. You will find things that can tell you if the company works well or not.

    If you call the service or the company, you will have to explain what your problem is, and you have to be attentive. You have to try to determine if the person at the other end has enough knowledge about the issue or not. He should ask you about the details and get an idea of what you are dealing with. The people you call should be polite and sound organized. You should also observe the patience of the person you are talking to.

    You should not call a pest control company because they only handle insects. There is no relationship between the nuisance wildlife and pest control. You have to ensure that the wildlife trapper that you are dealing with has been licensed. This is one way that you can get the snake problem out of your hands and the problem will be solved completely.

    St. Clair County 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.
