Busch wildlife in Alabama

Experiencing wildlife intrusions in Alabama, particularly around the Birmingham metro area? Unwanted guests in your home can be a real concern.

Choose your city

Alabama's humid subtropical climate, characterized by hot summers and mild winters, creates a favorable environment for a wide range of wildlife year-round. This means animals like raccoons, squirrels, and rodents are active and frequently seeking entry into homes and structures. The accessibility of attics, crawl spaces, and wall voids in many of Alabama's housing styles makes them prime targets for these critters.

Common questions

Will Animal Control remove a raccoon for free?

Professional wildlife removal services, including those for raccoons, typically involve a fee. The cost reflects the expertise, equipment, and safe, humane methods used to address the problem. We provide a complimentary phone consultation to outline the process and associated costs for your Alabama property.

What smells keep animals away?

While some homeowners try using strong scents like ammonia or essential oils, their effectiveness against persistent wildlife in Alabama is often limited. For a lasting solution, it's best to address the root cause by sealing entry points and employing professional exclusion techniques rather than relying on temporary deterrents.

Is there a fee for calling animal control?

There is no fee to discuss your wildlife situation with us over the phone. We offer a free initial consultation to understand the problem and provide guidance. Any service fees are determined after a thorough assessment of your property and the specific wildlife issue.

What is the 3-3-3 rule for animals?

The '3-3-3 rule' is not a standard industry term for wildlife removal. Each animal and situation requires a unique approach. Factors like the species, the extent of the infestation, and the location within your Birmingham home will influence the removal strategy and cost.

Who to call to pick up stray cats?

For stray domestic cats in the Birmingham area, your best bet is to contact local animal shelters or animal welfare organizations. They are best equipped to handle the intake and care of stray cats, whereas our focus is on wild animals encroaching on properties.

What are common wildlife challenges in Birmingham?

Birmingham residents frequently encounter raccoons and squirrels in their homes, especially in older homes with accessible attics and crawl spaces. The mild winters mean these animals are active throughout much of the year, leading to potential damage and health concerns.
