Local raccoon removal for Hartselle homes. We respond fast, identify entry points, remove the animals, seal the work, and clean up. Forty years working Hartselle and the surrounding Morgan County area.
Raccoons are powerful, smart, and destructive. They tear soffit vents, rip shingles, and create attic latrines that contaminate insulation. We remove them safely — including mothers with kits — and repair the damage so they cannot return.
Squirrel-heavy in mature neighborhoods, bat colonies in older roofs, raccoon work near wooded perimeters, and seasonal skunk and opossum calls.

Raccoons are an unprotected nuisance species in Alabama but must be handled humanely; live trapping and on-site euthanasia options follow state wildlife code.

Live traps, heavy-gauge hardware cloth, steel flashing, stainless screws, replacement soffit and ridge-vent material, attic decontamination supplies.
