What's included

• Legal, compliant exclusion methods
• Guano removal and attic sanitation
• Histoplasmosis-aware cleanup
• Sealed roof, soffit, and ridge vent repairs

How the job runs

1. Inspection. We walk the property — roofline, soffits, ridge vents, foundation, crawlspace — and identify entry points and animal sign.
2. Removal. Live trapping, one-way exclusion devices, or hand-removal — whatever the species and situation call for.
3. Sealing. Heavy-gauge wire mesh, metal flashing, or replacement materials so the entry stays closed for years, not weeks.
4. Cleanup. Droppings, nesting material, and contaminated insulation handled with the right gear and disposal.
5. Follow-up. We come back to confirm the exclusion held and address anything missed.

Why call us, not a generic pest company

Most pest companies set bait stations and walk away. Wildlife is different — it requires understanding animal behavior, building construction, and federal/state regulations on protected species. After forty years, we know which entry points the next mother will find before she finds it.

What you should know about bat removal

Biology & Behavior

Most North Alabama colonies are big brown bats or evening bats. Colonies enter through gaps as small as 3/8 inch around ridge caps, gable vents, soffit returns, and chimney flashing.

Seasonal Pattern

Maternity season runs roughly May through July; full exclusion is typically performed outside that window. We can stabilize and prep during maternity season, then complete exclusion after.

Alabama & Federal Regulations

Bats are protected by federal and Alabama state law. Removal must use exclusion (one-way valves), never trapping or killing, and cannot occur during the summer maternity season when flightless pups are present.

See our full guide to Alabama wildlife removal regulations for the legal framework that governs this work.

Disease & Safety Risks

Histoplasmosis (a respiratory fungus from old guano) and rare rabies exposure. Direct skin contact with bats or guano should always involve professional PPE.

When contamination is involved, see our attic restoration process — that's how we leave the space safe to live with.

Materials We Actually Use

Stainless one-way exclusion valves, copper mesh, hardware cloth, metal flashing, polyurethane sealants. We avoid foam-only seals — bats and rodents chew through them.
