Birmingham's Best Raccoon Control: If you are dealing with problem critters like raccoons or opossums, we can trap them and release them a minimum of ten miles from where we captured them, encouraging them to stay away.

We work seven days every week, including weekends and holidays. Since animals never take a break, we don't either. We don't want you to have to wait to remove the unwanted critters from your property. After all, some animals, like moles, groundhogs, or even squirrels, can destroy your landscaping or garden if left alone. For three consecutive years, the metropolitan area has voted us the #1 wildlife control company and we do our best to maintain that strong reputation. After all, there must be a reason for our consistent five-star ratings on sites like Yelp and Google. Part of this is that we are not a regular pest control company or exterminators.

As we only handle reptiles and mammals, we have vast experience in those areas and can handle your problem promptly, effectively, and humanely.

We are Alabama's top experts in wildlife and raccoon control. We are not a typical Birmingham raccoon control or pest control company. We don't treat wild animals like insects, because they are not! You can't just use poison to get rid of them. You also can't just set a few traps on the ground and call it good. Each situation is unique. And remember, if you have raccoons living in your house, it is almost certainly a female with a litter of young inside. These juveniles must be removed by hand, or they will starve to death and die. And after they are gone, the entry holes into the house must be sealed with professional repairs. Unlike most Birmingham pest control, we focus on complete and permanent solutions, by following these steps:

• Inspect the entire house, ground to roof, and the attic
• Seal shut all entry areas with professional grade steel
• If in attic, we remove the baby raccoons by hand
• Technical and human raccoon trapping appropriate to situation
• When necessary, we clean raccoon droppings and replace insulation

Birmingham Raccoon Control Tip: What To Do If You Find A Raccoon In The Living Quarters Of Your Property
Raccoons are animals that can explore a range of different areas, in both rural and suburban areas, but it is true to say that they will usually try to avoid any direct contact with people where possible. However, in some cases they may find their way into kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms in a domestic home, and in this situation, they can be just as surprised as you. Be aware that they may panic and flee into the corner of a room, or in some cases, they will have a hole where they have crawled out of.

Opening Doors And Windows To Give The Raccoon An Escape Route
If the raccoon is showing no signs of leaving the room where you encounter the animal, then you can start by trying to give it an easy route out of the property. If you have patio doors or windows opening to the outdoors, open these, and give the animal the opportunity to escape. If you need to lead it through a corridor to get out, then using a trail of kibble or other small treats can help clear the raccoon out of your home.

Catching The Raccoon In A Toughened Plastic Box For Removal
At this stage, if the animal is still not moving, then you will need to decide if you try and remove the animal yourself, but bear in mind this can have risks associated with it. In terms of removing the animal, most people will throw a thick blanket over the raccoon so that it can be bundled up and place in a plastic box to be moved out of the property. In some cases, this may not be possible, so in that situation you may still need to get some help to deal with the raccoon.

Should You Call A Professional To Remove The Animal?
In many cases, the steps mentioned above will have dealt with the problem, and if a raccoon is feeling confined or confused, then it will often dash for the outdoors when given the opportunity. However, if you are at all worried about the health risks, or aren't confident about dealing with the animal then it makes sense to call an animal removal expert. They will have the skills and the tools to be able to remove the raccoon safely and humanely.

Cleaning And Repairs To Be Completed
Once the raccoon has been removed from your property, then it is important to deal with the health risk and damage that the raccoon has left behind. Check the area and any rooms the raccoon may have had access to for any damage that needs to be repaired, and also look for any signs of raccoon feces or urine. In some areas, you may be able to disinfect a hard floor or shampoo a carpet to help clean this area. 

Check Your Property For Other Signs Of Raccoon Activity
The last thing to do once you have removed the raccoon for your property is to make sure that the raccoon isn't actually nesting in the area around your home. Signs such as garbage bags being torn open can be one indication, while it can be worth having a look in your attic or roof cavity to see if there are any signs of insulation being torn to make a nest, or any soiling from raccoon urine and feces. If you do see any signs of this, you should be proactive and consider laying a trap to try and catch the raccoon, as if it is left to continue living around your property, it will continue to cause problems.
