If you have a problem with wildlife in your Prattville 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 Prattville, and I recommend the following:

Professional Wildlife and Rodent Removal is a full-service Prattville wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Prattville pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Professional Wildlife and Rodent Removal 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.

Prattville 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 Prattville raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Professional Wildlife and Rodent Removal. 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 Prattville 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 Prattville 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 Prattville 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 Prattville pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Prattville 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 Prattville trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Prattville 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 and Rodent Removal does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Professional Wildlife and Rodent Removal. 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 and Rodent Removal also provides dead animal removal in Prattville. 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 Prattville 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 Prattville. And remember, we are a private business, not Autauga County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 334-850-3721. Autauga County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Prattville Wildlife Tip #1:
Do relocated mice survive?

It may seem like the humane thing to do is to capture mice and release them outdoors. You may not want to do anything that harms the mouse in some way, so capturing it in some kind of trap, going outside, and releasing it a little distance away from your house so that it can't get back in would seem to be common sense solution.

If one considers it, mice are wild animals that have learned to survive outside for thousands and thousands of years. Long before people started building dwellings, mice were prospering and thriving wherever they live. They were in no way finding it difficult to be able to find sources of food, shelter, and protection from the elements and potential predators. This is why it would seem only natural that letting them outside would be a good choice.

The sad part is that your efforts to give this animal a fighting chance, as long as it isn't inside your own home, may actually be fruitless. If you are attempting to relocate a mouse outside, it's chances of survival are quite limited.

The reasons behind this are simple. It starts with the fact that the mouse has created its own system for survival inside of your home. It knows where it can find food, it has shelter that provides it protection from predators, and it is kept safe from the elements outside. It's really the Crowne Plaza in terms of locations for a mouse.

Once outside, the mouse is forced to learn a completely new way of living, one that it has no idea on how to adjust to. It likely has no idea where to find food, where to find shelter, or how to protect itself from potential predators. These are all essential ingredients in its ability to survive once it is led outside, but none of the instincts are in place for this mouse to be able to do so.

The saddest part of this whole situation is that mice that have lived inside a person's home and are then released to the outside are likely to be dead within a few hours of being released. There are a large number of predators that are waiting for an animal like a mouse to become available to them. It does not matter whether you are talking about night or day, the number of potential predators is quite numerous, meaning that this animal is in serious harm.

This may not be news that you want to hear because you have gone out of your way to give this animal chance at survival, however, it's chances are not good. This is why it makes good sense to contact your local animal control agency to see where they recommend letting the animal go before you release it. They may have some suggestions that are much more likely to increase the odds of survival for mice, so that your humanity isn't wasted hours after you release the animal.

Prattville 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.
