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

Professional Wildlife Services
Cell Phone: 256-841-0518

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Franklin County Animal Services: (256) 332-1217

Professional Wildlife Services specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Alabama also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Professional Wildlife Services is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the property. Call 256-841-0518 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2020.

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Alabama and Franklin County licensed and insured
• Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
• Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste



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

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

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

The above are just some of the services offered by Professional Wildlife Services. 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 Services also provides dead animal removal in Russellville. 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 Russellville 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 Russellville. And remember, we are a private business, not Franklin County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (256) 332-1217. Franklin County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Russellville Wildlife Tip #1:
Is squirrel feces dangerous to touch or breathe?

It is as Dangerous as a Rat's Feces

We must admit that squirrels are fuzzy and cute creatures but we don't want them invading our home and pooping all over it. We say this because a squirrel's feces is extremely dangerous to one's health.

We can even say that squirrel feces is as dangerous as a rat's feces. If you have chased away squirrels from your attic, the next important thing you should do is to clean their feces. However, you can't clean it however you want. We say this for the sake of your health. So, in this article, we will explain you how to remove squirrel feces and is it dangerous for touching or breathing in.

Squirrel's Feces Carries Diseases

Squirrels have been known for long time in medical and biological circles as carriers of the so-called vector diseases. This means that touching squirrel's poop or breathing it in can result in infection with Salmonella. Salmonella is an extremely dangerous bacteria found in contaminated air, food, and water.

Besides their feces, squirrels can transmit fleas and bugs onto people who get in a close touch with them. There have also been theories that squirrels can transmit rabies, but this wasn't scientifically proven. However, you should know that touching or inhaling squirrel poop will most likely result in Salmonella infection.

How Does Squirrel Feces Look?

Squirrel feces appears as a black and grainy material. It can also appear as a brown grainy material. Squirrel's poop is naturally soft but it thickens as time flies.

When left undetected, squirrel feces can break up into small droplets which humans may breathe in if they don't take preventive measures.

Preventive Measures

The best preventive measure from inhaling squirrel feces is to wear a gas mask. Wearing a gas mask while cleaning your attic of squirrel poop will protect you from inhaling even the smallest droplets of squirrel feces. If you can't afford a gas mask, a surgical mask is a great alternative.

How to Deal with Squirrel Feces?

The best way you can deal with squirrel feces and remove it from your attic is to use a vacuum cleaner. Don't even think of cleaning up squirrel feces with your bare hands. For your ease, use a powerful vacuum cleaner that will clean up even the tiniest squirrel poop droplets and make your attic free of squirrel feces.

Russellville 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.
