What we see in Baldwin County

Salt air opens the door. The animal just walks through it.

Most Baldwin County houses are newer than Mobile's, which sounds like an advantage until you look at what the coast does to builder-grade metal. Gable vent screens rust through from behind. Chase cover seams open. Dryer vent flaps stop closing. Down on the beach in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach it happens faster still, and rental turnover means nobody is in the attic often enough to notice. Inland toward Silverhill and Bay Minette the story shifts to armadillos under slabs and squirrels crossing from pine to roofline.

Stainless that survives the salt, fitted to the actual flue.

“Clay replaced our chimney cap and reflectors, fixed the flue, left no mess and the price was extremely reasonable.”

The 1st Choice standard

Identify, remove, seal, explain.

01

Understand

We listen: what you hear, where in the house you hear it, and what time of day. That usually narrows the species before anyone climbs a ladder.

02

Evaluate

The technician inspects the chimney, attic or vent, confirms the animal and finds the actual entry point before quoting a dollar.

03

Complete & explain

We remove the animal, close the opening, clean what needs cleaning, and tell you plainly what we did and what is left.

Frequently asked

Questions about animal removal in Baldwin County.

How much does animal removal cost in Baldwin County?

Removal runs $180 to $560. Where you land depends on the animal, how hard it is to reach and how long the job takes — one squirrel in a gable vent is not a litter in a second-story soffit. You get the number before we start. Exclusion and repair are quoted separately once we see the entry point.

Do you come to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach?

Yes. All of Baldwin County — Fairhope, Daphne, Spanish Fort, Foley, Silverhill, Robertsdale, Loxley, Elberta, Bay Minette, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. We work rental properties as well as owner-occupied homes; tell us about access and we will plan around a turnover.

Something is digging holes all over my yard. Armadillo?

Probably, if the holes are shallow cone-shaped divots two to three inches across and they appeared overnight. Armadillos are after grubs, so they follow the soft, watered ground — which is why they hit irrigated lawns and flower beds first. They also den under slabs, decks and outbuildings, and that is the part worth handling rather than living with.

What about bats — can you do that any time of year?

No. Alabama Extension guidance is that bat exclusion belongs outside the pupping season, roughly April through August, because one-way doors installed while the young are still flightless trap them inside the structure. We will inspect, tell you what we see, and schedule the exclusion for the right window.
