A dead animal inside a Birmingham wall or attic is almost always one of the species already active locally — squirrels & flying squirrels, raccoons in crawl spaces & chimneys, bats in older homes. Squirrel and flying-squirrel attic calls peak in late winter and again in fall, raccoons den in chimneys and crawl spaces through spring, and bat exclusions wait until maternity season ends (May–August). We thermal-image the exact location, cut the smallest possible access, remove the carcass, and enzyme-treat the cavity so odor is neutralized at the source.

Same process on every Birmingham call — no surprises, no upsells mid-job. Our team follows applicable state wildlife rules.
Birmingham dispatch same-day when scheduling allows. Technician arrives with a thermal camera to pinpoint the carcass — usually between studs, in insulation, or in a soffit run.
We plan the smallest possible drywall or soffit access before cutting. Where we cut, we patch — no unfinished holes left behind.
Carcass is bagged and removed, the cavity is treated with hospital-grade enzyme, and any contaminated insulation is bagged out. Odor is neutralized at the source, not masked.
If odor lingers after the enzyme cures, we return at no charge to re-treat. Nine times out of ten, one visit is all it takes.
Scratching in the ceiling at dawn or after dark? Across Greater Birmingham, squirrels and flying squirrels get into attics from wooded ridges, raccoons settle into crawl spaces and chimneys, and older brick homes give bats easy access.
A dead animal in your wall or attic can make a home unlivable. We locate the source, remove the carcass, sanitize the area with hospital-grade enzymes, and neutralize odor at the source — not just mask it.
Squirrel and flying-squirrel attic calls peak in late winter and again in fall, raccoons den in chimneys and crawl spaces through spring, and bat exclusions wait until maternity season ends (May–August).
