Attics, soffits, chimneys, and crawl spaces on Birch River properties offer wildlife exactly what they need: shelter from weather and predators. Housing here is often built into steep hillside terrain, ranging from historic coal-camp homes to more modest recent construction. Once an animal establishes a den, especially with young, removal requires a careful, humane approach rather than simply sealing them in.
Because sealing an entry point too early can trap an animal inside a wall or attic void, our approach always starts with confirming the species and any young present. From there, humane exclusion devices allow the animal to leave on its own schedule, with permanent sealing following once the space is clear.
