Anderson Wildlife Removal - Madison County Coverage

What we see across Anderson

Downtown Anderson - the older blocks around Meridian and Main, the row homes off Jackson and 8th Streets - is the city’s most distinctive housing stock. Late 1800s through 1930s, often with shared party walls, original chimneys, and wood window and door framing that has been painted-over and patched for a century. Squirrel and bat entries through compromised soffits and ridge caps are common here. Shared-wall homes complicate exclusion work because you have to consider the neighbor’s entry points as well as your own; we coordinate when needed. Chimney caps are the single most-installed item in this part of the city.

The area around Anderson University and the older neighborhoods to its north and east are heavy on rental and former-rental stock, much of it 1920s through 1960s construction. Deferred maintenance creates more entry points than you’d see in similar-age housing elsewhere - chewed soffit corners that have been there for years, gable vents with no screening at all, attic access hatches that don’t seal. We do simple exclusion work in this area, often with a lot of secondary sealing in the same job because the whole roofline tends to have multiple problems.

Edgewood, the country club area, and the newer Anderson stock on the south and east sides of town are 1980s through current. The same patterns we see in newer construction across central Indiana apply: gable vent failures, loose ridge caps, dryer vent chewing. Standard squirrel and raccoon work, two-year warranty.

Madison County overall has more skunk and groundhog work than the Hamilton County core because the rural-residential lots come up faster as you head out of the city. We’ve done a lot of under-deck and crawlspace work in the unincorporated areas around Anderson, Pendleton, and points east.
