Brazil is the Clay County seat, about 25 miles east of Terre Haute on US-40. It is a town with real history — the coal heritage runs deep in Clay County — and the housing stock reflects it. The older neighborhoods in Brazil, particularly around the downtown square and the established residential streets off US-40, have the same characteristics as the bat-prone neighborhoods I deal with in Terre Haute every week. Old wood trim, brick construction with gaps that have developed over decades, soffits that were never updated.
Brazil also has newer subdivisions on the edges of town, and those bring different wildlife calls: Fox squirrels in suburban yards, raccoons in newer attic construction where the builder didn't think about chimney caps. I cover both ends of the spectrum. Call +1 812-310-4602.
Bat removal. Big Brown Bats colony in the eaves and attics of older Brazil homes each summer. Indiana DNR restricts exclusion May 15–August 15 (bat maternity season). Book an inspection now and get on the August exclusion schedule. The Indiana Bat (Myotis sodalis), a federally endangered species, is within the Clay County range — we treat every bat job as protected until confirmed.
Squirrel problems. Grey squirrels in the older, treed neighborhoods. Fox squirrels in the suburban areas. Flying squirrels in attics, often mistaken for mice. Brazil's mix of old and new housing means we see all three. Flying squirrels in particular are very active in the older clay county farmhouses on the edges of town.
Raccoon removal. Brazil has wooded creek corridors that serve the same function as the Wabash River does in Terre Haute — wildlife highways into residential areas. Raccoon chimney entries on older homes without caps are a consistent call. Trapping, removal, cap installation, and entry sealing.
Attic restoration. We get called to Brazil for post-bat restoration work regularly. Older homes with multi-year bat colonies need full attic decontamination and insulation replacement, not just exclusion. Bat guano carries Histoplasma risk. We do the full job.
We are Indiana DNR WCO licensed and serve all of Clay County. Brazil is about 25 minutes from our Terre Haute base on US-40 — same-day service is available.
