Wildlife Removal in Greencastle, IN – Putnam County Bat & Animal Control

Greencastle is a college town, 45 miles east of Terre Haute on US-40 in Putnam County. DePauw University anchors the community, and the neighborhoods around campus have the same character as the older college-town neighborhoods in Terre Haute near ISU — mature trees, 1920s and 1930s homes, older construction that develops wildlife entry points over time.

If you live near the DePauw campus or in the established neighborhoods off Indiana SR-240, your home likely has the structure characteristics that attract bat colonies. Old fascia, original attic vents, brick with settling gaps. These are not problems unique to Greencastle — they are common to every central Indiana college town with older housing stock. I deal with them the same way I do in Terre Haute. Call +1 812-310-4602.

Wildlife in Greencastle and Putnam County

Bat colonies near campus. The DePauw campus area is bat territory. I have removed colonies from homes on the same blocks as university buildings. Big Brown Bats prefer older rooflines with wood trim and they colonize these neighborhoods consistently every summer. Indiana DNR restricts bat exclusion May 15–August 15. An inspection booked now gets you on the August 15 start schedule. The Indiana Bat (Myotis sodalis), federally endangered, is within the Putnam County range and we treat all bat jobs accordingly.

Squirrels in older homes. The tall hardwood trees throughout Greencastle's established neighborhoods mean Grey and Fox squirrel populations are high. Flying squirrels are active in attic spaces in the older campus-area homes. The tell is nocturnal sounds — if you hear scratching at night and assume mice, call us. Flying squirrel colonies can number 30 or more animals in a single attic.

Raccoons. Putnam County has wooded creek corridors that move raccoons into town. Chimney entry is the most common problem in Greencastle's older homes. A stainless cap is the permanent solution; we install them at every job.

Rural and farmhouse calls. The roads out of Greencastle into rural Putnam County have older farmhouses that generate bat and raccoon calls. We cover the county, not just the town.
