Georgia's humid subtropical climate supports a wide array of wildlife, making encounters common for residents in Atlanta and its surrounding areas. The state's warm temperatures mean many animals are active year-round.
In Georgia, the combination of hot, humid summers and mild winters creates a sustained environment for wildlife. Animals like raccoons, squirrels, and opossums are frequently found in residential areas, often seeking shelter in attics or garages, especially during periods of heavy rain or extreme heat. The state's extensive tree cover and green spaces provide easy access for these creatures. Our service begins with a detailed inspection to identify the specific animal and how it has gained access to your Atlanta home.
Certain strong scents can deter some animals, though effectiveness varies. Ammonia-soaked rags or mothballs are sometimes suggested for deterring mammals. For insects, peppermint oil or vinegar can be applied to entry points. However, these are often temporary solutions and not a substitute for exclusion.
Our service is available via phone quote. The cost of wildlife removal depends on the species, the complexity of the removal, and the extent of any necessary repairs or preventative measures. We provide a clear explanation of the factors involved before any work begins.
The 3-3-3 rule is a guideline for understanding a newly adopted animal's adjustment period. It suggests that for the first three days, the animal will feel terror; for the first three weeks, they will discover; and for the first three months, they will settle in. This doesn't directly apply to wild animal removals.
For stray cats, you can contact local animal shelters or humane societies in your area. They often have resources and programs for stray animal intake and rehoming. For wildlife issues, our experts handle a different set of animal concerns.
We address a variety of nuisance wildlife situations including raccoons, opossums, squirrels, bats, rodents, and snakes. Our focus is on safely removing these animals from homes and businesses and implementing measures to prevent their return. We do not handle domestic animals like dogs or cats.
Georgia's warm, humid climate allows many wildlife species to remain active throughout the year. This means we often deal with animals seeking refuge from heat or heavy rains in homes. Our methods in Atlanta are designed to address these year-round challenges effectively.
