🧠 Pro Secrets to Rodent Removal in Atlanta, GA
Rodents aren’t just gross—they’re dangerous. From contaminating food to chewing through wires and spreading disease, rats and mice pose serious threats to Atlanta homeowners.
At Perimeter Wildlife Control, we’ve handled thousands of infestations. Here are 4 proven, field-tested secrets that give you an edge when rodents take over your attic, walls, or crawlspace.
Rodent Removal & Rat Control in Atlanta, GA
🔍 Rodent Removal Secret #1 – Find the Entry Points (All of Them)
Rodents can squeeze through holes the size of a dime. Our first step is to do a detailed inspection of your roofline, soffits, crawlspace vents, AC chases, and pipe penetrations.
You can’t trap what you can’t contain. Missing even one hole means they’ll come right back.
💡 Pro Tip: Look for rub marks, droppings, gnaw marks, or shredded insulation—these are signs of frequent travel routes.
🐀 Rodent Control Secret #2 – Don’t Skip the Trapping Phase
Trapping is critical. We use a combination of snap traps and professional-grade live traps, placed strategically based on rodent behavior.
We never rely on rodenticides or poison bait stations. Not only are these ineffective long-term, but they can lead to dead rodent odors, secondary poisoning of pets, and environmental hazards.
👉 Poison-free = safer, cleaner, and more effective in the long run.
🛑 Rodent Removal Secret #3 – Seal Every Single Gap
This is where most DIY efforts fall short. Once rodents are removed, you must seal every possible reentry point, no matter how small.
At Perimeter Wildlife Control, we use custom flashing, steel mesh, and weatherproof sealants—not just foam or caulk. Rodents can chew through the wrong materials in a single night.
🚫 No reentry = no repeat infestations.
🧽 Rodent Control Secret #4 – Clean Up Like a Pro
Rodents don’t just leave behind mess—they leave behind pheromones, scent trails, and pathogens that attract new rodents.
We always recommend a professional decontamination treatment to:
- Sanitize affected insulation and surfaces
- Neutralize odors and pheromones
- Reduce disease risks from droppings and urine
💀 Rodent droppings can transmit hantavirus and other pathogens. Don’t take chances.
