Nuisance Pest Control for Wildlife Animals & Critters
Wildlife doesn’t follow a schedule, and neither do we. At Perimeter Wildlife Control, we’re available 24/7 to handle the most common nuisance animals in the Metro Atlanta area. These critters often make themselves at home in attics, crawl spaces, and other structures — thriving in busy neighborhoods and taking advantage of human food and shelter.
Below are brief descriptions of the most common nuisance wildlife species found in the Metro Atlanta area.
Coyotes
As urban areas expand, coyotes increasingly wander into neighborhoods, posing risks to pets and occasionally people. They may also dig through trash and damage property while searching for food.
Rats
Roof Rats and Norway Rats are common in Georgia. Rats often nest in attics, walls, and crawl spaces, chewing on wiring, insulation, and wood — creating fire hazards and structural damage.
Squirrels
Eastern Gray Squirrels frequently invade attics, especially during nesting seasons. They can gnaw on wires, chew through wood, and damage insulation, posing safety risks.
Raccoons
Strong and resourceful, raccoons often break into attics and crawl spaces to nest. They can tear through vents, shingles, and insulation, causing extensive damage.
Snakes
While most snakes are harmless, venomous species like Copperheads and Cottonmouths can pose serious risks. Snakes may enter basements, garages, or crawl spaces in search of food or shelter.
Bats
Little Brown Bats are common in Georgia and often roost in attics. Their droppings (guano) can lead to foul odors, structural damage, and health risks due to airborne pathogens.
Birds
Pigeons and other nuisance birds frequently nest on buildings, leaving droppings that corrode surfaces and pose sanitation risks. Their nesting materials can also clog vents and gutters.
Moles
Moles tunnel underground, creating unsightly ridges and mounds that damage lawns and gardens. Their digging can also weaken soil stability.
Armadillos
Known for digging large burrows, armadillos can damage foundations, landscaping, and irrigation systems, creating costly repairs.
