Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/raccoon-removal-in-atlanta-24-7-humane-wildlife-control-by-perimeter-wildlife-control/) **Published:** June 27, 2025 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # 🦝 Raccoon Removal in Atlanta: Trust Perimeter Wildlife Control for Safe, Humane Solutions **Raccoon removal in Atlanta** is our specialty—whether you’re in Buckhead, Decatur, Marietta, or anywhere across Metro Atlanta. If raccoons have invaded your attic or property, Perimeter Wildlife Control offers 24/7 humane removal, cleanup, and exclusion services by licensed experts. ## TL;DR for Raccoon Removal in Atlanta *If raccoons have invaded your attic or property in Atlanta, Perimeter Wildlife Control offers 24/7 humane removal, cleanup, and exclusion services. With expert technicians and years of experience, we’re your go‑to for fast, effective raccoon control.* ### How do I get rid of raccoons in my attic in Atlanta? Call [770‑369‑7713](tel:7703697713). We provide 24/7 humane raccoon removal, attic cleanup, and wildlife exclusion across Buckhead, Decatur, Marietta, and surrounding areas. ## Why Raccoons Are a Problem in Atlanta Raccoons look cute but wreak havoc: tearing insulation, chewing wires, and leaving behind hazardous waste. In spring, female [raccoons often nest in attics](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/common-raccoon-attic-issues-and-solutions/) to raise kits. Early detection in areas like Sandy Springs and Midtown is crucial to prevent structural damage and health risks. ## “Perimeter Came Through at Midnight!” > “Perimeter came out at midnight and had the raccoons out by dawn. Our attic smells fresh, and we’ve had zero return visits!” > —Jane, Buckhead > > -Jane in Buckhead, GA ![Raccoon Removal in Atlanta | 24/7 Humane Wildlife Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Raccoon-on-House-with-logo-1024x793.webp "Raccoon on House | Perimeter Wildlife Control")## How Does Our Raccoon Removal Work? 1. **Inspection:** We survey rooflines, vents, and attics for entry points and activity. 2. **Trapping & Removal:** Humane live‑traps safely capture raccoons; we handle them wearing protective gloves. 3. **Exclusion:** All gaps, soffits, and chimneys are sealed—no more uninvited guests. 4. **Cleanup & Decontamination:** Insulation and droppings are removed, sanitized, and replaced as needed. ([Learn about attic insulation replacement](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/contact).) 5. **Follow‑Up Monitoring:** Optional visits ensure your home stays raccoon‑free. ## Why Choose Perimeter Wildlife Control? - **24/7 Emergency Service:** Sleep soundly knowing we’re on call year‑round. - **Locally Owned & Operated:** Decades in Atlanta’s neighborhoods = unmatched local expertise. - **Licensed & Insured:** Compliance and peace of mind, guaranteed. - **Eco‑Friendly & Humane:** We prioritize catch‑and‑release and natural repellents. - **Top‑Rated:** 4.6★ on Facebook and hundreds of happy homeowners. ## 🛡️ Tips to Prevent Raccoon Intrusions - **Secure Trash Bins:** Heavy‑duty cans with locking lids ([Humane Society tips](https://www.humaneworld.org/en/resources/what-do-about-raccoons)). - **Seal Entry Points:** Inspect rooflines, vents, and chimneys for gaps. - **Install Motion‑Activated Lights:** Raccoons hate sudden illumination. - **Trim Overhanging Branches:** Keep limbs 6–8 ft from your roof. - **Use Natural Repellents:** Coyote urine or mothballs may discourage visits. ## Enhanced FAQ ### How do I know if I have raccoons in my attic? Listen for loud thumping at night, look for droppings in corners, check insulation for claw marks, and note any strong ammonia‑like odors. ### Are raccoons dangerous? Yes. Raccoons can carry rabies and roundworm. If they corner you or you find droppings near children’s areas, [call a professional](https://www.cdc.gov/rabies/about/index.html)—never approach them yourself. ### Will the raccoons come back? Not if all entry points are properly sealed. Our exclusion work is backed by a 90‑day warranty. ### What should I do before your team arrives for my Raccoon Removal? Keep pets and children indoors, [remove bird](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/bird-control-atlanta-ga/) feeders, and clear the attic access for easy inspection. ## Next Steps for Raccoon Removal: Don’t wait for more damage or health hazards.

Rodents](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rodent-control-protecting-your-home-from-rodents/) **Published:** June 23, 2025 **Author:** Andy **Content:** ## **Comprehensive Rodent Control Solutions: Protecting Your Home from** **Rodents,** **Mice, and Rats** **Rodents, including mice and rats, are among the most common pests that invade homes and** **businesses. While they might seem small and harmless, their presence can lead to significant** **property damage, health risks, and contamination. At Perimeter Wildlife Control, we specialize** **in comprehensive rodent control services to remove existing infestations and implement long-** **term prevention strategies.** **In this post, we’ll cover the dangers of rodents, how to identify an** **infestation, and the steps involved in [professional rodent control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/dead-rodent-removal-services-why-should-you-hire-a-professional/).** ![Rodent Control: Protecting You from Rats|Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/rat-and-wire-1024x683.webp "rat and wire | Perimeter Wildlife Control")## **The Risks of Rodent Infestations** **Rodents are more than just a nuisance—they can cause [serious problems](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wildlife-diseases-dangerous-diseases-transmitted-by-wildlife/ "Wildlife Diseases: Dangerous Diseases Transmitted by Wildlife") for homeowners and** **business owners alike.** ### **1. Property Damage caused by Rodents:** **Rodents gnaw constantly to keep their teeth sharp, which can lead to damaged** **electrical wires, wood, plastic, and even concrete. This poses a fire hazard and** **can compromise structural integrity.** #### **2. Health Hazards from Rodents:** **Mice and rats are known carriers of diseases such as hantavirus, salmonella,** **and leptospirosis. Their droppings and urine can contaminate food, surfaces, and** **air quality, posing serious health risks.** #### **3. Rapid Reproduction by Rodents:** **Rodents reproduce quickly, meaning a small problem can escalate into a full-** **blown infestation in a matter of weeks.** #### **4. Contamination left behind by Rodents:** **Rodents often travel through dirty areas, bringing bacteria and parasites into your** **home. They can contaminate food supplies and surfaces, leading to costly** **cleanups and health risks.** ### **Signs of a Rodent Infestation** **Early detection is key to [preventing significant rodent](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/prevention-control-rodent-infestation-atlanta/) damage. Here are the** [**common signs of a rodent** **infestation**](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-rodent-infestation-removal/ "How to End My Atlanta Rodent Infestation")**:** #### **1. Identifying Rodent Droppings:** **Small, pellet-shaped droppings are often found near food sources, along walls, or** **in hidden corners.** #### **2. Gnaw Marks from Rodents:** **Rodents chew on wires, furniture, and building materials. Fresh gnaw marks are** **lighter in color and darken over time.** #### **3. Finding a Rodent’s Nests:** **Rodents build nests using shredded paper, fabric, insulation, and other materials.** **These are typically hidden in attics, walls, or storage areas.** #### **4. Scratching Noises made by Rodents:** **Hearing scratching or scurrying sounds, especially at night, is a strong indicator** **of rodent activity.** #### **5. Grease Marks left behind from Rodents:** **Rodents leave greasy smudges along walls and baseboards as they navigate** **their usual paths.** #### **6. Rodent Footprints and Tail Marks:** **In dusty areas, you may notice small footprints or long tail marks.** ## **Steps in Professional Rodent Control** **At Perimeter Wildlife Control, we follow a thorough and effective process to eliminate rodents** **and prevent their return:** **1. Inspection and Assessment:** **○ Our team conducts a detailed inspection of your property to identify entry points,** **nesting sites, and food sources. We also assess the extent of the infestation.** **2. Customized Treatment Plan:** **○ Based on the findings, we develop a tailored plan that may include traps, bait** **stations, and exclusion methods to address your specific situation.** **3. Safe Rodent Removal:** **○ We use humane traps and techniques to safely remove rodents from your home.** **For larger infestations, bait stations may be strategically placed in secured** **locations.** **4. Sealing Entry Points:** **○ All potential entry points, such as gaps in walls, vents, and foundations, are** **sealed to prevent rodents from re-entering your property.** **5. Sanitization and Cleanup:** **○ Rodent droppings and nests can harbor bacteria and parasites. We thoroughly** **clean and sanitize affected areas to ensure your home is safe and healthy.** **6. Long-Term Prevention:** **○ We provide recommendations and services to keep your property rodent-free,** **such as removing food and water sources, maintaining proper storage, and** **scheduling regular inspections.** ### **Why Choose Professional Rodent Control Over DIY Methods?** **While [DIY rodent control methods](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/why-you-should-never-diy-wildlife-removal/ "Why You Should Never DIY Wildlife Removal") like traps and poisons may seem cost-effective, they often fail** **to address the root cause of the infestation. Here’s why [professional services](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/dead-rodent-removal-services-why-should-you-hire-a-professional/) are superior:** **1. Comprehensive Approach:** **○ Professionals not only remove rodents but also identify and address the** **conditions that attracted them in the first place.** **2. Safety:** **○ Handling rodents and their droppings can expose you to diseases. Professionals** **use protective equipment and techniques to minimize risks.** **3. Efficiency:** **○ With professional-grade tools and expertise, [rodent infestations](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rodent-infestation-emergency-atlanta-georgia/) are resolved** **faster and more effectively.** **4. Prevention Expertise:** **○ Professionals can identify vulnerabilities in your property and provide long-term** **prevention strategies.** **Case Studies: Rodent Control Success Stories** #### **● Case Study 1: Mice in a Restaurant** **A local restaurant owner contacted us after finding droppings in their kitchen. Our** **inspection revealed multiple entry points and nesting areas. We implemented a tailored** **treatment plan, sealed the building, and provided ongoing monitoring to ensure a rodent-free environment.** #### **● Case Study 2: Rats in a Residential Attic** **A homeowner reported scratching noises in their attic. Our team found a [rat infestation](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rat-removal-in-roswell-ga-humane-rodent-control/)** **and safely removed the rodents using traps and exclusion techniques. The homeowner** **was provided with tips to prevent future issues, such as storing food in airtight containers** **and sealing gaps.** ## **Preventing Rodent Infestations** **Prevention is always better than cure. Here are some [tips to keep rodents out of your home](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/professional-secrets-for-diy-rodent-exclusion-1/ "Professional Secrets For A DIY Rodent Exclusion – Part 1"):** **1. Seal Entry Points:** **○ Inspect your home for gaps, cracks, and holes, and seal them with steel wool or** **caulk.** **2. Store Food Properly:** **○ Keep food in airtight containers and clean up spills immediately.** **3. Maintain Cleanliness:** **○ Regularly clean your home, especially the kitchen and dining areas.** **4. Remove Clutter:** **○ Rodents love hiding in clutter. Keep storage areas organized and dispose of** **unnecessary items.** **5. Eliminate Water Sources:** **○ Fix leaky pipes and eliminate standing water to remove a key attraction for** **rodents.** ![Rodent Control: Protecting You from Rats|Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/66437362713d3951a1029363_OPENG-1024x538.webp "Perimeter Wildlife Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control")### **Conclusion** **Rodents can cause significant damage and [health risks](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/5-health-risks-associated-with-rodent-infestation-in-atlanta/) if left unchecked.

of a Rodent Infestation ✅ TL;DR:**🐀 Rodents leave behind subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs like droppings, gnaw marks, and scampering sounds. If you spot even one, you may have a rodent problem. It’s time to call Perimeter Wildlife Control for expert 24/7 rodent removal across Metro Atlanta.** Click Here to Call Perimeter Wildlife 24/7 --- ## ⚠️ 7 Signs You Might Have a Rodent Problem Rodents are nocturnal pests that are rarely seen during the day—but they always leave a trail. Recognizing these red flags early can help you avoid costly damage, health risks, and full-blown [rodent infestations](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/infestation-vs-pests-understanding-the-difference/ "Infestation vs. Pests: Understanding the Difference"). ![7 Signs You Have a Rodent Problem | Atlanta Wildlife Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/rat-removal-roswell-1024x580.webp "rat removal roswell | Perimeter Wildlife Control")--- ### 1. 🪑 Rodent Droppings Small, dark, rice-shaped pellets near baseboards, under sinks, or around food sources mean rodents are active. Fresh droppings = a current infestation. --- ### 2. 🧀 Gnaw Marks Rats and mice chew constantly to file their teeth. Look for gnawed wood, wires, plastic, or even food packaging in pantries and cabinets. --- ### 3. 🚪 Grease Smears or Rub Marks Rodents have oily fur that leaves smudges along walls and baseboards where they travel repeatedly. This is especially common in tight crawl spaces or garage walls. --- ### 4. 👂 Scampering or Scratching Sounds Hearing scratching in the attic or walls at night? Rodents are likely nesting or traveling through your insulation, ductwork, or behind drywall. --- ### 5. 🕳️ Nesting Materials Rats and mice shred insulation, paper, fabric, and even dryer lint to build nests. Check behind appliances, in attics, garages, or basements. --- ### 6. 🐾 Footprints & Tail Marks Dusty attics and crawlspaces may reveal rodent trails. Sprinkle flour or talcum powder on the floor overnight to confirm activity. --- ### 7. 😷 Allergies or Odors Means You Have a Rodent Problem Rodent urine, dander, and droppings can cause allergic reactions and unpleasant smells. A musky odor is a strong indicator of an active infestation. --- ## 🧹 Why You Should Never Ignore These Signs Rodents aren’t just creepy—they’re dangerous. - 🦠 **Health Risks**: Rodents carry diseases like leptospirosis and hantavirus - 🔥 **Fire Hazards**: Chewed wiring can lead to electrical fires - 🏚️ **Structural Damage**: Nesting in insulation, ductwork, and walls causes thousands in repairs - 🐍 **Secondary Pests**: [Rodents attract snakes](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/snake-removal-atlanta-ga/ "Snake Removal & Snake Control"), mites, and other pests ![7 Signs You Have a Rodent Problem | Atlanta Wildlife Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Emergency-Pest-Removal-ATL-1024x581.webp "Emergency Pest Removal Atlanta | Perimeter Wildlife Control")--- ## 🛠️ Our Rodent Problem Removal Process **Perimeter Wildlife Control** has a proven, permanent solution to rodent problems: 1. **Inspect & Identify** – We pinpoint entry points, nesting areas, and activity zones 2. **Trap & Remove** – Humane, safe, and poison-free trapping methods 3. **Seal Entry Points** – Full exclusion to prevent re-entry 4. **Clean & Sanitize** – Odor neutralization and waste decontamination 5. **Monitor & Follow-Up** – Long-term protection with guaranteed results We never use rodenticide bait stations or poisons.

with a rodent infestation in Atlanta, Georgia ##### Searching for health risks associated with a rodent infestation in Atlanta? Here are 5 diseases that are caused by having a rodent problem in your home. To safeguard yourself from the detrimental effects of rodent infestation in Atlanta, learn about the health risks that arise from it. Diseases transmitted by rodents, health risks associated with rodent droppings and urine, and allergies and respiratory problems caused by [rodent infestation](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/7-signs-you-have-a-rodent-problem/) are the sub-sections that we’ll be focusing on. #### [Searching for a Rodent clearance letter in Atlanta? Click Here](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/rodent-wildlife-clearance-letters-atlanta-ga/) ![Risk Of Rodent Infestation in Atlanta | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/rat-on-ledge.webp "rat on ledge | Perimeter Wildlife Control")### Diseases transmitted by rodents Rodent-borne illnesses are a major health risk in Atlanta. Its geography and humid subtropical climate make conditions perfect for rodents to thrive. Symptoms of these illnesses include: - **Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS)**: a deadly respiratory disease spread through infected rodent urine, droppings or saliva. It can be fatal if not treated soon. - **Salmonellosis**: a bacterial infection caused by food contaminated with rat feces. It leads to diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps. - **Leptospirosis**: a dangerous bacterial disease spread through contact with water or soil with the urine of infected rodents. Symptoms include jaundice, kidney failure and more. - **Rat-bite fever**: this is caused by bacteria present in rodents’ mouths or noses. It causes headache, fever, vomiting and muscle pain. - **Plague**: a rare but deadly disease caused by **Yersinia pestis** bacteria which is carried by fleas hosted on rats. If untreated, it can kill within two days. Rodents also carry *ectoparasites like mice fleas, which lead to flea-borne typhus*. *Ignoring [rodent infestations](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/prevention-control-rodent-infestation-atlanta/) in Atlanta can have serious consequences*. In Atlanta, an old school building had an extensive [rat infestation](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/roof-rat-infestations-prevention-and-control/) due to poor management. Students came into contact with droppings and urine and many contracted HPS. For other nuisance wildlife related diseases see – [Wildlife Diseases: Dangerous Disease Transmitted by Wildlife](https://perimeterwildlife.org/wildlife-diseases-dangerous-diseases-transmitted-by-wildlife/) ### Health risks associated with rodent droppings and urine Rodents’ excrement and urine can cause serious health problems. Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome is contracted through droppings, which can lead to flu-like symptoms and even respiratory failure. Salmonella and Leptospirosis can also be passed on through feces. Plus, the odor of waste affects the air quality, leading to allergic reactions such as nausea, skin irritation, and difficulty breathing. Rodents spread their waste easily, so it’s important to keep on top of it. [Professional rodent removal services provided by Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/) alongside effective cleaning can help to reduce the risks. Regular [pest control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/pest-control-tips-guide-to-keeping-nuisance-pests-away/) inspections are a must for homes, buildings and other spaces with rodents. ### Allergies and respiratory problems caused by rodent infestation in Atlanta In Atlanta, rodents can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory distress, resulting in a spectrum of unsavory symptoms. Common reactions include difficulty breathing, sneezing, and coughing due to exposure to their urine and droppings. Severe health risks, such as asthma attacks and severe infections, may arise from close contact. Treatment for these symptoms is available; however, it’s essential to [remove the cause first: the rodents](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/dead-rodent-removal-services-why-should-you-hire-a-professional/). Rodent infestations bring about flu-like illnesses and respiratory allergies from the allergens present in their fecal matter and urine, which can cause breathing issues and sneezing fits. *Asthma attacks can also be triggered by their presence.* To avoid these risks, it’s important to keep living spaces tidy and clutter-free, as well as to regularly check for any signs of rodent activity. Additionally, homeowners should take preventive steps like sealing gaps around doors and windows or using insecticide treatments around the home’s foundation. Above all, staying vigilant about the potential for [rat or mouse infestations](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/roof-rat-infestations-prevention-and-control/) in Atlanta homes will reduce the risk of any health issues. ## Prevention and control of rodent infestation in Atlanta To prevent and [control rodent infestation in Atlanta](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/7-signs-you-have-a-rodent-problem/), you need to take action. Keep [rodents out of your home](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rodent-control-protecting-your-home-from-rodents/) by maintaining it properly. You should also rodent-proof your home using specific techniques. If you have an infestation, you can try using traps and baits for control. However, [professional rodent control services](https://www.cdc.gov/healthy-pets/rodent-control/) like Perimeter Wildlife Control, provide the most effective solution. ##### Call us at 770-369-7713 – 24/7 for Emergency Rodent Infestation Mitigation in Atlanta, GA. ![author avatar](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/cropped-Raccoon-favicon-red-cropped-650.webp) Andy Founder | CEO Andy B. is the Founder & CEO at Perimeter Wildlife Control since 2011.

Control: Exclusion & Restoration](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/buckhead-squirrel-control-exclusion/) **Published:** July 23, 2025 **Author:** Andy **Content:** ## Buckhead Squirrel Control: Exclusion & Restoration [Call Perimeter Wildlife 24/7](tel:+17703697713) Buckhead’s upscale homes and businesses are no match for Perimeter Wildlife Control’s squirrel experts. Eastern gray squirrels and southern flying squirrels often invade warm, quiet attics seeking shelter. These rodents chew through wood and tunnel through insulation, leaving droppings that pose health risks. At Perimeter Wildlife Control, a local Metro Atlanta wildlife-removal company, we offer 24/7 emergency response and a **permanent three-step solution**: [humane removal,](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rat-removal-in-roswell-ga-humane-rodent-control/) entry point sealing (wildlife exclusion), and attic insulation restoration. This approach solves squirrel problems *for good* by preventing re-entry and repairing damage. - **Step 1 – Safe Removal:** Technicians humanely trap and relocate all squirrels. - **Step 2 – Permanent Exclusion:** All entry points are secured to block future invasions. - **Step 3 – Attic Restoration:** Damaged insulation and contamination are professionally cleaned or replaced. ## Meet Your Home’s Squirrel Invaders *Eastern Gray (left) and Southern Flying Squirrels (right) are both common in North Georgia & Metro Atlanta.* ![Buckhead Squirrel Control & Exclusion | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/squirrel-on-tree.webp "squirrel on tree | Perimeter Wildlife Control")![Buckhead Squirrel Control & Exclusion | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/flying-squirrel.webp "flying squirrel | Perimeter Wildlife Control") Atlanta, GA homeowners typically face two squirrel species: **Eastern Gray Squirrels** and **Southern Flying Squirrels**. Gray squirrels are diurnal (active in daylight) and larger (about 9–12 inches body length), with bushy tails and gray fur. They gnaw on wood to enter roofs or attics and often raid bird feeders. In contrast, Southern flying squirrels are much smaller (~8–10 inches long, including tail [(Wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_flying_squirrel#:~:text=Southern%20flying%20squirrels%20have%20grey,7%C2%A0in)) and strictly nocturnal. They glide between trees using a furred membrane and prefer nesting in tree cavities, but warm attics are irresistible. Both species cache nuts and will nest in ceiling insulation if given the chance. ## Signs of a Rodent or Squirrel Problem Early detection is key. Look for: - **Noises in the Attic:** Scratching, rustling or chirping sounds. Gray squirrels make daytime noises; flying squirrels move at night ([UGA](https://extension.uga.edu/publications/detail.html?number=B1248&title=resolving-human-nuisance-wildlife-conflicts#:~:text=attic%20or%20crawl%20space%20could,day%20could%20be%20gray%20squirrels)) - **Chewed Building Materials:** Holes or gnaw marks on soffits, vents, fascia boards, or roof corners. - **Nuts and Debris:** Remnants of acorns, pecans or pine cones scattered in attic spaces or on the ground below an attic vent. - **Damaged Insulation:** Torn or soiled insulation and nesting materials tucked into corners. Any of these signs should prompt action before squirrels breed further or cause wiring fires. According to the UGA Extension Service, “Attic noise at night could be…flying squirrels or [roof rats](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rat-control-pest-removal-dunwoody-ga/ "Dunwoody Rat Control & Pest Removal"), while attic noise during the day could be gray squirrels” ([UGA](https://extension.uga.edu/publications/detail.html?number=B1248&title=resolving-human-nuisance-wildlife-conflicts#:~:text=attic%20or%20crawl%20space%20could,day%20could%20be%20gray%20squirrels)). ### How Perimeter Wildlife Removes Squirrels Perimeter Wildlife Control provides swift, [professional 24 hour emergency service](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/snake-removal-services-in-sandy-springs-ga/). Our certified technicians will inspect your structure, locate all openings, and set up *one-way exclusion traps* that allow squirrels to leave but not return or setup a [live humane animal trapping programs](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/guide-to-ga-humane-wildlife-trapping-services/ "The Essential Guide to GA Humane Wildlife Trapping Services"). We are available [24/7 for emergency wildlife removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/raccoon-removal-in-atlanta-24-7-humane-wildlife-control-by-perimeter-wildlife-control/) calls. After all animals are out of your home, Perimeter Wildlife Control permanently seals each gap using durable critter-proof materials (e.g. steel mesh, metal flashing, chimney caps). *Perimeter Wildlife Control uses [humane live traps](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/guide-to-ga-humane-wildlife-trapping-services/) for squirrels, then seals entry points afterward.* Our technicians will explain every step. We can even provide a **[certified wildlife clearance letter](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/rodent-wildlife-clearance-letters-atlanta-ga/ "Rodent & Wildlife Clearance Letters Atlanta GA")** if needed, proving the rodent infestation is resolved. Perimeter Wildlife Control, works with both **residential and commercial** clients in high-end Atlanta areas. Whether it’s a suburban home or a business property near woods, the goal is the same: keep critters out for good. ## Squirrel Exclusion & Squirrel Prevention The most permanent fix is prevention. Key exclusion and prevention measures include: - **Seal Entry Points:** Repair or replace damaged soffits, vents and wood trim. Use one-way exclusion funnels to evict squirrels before patching holes. Cap chimneys and cover gable vents with heavy-gauge wire mesh. - **Trim Trees & Branches:** Keep tree limbs and shrubs at least 8 feet from the roofline. Squirrels can jump far; trimming branches removes easy access. - **Remove Food Sources:** Secure garbage, pet food and eliminate outdoor feeders or keep them well away from structures. Squirrels are attracted to birdseed and nuts. - **Regular Inspection:** Have professionals periodically check your home for new weak spots or droppings. Early sealing of even dime-sized gaps makes a big difference. By combining physical barriers with habitat changes, Perimeter Wildlife Control ensures your property remains unattractive to squirrels. As the University of Georgia notes, good exclusion practices—like chimney caps and sturdy screens—are “likely the best option for solving nuisance wildlife problems” in the long term ([UGA](https://extension.uga.edu/publications/detail.html?number=B1248&title=resolving-human-nuisance-wildlife-conflicts#:~:text=,sparrows%2C%20European%20starlings%2C%20and%20swallows)). ![Buckhead Squirrel Control & Exclusion | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/squirrel-at-entry-point-1024x768.webp "squirrel at entry point | Perimeter Wildlife Control")### Attic Cleanup and Insulation Restoration After the squirrels are out, the job isn’t over until the attic is cleaned. Squirrels can **soil or destroy insulation**, compressing it and reducing its R-value. Their [urine and droppings can carry bacteria](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wildlife-diseases-dangerous-diseases-transmitted-by-wildlife/ "Wildlife Diseases: Dangerous Diseases Transmitted by Wildlife") (e.g. salmonella) and even parasites. Perimeter Wildlife Control’s squirrel removal process can also include *attic restoration*: removing damaged insulation, disinfecting the space, and installing fresh insulation where needed. This step restores energy efficiency and health safety to your home. As one pest-control resource explains, [failing to replace soiled insulation can leave behind harmful microorganisms and lead to higher heating/cooling costs](https://www.animalremover.com/blog/the-importance-of-attic-restoration-after-squirrel-infestation#:~:text=Squirrels%20Leave%20Behind%20Disease). ## Why Choose Perimeter Wildlife Control?

Gray squirrels are active by day; flying squirrels at night. Check for chewed openings in soffits or vents and bits of nuts in the attic. Droppings in your attic can also give a clue as to whether or not you have squirrels in your attic. Any of these signs suggests a squirrel infestation. #### **Q: What does wildlife exclusion involve?** A: Exclusion is sealing all animal entry points. Perimeter Wildlife’s technicians identify every hole (roof vents, gaps around eaves, chimneys, etc.) and install one-way exclusion doors or live humane traps. This lets squirrels exit the building but not re-enter. Once clear, holes are permanently patched – for example, adding chimney caps or wire mesh over vents per [The University of Georgia](https://extension.uga.edu/publications/detail.html?number=B1248&title=resolving-human-nuisance-wildlife-conflicts#:~:text=,sparrows%2C%20European%20starlings%2C%20and%20swallows). Proper exclusion creates a durable barrier that keeps squirrels out of your home. #### **Q: Why is attic insulation restoration important after squirrels are removed?** A: Squirrels leave behind urine, feces and nesting debris in attic insulation. This contamination can spread bacteria (like salmonella) and damage insulation performance. Restoration means professionals remove all soiled insulation, clean and disinfect the space, and replace it with new material. This restores energy efficiency and prevents health hazards after an infestation. #### **Q: Can squirrels pose a health risk to my family?** A: Direct disease transmission from squirrels to humans is rare, but their droppings and urine are unsanitary and may carry bacteria and mites. Southern flying squirrels have been associated with a rare form of typhus spread by parasite waste according to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_flying_squirrel#:~:text=Exposure%20to%20southern%20flying%20squirrels,8). To be safe, all contamination should be handled by professionals with personal protective gear during cleanup. #### **Q: How can I prevent squirrels from coming back?** A: Prevention focuses on exclusion and habitat changes. Keep trees trimmed far from your roof (8+ feet) so squirrels can’t jump onto the house. Remove or secure bird feeders and other food sources. Regularly inspect your home for new gaps, damaged vents or loose trim, and have a wildlife control pro fix them promptly. Maintaining these measures makes your home much less attractive to future squirrel intruders. ### [Contact Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/contact/ "Contact Us") ![author avatar](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/cropped-Raccoon-favicon-red-cropped-650.webp) Andy Founder | CEO Andy B. is the Founder & CEO at Perimeter Wildlife Control since 2011.

A **rodent abatement letter** is a legal document issued by a licensed [pest control or wildlife removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wildlife-pest-removal-sandy-springs/) company stating a property is free from active rodent infestations (rats, mice, etc.). Common situations that require this letter include: - **Real estate transactions** (FHA, VA, USDA, or conventional closings) - **Demolition permits** (residential or commercial) - **Renovation and construction approvals** - **Insurance or code compliance** - **Pre-sale or pre-listing requirements** Many counties and cities across Georgia now require this documentation prior to issuing a **demolition or structural permit**—particularly in older structures or urban environments where rodent displacement may occur.

Homeowners](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/4-professional-rodent-removal-secrets-for-atlanta-georgia-homeowners/) **Published:** March 2, 2020 **Author:** Andy **Content:** **TL;DR:** 🐀 Rodents are clever, destructive, and persistent. If you’re battling mice or rat control problems in Atlanta, these 4 pro-level secrets from Perimeter Wildlife Control can help you take back your home. Available 24/7 for expert, poison-free rodent removal. [***Click Here to Call Perimeter Wildlife Control 24/7***](tel:+17703697713) --- ## 🧠 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. ![4 Rodent Removal Secrets Atlanta Homeowners Must Know | 24/7 | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/rats-on-sink-1024x683.webp "rats on sink | Perimeter Wildlife Control")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. --- ## 📍 Rodent Control for Atlanta & North Georgia Homes Since 2011, Perimeter Wildlife Control proudly serves: Atlanta, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Sandy Springs, Decatur, Duluth, Suwanee, Lawrenceville, Cumming, Norcross, Brookhaven, Tucker, Chamblee, Gainesville, Woodstock, Canton, Jasper, Kennesaw, Marietta, Powder Springs, Dallas, Ball Ground, Blue Ridge, Morganton, McDonough, Stone Mountain, Douglasville, College Park, and more.

### [Should my Atlanta, GA home be "Critter Proofed"???](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/should-my-atlanta-ga-home-be-critter-proofed/) **Published:** May 18, 2014 **Author:** Andy **Content:** **TL;DR:** 🚀 Yes, wildlife exclusion or critter-proofing your Atlanta home is one of the smartest investments you can make to prevent costly wildlife intrusions. Perimeter Wildlife Control offers permanent exclusion solutions backed by 24/7 emergency service and professional repairs. [***Click Here to Call Perimeter Wildlife Control 24/7***](tel:+17703697713) --- ## 🤝 Should You Critter-Proof Your Atlanta Home? Absolutely. If you live in Atlanta or anywhere across North Georgia, wildlife intrusions are not a matter of *if*, but *when*. Squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, and even birds are all known to exploit vulnerabilities in homes to gain access to warm, safe shelter — especially attics and crawlspaces. Critter-proofing your home (also called **wildlife exclusion**) prevents these animals from ever entering in the first place. It’s not just a patch job or trap setup. It’s a long-term solution using proven structural sealing techniques that block access to any and all entry points. [![Wildlife Exclusion | Should I Critter-Proof My Atlanta Home? | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Emergency-Pest-Removal-ATL-1024x581.webp "Emergency Pest Removal Atlanta | Perimeter Wildlife Control")](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rodent-abatement-letter-in-atlanta-ga/)--- ## 📈 Why Critter-Proofing Matters - 🪨 **Health & Safety**: Wildlife carry parasites, diseases, and bacteria that can pose serious health threats (e.g., leptospirosis, hantavirus, raccoon roundworm). - 🏠 **Structural Protection**: Animals in your attic or walls chew wires, rip insulation, and can cause thousands in damage. - ⏳ **Cost Savings**: Preventing an infestation is far cheaper than handling cleanup, decontamination, and damage repairs. - 🚨 **Peace of Mind**: Knowing your home is sealed tight against pests provides security year-round. --- ## 🔧 What Areas Are Vulnerable for a Wildlife Exclusion? Even newer or recently renovated homes can have weak points. Common animal entry areas include: - Roofline gaps and gable vents - Chimney caps and attic fans - Fascia and soffit intersections - Crawlspace vents and foundation gaps - Dryer and utility line openings - Garage door seals and AC lines Perimeter Wildlife Control performs a **detailed inspection** to identify and address each of these weak spots. --- ## 🤺 What Does Our Wildlife Exclusion Service Include? 1. 🔍 **Full-Property Inspection** 2. 🚨 **Identification of Entry Points** 3. 🏡 **Sealing & Barrier Installation** (galvanized steel, critter-proof mesh, caulking, etc.) 4. 🚦 **Optional Trapping & Removal** if wildlife is currently present 5. 🚯 **Odor Control, Sanitation, & Repairs** as needed 6. ✅ **Follow-Up Checks** for quality assurance > We never use poisons or unreliable repellents. Our work is **permanent**, humane, and guaranteed. --- ## 📍 Local Wildlife Pressure in Atlanta & North Georgia Our region is one of the busiest in the Southeast for wildlife conflicts. With dense tree coverage, aging construction, and rapid development, animals are more likely to invade homes than ever before. Some of the most common intruders include: - 🐭 Rats & mice - 🐾 Squirrels (including flying squirrels) - 🦝 Raccoons - 🐽 Opossums - 🦇 Bats - 🐍 Snakes --- ## 🛍️ Residential & Commercial Wildlife Exclusion Critter-Proofing Services We provide wildlife exclusion for **homes, businesses, HOAs, rental properties, and commercial facilities** of all types. Whether it’s a historic bungalow in Decatur or a large warehouse in Alpharetta, we customize exclusion plans that deliver lasting results.

Georgia....](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/top-6-reasons-snakes-activity-is-on-the-rise-atlanta-ga/) **Published:** April 30, 2014 **Author:** Andy **Content:** **TL;DR:** 🐍 Snake activity is rising in Atlanta due to a mix of urban sprawl, weather shifts, and increasing rodent populations. Perimeter Wildlife Control provides 24/7 emergency snake removal for homes and businesses across Metro Atlanta. [***Click Here to Call Perimeter Wildlife 24/7***](tel:17703697713) --- ## 🐍 Why Snake Sightings Are Increasing in Atlanta Snakes aren’t just a rural problem anymore — they’re making their way into urban neighborhoods, garages, basements, backyards, and even commercial properties. But why now? Here are the **top 6 reasons** we’re seeing more snakes in Atlanta and North Georgia. ![6 Reasons Snake Activity is Rising in Atlanta GA | Pro Guide | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/water-mocassin-coiled-1024x683.webp "water mocassin coiled | Perimeter Wildlife Control")--- ## 1. Warmer Weather, Longer Seasons ☀️ Atlanta’s milder winters and earlier springs give snakes a longer active season. They’re cold-blooded and thrive in heat, so warmer days = more movement = more encounters with people. --- ## 2. Urban Development & Habitat Displacement 🏠 Construction, deforestation, and expansion push snakes out of the woods and into neighborhoods. New subdivisions near creeks, forests, or vacant lots see a sharp rise in sightings. --- ## 3. High Rodent Populations 🐁 Rodents are a major food source for snakes. More rats and mice in your attic, crawlspace, or yard = a greater chance snakes will follow them in. --- ## 4. Excessive Rain & Flooding ☔️ Flooded burrows and drenched ground can force snakes to seek higher ground. That means under porches, inside basements, garages, and even wall voids. --- ## 5. Landscaping & Yard Features 🌿 Mulch beds, stone walls, retaining walls, woodpiles, and decorative water features attract both rodents and snakes. If your yard has lots of cover, you might be creating the perfect hiding spots. --- ## 6. Lack of Snake-Proofing or Exclusion ❌ Most Atlanta-area homes aren’t sealed against wildlife. Snakes can enter through tiny gaps near foundation vents, pipes, AC lines, soffits, and crawlspace doors. Without professional exclusion, you’re wide open to infestations. --- ## ⚠️ How to Protect Your Home or Business - Keep grass trimmed low and bushes pruned - Remove woodpiles, rock piles, and debris - Repair holes in foundations, vents, and walls - Get rid of rodents — fast - Call professionals for wildlife exclusion and deterrents Perimeter Wildlife Control offers full snake prevention, trapping, and exclusion services.

Click Here to Call Perimeter Wildlife 24/7 --- ## ⚡ Venomous Snake Removal Tips for Georgia Property Owners Georgia has more than 40 species of snakes, but only **six are venomous**. These include copperheads, cottonmouths (aka water moccasins), eastern diamondback rattlesnakes, timber rattlesnakes, pygmy rattlesnakes, and the rare eastern coral snake. Most bites occur when people **accidentally disturb a snake**. If you live in metro Atlanta or North Georgia, **snake activity spikes in spring, summer, and early fall**. Residential yards, [commercial properties](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/commercial-pest-removal-atlanta-georgia/ "Commercial Pest Removal & Rodent Control | Atlanta GA"), trails, barns, sheds, basements, and crawlspaces can all be habitats. Perimeter Wildlife Control offers **24/7 snake removal services**, including **emergency response**, full inspections, trapping, and exclusion. --- ## 🔍 How to Identify Venomous Snakes in Georgia Here’s a quick visual breakdown of Georgia’s venomous snakes: SnakeVenom TypeDistinct Features**Copperhead**HemotoxicHourglass bands, copper-colored head**Cottonmouth**HemotoxicThick body, white mouth, swims aggressively**Timber Rattlesnake**HemotoxicDark bands, large rattle, prefers wooded areas**Eastern Diamondback**HemotoxicDiamond patterns, very large, dry pine forests**Pygmy Rattlesnake**HemotoxicSmall, speckled body, tiny rattle**Eastern Coral Snake**NeurotoxicRed/yellow/black stripes, slender, secretive📢 *“Red touch yellow, kill a fellow.

Our licensed techs will inspect your property, trap the snake if needed, and provide recommendations to prevent future visits. We service **homes, businesses, farms, and industrial sites**. --- ## 🏛️ Common Snake Entry Points Around Atlanta Homes Snakes can squeeze into incredibly tight spaces. We commonly find them entering through: - Foundation cracks or crawlspace vents - Basement doors and ground-level windows - HVAC gaps and utility entry holes - Gaps in decks, porches, and sheds - Attics (yes, some climb!) --- ## ✅ Venomous Snake Prevention Tips for Georgia Property Owners - Keep lawns trimmed and landscaping neat - Remove debris piles, firewood, and thick ground cover - Seal gaps larger than ¼ inch around foundations - Use snake fencing or exclusion barriers - Eliminate rodent food sources - Install door sweeps and vent screens We can inspect, identify risks, and implement **snake-proofing solutions**. --- ## ⚠️ Dangerous Myths About Snakes in Georgia - **“All snakes are aggressive.”** False. Most want to avoid you. - **“Snakes always live near water.”** Not true — they adapt. - **“Baby snakes aren’t dangerous.”** Extremely false. Some carry just as much venom. - **“You can kill any snake on your property.”** Illegal in Georgia unless it poses an immediate threat. Avoid DIY solutions like mothballs, sulfur, or commercial snake sprays — **they don’t work reliably**. --- ## 👊 Why Choose Perimeter Wildlife Control? - ⏰ 24/7 Emergency Response - 💼 Licensed Snake Removal Specialists - 🛋 Residential, Commercial, and Industrial - ✅ Humane, Legal, and Effective Methods - 📊 Guaranteed Service Area Coverage We have proudly served the metro since 2011 including: Atlanta, Alpharetta, Decatur, Sandy Springs, Duluth, Dunwoody, Johns Creek, Gainesville, Jasper, Canton, Woodstock, Lawrenceville, Brookhaven, Tucker, Norcross, Chamblee, Cumming, Suwanee, McDonough, Stone Mountain, College Park, Douglasville, Blue Ridge, Ball Ground, Dallas, Powder Springs, and more.

2019 **Author:** Andy **Content:** **DIY Bat Exclusion Guide: How to Remove Bats in 6 Steps** **TL;DR:** Learn how to perform a safe and humane bat exclusion in 6 steps. This guide from Perimeter Wildlife Control outlines when to seal, how to use one-way devices, and when to call a professional. --- ### What Is a Bat Exclusion? A **bat exclusion** is the humane process of evicting bats from a structure without harming them, followed by [sealing all entry points to prevent re-entry](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-exclusion-atlanta-ga/ "Wildlife Exclusion Repair Service Atlanta GA"). This process is especially important in Georgia, where bats are a protected species and must not be killed or trapped. --- ### When Should You Perform a Bat Exclusion? In Georgia, bat exclusions should only be performed **outside of the maternity season**—typically **April 30th to August 15th**. During spring and early summer, baby bats (pups) may be present and unable to fly, making exclusions dangerous and illegal. **Best Months:** Late August through early October is ideal. --- ### Tools & Supplies You’ll Need - Ladder and safety harness - Flashlight or headlamp - Caulk and foam sealant - Hardware cloth or mesh - One-way bat cones or exclusion tubes - Binoculars or camera for distance inspection --- ### Step-by-Step: How to Perform a DIY Bat Exclusion #### **1. Inspect and Identify All Entry Points** Bats can squeeze through openings as small as 1/4 inch. Focus on areas like: - Rooflines, soffits, fascia boards - Gable vents and ridge vents - Chimneys and attic louvers Use binoculars or cameras to observe bat activity near dusk. #### **2. Wait for Maternity Season to End** Never attempt exclusion when flightless pups may be present (May to mid-August). Wait until all bats can safely leave on their own. #### **3. Install One-Way Exclusion Devices** Place **bat cones or exclusion tubes** at the most active entry points. These allow bats to exit but block reentry. - Do not seal holes yet - Leave devices up for at least 5–7 nights #### **4. Seal Secondary Openings** Use caulk, foam, or wire mesh to close up all non-active gaps and cracks. This ensures bats don’t relocate within the structure. #### **5. Monitor for Continued Bat Activity** Keep watch for several nights after exclusion devices are installed. No visible bat activity = it’s working. If bats reappear, re-inspect for missed entry points. #### **6. Remove Devices and Seal Final Entry Points** Once you’re confident all bats are gone: - Remove exclusion cones - Permanently seal those final holes - Consider attic sanitation or odor treatments if guano was present [![DIY Bat Exclusion In 6 Easy Steps | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/05-25-Bat-Season-in-Atlanta-GA.webp "Bat-Season-in-Atlanta-GA | Perimeter Wildlife Control")](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/effective-bat-control-services-atlanta-ga/)--- ### Why Trapping or Poisoning Is Never an Option - **Illegal**: Killing bats violates both **state** and **federal** wildlife laws - **Dangerous**: Dead bats can introduce **secondary infestations** and health risks - **Ineffective**: New bats may replace those removed unless exclusion is properly done --- ### When Should You Call a Professional? While small exclusions may be manageable for a homeowner, you should call a [licensed wildlife control expert](http://perimeterwildlife.com) when: - You find multiple entry points or structural issues - Bats are seen flying inside the living space - Guano buildup is present (a sign of long-term roosting) - You’re unsure of legal timing or procedures 📞 **Contact Perimeter Wildlife Control**: [770-369-7713](tel:17703697713) We offer 24-hour emergency bat removal and wildlife exclusion across **Greater Atlanta**, including **residential**, **commercial**, and **industrial** properties. --- ### Related Services You May Need: - [Professional Bat Removal in Atlanta](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/bat-removal-atlanta-ga/ "Bat Removal & Bat Exclusion") - [Attic Insulation Restoration](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/pest-animal-decontamination-atlanta-ga/ "Pest & Animal Decontamination Atlanta GA") - [Animal Entry Point Sealing Services](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/commercial-wildlife-exclusion-protecting-your-business/ "Commercial Wildlife Exclusion: Protecting Your Business") --- ### Knowledge Graph – FAQs **Is it legal to remove bats myself in Georgia?** Yes, but only during certain times of the year. Exclusions must follow humane practices and cannot take place during bat maternity season (May–August). **What time of year is best for bat exclusions in Georgia?** The best time is **mid-August to early fall**, when young bats can fly and prepare for migration or hibernation. **Do I need a permit to remove bats?** Generally no for exclusions, but permits may be required if removal is attempted during restricted seasons or for specific species. **How long does the exclusion process take?** Most exclusions take **7–10 days**, including observation time. **What if bats return after sealing?** If you miss even a small gap, bats can reenter. This is why **professional exclusion** with full sealing and monitoring is recommended. --- **Need Help Now?** Perimeter Wildlife Control is standing by for emergency bat removal and 24/7 response. **📍 Based in Woodstock, GA – Serving All Metro Atlanta** **📞 [770-369-7713](tel:17703697713)** **🌐** [**perimeterwildlifecontrol.com**](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com) ![DIY Bat Exclusion In 6 Easy Steps | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/QR-Logo-Banner-1024x287.webp "QR Logo Banner | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ![author avatar](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/cropped-Raccoon-favicon-red-cropped-650.webp) Andy Founder | CEO Andy B. is the Founder & CEO at Perimeter Wildlife Control since 2011.

Georgia](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rodent-infestation-emergency-atlanta-georgia/) **Published:** December 11, 2015 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Rodent Infestations in Atlanta, Georgia ## Searching for Rodent Infestations in Atlanta, Georgia? Perimeter Wildlife Control is “Atlanta’s 24/7 Wildlife Service!!” ### [Rats](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wildlife-pest-removal-holly-springs/), mice & other members of the rodent family including [squirrels](https://perimeterwildlife.com/critters/squirrel-control-atlanta-ga/) & [bats](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/bat-removal-atlanta-ga/), are carriers of more than 35 known diseases. These rodents are frequently a nuisance to home & property owners in the Atlanta, GA area. The damages that rodents can cause are not only limited to disease but also cause untold damage to your property (ie: chewing electrical wiring, soiled attic insulation, etc.). Often the first sign of any [rodent infestation in Atlanta](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rodent-infestation-emergency-atlanta-georgia/ "Rodent Infestations in Atlanta, Georgia") is signs of droppings. These can be accompanied by scratching noises and even sightings of a rat or a mouse inside your home. At the first sign of a rodent infestation, a 24/7 emergency service call to Perimeter Wildlife Control @ 770-369-7713 can put you on the right track to ridding your home or building of rodents permanently with a [wildlife exclusion](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/services/wildlife-exclusion-atlanta-ga/), animal trapping program, or other service. ![Rodent Infestations in Atlanta, Georgia| Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/flying-squirrel.webp "flying squirrel | Perimeter Wildlife Control")## RODENTS AND DISEASE During the middle ages rats carried the Bubonic Plague and caused untold damage to human lives. Although the plague has long since been eradicated in the Western World, there are still other diseases that [rats and mice & other rodents](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlantas-troublsome-critters-rats-mice-squirrels/) can carry & transmit to humans in the present day including: - [Hantavirus](https://perimeterwildlife.com/critters/rat-control-atlanta-ga/) - [Histoplasmosis](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wildlife-diseases-dangerous-diseases-transmitted-by-wildlife/ "Wildlife Diseases: Dangerous Diseases Transmitted by Wildlife") - [Rabies](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/bat-removal-atlanta-ga/ "Bat Removal & Bat Exclusion") - [Respiratory Infections](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/rat-control-atlanta-ga/) Diseases can be carried in one of two different ways, the first is through contact with the waste (ie: [droppings, urine, nesting materials](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/pest-animal-decontamination-atlanta-ga/)) rodents leave behind, just about anywhere they go. The second way is through parasites that rodents bring into the home. Parasites that the rodent can bring into the home include: - Ticks - Fleas - Mites - Keeping in my mind these parasites can also carry their own slew diseases There are many ways that you can get rid of rodents in your Atlanta, GA home but [critter trapping](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-animal-trapping-and-removal-atlanta-ga/) only deals with the rodents themselves and not their mess. In addition to leaving your attic with soiled insulation & rodent droppings anywhere that they have travelled, the [entry points](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-animal-removal-blog/) that the rodents used to enter the structure is left unsealed for other rodents or critters to get into your attic, crawlspace, or basement. Only a professional [animal removal service in Atlanta, Georgia](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-animal-removal-blog/) such as Perimeter Wildlife Control can get to the heart of the problem and ensure your home remains wildlife free long after the rodent infestation has been taken care of. ![Rodent Infestations in Atlanta, Georgia| Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/rats-on-sink-1024x683.webp "rats on sink | Perimeter Wildlife Control")#### RODENT REMOVAL IN ATLANTA, GA Many [Atlanta, GA pest control services](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/emergency-pest-removal-24-hours/ "Emergency Pest Removal Service") will only eradicate the problem (animal trapping) but not the root cause, which is sealing the structure (wildlife exclusion) & cleaning up the rodent droppings, as well as [sanitizing & decontaminating](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/pest-animal-decontamination-atlanta-ga/) any areas the rodents where able to access. If the [wildlife exclusion service](https://perimeterwildlife.com/services/wildlife-exclusion-atlanta-ga/) is not properly conducted & the scent of the animals continues to attract more animals the [rodent infestations in Atlanta](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/understanding-rodent-certification-letters/ "Understanding Rodent Certification Letters") will occur continuously.

Georgia](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rodent-clearance-letter-in-georgia/) **Published:** September 25, 2023 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Rodent Clearance Letter in Georgia ## Searching for a Rodent Clearance Letter in Georgia? Perimeter Wildlife Control specializes in Certified Rodent Clearance letters for demolition, real estate sales and more. ### What is a Rodent Clearance Letter in Georgia? A rodent clearance letter is a certified document issued by a professional pest removal company or [professional wildlife control company in Georgia](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/). The purpose of the letter is to provide assurance of “rodent clearance” within a structure. Most commonly it is needed by the county or city for construction projects, demolitions, remodels, or expansions. Your building permit may not be issued until the building departments have your rodent clearance letter in Georgia. ### Why do I need a Rodent Clearance Letter in GA? The need for a rodent clearance letter is mainly a public health concern. [Rodents carry numerous diseases](https://www.cdc.gov/rat-bite-fever/index.html). A property that has been abandoned for an extended amount of time could potentially become [infested with rodents](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/prevention-control-rodent-infestation-atlanta/). If the rodents are not eradicated prior to demolition, there stands a good chance that the animals will scatter to neighboring properties. This then poses the [problem of rodent](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/7-signs-you-have-a-rodent-problem/) related diseases being spread. If the rodents are left to find new homes or are not properly trapped & removed, it would almost certainly lead to numerous [rodent infested structures](https://perimeterwildlife.org/7-signs-you-have-a-rodent-problem/) nearby. For this reason multiple counties and cities in the Metro Atlanta area are requiring a rodent clearance letter for building permit issuance. Check with your local permit office for requirements. Real estate sales is another potential reason to require a rodent clearance letter in Georgia. Sometimes the [clearance letters](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/rodent-wildlife-clearance-letters-atlanta-ga/) are required by mortgage companies or even the buyer of the property in question. ![Rodent Clearance Letter in Georgia | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/norway-rat-in-pipe.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control") ### What is the process to get a Rodent Clearance Letter in Georgia? The process to get your rodent clearance letter is mostly straight forward. The rodent clearance process normally requires a rodent inspection and a rodent trapping program. During the rodent trapping program the traps will be monitored & checked for rodent activity. Trapped [rodents will be removed](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/understanding-rodent-certification-letters/) & monitoring continues for a period of 2-4 weeks. Upon the completion of a rodent trapping program, the rodent clearance letter will be issued. ## Perimeter Wildlife Control issues your Rodent Clearance Letters in Georgia!

Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/roof-rat-infestations-prevention-and-control/) **Published:** January 26, 2025 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Roof Rat Infestations: Prevention and Control Roof rats, also known as black rats or ship rats, are a common pest that can cause significant damage to homes and businesses. These agile rodents are excellent climbers, often accessing buildings through roofs, attics, and upper floors. Once inside, they can create nests, contaminate food sources, and gnaw on electrical wiring, leading to costly repairs and potential [health risks](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/5-health-risks-associated-with-rodent-infestation-in-atlanta/). In this comprehensive blog post, we’ll delve into everything you need to know about roof rat infestations, including how to identify them, effective prevention strategies, control methods, and when to call in professional help. ![Roof Rat Infestations: Prevention & Control|Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/rats-eating-books-1024x683.webp "rats eating books | Perimeter Wildlife Control")## What Are Roof Rats? Roof rats (Rattus rattus) are medium-sized rodents that are typically dark brown or black, with a lighter belly and a long, scaly tail. Unlike their cousin, the Norway rat, roof rats have a slender body and large ears, which makes them well-suited for climbing and living in elevated areas. They are nocturnal creatures, meaning they are most active at night, and they tend to be cautious, making them difficult to catch or trap. ### Signs of a Roof Rat Infestation Identifying a roof rat infestation early is crucial to preventing extensive damage and mitigating health risks. Here are some common signs that you might have a roof rat problem: 1. **Droppings**: Roof rat droppings are typically dark, about half an inch long, and have pointed ends. You might find these droppings in attics, roof spaces, and along walls or rafters. 2. **Gnaw Marks**: Roof rats have a constant need to gnaw to keep their teeth sharp and short. You may notice gnaw marks on electrical wires, wooden beams, pipes, and other materials. 3. **Noises**: Since roof rats are nocturnal, you may hear scratching or scurrying noises in the walls or attic at night. 4. **Nests**: Roof rats build nests from shredded paper, insulation, fabric, and other soft materials. These nests are often found in attics, ceiling voids, and other high places. 5. **Grease Marks**: As roof rats navigate around your home, their oily fur can leave greasy smudge marks on walls and beams, particularly along their regular paths. 6. **Footprints and Tail Marks**: In dusty or muddy areas, you might see tiny footprints and long, sweeping tail marks. ## Dangers of Roof Rat Infestations Roof rat infestations can pose several dangers to both property and health: 1. **Structural Damage**: Roof rats can chew through a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, and even some metals. This behavior can weaken the structural integrity of your home or business, leading to costly repairs. 2. **Fire Hazards**: By gnawing on electrical wiring, roof rats can increase the risk of electrical fires. 3. **Health Risks**: Roof rats are known carriers of diseases such as leptospirosis, salmonella, and rat-bite fever. They can contaminate food and water sources, posing serious health risks to humans and pets. 4. **Secondary Pests**: Roof rat infestations can attract other pests, such as mites, fleas, and ticks, which can further complicate pest control efforts and pose additional health risks. ### Prevention Strategies for Roof Rat Infestations Preventing roof rats from entering your property is the most effective way to avoid an infestation. Here are some strategies to help keep your home or business rodent-free: 1. **Seal Entry Points**: Inspect your property for potential entry points, such as gaps in roofing, vents, and around utility lines. Seal these openings with rodent-proof materials like metal mesh or steel wool. 2. **Trim Trees and Shrubs**: Roof rats often use tree branches and shrubs to access roofs and attics. Keep trees and shrubs trimmed away from the building to reduce access. 3. **Eliminate Food Sources**: Store food in airtight containers, clean up spills promptly, and keep trash in sealed bins. Reducing accessible food sources will make your property less attractive to roof rats. 4. **Remove Nesting Sites**: Clear out clutter in attics, garages, and storage areas where roof rats could build nests. Regularly inspect these areas for signs of nesting materials. 5. **Maintain a Clean Yard**: Keep your yard clean and free of debris, fallen fruit, and compost piles, which can attract roof rats. ![Roof Rat Infestations: Prevention & Control|Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/rodent-nest-in-wall-1024x768.webp "rodent nest in wall | Perimeter Wildlife Control")### Control Methods for Roof Rat Infestations If you suspect a roof rat infestation, taking immediate action is crucial to minimize damage and health risks. Here are some [effective control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/?p=7666) methods: 1. **Traps**: Snap traps, live traps, and electronic traps can be effective for catching roof rats. Place traps in areas where you’ve noticed activity, such as along walls, in attics, or near food sources. 2. **Bait Stations**: Rodent bait stations can be used to poison roof rats, but they must be placed carefully to avoid accidental poisoning of pets or non-target wildlife. It’s important to follow all safety instructions when using rodenticides. 3. **Ultrasonic Devices**: Some people use ultrasonic devices to deter roof rats. These devices emit high-frequency sound waves that are supposed to repel rodents. However, their effectiveness is debated, and they should be used in conjunction with other proven control methods. 4. **Repellents**: Natural repellents, such as peppermint oil, can deter roof rats, but they are generally less effective than traps and baits. These should be used as part of a broader pest management strategy. ## When to Call In a Professional Rodent Control Service While DIY methods can sometimes manage a minor roof rat problem, a professional pest control service is often necessary for severe infestations or if you want to ensure complete removal and prevention. Here’s when you should consider calling in the professionals: 1. **Persistent Infestation**: If you’ve tried DIY methods and still notice signs of roof rats, it’s time to call a professional. [Pest control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/emergency-pest-removal-in-atlanta/ "Emergency Pest Removal in Atlanta") experts have the knowledge and tools to effectively eliminate roof rat populations. 2. **Extensive Property Damage**: If you notice significant damage to your property, such as chewed wires, structural damage, or contaminated food stores, a professional can assess the situation and recommend the best course of action. 3. **Health Concerns**: Roof rats carry diseases that can pose serious health risks to you, your family, and your pets. If you have concerns about potential disease transmission, a professional pest control service can help safely remove the rats and decontaminate affected areas. 4. **Preventive Measures**: Professionals can also provide guidance on preventing future infestations, such as identifying and sealing entry points, setting up ongoing monitoring, and implementing a comprehensive pest management plan. ### Conclusion Roof rat infestations are more than just a nuisance—they can cause significant property damage and pose serious health risks.

Understanding Rodent Certification Letters When it comes to maintaining a safe and healthy environment, particularly in areas prone to rodent infestations. Rodent certification letters can be a crucial document. Whether you’re a homeowner, a business owner, or a property manager. It is important to understand what a rodent certification letter are. As well as why it matters can help protect your property. The damaging effects of rodents can be detrimental. ### Rodent Certification Letters, do I need one? A rodent certification letter is an official document provided by a licensed pest control company. It verifies a property has been inspected & treated for rodent activity. This certification confirms that the property is free of a [rodent infestation](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/prevention-control-rodent-infestation-atlanta/). While certifying that any previous rodent issues have been adequately addressed and resolved. The letter typically includes details about the inspection. Areas examined, any [signs of rodent](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/7-signs-you-have-a-rodent-problem/) activity found, and the measures taken to eliminate the problem.‍ ![What Are Rodent Certification Letters |Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/rat-on-power-pack-1024x683.webp "rat on power pack | Perimeter Wildlife Control")## Why Do You Need Rodent Certification Letters? 1. **Real Estate Transactions**: - When buying or selling a property, rodent certification letters are often required by lenders. Buyers may also request one to ensure the property is free from [rodent infestations](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rodent-infestation-emergency-atlanta-georgia/). This certification can help facilitate a smooth transaction by providing peace of mind to all parties involved. 2. **Compliance with Local Regulations**: - In many areas, particularly in cities like Atlanta, Marietta, and Decatur, local health departments or housing authorities may require rodent certification letters as part of property maintenance regulations. Ensuring your property is certified can help you avoid fines or other penalties. 3. **Property Management**: - For property managers, a rodent certification letter is an essential document that helps demonstrate due diligence in maintaining a rodent-free environment. This can be particularly important in multi-family residential buildings, commercial properties, and rental units. 4. **Tenant Requests**: - Tenants may request a rodent certification letter as part of their lease agreement, particularly in areas where rodent activity is common. Providing this certification can help build trust and satisfaction with your tenants, reducing turnover and complaints. 5. **Renovations and Construction**: - Before starting major renovations or construction on a property, a rodent certification letter ensures that the area is free from rodents that could interfere with the work. It also prevents rodents from being displaced and causing issues in neighboring properties. ### What Does the Inspection Process Involve? The process of obtaining rodent certification letters begins with a thorough inspection of the property by a licensed pest control professional. Here’s what you can expect during the inspection: 1. **Interior and Exterior Examination**: - The inspector will examine both the interior and exterior of the property, looking for signs of rodent activity such as droppings, gnaw marks, nests, and burrows. 2. **Assessment of Entry Points**: - The inspector will identify potential entry points where rodents could gain access to the property, such as gaps in walls, broken vents, and unsealed doors and windows. 3. **Rodent Control Measures**: - If rodent activity is found, the pest control company will take appropriate measures to eliminate the infestation. This may include trapping, baiting, sealing entry points, and providing recommendations for preventive measures. 4. **Issuance of Certification**: - Once the inspection is complete and any rodent issues have been resolved, the pest control company will issue a rodent certification letter, detailing the inspection findings and the steps taken to ensure the property is rodent-free. ### How to Choose a Pest Control Company for Rodent Certification When seeking a rodent certification letter, it’s important to work with a reputable and licensed pest control company. Keep in mind that not all pest removal companies can provide you with a [rodent clearance letter](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/rodent-wildlife-clearance-letters-atlanta-ga/ "Rodent & Wildlife Clearance Letters Atlanta GA").

A rodent certification letter is an official document provided by a licensed pest control company that verifies a property has been inspected for rodent activity. This certification confirms that the property is free of [rodent infestations](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-rodent-infestation-removal/) or that any previous rodent issues have been adequately addressed and resolved. Here’s what a typical rodent certification letter might include: ##### 1. **Inspection Details**: - **Scope of Inspection**: The letter outlines the specific areas of the property that were inspected. This could include basements, attics, kitchens, storage areas, exterior perimeters, and any other places where rodents are likely to nest or find food. A thorough inspection is crucial for ensuring that no part of the property is overlooked. - **Date of Inspection**: The date when the inspection was conducted is included. This is important because rodent activity can reoccur, and knowing the timing of the inspection helps determine the relevance and validity of the certification. ##### 2. **Signs of Rodent Activity**: - **Evidence Found**: The letter will detail any signs of rodent activity that were observed during the inspection. This could include droppings, gnaw marks, nests, or the presence of live or [dead rodents](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/dead-rodent-removal-services-why-should-you-hire-a-professional/). Identifying these signs is essential for determining the extent of the infestation. - **Areas of Concern**: If any specific areas of the property showed signs of rodent activity, these would be highlighted in the letter. This allows property owners to be aware of vulnerable spots that might require ongoing monitoring or additional preventive measures. ##### 3. **Measures Taken**: - **Remediation Actions**: If rodent activity was detected, the letter would describe the steps taken to eliminate the infestation. This could involve setting traps, sealing entry points, applying rodenticides, or other [pest control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/pest-control-tips-guide-to-keeping-nuisance-pests-away/) methods. The effectiveness of these measures is key to ensuring that the property remains rodent-free. - **Preventive Recommendations**: The pest control company may also provide recommendations for preventing future infestations. This could include suggestions for improving sanitation, repairing structural issues, or implementing regular monitoring programs. These proactive steps are vital for long-term rodent control. ##### 4. **Certification Statement**: - **Declaration of Rodent-Free Status**: The letter will include a statement declaring that, based on the inspection and any remediation performed, the property is currently free of rodent infestations. This certification is often required by regulatory agencies, real estate transactions, or as part of leasing agreements, especially in areas where rodent activity is a known issue. - **Validity Period**: Some rodent certification letters may specify a period during which the certification is considered valid. This is important for buyers, tenants, or regulatory bodies to know, as it indicates how recent the inspection and remediation were conducted. ##### 5. **Pest Control Company Information**: - **Licensed Professional’s Details**: The letter will include the name, license number, and contact information of the pest control professional who conducted the inspection. This ensures that the certification is credible and can be trusted by all parties involved. - **Company Credentials**: Details about the pest control company, including its licensing and certifications, may also be included to provide further assurance of the quality and reliability of the inspection and remediation services. ## Why Rodent Certification Letters Matter Rodent certification letters serve several important purposes: - **Regulatory Compliance**: In some areas, especially in urban environments or where there is a high risk of rodent infestations, regulatory bodies may require properties to have a rodent-free certification. This is particularly common in food service establishments, rental properties, and commercial buildings. - **Real Estate Transactions**: When buying or selling a property, a rodent certification letter can provide peace of mind to both parties. For sellers, it demonstrates that the property is free of infestations, potentially increasing its market value. For buyers, it ensures that they won’t inherit a rodent problem with their new purchase. ##### Additional uses for Rodent Clearance Letters - **Tenant and Lease Agreements**: Landlords often need to provide rodent certification letters to tenants, particularly in areas prone to infestations. This helps protect tenants from the health risks associated with rodents and ensures that the property is safe for occupancy. - **Public Health and Safety**: Rodents can carry diseases and cause significant damage to property. A rodent certification letter not only protects property values but also safeguards the health and well-being of those who live or work in the building. - **Legal Protection**: In some cases, having a rodent certification letter can protect property owners from legal liability if a tenant or buyer later claims that they were not informed about a rodent problem. ‍ Obtaining a rodent certification letter is a crucial step in maintaining the integrity, safety, and value of your property. By [working with a licensed pest control professional,](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/4-professional-rodent-removal-secrets-for-atlanta-georgia-homeowners/) you can ensure that your property is thoroughly inspected, any issues are promptly addressed, and you have the necessary documentation to prove it.

removal](https://perimeterwildlife.com/should-my-atlanta-ga-home-be-critter-proofed/). Fluctuations in temperatures can confuse animals as much as it does us humans. Cooler & rainy fall nights can always entice rats, [squirrels](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/buckhead-squirrel-control-exclusion/ "Buckhead Squirrel Control: Exclusion & Restoration"), [snakes](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/top-6-reasons-snakes-activity-is-on-the-rise-atlanta-ga/), [raccoon](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/raccoon-control-atlanta-ga/ "Raccoons Trapping & Removal"), opossums, [bats](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/bat-season-in-atlanta-ga-why-bats-are-looking-for-a-way-inside/ "Bat Season in Atlanta, GA: Why Bats Are Looking for a Way Inside") & just about any animal to want to enter a home for a warm dry place. As the weather turns colder you are almost guaranteed to need emergency wildlife removal when [wildlife is entering your home](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/rat-control-atlanta-ga/). ### So what emergency animal removal can you do to keep animals out of your home???

Business](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/commercial-wildlife-exclusion-protecting-your-business/) **Published:** June 26, 2025 **Author:** Andy **Content:** ## **Commercial Wildlife Exclusion: Protecting Your Business** Commercial Wildlife Exclusion is necessary in protecting your Atlanta, Georgia business. Wildlife intrusions aren’t just a problem for homeowners — they can also cause serious issues for businesses. Whether it’s birds nesting in signage, [rodents in storage areas](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-rodent-infestation-removal/ "Commercial Rodent Control"), or raccoons damaging outdoor trash enclosures, wildlife can disrupt operations, damage property, and even harm your business’s reputation. ![Commercial Wildlife Exclusion | Perimeter Wildlife Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/trash-bag-rats-1024x683.webp "trash bag rats | Perimeter Wildlife Control")**At Perimeter Wildlife Control, we specialize in wildlife exclusion services tailored for commercial properties, ensuring your business remains safe, clean, and operational.** ### **Why Commercial Wildlife Exclusion is Essential for Businesses** #### **1. Commercial Wildlife Exclusion Helps Prevent Property Damage:** Wildlife can cause extensive damage to commercial buildings, including chewing wires, blocking vents, or nesting in insulation. #### **2. Protect Health and Safety with a Commercial Wildlife Exclusion:** Animal droppings, urine, and nesting materials can create [health risks](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wildlife-diseases-dangerous-diseases-transmitted-by-wildlife/ "Wildlife Diseases: Dangerous Diseases Transmitted by Wildlife") for employees and customers, spreading diseases such as salmonella or hantavirus. See the Center for Disease Control’s article regarding [Bird Influenza](https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/prevention/hpai-interim-recommendations.html). #### **3. Maintain Your Reputation with a Professional Wildlife Exclusion:** A visible wildlife issue, such as birds roosting or rodents scurrying near your entrance, can deter customers and harm your business’s image. #### **4. Wildlife Exclusion Helps Avoid Regulatory Violations:** Wildlife issues can lead to sanitation or safety code violations, especially for food service businesses. ### **Common Wildlife Issues for Commercial Properties** #### **1. Bird Roosting and Nesting:** Birds often nest in signage, ledges, or HVAC systems, leading to droppings and debris that can clog equipment, drains, vents, or create slip hazards. #### **2. Rodent Infestations:** Mice and rats are drawn to food storage areas, dumpsters, or small openings in commercial buildings. #### **3. Raccoons in Dumpsters:** Raccoons often scavenge in commercial trash areas, creating messes and contaminating waste. #### **4. Bats in Warehouses:** Large open spaces like warehouses can attract bats, leading to guano accumulation and contamination. ![Commercial Wildlife Exclusion | Perimeter Wildlife Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pigeons-on-ledge.webp "pigeons on ledge | Perimeter Wildlife Control")### **Commercial Wildlife Exclusion Solutions for Businesses** **At Perimeter Wildlife Control, we offer tailored exclusion strategies for various wildlife threats:** #### **1. Bird Netting and Spikes:** Perimeter Wildlife Control installs bird deterrents such as netting or spikes to prevent roosting and nesting. #### **2. Sealing Entry Points:** Small openings, such as vents, pipes, or gaps in walls, are sealed to keep rodents and other wildlife out. #### **3. Trash Area Protection:** We secure dumpsters, trash compactors, and outdoor trash areas with wildlife-proof barriers to deter scavengers like raccoons or opossums. #### **4. HVAC and Vent Protection:** Covers and screens are installed to block wildlife from accessing HVAC systems or vents. #### **5. Regular Inspections & Guaranteed Exclusion Repairs:** Ongoing yearly inspections ensure your property remains secure and wildlife-free. ### **Benefits of Professional Wildlife Exclusion for Businesses** #### **1. Protect Your Investment:** Exclusion services prevent costly damage to buildings, equipment, and inventory. #### **2. Ensure Compliance:** Professionals ensure your property adheres to health and safety regulations. #### **3. Minimize Downtime:** Quick and effective solutions reduce the risk of operational disruptions caused by wildlife issues. #### **4. Improve Customer Experience:** A clean, wildlife-free property enhances customer satisfaction and confidence in your business. ![Commercial Wildlife Exclusion | Perimeter Wildlife Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/birf-netting-shopping-center-scaled-1-1024x768.webp "bird-netting-georgia-shopping-center | Perimeter Wildlife Control")### **Case Studies: Commercial Wildlife Exclusion Success Stories** #### **Case Study 1: Birds in a Retail Store Sign** A retail store contacted us about birds nesting in their outdoor sign, which was creating debris and droppings near the entrance. We installed bird netting and spikes, resolving the issue while preserving the store’s aesthetic. #### **Case Study 2: Rodents in a Restaurant Storage Area** A restaurant owner noticed signs of rodents near their food storage area. We sealed entry points, installed door sweeps, and provided prevention tips to keep the area clean and rodent-free. ### **Conclusion** Wildlife exclusion is an essential service for commercial properties, protecting your business from damage, health risks, and reputation issues.

Professional?](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/raccoon-removal-services-atlanta-georgia/) **Published:** July 26, 2023 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Raccoon Removal Services: Why Should You Hire a Professional? Did you hear about the raccoons that [broke into a police station](https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/douglas-county/band-bandit-raccoons-break-into-metro-atlanta-sheriffs-office/RRMPAS3FGRHCNLU7HEID5DGV64/) just outside of Atlanta recently and wreaked havoc in it before eventually being removed by a raccoon removal services professional? They showed what a big problem raccoons can be in the Atlanta area. If you ever suspect you might have a raccoon or, worse, more than one raccoon living in your Atlanta-area home, you should do something about it ASAP. Otherwise, it could sustain its fair share of raccoon damage before long. You shouldn’t ever try removing a raccoon from your home on your own though. You should let a professional provide [raccoon removal services](https://perimeterwildlife.org/critters/raccoon-control-atlanta-ga/) instead. It’ll be well worth reaching out to a professional from one of your local pest control services as soon as you start to see signs of raccoons in your home. Check out several reasons why you should always hire a professional team like Perimeter Wildlife Control to perform pest removal services, especially when it comes to raccoons. ## Professional Raccoon Removal Services Can Confirm You Have a Raccoon in Your Home If you’ve seen a raccoon coming in and out of your home, that’ll be all the proof you’ll need to show that you have one living in your house. But if you haven’t been able to spot a raccoon yet and have only seen [signs of raccoons in your home](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/signs-of-snakes-in-home-garage-how-to-get-rid-of-them/)‘s area, a professional will be able to provide you with the confirmation you need. When raccoons are able to get inside homes, they’ll typically set up shop in their attics where they’ll have plenty of space to spread out without being disturbed. A professional will be more than willing to access this attic to see if they can spot signs of raccoons or even raccoons themselves. By doing this, they’ll be able to tell you whether or not you need raccoon removal services. ## Professionals Will Come Up With a Plan for Removing the Raccoons If you do in fact have one or more raccoons living in your home, the next thing a professional will do is come up with a plan for getting rid of them. Most of the time, this plan will involve putting out humane cage-style [traps and waiting for raccoons](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/raccoon-control-atlanta-ga/) to climb inside them and get trapped. Truth be told, trapping raccoons and then either relocating them or euthanizing them when necessary is a simple enough task for a professional. But you shouldn’t try to tackle this task on your own. It could lead to you making your raccoon problem even worse than it already is if you don’t know where to put traps for raccoons. ![Raccoon Removal Services | Perimeter Wildlife Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Raccoon-DL.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control") ## They’ll Help You Avoid Having to Confront a Raccoon Of all the different types of wildlife that can sneak into your home, raccoons are some of the most aggressive animals to deal with. They tend to be on the bigger side compared to other forms of wildlife. Raccoons also not always the friendliest animals, which won’t work in your favor if you ever come face-to-face with one. By hiring a professional like Perimeter Wildlife Control to provide raccoon removal services, you’ll be able to steer clear of having to confront a raccoon or even multiple raccoons on your own. It’ll keep you safe while eliminating your raccoon problem at the same time. ## They Can Get Rid of a Raccoon and Keep It Away As we alluded to earlier, a professional from one of your local [pest control services](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/) shouldn’t run into too much trouble when trying to capture a raccoon from your home and get rid of it. But keeping raccoons away in the future can be a much taller task. There are likely holes in or near your roof that gave a raccoon access to your home in the first place. It’ll be important for these holes to be properly repaired so that you don’t have another raccoon problem in the not-too-distant future. A professional will be able to pinpoint where raccoons were able to enter your home. It’ll put you in a much better position to make the necessary repairs so that you don’t find yourself removing a raccoon from your home again next week. Perimeter Wildlife Control specializes in making the necessary [wildlife exclusion repairs, as well as preventive repairs](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-exclusion-atlanta-ga/) to keep critters out of your home. Permanently! ## They’ll Stop a Raccoon From Doing Additional Damage If a raccoon is only in your home for a few days, it might not be able to do too much damage right away. But if it’s able to stay there for weeks, months, or years on end, will be a different story. In this case, you might have all kinds of [raccoon damage in your attic](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/common-raccoon-attic-issues-and-solutions/) space. Raccoons might rip up insulation, scratch up wood, and even chew through electrical wires in some cases. You’ll want to aim to stop them from being able to do this type of damage as soon as you can. Bringing a professional on board to lend a hand will prevent raccoon damage from taking an even bigger toll on your attic than it already has. ![Raccoon Removal Services | Perimeter Wildlife Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/baby-coons-at-entry-point-scaled.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control") ## Pros Can Assist You in Cleaning Up After a Raccoon Removal Service No matter how long a [raccoon might be up in your attic](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/common-raccoon-attic-issues-and-solutions/), there will no doubt be some urine and feces left behind. Raccoon droppings in particular, can lead to the spread of [dangerous diseases like histoplasmosis](https://www.cdc.gov/histoplasmosis/about/) if you don’t clean it up immediately after evicting a raccoon from your attic. One of the final ways in which a professional will help you is by helping to clean up the area where a raccoon was located. They can make sure you don’t have to worry about raccoon feces spreading any diseases within your home. You’ll sleep so much better at night knowing a professional oversaw this part of the raccoon removal process. These types of services usually include decontamination or sanitizing. ## Contact Us for the Best Raccoon Removal Services in Atlanta Have you started to see some [signs of raccoons living in your home](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/signs-of-snakes-in-home-garage-how-to-get-rid-of-them/)?

Professional?](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/dead-rodent-removal-services-why-should-you-hire-a-professional/) **Published:** October 16, 2023 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Dead Rodent Removal Services: Why Should You Hire a Professional? Dead rodent removal services may be needed if you discover a foul odor in your home. Read on to find out why you should hire a professional dead rodent removal services company in metro Atlanta, Georgia. ## Dead Rodent Removal Services: Should I Hire a Professional? The simple answer to this question is yes! [Professional dead rodent removal services](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/) like Perimeter Wildlife Control has the equipment, experience, and expertise to find and remove your dead rodent. A company that specializes in wildlife control or rodent removal usually has tools and equipment that common pest control companies do not. These tools make it possible to have better results in locating and [removing dead](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/dead-animal-removal-atlanta-ga/) rodents inside your walls or ceilings. ### I Think I Have a Dead Rodent in My Walls, Can You Find It and Remove It? Unfortunately there is no professional with a 100% guarantee that a dead rodent will be found. However a professional rodent removal service like Perimeter Wildlife Control uses cutting edge technology to increase the chances of finding a dead rodent in your walls. Digital inspection cameras can assist in finding a dead rodent inside a wall. Also it can help in determining where best to access the area. Thermal imaging cameras can also assist not just in finding dead rodents inside walls. They can also help find nests or other potential issues in your home or structure. ### ![Dead Rodent Removal Services | Perimeter Wildlife Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20230526_144824-1-scaled-1-225x300.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control")Can I Remove a Dead Rodent on My Own? You can remove a dead rodent on your own, although you should keep a few things in mind. ##### **How will you locate a dead rodent or critter to remove it?** *Most people do not have inspection cameras or thermal imaging cameras laying around their homes. Some of these advanced digital devices can cost upwards of $3000+ dollars. Additionally, using these products do require some training to be used and the data properly analyzed. If time and money is of the essence, a professional dead rodent removal service should be able to handle your issues quickly and efficiently.* ##### **How will you remove a dead animal in your wall?** *You may be a do-it-yourselfer and want to DIY the dead rodent removal process. It is worth noting that in our experience, just because someone owns a saw an “can” to cut into a wall, does NOT mean they “should”. There are numerous vital elements and mechanical systems within the walls of a structure that can be damaged or cause additional problems for property owners. Plumbing, electrical wiring, utility conduits, and HVAC components are just some (not all) of the things that can be damaged.* ##### **Can you handle the smell or what you will see once you find and access the dead rodent? Will it make you sick?** *Let’s face it, not everyone can handle the horrible odor of a decomposing animal without gagging or even making themselves sick. Even less people can handle seeing something that is gory. Keep in mind that a dead rodent that is causing an odor is already well into the decomposition process. This means that the situation can turn potentially messy once the [dead animal removal](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/dead-animal-removal-atlanta-ga/) service is being performed. Also worth noting is that there is the high potential for increased odor as well as other creatures to be present during a [dead animal’s](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/dead-animal-removal-atlanta-ga/) decomposition phase, this includes maggots, roaches, ants, fleas, ticks, mites or other flesh eating insects.* ##### **Do you have the proper protective gear to remove a dead rodent or dead animal?** *The removal of a dead rodent or other dead animal does at times require some PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). A respirator, a Tyvek coverall suit, gloves, eye protection, etc. are all items that may be needed. Once again, these items are not usually just laying around in the garage of the common homeowner as they wait to use them. Some of this PPE is designed to keep you safe from [diseases transmitted](https://perimeterwildlife.org/wildlife-diseases-dangerous-diseases-transmitted-by-wildlife/) by rodents. Click [here](https://www.cdc.gov/healthy-pets/rodent-control/) to find a list of these diseases.* ### Do You Sanitize the Area After Removing a Dead Rodent? The area where the [dead animal was removed](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/dead-animal-removal-atlanta-ga/) should be cleaned and sanitized. A specialized enzymatic solution is used to aid in the odor dispersal. Sanitizing where the rodent carcass is removed from will also help to kill any [germs or bacteria that cause wildlife diseases](https://perimeterwildlife.org/wildlife-diseases-dangerous-diseases-transmitted-by-wildlife/). ### Why Hire Perimeter Wildlife Control for Dead Rodent Removal Services?

**Published:** March 13, 2024 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Atlanta Snake Trapping Service ### Searching for a professional Atlanta snake trapping service near me? Perimeter Wildlife provides emergency snake removal and Atlanta snake trapping services. ![Atlanta Snake Trapping Service | Perimeter Wildlife Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/66d8bfb6f82e1082e4ca7b02_unnamed.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control")Snakes can be terrifying to many people around the Metro Atlanta Georgia area. There are many species of snakes that are native and invasive to Georgia. Some of the snake species in Atlanta, Georgia are [venomous snakes](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/?p=1577). A venomous snake could be a need for a professional [emergency snake removal service](https://perimeterwildlife.org/how-to-handle-a-snake-in-your-house/) like Perimeter Wildlife Control. However, most of the snakes in Georgia are non-venomous and most are harmless if you let them be. Whether the snake is a venomous snake either a copperhead or rattle snake; or non-venomous like a rat snake or king snake, the snake removal process is similar. Specialized equipment is used by a [professional Atlanta snake trapping service](https://perimeterwildlife.org/8-expert-tips-for-dealing-with-a-snake-in-the-house/). An emergency snake removal can be dangerous and if there are doubts, the job should be left to a professional [pest removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/emergency-pest-removal-in-atlanta/) company. ## Atlanta Georgia Snake Trapping Season The “snake season” in Georgia is normally from early spring until late fall, with some variance dependent on weather. Although some snakes may not go into a [cold weather](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/cold-weather-pest-removal-atlanta-ga-keeping-wildlife-outside/) dormancy period if they find a warm basement or crawlspace to survive in over the winter. Survival for a snake as with most unwanted critters means warmth, water, and a food source ([rodent infestation](https://perimeterwildlife.org/5-health-risks-associated-with-rodent-infestation-in-atlanta/)). Due to snakes being cold blooded reptiles, they have to regulate their body temperature. Warmth to be able to control the body temperature is very important to a snake, at times even more so than a food source. A snake can go 6-8 weeks between meals. ## Snake Species Common in Atlanta, Georgia Below is a list of the most common snake species found in the Atlanta, GA metro area and statewide. As can be seen below the number of non-venomous snake species, far out weigh the venomous [snake species present in Atlanta, Georgia](https://perimeterwildlife.org/critters/snake-removal-atlanta-ga/) and statewide. #### Non-Venomous Snakes in Georgia - Eastern Green Water Snake - Brown Water Snake - Red or Yellow-Bellied Water Snake - Banded Water Snake - Northern Water Snake - Banded Water Snake - Striped Crayfish Snake - Eastern Hognose Snake - Southern Hognose Snake - Ringneck Snake - Eastern Worm Snake - Pine Woods Snake - Mud Snake - Rainbow Snake - Racer - Coachwhip - Rough Green Snake - Corn Snake - Rat Snake - Pine Snake - Eastern/Black Kingsnake - Mole Kingsnake - Scarlet Kingsnake/Milk Snake - Glossy Crayfish Snake - Black Swamp Snake - Brown Snake - Red-Bellied Snake - Eastern Ribbon Snake - Common Garter Snake - Smooth Earth Snake - Rough Earth Snake #### Venomous Snakes in Georgia - Copperhead - Pigmy Rattlesnake - Canebrake or Timber Rattlesnake - Cottonmouth / Water Moccasin - Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake - Eastern Coral Snake Perimeter Wildlife Control is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year including holidays. if you require immediate Atlanta snake trapping service or emergency snake removal call us anytime at [770-369-7713](tel:7703697713)!!

Property](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/how-to-handle-snakes-on-your-property/) **Published:** January 25, 2025 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # How to Handle Snakes on Your Property Encountering a snake on your property can be a startling experience. While many snakes are harmless and even beneficial, others can pose serious threats to pets, children, and even adults. Whether you live in an urban, suburban, or rural area, it’s crucial to understand how to prevent snake encounters, identify different types of snakes, and know when to call a [professional for snake removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/contact/). This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about handling snake encounters on your property safely and effectively. ![How to Handle Snakes on Your Property | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/snake-in-woods-300x240.webp "snake in woods | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ## Why Snakes Come Onto Properties Understanding why snakes might appear on your property is the first step in preventing encounters. Here are some common reasons snakes might venture onto your land: 1. **Food Sources**: Snakes are often attracted to areas where they can find food. If your property has a high population of [rodents](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rodent-infestation-emergency-atlanta-georgia/), frogs, or insects, snakes may be drawn to it in search of a meal. 2. **Shelter**: Snakes seek shelter in cool, shaded areas during hot weather and warm, protected spots during cold weather. Woodpiles, brush, tall grass, and even the undersides of decks can provide ideal hiding places for snakes. 3. **Water**: Properties with ponds, streams, or standing water are more likely to attract snakes, especially during dry spells when natural water sources are scarce. 4. **Breeding Grounds**: Some snakes may come onto your property looking for a place to lay eggs or give birth. This is more common in areas with ample cover and food. ### Types of Snakes You Might Encounter Understanding the types of snakes that are common in your area can help you better identify and respond to encounters. Although there are over 100 species of snakes in Georgia, they are not all native & most are non-venomous. Here are some common types of snakes that might appear on your property in Atlanta Georgia: 1. #### **Non-Venomous Snakes**: - **Garter Snakes**: Small, slender snakes with stripes running down their bodies. They are harmless and often found in gardens or near water sources. - **Rat Snakes**: Larger snakes that are excellent climbers. They help control rodent populations and are generally harmless to humans. - **King Snakes**: Known for their immunity to venom, king snakes are beneficial as they prey on other snakes, including venomous species. 2. **Venomous Snakes:** - **Rattlesnakes**: Recognizable by their distinctive rattle, these snakes are found in many parts of North America. They are usually shy but will defend themselves if threatened. - **Copperheads**: Often found in wooded areas, copperheads have a distinctive hourglass pattern on their bodies. They are venomous and can deliver a painful bite. - **Water Moccasins (Cottonmouths)**: Typically found near water, these snakes are aggressive and venomous. They have a thick, muscular body and a distinctive cotton-white mouth interior. ## ![How to Handle Snakes on Your Property | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/racer-snake-300x200.webp "racer snake | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ## How to Prevent Snake Encounters Preventing snake encounters starts with making your property less attractive to them. Here are some effective strategies to reduce the likelihood of snakes entering your property: 1. **Keep the Yard Clean and Tidy**: Regularly mow your lawn, trim bushes, and remove piles of leaves, wood, and debris where snakes might hide. 2. **Seal Entry Points**: Inspect your home’s foundation, walls, and doors for gaps and cracks that could allow snakes to enter. Seal these openings with caulk, steel wool, or other appropriate materials. 3. **Control Rodent Populations**: Since snakes often come looking for food, keeping rodent populations under control will make your property less attractive to them. Store trash in sealed bins, keep pet food indoors, and use rodent traps or bait stations as needed. 4. **Install Fencing**: Consider installing snake-proof fencing, especially if you live in an area known for venomous snakes. The fence should be buried a few inches into the ground and have a fine mesh to prevent snakes from passing through. 5. **Remove Water Sources**: Eliminate standing water and manage water features to reduce the habitat available for both snakes and their prey. Ensure that ponds and fountains are properly maintained. ### How to Safely Identify Snakes If you encounter a snake on your property, it’s important to determine whether it’s venomous or non-venomous. Here are some tips for identifying snakes: 1. **Observe from a Distance**: Never approach a snake to identify it. Use binoculars or a zoom lens on your phone to get a closer look without risking your safety. 2. **Look for Distinctive Features**: Venomous snakes often have triangular-shaped heads, elliptical pupils (like a cat’s), and thick, muscular bodies. Non-venomous snakes usually have rounded heads, round pupils, and slender bodies. 3. **Listen for Sounds**: Some venomous snakes, like rattlesnakes, will give a warning rattle when threatened. However, not all venomous snakes make noise, so absence of sound does not mean safety. 4. **Check for Color Patterns**: While not foolproof, many venomous snakes have distinct color patterns that can help with identification. For example, coral snakes have a red-yellow-black color pattern, while milk snakes, which are non-venomous, have a red-black-yellow pattern. ### ![How to Handle Snakes on Your Property | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/venomous-snake-coiled-300x240.webp "venomous snake coiled | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ### What to Do If You Encounter a Snake If you find a [snake on your property](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/how-to-handle-a-snake-in-your-house/), remain calm and follow these steps: 1. **Keep Your Distance**: Do not attempt to handle or provoke the snake. Most snake bites occur when people try to move or kill the snake. 2. **Ensure Safety of People and Pets**: Keep children and pets away from the area where the snake was spotted. If the snake is indoors, try to confine it to one room by closing doors. 3. **Call a Professional**: If you’re unsure whether the snake is venomous or if it poses a threat, call a [professional wildlife removal service](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/snake-removal-atlanta-ga/). They have the experience and equipment to handle snakes safely and humanely. 4. **Monitor the Situation**: If the snake is outside and you believe it is non-venomous, you may simply observe from a safe distance until it leaves. Most snakes will not linger if they sense human presence. ## When to Call Professional Snake Removal Services While many snake encounters can be managed with prevention and common sense, there are situations where professional help is essential: 1. **Venomous Snakes**: If you see a venomous snake, do not attempt to handle it yourself. Contact a professional snake removal service immediately. 2. **Recurring Snake Problems**: If you frequently find [snakes on your property](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/signs-of-snakes-in-home-garage-how-to-get-rid-of-them/), a professional can assess the situation and provide targeted strategies to prevent further encounters. 3. **Indoor Snake Sightings**: If a snake has entered your home, it’s best to call a professional to safely capture and remove it. They can also help identify how the snake got in and recommend sealing entry points. 4. **Large or Aggressive Snakes**: If the snake is unusually large or behaving aggressively, professional intervention is the safest option. 5. **Nest or Multiple Snakes**: Discovering a nest or multiple snakes on your property indicates a more significant problem that requires expert attention to resolve. #### Conclusion Snakes play an essential role in the ecosystem by [controlling pest](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/?p=7666) populations, but they can become a concern when they enter human habitats. By understanding why snakes come onto properties, identifying different types of snakes, and knowing how to prevent and respond to encounters, you can protect your home and family.

Atlanta](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/prevention-control-rodent-infestation-atlanta/) **Published:** March 19, 2024 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Prevention and control of rodent infestation in Atlanta To prevent and control [rodent infestation in Atlanta](https://perimeterwildlife.org/5-health-risks-associated-with-rodent-infestation-in-atlanta/), you need to take action. Keep rodents out of your home by maintaining it properly. You should also rodent-proof your home using specific techniques. If you have a [rat or mouse infestation,](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/roof-rat-infestations-prevention-and-control/) you can try using traps and baits for control. However, [professional extermination services](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/raccoon-removal-services-atlanta-georgia/) like Perimeter Wildlife Control provide the most effective solution. ## Home maintenance tips to prevent rodent infestation Say goodbye to unwanted house guests and hello to a rodent-free abode with these pro tips! Preventing rodent infestation requires a [comprehensive home maintenance](https://perimeterwildlife.org/professional-secrets-for-diy-rodent-exclusion-1/) strategy. Here are some tips: - Seal holes and gaps with **steel wool / mesh or silicone or expandable foam** - Store pet food in **sealed containers** - Keep living spaces clutter free - **Trim trees near the house/roof** Monitor attics, basements, and crawl spaces regularly for signs of rodents. They love hiding in these secluded areas. Home [repairs and extermination services](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-exclusion-atlanta-ga/) costs can fluctuate. A study by Georgia Pest Control Association shows **43% of homes have infestations annually**. Be vigilant and practice good prevention & maintenance! ## Rodent-proofing your home **Safeguard your home from rodents!** Here are some tips to keep them away: 1. Block off access points. Check for cracks and holes near doors, windows, vents, and pipes. Fill them up with caulking material or steel wool. 2. Eliminate food sources. Store pet food in airtight containers. Clean up spills quickly. Don’t leave pet food outside for long. Put garbage in sealed containers until collection day. 3. Keep a clean environment. Regularly clean kitchens, bathrooms, attics and basements. Trim overhanging tree branches near the roof. 4. Use of repellents like peppermint oil or mothballs are temporarily effective, but can provide some relief until a [professional rodent removal service](https://perimeterwildlife.org/dead-rodent-removal-services-why-should-you-hire-a-professional/) can assist you. **Remember: prevention is better than trying to solve on an going rat problem!** By following these steps and taking care of your surrounding, you can have a house that’s free from rodents! ### Traps and baits for rodent control **Snap traps** with sensitive triggers are humane and effective. **Electronic traps** provide no-touch, no-view kills. **Sticky traps** are adhesive and catch rats on contact, but can be somewhat inhumane. Place traps along walls and in corners where rodents go. Keep baits fresh and rotate them. Dispose of [dead rodents](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/dead-rodent-removal-services-why-should-you-hire-a-professional/) with gloves or tongs. **Ultrasonic devices** don’t always work and **glue boards** can cause suffering. Lastly, avoid over-using the same [pest control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/pest-control-tips-guide-to-keeping-nuisance-pests-away/) measures – this can lead to resistance among rodents. If all else fails, call in [rodent control professionals](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/dead-rodent-removal-services-why-should-you-hire-a-professional/) like Perimeter Wildlife Control, with our traps and experience – we’ll make sure your unwanted guests get the eviction notice! ## Professional extermination services for rodent infestations Rodent [infestations in Atlanta can be a serious health](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/5-health-risks-associated-with-rodent-infestation-in-atlanta/) hazard.

Outside](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/cold-weather-pest-removal-atlanta-ga-keeping-wildlife-outside/) **Published:** January 10, 2024 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Cold Weather Pest Removal Atlanta, GA: Keeping Wildlife Outside As the coldest temperatures of the year set in, small mammals and wildlife are looking for a warm spot to settle into. Although the colder months may seem relatively pest-free outdoors, some creatures find their way into people’s homes, especially their attics and basements. Many common pests are searching for the perfect spot to nest for the winter. Unfortunately, that could be your home, and these unwanted critters can do more damage than you may realize. That’s why it’s so important to protect your home from these winter invaders. We can help! Here’s a guide to cold weather pest removal. ## ![Cold Weather Pest Removal Atlanta, GA | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/squirrel-in-gutter-min-p-500.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control")Signs of Unwanted Wildlife You want to be aware of how to spot a wildlife invasion in or around your home or property. Here are a few telltale signs to be on the lookout for. - Chirping or squeaking noises coming from your attic, vents, or walls - Scratching sounds coming from the attic or walls - [Garbage cans](https://perimeterwildlife.org/raccoon-removal-services-atlanta-georgia/) or bags that have been invaded - Chewing or gnawing marks on wood, wire, or cardboard - A bad smell that lingers even after cleaning the space - Scat (animal poop) When the cold season arrives, the wildlife in your area will be looking for a warm shelter, water, and food. Your [home is the perfect spot for unwanted critters](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/should-my-atlanta-ga-home-be-critter-proofed/) to hide out from the cold. Without you even realizing it, they can take up residence in an attic, crawlspace, chimney, or basement for some warmth and protection from predators. Although some of these creatures may seem harmless, they can actually cause a variety of serious problems for your home, family, and pets. It’s a good idea to know about the wildlife in Georgia and how they might invade your home. Make sure these unwanted critters don’t camp out in your home. Contact a reputable cold weather pest removal service for a home inspection. ## House Mice House mice are common throughout the United States. They are frequent invaders of homes and commercial spaces. In fact, millions of homes in the U.S. are infested with these [unwanted rodents](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/know-about-house-mice). They like to nest in dark, secluded spots like basements and storage rooms. Small mice are surprisingly destructive. They can easily chew through drywall and wiring in your home, which can lead to an electrical fire. They carry bacteria and disease everywhere they roam. They will even make trips to your kitchen searching for food while you and your family are asleep. They can contaminate food and spread salmonella through their feces. This can lead to serious illness and discomfort for you and your family. Getting rid of mice on your own isn’t as easy as you may think. Calling in a professional wildlife removal service can help you rid your home or building of these annoying pests. ## Rats Nothing is quite as frightening as seeing [rats in your home](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlanta-rodent-infestation-removal/). During the winter or harsh weather conditions, rats are searching for a warm, secure place to nest. It’s a survival strategy, and they will invade your home without your knowledge. They love to nest in basements, debris piles, and other undisturbed materials and areas. They are extremely destructive and can gnaw through almost anything, including plumbing, drywall, siding, wiring, and more. They can cause serious structural damage to your home or building. They carry diseases, including Salmonellosis, Trichinosis, cowpox virus, rat-bite fever, and others. Rats and mice harbor disease-carrying parasites like lice, fleas, and ticks. No one wants these unwanted pests, but they could be lurking without your knowledge. If you think you could have a [rat problem](https://perimeterwildlife.org/dead-rodent-removal-services-why-should-you-hire-a-professional/), it’s important to call professional pest control services right away. ## Squirrels Squirrels are common in Georgia. There are literally millions of them running around. You may not mind seeing them scurrying around your property, but it’s a different story when they invade your home. They love to nest in attics and basements. They hoard acorns and bring them indoors to store for the winter months. They may look cute and innocent, but they carry bacteria, disease, and other pathogens like other types of rodents do. Squirrels can chew through household materials, including wiring, damaging your home. This can leave you with a mess and unexpected repair bills. There are a variety of squirrels that can create nuisance problems, from red squirrels to flying squirrels to gray squirrels. The gray squirrel is the most common. They love to invade attics in the winter and late summer so the females can give birth to their bi-annual litter of young. You don’t want this occurring in your home. Enlist the help of [wildlife removal specialists](https://perimeterwildlife.org/about-perimeter-wildlife-control-ga/) to eliminate this possibility. ## Dead Animal Removal A dead animal in your home can attract all types of vermin and other nuisance animals looking for a meal. The smell of a [dead animal in your home](https://perimeterwildlife.org/dead-rodent-removal-services-why-should-you-hire-a-professional/) can be overwhelming too. When an animal dies on your property, you can try to [remove it yourself or you can call in professional](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/4-professional-rodent-removal-secrets-for-atlanta-georgia-homeowners/) removal services to deal with it. They know how to dispose of dead animals the proper way. When an [animal dies within the architecture of your home](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/common-pest-animals-that-may-be-in-your-home/) such as within your walls or cabinetry, it can be a tricky removal process. The process may include removing drywall or cutting into surfaces to get to the dead animal. In some cases, animals make their way into ductwork or your HVAC system and die there. This sometimes requires coordinating with an HVAC technician to get the job done. Professional wildlife removal services can handle all of these issues. They will remove the [animal from your property and sanitize and decontaminate](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/pest-animal-decontamination-atlanta-ga/) the area to eliminate any foul odors. ## ![Cold Weather Pest Removal Atlanta, GA | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/rat-shadow-on-bedthermal.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control")Preventing a Winter Invasion If you’re hoping to avoid a winter pest invasion, prevention is key. There are things you can do to [control these pesky home invaders with some wildlife](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-odor-control-atlanta-ga/) prevention tips. ### Inspect Your Chimney Critters love chimneys. It’s a great hiding place and an easy avenue into your home. To protect your home, make sure you have a grated screen without holes. Check the area above the flue for debris, leaves, or animal droppings. Make sure your chimney is secure for the winter season. ### Inspect the Roof and Siding Tiny cracks or openings in your roof or siding provide easy access to your attic or home. Be sure to inspect the full exterior of your roof, checking the intersections and siding. You want to inspect the flashing seams and ensure the siding isn’t pulling away or warping. Check around the exhaust openings and look for loose vent screens too. ### Inspect Foundations Small cracks, holes, or open pipes within the foundation provide an easy way for wildlife to enter your home. A foundation inspection can help you identify problems and seal any openings to [prevent infestations](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/roof-rat-infestations-prevention-and-control/). Any area larger than 1/2″ can be a potential wildlife entry point. ### Inspect the Attic Critters love to hang out in attics. Use a flashlight or headlamp to carefully inspect your attic. Look for openings and damaged or chewed wood. Additionally look for trails or tunneling through your insulation, as well as the signs of any droppings left behind by the invading critters. ### Secure Trashcans Your trashcans are a feasting area for pests. Make sure your trashcans have secure lids. Avoid overfilling them and clean the cans regularly to minimize smells and deter animals. ### Maintain Landscaping Limbs and branches provide a gateway into your home for squirrels and other pests. Keep your trees and shrubbery trimmed and away from your home. Be sure to cut or trim branches that touch or hang over the roof of your home as well. ### Clean Up Food Leaving food outside your home will only attract unwanted wildlife. Avoid leaving dog and cat food outside. Don’t throw food scraps into the yard or pour out excess grease. Clean up fallen fruit and spilled birdseed. If you have a garden, choose fencing that’s designed to keep wildlife out. Wildlife control is a process that needs your consideration and attention all year, especially during the winter months. Many people appreciate the beauty of nature but don’t fully realize the destruction wildlife can cause to their homes and properties. You can’t prevent all wildlife invasions, but you can do your part to protect your home as much as possible. If you’re concerned you may have an unwanted animal in your home or want your home inspected for possible invaders, call a professional wildlife removal service for help. ## The Benefit of Cold Weather Pest Removal in Atlanta As the warm weather wanes and it gets chilly outside, don’t forget the possibility of pests invading your home.

Solutions](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/common-raccoon-attic-issues-and-solutions/) **Published:** March 5, 2023 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Common Raccoon Attic Issues and Solutions ![Common Raccoon Attic Issues | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/AdobeStock_314588116.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control") ### Common Raccoon Attic Issues and Solutions ###### A raccoon in the attic is very problematic. Take a look at the common issues this creates and the best solutions to prevent damage. There’s a reason raccoons have a reputation as tricksters: they’re highly intelligent problem-solvers, and they’re capable of finding creative ways to get things they want. In fact, one study on their intelligence found that they were not only able to pass simple cognition tests for food rewards but [learned to cheat](https://www.livescience.com/60784-raccoons-cheat-to-ace-cognition-test.html) while doing it. As a homeowner, however, you may be less impressed when one of these [critters uses its smarts to get into your home](https://perimeterwildlife.org/should-my-atlanta-ga-home-be-critter-proofed/). When you have a raccoon in the attic, getting these tricksters to leave can be easier said than done. Here’s what you need to know about the signs of raccoons, the problems they can cause, and how [professional wildlife control](https://perimeterwildlife.org/critters/raccoon-control-atlanta-ga/) can kick them out of your home. ## Signs of Raccoons First things first: how can you tell when it’s time to worry? Here are a few signs that a raccoon might live in or around your home. ### Frequent Sightings One of the most obvious red flags is seeing raccoons around your home. If you’ve noticed them around your property, the chances are good that they’re wandering the area or holing up in your attic. ### Feces and Urine Raccoons won’t scatter their droppings and urine all around your attic. Instead, they use only one area as a latrine. Over time, the smell may build enough that the foul odor reaches the rest of your home. You may also notice droppings around your home. Raccoon droppings look like the droppings of a cat or small dog. ### Visible Roof Damage Raccoons have sharp teeth and claws, and they’re stronger than their small size would suggest. If you have raccoons around, you’ll likely notice the roof damage right away! Raccoons can chew through shingles and air vents. They can also damage gutters and eavestroughs in an attempt to enter your home. ### Nesting Materials Another sign that it’s time to contact [pest removal](https://perimeterwildlife.org/commercial-pest-removal-atlanta-georgia/) is scattered nest materials. In building their nests, raccoons may bring in scattered debris from outside. Twigs, grass, leaves, fabric, and paper are all common materials. Raccoons use them to create a pile they can burrow into. ### Noises Last, but not least, listen for odd sounds in your attic. Raccoons are large animals, and it’s often easy to distinguish their thumping and stomping from the sounds of a smaller creature like a bird or [a gray squirrel](https://perimeterwildlife.org/critters/squirrel-control-atlanta-ga/). If you’re dealing with a mother and her babies, you’re likely to hear high-pitched crying from the kits as well. ## When Are Raccoons Most Active? When do you need to be on the lookout for the signs above? Raccoons are active year-round, though you’ll see more signs of activity during certain periods. ### Nocturnal Activity Raccoons are nocturnal, meaning you’re most likely to see or hear them in the late hours of the evening or overnight. This is also when they’re most likely to look for food or to try and enter your home or the surrounding structures. ### Warm-Weather Activity In general, raccoons tend to be most active during the warmer months of the year. Here in Georgia, this means the spring and summer as well as our warmer autumns. Springtime should be a particular concern. In February and March, pregnant mothers are often looking for warm spaces where they can have their young. After the babies are born, the new family will often stay in their chosen den for several months until the babies can fend for themselves. As a result, it’s important to make sure your home is structurally sound before the spring. Allowing a raccoon to create a den and give birth can invite permanent guests who won’t leave for quite some time! ### Cold-Weather Activity During the winter, you’ll tend to see fewer signs of raccoon activity. Raccoons aren’t true hibernators, but they will fall into a deep sleep when the weather drops. At this time, they curl up in their dens for warmth and enter a state called “torpor.” This slows their metabolism and allows them to remain inactive to conserve energy. Unlike hibernation, torpor can last between a few days and a few weeks. Raccoons will often use natural cavities in trees, hollow logs, and abandoned burrows when sleeping. However, they may also seek the warmth of human habitation. If you’re worried about raccoons in your attic, don’t assume that they’re gone because you’ve stopped seeing signs of them in the winter. Their inactivity may indicate that they’re sleeping unseen in your home. ![Common Raccoon Attic Issues | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Raccoon-DL.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control") ## Health Risks Caused by Raccoons If you’re tempted to postpone your [raccoon removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/common-raccoon-attic-issues-and-solutions/) in Atlanta, don’t! Having these critters in the attic might not seem like a big deal, but it can expose your household to some serious health risks. Raccoons can carry many infectious diseases, especially in their feces. ### Raccoon Roundworm Roundworm is the most serious health risk of a raccoon infestation. This parasite lives in the intestines of a raccoon, but its larvae can hatch from eggs in the raccoon’s feces. Worse, you don’t even need to come into contact with the feces: the eggs can become airborne, allowing humans or pets to breathe them in. Fatigue, poor vision, and a loss of muscle control are common signs of roundworm. The resulting infection can impair the nervous system, cause organ damage, and even lead to a coma or death. ### Leptospirosis This bacterial infection spreads through raccoon feces as well. If you come into contact with feces, you can contract it. Flu-like symptoms are common with this disease, but it can turn into kidney or liver failure if left untreated. ### Salmonella Most people are familiar with salmonella and its symptoms, as it’s also common in foods like uncooked poultry. You can contract salmonella from raccoon feces if you accidentally touch your face after handling the droppings. ### Rabies Unlike the diseases above, rabies is something you’ll contract only if you come into contact with a raccoon infected with rabies. Raccoons with rabies may act violently and show little fear of humans. They may also froth at the mouth. If any raccoon bites or scratches you, it’s important to seek treatment for rabies as soon as possible. The early symptoms of rabies resemble the flu, but it can lead to a delirious state, and this disease can become fatal without treatment. ## ![Common Raccoon Attic Issues | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/raccoon-trapped-300x200.webp "raccoon trapped | Perimeter Wildlife Control")Property Issues Raccoons Can Cause Beyond health risks, having raccoons on your property increases your risk of structural or property damage. This, unfortunately, is typical when an animal is chewing its way inside your home! ### Insulation Damage When a raccoon has gotten into your attic, one of the biggest forms of damage may be insulation damage. Raccoons may chew through your insulation to create their den, or they may try to use it as part of their nest. ### Electrical Damage On their way to chew through your home’s insulation and structure, a raccoon may damage your electrical wiring by accident. This can compromise your home’s electrical system, putting you and your household at risk. Electrical problems are a [major cause of home fires](https://www.esfi.org/home-electrical-fires/#:~:text=Home%20electrical%20fires%20account%20for,%241.3%20billion%20in%20property%20damage.), so it’s important to get rid of your raccoons and address the problem fast. ![Common Raccoon Attic Issues | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/baby-coons-at-entry-point-scaled.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control") ### Exterior Home Damage When a raccoon decides to make its nest in your home, that doesn’t keep it from going outside. These critters love hiding food and treasures in holes, which means they may dig in areas that are convenient to them, including your lawn and garden. Worse, raccoons make it difficult to put food waste into your garbage. If they smell this food, they’ll often overturn bins and rip into trash bags, leaving the mess scattered across your property. As we’ve mentioned above, raccoons can also do some serious damage to the outside of your home. In digging, they can damage crawlspaces and decks, and in getting into and out of your attic, they can damage your roof and siding. ## Getting Rid of Raccoons Now that we’ve covered everything you should expect from a raccoon infestation, you may be wondering, “How do I get them to *leave?*” ***The answer is that you don’t handle them alone! We never recommend that homeowners try to physically [remove a raccoon](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/common-raccoon-attic-issues-and-solutions/) without help. This is true for adult raccoons as well as baby raccoons.*** As we’ve mentioned above, these creatures present a serious risk to your health and safety, which is why you may need to contact a professional [critter control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/common-raccoon-attic-issues-and-solutions/) expert like Perimeter Wildlife Control. However, there are some “tricks” that you as a homeowner can try on your own with minimal risk. ### Homeowner “Tricks” for Dealing with Raccoon Issues Although the following results may not be perefect, you can try putting [ultrasound pest repellers](https://www.bobvila.com/articles/best-ultrasonic-pest-repeller/) in your attic and around your home. These devices create sounds humans can’t hear, but they’re annoying for raccoons. The same is true of similar devices that let out bright lights upon sensing motion. These devices are in no way a permanent solution, but could give you some peace of mind. You can also make your home less attractive by removing food and water sources where possible. If you feed pets or other wildlife outside, stop doing so as to not attract the raccoons. In addition, you can try sealing up possible entry points into your attic, though you should only do this if you are 100% sure the raccoon or baby raccoons aren’t in there at the moment. A mommy raccoon is a forced to be reckoned with if you seal her away from her babies! If these simple steps to modify the raccoon’s habitat don’t work, reach out to a [critter removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-animal-removal-blog/) expert for assistance.

Property](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/pest-control-tips-guide-to-keeping-nuisance-pests-away/) **Published:** February 1, 2023 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Pest Control Tips: The Ultimate Guide to Keeping Pests Away From Your Property ### Pest Control Tips: A Guide to Keeping Pests Away From Your Property ###### Are you being bugged by pests around your home? Check out our pest control tips for practical advice about keeping pests away from your property today. ![Keeping Pests Away From Your Property | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/AdobeStock_61850356-300x200.webp "AdobeStock_61850356 | Perimeter Wildlife Control")When you think of creating a sanctuary in your home, one of the primary things you would want is no unwanted animals in or around it. If that isn’t the case in your home right now, you are probably feeling unsafe and uncomfortable spending time at home, or even fearful to step foot outside. There are many things you can do to prevent wildlife like [flying squirrels](https://www.britannica.com/animal/flying-squirrel), grey squirrels, and rats/mice in your home. Here are some useful pest control tips that you can start applying right now to keep your home safe from wildlife and other unwanted creatures. ## 1. Make Sure Your Yard Is Clean and Clutter-Free If your yard is cluttered with garbage, old broken furniture, and other discarded items, then it’s going to be easy for animals like rodents, squirrels, flying squirrels, armadillos, opossums, foxes, bats, [and snakes](https://perimeterwildlife.org/critters/snake-removal-atlanta-ga/) to make their home in, around, or underneath the items. Animals are like humans in some ways, as they like to find a safe place to nest. So, overgrown weeds, piles of wood, and accumulated debris look like home to them and they are happy to nestle into it. That’s why it’s crucial to clean out any garbage in your yard and keep it as tidy as possible. If you haven’t decluttered your yard in a while, make a weekend of it. Invite friends and family with a promise of a meal and beverages, but get it done. Once you have a clean yard, it won’t be as attractive to unwanted creatures anymore, and it will be easier for you to spot any wildlife roaming about as well. It will also improve the aesthetics of your home, as it will look more inviting and pleasing to the eye. [Your home value](https://www.bankrate.com/mortgages/ways-to-increase-your-homes-value/) could possibly increase as well, which is a bonus. ## 2. Fill in Any Holes or Gaps in Your Home Rodents and smaller creatures are quite wily. They will find gaps, holes, or any other openings in your home and take advantage of them. They are mostly searching for food to sustain themselves, and if they can get into your well-stocked home, the better for them. These [nuisance critters](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlantas-troublsome-critters-rats-mice-squirrels/) are also at times searching for shelter, just a warm dry place. That’s why it’s crucial to fill up any gaps in your windows, walls, screen doors, or anywhere else, as soon as you notice them. Even if the hole seems ridiculously small, small creatures like [rats and mice](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlantas-troublsome-critters-rats-mice-squirrels/) can easily squeeze through it. So it’s important to close them off. Leaving your home vulnerable for even a day or two to outside forces can be harmful. This is because if one rodent gets into your home, then within a few days, you could have many babies running around. At that point, it becomes harder to clean up your home of such an infestation without professional wildlife and [pest removal services](https://perimeterwildlife.org/residential/). That’s why it’s better to do a preemptive strike and remove any possibility of them getting into your home in the first place. The more proactive you can be in this regard and close off holes, the more critter-free your home will be. ## 3. Put up a Fence and Keep an Eye on It If you don’t have a fence around your home yet and live in an area with a lot of wildlife, then what are you waiting for? It might be a bit of an expense at first to put a fence around your home, but it will give you some peace of mind that you seek. Fences are great at deterring wildlife and other pests from entering your property. You don’t have to fence off your entire property if your budget is low. However keep in mind that some animals will climb your fence if they want to be on your property badly enough. Consider fencing off a part of your property where wildlife seems to migrate the most. For example, if you have deer munching on grass in a particular area, then consider fencing off that area (it will need to be 8 feet or higher for deer). The cost of a professional fence installation will vary depending on the area being fenced, the materials used, and your location. If you are handy with tools, you could consider building a fence yourself. again keeping in mind that animals will climb said fence if their desire to be in your yard is high. ## 4. Eliminate Bird Feeders Bird feeders are a neon beacon to wildlife inviting them to come over and have a nibble. Yes, you want to do good for the environment by feeding hungry birds. Unfortunately, it could make your home a party zone for all [wildlife around like rodents,](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/rodent-wildlife-clearance-letters-atlanta-ga/) squirrels, and other critters. This is even more true if you live in an area with high winds because it will constantly disperse the seeds around your yard, attracting even more creatures. That’s why it’s a better idea to eliminate bird feeders all together and find another way to support the birds in your area. ## 5. Remove Food From Any Patio Furniture After a BBQ or a Party BBQs or outdoor parties are fun until someone forgets to clean up, attracting [wildlife and other pests](https://perimeterwildlife.org/wildlife-pest-removal-duluth-ga/) to come over and clean up the food for you. Don’t make that mistake yourself. Now, this doesn’t mean that you stop having outdoor parties. But make sure to take some time after each one to clean up all the food left behind as neatly as possible. Leaving behind even one or two sandwiches will entice wildlife to come and sniff out for more goodies. And no one wants to wake up in the morning and find wildlife of all kinds roaming about their yard searching for food. ## 6. DIY Pepper Spray Animals do not like hot pepper sauce. Maybe you understand their plight if spicy food makes you want to run away as well. Either way, it’s easy enough to make a homemade pepper spray that you can spray in all the areas that [wildlife critters](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlantas-troublsome-critters-rats-mice-squirrels/) like to frequent. All you need is some hot pepper sauce (make sure to handle it with gloves on), water, and a little bit of dish soap. Mix it all up by using a commercial blender in a well-ventilated area, and then transfer it into a spray bottle. Spray your critter-friendly areas once a week. This should deter them from coming around, although this is NOT a permanent solution it can buy you some time to figure out your next steps. ## 7. Use Commercial Animal Repellants Perhaps all you want to do is prevent wildlife from coming around to your property without harming or killing them. If that’s the case, then you can use commercially available animal repellants. These are available in most online and offline home goods stores, and there are usually different ones depending on the kind of animal you wish to prevent. You can put these all around your property, either by spraying or sprinkling them around. Follow the instructions for the animal repellant carefully, and make sure any pets or children in your home do not consume these products. ## 8. Get Professional Help If you have done everything possible and [wildlife or other pests](https://perimeterwildlife.org/wildlife-pest-removal-duluth-ga/) are still entering your home as if it’s their own. Then it’s time for you to call in some professional help. Perhaps you have something specific that’s attracting all these [critters to your home](https://perimeterwildlife.org/should-my-atlanta-ga-home-be-critter-proofed/), but you aren’t sure what it is exactly. The problem with [nuisance wildlife](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlantas-troublsome-critters-rats-mice-squirrels/) is that they are hard to catch since a lot of them scavenge at night when you are fast asleep. That’s why professionals are the ones to call upon in such an emergency critter situation. Professional wildlife and pest removal services like [Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlife.org/squirrel-removal-rodent-control-atlanta/ "Squirrel Removal OR Rodent Control?") deal with dozens of homes weekly.

Your Home or Garage and How to Get Rid of Them ### Signs of Snakes in Your Home or Garage and How to Get Rid of Them ###### If you want to keep your home or garage clear of snakes, this guide can help. Here are signs of snakes in your home or garage and how to get rid of them. Have you noticed any strange movements in your garage? Do you suspect the presence of a snake in your home? While most snakes aren’t venomous, odds are you don’t want one living in your home or garage. And if you’ve encountered a [venomous snake](https://www.ajc.com/life/home-garden/6-venomous-snakes-to-watch-out-for-in-georgia/TWFREY7QMLLUC4HKBSZCAW6GXA/) in your home or garage, it could be dangerous for you and your family. But don’t worry. In this post, we’ll give you the signs to look out for and how to remove the snakes or prevent their return. Learning about the signs of snakes in garages or homes as well as how to prevent them can save you time, money, and worry. Make sure your garage and home are snake-proof to protect your loved ones! Read on to learn more about some signs of snakes and how to get rid of them. ## Signs of Snakes in Homes or Garages Do you suspect that snakes may be present in your home or garage? If so, look for the following signs. ### Shed Snake Skin Shed snake skin is a common sign of a snake infestation in your garage / home. Snakes shed their skin as they grow, and it’s not unusual to find them in your garage. While this may not suggest current [snake activity,](https://perimeterwildlife.org/top-6-reasons-snakes-activity-is-on-the-rise-atlanta-ga/) stay alert for other signs. ### Snake Droppings Snake droppings are a clear sign of snake activity in your garage. They look like small to medium, cylindrical pellets. Look for warm, hidden areas where snakes may have been hiding or feeding. ### Odor Snakes have a unique, musky smell that can be pungent, especially in enclosed spaces. Remember that other factors can contribute to unpleasant smells in your garage. Mold or mildew growth, stagnant water, or [dead animals](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/dead-animal-removal-atlanta-ga/) can create odors like snakes. ### Holes and Cracks Snakes can enter your garage through even the tiniest openings. Snakes can squeeze through spaces as small as a quarter of an inch, so be thorough in your inspection! Look for gaps or holes in your home or garage’s walls, floor, or ceiling. Pay special attention to areas where pipes, wires, or other utilities enter the garage or structure. These are common points of entry for snakes and other unwanted critters. ## Getting Rid of Snakes If you have already identified the presence of a snake in your garage, the next step is to get it out! Here are some ways to remove snakes from your garage. ### Snake Traps One way is to use a [snake trap, which involves setting up a trap](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/snake-trapping-service-atlanta-ga/) and capturing the snake for later release into the wild. Traps are effective, but you must check the trap and release the snake. ### Call Pest Control Another choice is to call a professional [wildlife removal service](https://perimeterwildlife.org/critters/snake-removal-atlanta-ga/). This is often the safest choice for everyone involved! Perimeter Wildlife Control specializes in the [emergency removal](https://perimeterwildlife.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/emergency-pest-removal-24-hours/) of all nuisance wildlife. We can help get rid of any unwanted pest 24/7! ### Snake Repellent Snake repellent is designed to deter snakes from entering and nesting. Although there is no guarantee that repellants will work 100% of the time to keep the snakes away, you can use a natural repellent like cinnamon oil or a chemical repellant like [mothballs](https://www.poison.org/articles/taking-your-woolies-out-of-mothballs). While snake repellents can be effective, they aren’t foolproof. This may help deter snakes and other pests that aren’t already nesting. But if you already have a snake or [rodent infestation,](https://perimeterwildlife.org/rodent-infestation-emergency-atlanta-georgia/) consider something else. Some chemical repellents can be harmful to other animals. The harsh chemicals may have negative environmental impacts. Use caution and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using snake repellent or any other [pest control](https://perimeterwildlife.org/wildlife-pest-removal-duluth-ga/) type chemical. ![Signs of Snakes in Your Home or Garage | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/rat-snake-tree-768x512-p-500.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control") ## Preventing Further Entry Once you’ve identified and removed the snakes from your garage, it is time keep them out! Snakes are persistent creatures and can find their way into even the smallest gaps or holes. If you’re not thorough, they will get back in. ### Install Weatherstripping Weatherstripping is an effective way to seal gaps and create a snake-proof garage. Although weatherstripping isn’t “rodent proof” it can provide some resistance to snakes trying to enter your garage or home. Some good places to install weatherstripping include: - Around the garage door frame - Between the garage door panels - At the bottom of the garage door Weatherstripping can be your first line of defense against snakes and other non-chewing pests (ie: lizards). Not only will you keep snakes out, but you could improve your home’s energy efficiency! ### Caulk It Up You can seal cracks or holes in the walls or floor with silicone caulk or expandable foam. Snakes can fit through tiny spaces. If you’re thorough, silicone or foam sealants can keep them out for a long time! ### Close the Door Closing the garage door is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent snakes from getting in. If you need to keep the garage door open, use a screen or mesh curtain to help keep snakes and other pests out. ### Declutter Cluttered areas offer snakes hiding spots to rest, shelter from the sun, and a place to hunt for prey. When storing items in your garage, keeping them off the ground is a good practice. This helps [remove potential hiding spots for snakes](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/?p=1577). It can also prevent damage to your belongings if a flood occurs or you have a plumbing leak develop. ### Trim Overgrown Plants Overgrown plants and bushes give shelter and hiding spots for snakes. Unkept bushes near doors make it easier for snakes to make themselves at home in your garage. So trim those bushes! Don’t give snakes anywhere to hide. Trimming back overgrown plants and bushes can also help improve your property’s appearance. ### Remove The Food Source – Rodents and Other Critters Most snakes will frequent a property when there is something that draws their attention to it. A food source be it a rodent problem in your home or just chipmunks roaming your yard will likely attract snakes to your property. If you eliminate the food source, the snake will relocate itself to somewhere that the food is abundant. ![Signs of Snakes in Your Home or Garage | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/norway-rat-in-pipe.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control") ## Keep Snakes Out with Pest Removal If you suspect to have a snake infestation in your home or garage, the safest choice is to call a professional wildlife removal service.

House](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/8-expert-tips-for-dealing-with-a-snake-in-the-house/) **Published:** April 23, 2019 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # 8 Expert Tips for Dealing with a Snake in the House ### Searching for expert tips for dealing with a snake in the house near me? Studies have shown that Americans are afraid of all kinds of things. They’re scared of everything from public speaking and clowns to heights and, of course, the dark. There is one thing that Americans seem to fear more than anything else, though: SNAKES! According to one study, [over 50 percent of people](https://news.gallup.com/poll/1891/snakes-top-list-americans-fears.aspx) say they’re more scared of snakes than any of the other things we just mentioned. Generally speaking, most of the 130-plus snake species in the U.S. [are harmless](https://perimeterwildlife.org/critters/snake-removal-atlanta-ga/). But that isn’t going to make you feel any better if you ever find a snake in the house. You’re likely going to scream bloody murder and run for the hills. Rather than freaking out, there are better ways of dealing with a snake in the house. Here are 8 things you should do after spotting a snake in your home. ## 1. Take a Deep Breath and Try to Relax Your first instinct when you see a snake in the house is going to be to lose your mind. Unless you happen to be someone who loves snakes, you’re going to want to crawl out of your skin. Try *not* to do this. Instead, take a deep breath and stay as calm as you possibly can. This will prevent you from startling the snake and getting it all worked up. It’ll also help you keep the snake in whatever area it’s in now. If you start yelling and screaming, although snakes cannot actually hear (they sense vibration & heat), it could dart behind a dresser or underneath another piece of furniture and be difficult to find later. [![Dealing With a Snake In the House | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/66d8bfb6f82e1082e4ca7b02_unnamed.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control")](https://perimeterwildlife.org/critters/snake-removal-atlanta-ga/)Emergency Venomous Snake Removal by Perimeter Wildlife Control | Atlanta, GA ## 2. Observe the Way the Snake Is Moving Once you’ve spent a few moments calming yourself down, look at the snake in the house and observe the way that it’s moving. Is it: - Sitting in one spot and not moving? Stretched out? - Coiled up with its mouth open or sticking out its tongue? - Looking confused or like it’s lost? If the snake isn’t making many movements, that likely means it doesn’t see you as a threat. If, however, it’s staring right at you with its mouth open, it could strike at any moment. Gauge the snake’s body language so that you can anticipate how it may react next. ## 3. Figure Out If the Snake Is Venomous [![Dealing With a Snake In the House | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlife.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/slider_003-1024x320.jpg "Snake Removal in Atlanta, GA | Perimeter Wildlife Control")](https://perimeterwildlife.org/rodent-infestation-emergency-atlanta-georgia/)Emergency Snake Removal Services in Atlanta, Georgia There are, as we mentioned earlier, more than 130 snake species in the U.S. Only about 20 are venomous with [most venomous snakes being rattlesnakes](https://www.outdoorhub.com/stories/2016/06/03/top-10-deadliest-snakes-north-america/). In Georgia the 3 most common venomous snakes are Copperheads, Cottonmouth (Water Moccasin), & the Timber Rattlesnake. If you don’t live in a part of the country where rattlesnakes live, you probably don’t have to worry about a snake in your house being venomous. But you never know, so it’s better for you to be safe than sorry. Also note that most [venomous snakes](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/?p=1577) will normally not want to be in your home, & if they are, there is usually a reason (ie: warmth, food source, water source, etc.). Venomous snakes often have fat or swollen bodies, with an arrow shaped head. They also have small slits for eyes as opposed to a full pupil in 1 color & they also have fangs that expand & retract during a strike. If you notice any of these things when looking at the snake in your home, it could mean it’s venomous. Proceed with extreme caution. ## 4. Avoid Attacking the Snake Some homeowners react to seeing a snake in their house by attacking it with a broom, a stick, or another long / sharp object. They often do it instinctually in an effort to protect their homes & families. If you can avoid it, don’t attack a snake under any circumstances. Outside of the fact that you could put yourself in harm’s way, you’ll also be killing off an important part of the local ecosystem if you kill a snake. Also keep in mind, that IF you miss in your attack attempt, the snake will then feel threatened or scared. At this point it may attack you or slither off to hide, making it more difficult to locate later for the snake’s removal.

Remove Young Children and Pets From The Snake’s Vicinity Do you have young children or pets living in your house? They should be relocated away from the snake right away if it is in your home. Kids and pets often struggle to control their movements and could get a snake riled up if they’re around when one is in your house. At the very least, have your kids and pets stay in a different part of your home to avoid them coming into contact with the snake. Any snake in your home, whether venomous or non-venomous can bite, & a pet or child running by it could provoke the snake to strike. ## 6. Keep Your Distance From the Snake When you have a snake in the house, keep an eye on it at all times. They are escape artists! You don’t want to lose sight of the snake and allow it to escape to another part of your house where it could be difficult to locate. At the same time, stay *at least* a few feet away from the snake. It could strike at a moment’s notice if it feels threatened by you, and snakes move so quickly, that you might not even see it coming. Most snakes move quickly and can attack with very little to no warning. Even if you strongly suspect that a snake isn’t venomous, there is still no reason for you to get too close to it.

Contact a Snake Removal Company The most effective way to deal with a snake in the house is by reaching out to a licensed [snake removal company](https://perimeterwildlife.com/). Find a company that has plenty of experience removing snakes from homes and have them come out right away. They should provide you with some additional information about how to deal with the snake that has entered your home. They should also be able to send someone out to get rid of the snake sooner than later. ## 8. Seal Your Home to Prevent A Snake in the House How did a snake get into your house in the first place? Find its [entry point & any other potential entry areas](https://perimeterwildlife.org/should-my-atlanta-ga-home-be-critter-proofed/) and seal them up so that other snakes or critters don’t find their way into your home. You should also have your home inspected by a [licensed wildlife control company](https://perimeterwildlife.com/) or pest control company that can [look for signs of rodents](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/7-signs-you-have-a-rodent-problem/). Snakes tend to try to get into homes that have mice, rats, and other rodents in them so that they can feed on the rodents. in most cases, if the [rodent infestation](https://perimeterwildlife.org/4-things-on-atlanta-rodents-mind/) is controlled, the snake(s) will literally disappear because there is no food readily accessible to them.

It would be hard to blame you for losing your cool. A snake in the house is more than likely not going to do you any immediate harm. Most snakes won’t attack a human unless they’re provoked to do it. Note that provoked doesn’t necessarily mean intentionally, walking out of a bedroom & nearly stepping on the snake, though very unintentional could provoke it to strike at you. Keep calm and get in touch with a company that can lend a hand with your [snake problem](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlantas-troublesome-critters-wildlife/). They’ll be able to get the snake out of your house and reduce your stress levels.

Home](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/common-pest-animals-that-may-be-in-your-home/) **Published:** July 4, 2023 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Common Pest Animals That May Be in Your Home ### Your home is a warm and comfy place for pest animals to make a home. Here are common pest animals that may find their way into your home. ![Common Pest Animals in Your Home | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/AdobeStock_604795038-scaled.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control")Any kind of pest in your home poses a threat, such as [vector-borne diseases](https://www.epa.gov/pesticides/public-health-issues-caused-pests). These risks can come from pest animals like rodents and raccoons or a variety of insects. Unfortunately, animal pests are quite common in the majority of US homes. These pests can make their way into your home from a variety of access points. Sometimes, these pests may be living in your home without you even realizing it. This is why it is important to understand what you should do if pests move into your home. Keep reading to find out what common pest animals may be in your home right now. ## Rodents When it comes to home and garage pests, one of the most common is rodents. Rats and mice fall into the rodent category that most people are afraid of. This is one of the most common pest animals found in homes. This is because rodents can fit into almost any kind of opening. They are very flexible and can squeeze through a hole the [size of a pencil](https://www.cdc.gov/healthy-pets/rodent-control/seal-up.html). They are also very motivated to get into homes and garages. Rodents are often attracted to a variety of things in your home. This is not limited to food since they will eat almost anything they can chew. Rodents also do a great deal of damage to your home as they make their nests. Rodents also carry a variety of dangerous diseases that could impact your family and pets. ## Snakes Depending on where you live, you will have different animal issues. For instance, some people have issues with snakes getting into their homes. Snakes are thin and flexible, able to squeeze themselves into a variety of openings. This means a snake could slither its way into your home without you even realizing it. A lot of snakes are not necessarily dangerous, but you don’t want them in their home. Even if they aren’t venomous, they can still bite you and cause some damage. If left untreated, snakes will also end up dying in your home as it isn’t the right environment. That is why you want to have them removed as soon as possible once you spot them. ![Common Pest Animals in Your Home | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/rat-snake.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control")## Squirrels Pest animals are something that no homeowner wants to have to deal with. One pest you don’t want to see in your home is a squirrel. For the most part, squirrels tend to stay to themselves and don’t try to get into your home. But they will take advantage of the opportunity if it’s provided. This could result in you having an animal in your attic or your garage. Squirrels can also do a great deal of damage as they make their nest and tear things apart. If they find a place where there is food, they will make their home there. They are also very difficult to catch, so you will need help getting rid of them. ## Bats Another kind of animal that enjoys attics is something that most people are deathly afraid of. Bats don’t go out of their way to interact with humans, but it does happen sometimes. [Bats are attracted](https://perimeterwildlife.org/critters/bat-removal-atlanta-ga/) to areas that are dark and secluded. Empty rooms and attics provide the perfect atmosphere for them to rest and relax. You may even notice that bats are getting into your garage for this purpose. In general, bats are harmless, but you certainly don’t want them living in your home or garage. ## Birds When it comes to nature, it is impossible to limit all interactions. One animal you may have difficulties with is different birds in your area. Birds are attracted to any space where they can get food or create a nest. Unfortunately, that sometimes happens to be in your home or garage. Birds are attracted to attics and garages because they provide the perfect environment. These areas are safe and quiet, with plenty of areas to build a sturdy nest. ## Skunks The majority of homeowners deal with small animal pests rarely. But there are some rarer instances where you may deal with something a bit larger. One example of this is a skunk that may have made its way into your home or garage. Like any kind of animal, skunks will wander into any area that is open to them. They may like the safety that it provides or they may find a source of food. Skunks are relatively harmless, but they can start to stink up the place. ## Raccoons Another large animal you may have an issue with is a bit more worrisome. Raccoons are very curious creatures and enjoy investigating any space they have access to. They are attracted to food and other household products they may try to eat. Raccoons are very destructive and can give you a [very nasty bite](https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/raccoons-and-public-health) if they’re aggressive. If you have issues with raccoons getting into your home or garage, you need to call someone immediately. ![Common Pest Animals in Your Home | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/raccoon-trapped.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control")## Moles There are a variety of small animals that we all live around. A lot of these animals are reclusive and tend to stay away from humans whenever possible. But there are instances where humans and pest animals do come into contact. It is rare to find moles on your property, but you may find one or two in your garage. This is quite a rare instance and usually means there is an infestation. If that is the case, you have probably already seen signs of a mole infestation. You have probably noticed a variety of holes dug in your yard and soil tracked into your garage. ## What to Do If a Pest Animal Is In Your Home If you have pest animals, there are certain things you need to do. Even if you are an animal lover, pests cannot simply be left to do their own thing. You must address the issue as soon as you see it to avoid further issues. Here are some steps you need to take to get pests out of your home and garage. ### Remove Attractions Maybe you came home and noticed some rat droppings in your kitchen. If that is the case, you should remove all of the accessible food and throw it out. It may already be contaminated, and it will only attract more rats. The same goes for any kind of pest that is in your home. Removing what it is attracted to could result in it leaving you alone and moving on. ### Close Off the Area When you have a pest in your home, you don’t want it to move around. For instance, if you have found a raccoon in your basement, you want to close off that section. This ensures the animal will not run to another section of your home. This also makes it easier for animal removal services to safely catch the animal and take it elsewhere. ### Create a Way for Escape If at all possible, it is always best if the animal leaves itself. Maybe the pest is in your garage or your entryway. If that is the case, you could simply open the door and usher the animal out. This would be one of the best-case scenarios since no intervention is required. ### Call Animal Removal Services Have you found a pest in your home? If so, it isn’t always ideal to try to remove it yourself. This can be dangerous, and sometimes the past may need to be taken to a different environment. This is why it is a good idea to [call critter control ](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/)instead. Perimeter Wildlife Control provides animal removal services for all kinds of wildlife. They will safely remove the animal and take it elsewhere so that it doesn’t come back. This company can also perform inspections if you suspect that you have a pest problem. ## Common Pest Animals in Homes and Garages No matter where you live, pest animals are always going to be a problem. Animals love to break into homes and garages to find food and shelter. Some common pests include rodents and skunks that may have found a good hiding spot. No matter what kind of pest you are dealing with, you need to find a solution fast. Pests carry diseases and can do a great deal of damage to your home. They also pose a risk to your family and any pets you have living in the home.

Difference](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/infestation-vs-pests-understanding-the-difference/) **Published:** June 1, 2025 **Author:** John **Content:** When you hear a strange scratching in the walls or see a mouse dart across the kitchen floor, your first thought might be: **“Infestation!”** But not every wildlife encounter qualifies as one. Most homeowners confuse a **nuisance pest** problem with an actual **infestation**, which leads to unnecessary panic — or worse, delayed action. Understanding the difference can help you respond appropriately and protect your home more effectively. Here’s what you need to know. ## **What Is a Pest? A [**pest** is any animal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/) that enters your home, garage, warehouse, or yard and causes a disruption. This could be a single mouse, a squirrel in the attic, or a raccoon rummaging through the trash. A pest sighting typically involves: - **One or two animals** - **Isolated incidents** (like a rat sighting after leaving a door open) - **Minor damage** (such as a few chew marks or small droppings) Food sources, weather conditions, or easy entry points often draw pests inside. When you spot a single animal, like one rat in the wall, it’s not necessarily a [sign of a widespread problem](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/7-signs-you-have-a-rodent-problem/). However, **acting quickly** before a pest situation escalates into something more serious is crucial. ## **What Is an Infestation? An **infestation** happens when [pests settle](https://www.epa.gov/safepestcontrol) in and begin **breeding** inside your home or building. Infestations involve: - **Multiple animals** (e.g., a colony of bats, a rat nest) - **Breeding behavior** leading to rapid population growth - **Significant property damage** (chewed wiring, droppings, contamination) - **Persistent noise, smells, and sightings** across multiple areas For example, one [raccoon in your attic](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/common-raccoon-attic-issues-and-solutions/) might be a nuisance. But five [raccoons tearing insulation and defecating throughout your attic](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/common-raccoon-attic-issues-and-solutions/) space? That’s an [infestation — and a serious health](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/5-health-risks-associated-with-rodent-infestation-in-atlanta/) and safety concern. ## **Why It Matters Misidentifying a single pest as an infestation can cause unnecessary alarm (and sometimes overpaying for treatments you don’t need). On the flip side, **underestimating** a real infestation can lead to severe property damage, [health risks,](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/5-health-risks-associated-with-rodent-infestation-in-atlanta/) and expensive repairs. Knowing the difference helps you: - Choose the right wildlife control solution - Save money by targeting the actual problem - Protect your family, customers, and building assets - Stay compliant with wildlife protection laws (especially for species like bats) ## **How Perimeter Wildlife Helps** with Rodent Infestation At [**Perimeter Wildlife Control**](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/), we specialize in quickly diagnosing whether you’re dealing with a **nuisance pest** or a **full-blown infestation**. Our licensed technicians provide: - Thorough property inspections - Accurate identification of the issue - Customized removal and exclusion strategies - Humane treatment for all animals, with no unnecessary harm Whether it’s one squirrel or a full colony of bats, you can trust us to handle the situation with expertise and compassion — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.**If you’re hearing strange noises or spotting wildlife indoors, don’t wait.

Wildlife: Rats, Mice, Squirrels, & other common nuisance Rodents (part 2)](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/rat-control-atlanta-ga/) Welcome to Part 2 of Perimeter Wildlife Control’s Atlanta’s Most Troublesome Critters & Wildlife, a blog series. In this edition we talk about some of the [most common nuisance rodents](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rodent-infestation-emergency-atlanta-georgia/) we deal with in Metro Atlanta, GA. Let’s get right to it. The 3 most common [rodents controlled with in Atlanta, Georgia](https://perimeterwildlife.com/critters/) by [PerimeterWildlife.com](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com) are: - [The Eastern Grey Squirrel](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/squirrel-control-atlanta-ga/) - [The Roof Rat](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/rat-control-atlanta-ga/) - The Southern Flying Squirrel ![Atlanta's Most Troublesome Critters | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/squirrel-on-fence-p-500-300x214.webp "squirrel-on-fence-p-500 | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ![Atlanta's Most Troublesome Critters | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/roof-rat-on-tree-300x224.webp "roof-rat-on tree | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ![Atlanta's Most Troublesome Critters | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/flying-squirrel-300x200.webp "flying squirrel | Perimeter Wildlife Control") These 3 [rodents](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/emergency-wildlife-removal-atlanta-georgia/) while 3 totally different animals, are extremely similar in their habits. All 3 will consistently [chew on just about anything to keep their teeth sharp](https://www.cdc.gov/healthy-pets/rodent-control/), including wood, electrical wires, plumbing, [gutters](https://perimeterwildlife.com/services/leafproof-gutter-protection-atlanta-ga/) & just about anything else they can get their sharp little teeth on; they will also chew their way into places they would like to take up residence in. Similarly, they will also use [attic or crawlspace insulation](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/pest-animal-decontamination-atlanta-ga/), twigs, leaves, & numerous other materials they can gather to build nests in attics, walls, soffets, & roofs. ## Permanent Wildlife Exclusion Solutions Ultimately, the solution to prevent these [critters](https://perimeterwildlife.com/should-my-atlanta-ga-home-be-critter-proofed/) from entering your home or building is having a [wildlife exclusion](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-exclusion-animal-damage-repairs-atlanta-ga/) performed on the structure.

2019 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # TOP 4 THINGS ON EVERY ATLANTA RODENT’S MIND…… ![THINGS ON EVERY ATLANTA RODENT'S MIND | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/ratchewing.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control")Rat Chewing Electrical Wire ## The Rodent family (Rodentia) is extremely large and consists of many different species within the family, (rats, mice, squirrels, bats, chipmunks, etc.) just to name a few commonly dealt with in metro Atlanta, Georgia. Most [rodents](https://perimeterwildlife.com/7-signs-you-have-a-rodent-problem/) have many different characteristics, physical, habitual & otherwise. However, here at Perimeter Wildlife Control, “Atlanta’s 24/7 Wildlife Service!!” we have found the Top 4 Things on Every Rodent’s Mind in Atlanta & we explain them in this post. Remember, Perimeter Wildlife is on call 24/7 including weekends & holidays, if you require immediate [emergency rodent control or animal removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/services/emergency-pest-removal-24-hours/) in metro Atlanta, Georgia, CALL US NOW @ 770-369-7713. ### ![THINGS ON EVERY ATLANTA RODENT'S MIND | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/caged-rat-300x195.webp "caged rat | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ### 1. FOOD & WATER Every living organism needs food and water to survive & rodents are no different. Of course the spectrum of food chosen comes to the tastes of individual rodent. For example grey squirrels are primarily herbivores & eat nuts, acorns, leaves and such; while rats will literally eat anything including themselves or other rats. Rats will even eat objects with no nutritional value whatsoever, including holiday decorations in client’s attics. [Bats](https://perimeterwildlife.com/critters/bat-removal-atlanta-ga/) are carnivores 100% of the time, they consume 3 & 1/2 times their body weight in flying insects every night. ### 2.BATHROOM FACILITIES Once again like every living organism, rodents need to use the bathroom. Obviously their bathrooms do not contain toilets, sinks, etc., their bathroom is normally someone’s attic, basement, crawlspace, or even living space. Most [rodents in a typical](https://www.cdc.gov/healthy-pets/rodent-control/) day will defecate & urinate anywhere from 60-150 times! This is not just because they have tiny bodies & process foods faster than humans, but as they are expelling [urine & droppings](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/pest-animal-decontamination-atlanta-ga/), they are also leaving their scent behind so that they may follow it again later. The scent trail is the #1 reason critters will always make their way back to where they have previously been. ### ![THINGS ON EVERY ATLANTA RODENT'S MIND | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/AdobeStock_551130009-300x177.webp "AdobeStock_551130009 | Perimeter Wildlife Control")3.CHEWING Chewing is the most common damage characteristic of all rodents. Rodents chew on things to keep their teeth as sharp as possible. They have been known to be chewing on wood to make an [entry point](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-exclusion-animal-damage-repairs-atlanta-ga/) into a structure, electrical wiring, plastic water lines, wiring harnesses under the hood of vehicles, HVAC ductwork, among other things inside & around the home that can be very costly to repair or replace. ### ![THINGS ON EVERY ATLANTA RODENT'S MIND | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/rat-in-cage-300x214.webp "rat in cage | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ### 4.SHELTER Again most organisms on earth require some type of shelter, rodents are no different. Most times a critter’s idea of shelter can be extremely simple, their only requirements are that they can have a warm dry place to live & to have their little rodent babies. Nests often consist of insulation, leaves, or other organic debris, however client’s personal items stored in attics or basements (holiday decorations etc.) could also become [rodent nests](https://perimeterwildlife.com/rodent-infestation-emergency-atlanta-georgia/). ![THINGS ON EVERY ATLANTA RODENT'S MIND | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/squirrelentry.webp "OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ##### Perimeter Wildlife Control specializes in the [24 hour emergency trapping](https://perimeterwildlife.com/top-6-reasons-snakes-activity-is-on-the-rise-atlanta-ga/), removal, wildlife exclusion, & decontamination of ALL nuisance wildlife in the Metro Atlanta area.

Removal in Atlanta Georgia](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/emergency-wildlife-removal-atlanta-georgia/) **Published:** December 6, 2015 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Searching for Emergency Wildlife Removal in Atlanta Georgia and surrounding areas? ### Perimeter Wildlife Control has you covered with 24 hour emergency pest control services in Metro Atlanta, GA! While everyone loves nature and the different beautiful creatures that make their homes within it, no one really wants to invite a wild animal to live in their home, garden or surrounding areas. Especially if they have the potential to cause harm to those within the building, damage to the property or worse, damage to your personal health. Unfortunately, many people do not realize they have a problem when they see one or two scaly, furry or scurrying critters around. Through reproduction the odd sighting can quickly turn into an expensive and unhealthy infestation. This is leading home and business owners to need fast [emergency wildlife removal services](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/emergency-pest-removal-24-hours/) for their own peace of mind, safety and that of their families. #### **What pests will** [**www.PerimeterWildlifeControl.com**](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com) **commonly encounter?** Pests can come in many forms, but in Atlanta, Georgia there are certain animals and wildlife that are particularly troublesome. Knowing what to look for can make it easier to eradicate these nuisance pests and have your structure safeguarded to prevent future [critter infestations](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/). Due to humans having readily available sources of food. Humans also have advantageous environments for their survival, it is not uncommon for critters to find their way into residential areas, businesses, schools and churches. #### Predator Trapping in Atlanta, GA [Coyote removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/coyote-trapping-removal-atlanta-ga/) is becoming more common in Atlanta, Georgia due to more buildings taking over their territory. Raccoons are another animal that is commonly known to be a nuisance. From a distance or in a photograph raccoons seem harmless & cute. However when they enter the home it is soon realized just how strong they can be. Also how much destruction & damage raccoons can cause. Their favorite place for procreation is the attic of homes. Attics are warm and dry, and with a regular food source within the building they will have no desire to leave. ##### Squirrels ARE Rodents! We often think of squirrels as animals that inhabit trees rather than living in a building. However, Eastern Gray Squirrels are one of the most common species to cause problems for residents in Atlanta. This is because they also like to give birth (twice per year) in the attics of nearby structures. [Squirrels are rodents](https://perimeterwildlife.com/services/emergency-pest-removal-24-hours/) & will chew electrical wiring, duct work, gutters, woodwork and trim, & just about anything else the squirrel can sink its teeth into. Additionally the damage they can cause to [attic insulation](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/pest-animal-decontamination-atlanta-ga/) in a short amount of time is very substantial. ##### Nuisance Critters Found In Georgia The skunk’s infamous smell has been depicted in cartoons and definitely in comedies. However it’s not so funny when this animal makes its home under a building where people reside. To attract the opposite sex they emit the odor as well as for protection against predators which, although inviting to their love interest is not so nice for those that live there. The opossum is a marsupial is also known to be a nuisance in homes & other structures. Unlike many animals that will shy away from humans, these will steal from your food sources. Opossums like to live nearby for convenience once they find a food source. #### Other Nuisance Wildlife Found in Georgia Groundhogs may have a whole day of celebration dedicated to them because of their ability to predict weather. However, you don’t need to be psychic to know that having one digging holes into the ground around properties isn’t good. Not only does it look unsightly but can also cause expensive damage. With the average adult weighing more than a newborn baby their holes are huge. Groundhogs being a rodent they can multiply fast, as will the damage they cause. Other burrowing pests include the [Nine Banded Armadillo](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/armadillo-trapping-removal-atlanta-ga/) and moles. Moles build their homes under the ground in networks, but when surfacing leave mounds above. These deep tunnels can cause problems with the foundations of buildings needing extensive restoration work, as well as damage sod, grass, & other landscaping areas. #### Mice & Rats One of the most well known species of pests worldwide is the rat. The larger rats can weigh about 10lb or above. Most commonly removed in Atlanta, Georgia, the [roof rat](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/rat-control-atlanta-ga/) follows its namesake but will enter the home at ground level as well as attics to nest, roof rats are extremely acrobatic. They will also enter the living space to find food to bring back to the rodent nest. Rats coming in contact with human’s food supplies can spread disease. In addition, [rodents & wildlife](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/ "Pests, Critters, & Nuisance Animals") cause damage to the internal and external structure of the house while they commute to & from food / water sources and their rodent nesting areas. #### Snakes!! Around 130 different species of snake lives in North America, out of all of them there are 20 that are venomous. One or more of these on your property could be extremely dangerous, which is why they should be [removed immediately by a wildlife professional](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/contact/ "Contact Us") to prevent accidents. Most commonly removed snakes in Atlanta, Georgia include [Rat Snakes](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/snake-removal-atlanta-ga/ "Snake Removal & Snake Control"), California King Snakes, Corn Snakes, [Copperheads](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/copperhead-removal-service-in-dunwoody-ga/ "Copperhead Removal Service in Dunwoody, GA"), & Water Moccasins. [Timber Rattlesnakes](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/georgia-venomous-snake-removal-tips/ "Georgia Venomous Snake Removal Tips") can be found in Georgia, though the Metro Atlanta area does not see many of these aggressive & venomous snakes. #### Bats, NOT Vampires!! Bats may be nocturnal but can still be a nuisance when they colonize in lofts, sheds, attics, vents, eaves and other properties used by humans and pets. The [bats are natural carriers of rabies](https://perimeterwildlife.com/critters/bat-removal-atlanta-ga/) & are protected by federal law. Removal should only be conducted by a [professional animal removal service](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/dead-rodent-removal-services-why-should-you-hire-a-professional/) like Perimeter Wildlife Control. Our wildlife technicians are Georgia Department of Natural Resources certified to insure bats are removed in accordance with ALL laws & regulations. Additionally, the guano (feces) the bats excrete can create numerous health risks in and around your home in Atlanta, GA. ##### Bird Control & Prevention Techniques [Pigeons](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/commercial-wildlife-exclusion-protecting-your-business/ "Commercial Wildlife Exclusion: Protecting Your Business") in Atlanta are known for being unsanitary but being commonplace in urban areas it’s easy to see how they are also known as nuisance pests to control. Not only do they carry diseases, they have been around humans for so long they are happy to get in close proximity. The sheer amount of them and the availability of food that people drop or put into public bins mean that the droppings are everywhere! Pigeons as well as other birds will, continually return to roosting areas & birthing sites if a solution like [Bird spikes, bird netting, visual bird deterrents, noise makers, or other products to control pigeons in Atlanta, GA.](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/commercial-pest-removal-atlanta-georgia/ "Commercial Pest Removal & Rodent Control | Atlanta GA") ### **How are the animals removed?** Depending on the type of [emergency animal removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/emergency-pest-removal-24-hours/ "Emergency Pest Removal Service") required in Atlanta, wildlife can be removed by hand with specialty equipment, the use of humane live traps is common when attempting to “trap and relocate” wildlife to their natural habitat. Animals that pose a risk to the health and safety of humans (ie: rats, raccoons, [coyotes](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/coyote-trapping-removal-atlanta-ga/)) will need to be disposed of to prevent them from causing risks, damages, or injuries elsewhere. After removal, those that were taken from an area where disease could be left behind the contaminated areas can be sanitized as part of a [trapping service](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-animal-trapping-and-removal-atlanta-ga/) to ensure the safety of those that live or work in the home or building. #### **Prevention techniques** It’s one thing to remove[ nuisance wildlife & control critters](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/) and pests 24/7 in Atlanta, Georgia, but another to ensure they don’t return especially when conditions are extremely conducive in the Atlanta Metro area. If the critters made their way in once, they WILL do so over & over again. [Wildlife Exclusion](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-exclusion-atlanta-ga/ "Wildlife Exclusion Repair Service Atlanta GA") in Atlanta, is another service offered by Perimeter Wildlife Control, wildlife exclusions can be conducted as a preventative solution or a remedy to a currently active [critter](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-exclusion-animal-damage-repairs-atlanta-ga/) issue. This can be used when moving into a known [pest area to ensure infestation](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/) and repopulation doesn’t occur in the first place or to a building/area where there have been previous problems. #### The Wildlife Exclusion Process This is achieved by first sealing any primary areas that may be active entry points as well as secondary areas that will become entry points. Secondly continually trapping animals that may have been left inside when the structure was sealed is important to prevent critters from dying inside walls & inaccessible areas. Finally, [Decontamination & Sanitizing](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/pest-animal-decontamination-atlanta-ga/) of all active areas to get rid of smells that could attract further animals is recommended as well as [attic insulation](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/pest-animal-decontamination-atlanta-ga/) being removed & replaced as needed (soiled with dropping & urine, nesting materials, or non-sufficient insulation levels). #### **Other Critter Removal services** Other critter [removal services](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/5-tips-for-hiring-a-rodent-removal-service/) offered by Perimeter Wildlife Control in Atlanta, Georgia include: - [24/7 Emergency Animal Removal](https://perimeterwildlife.com/should-my-atlanta-ga-home-be-critter-proofed/) - [Gutter Protection – Leafproof](https://perimeterwildlife.com/services/leafproof-gutter-protection-atlanta-ga/) - Carcass / dead animal Removal - Odor control services - Real Estate Clearance Letters - [Insulation Services in Atlanta, GA](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/pest-animal-decontamination-atlanta-ga/) - [Decontamination & Sanitizing of infected areas](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/pest-animal-decontamination-atlanta-ga/) ##### FOR IMMEDIATE 24 hour [EMERGENCY PEST REMOVAL SERVICES IN ATLANTA, GA](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/services/emergency-pest-removal-24-hours/) CALL Perimeter Wildlife Control 770-369-7713 – 24/7!

Wildlife](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wildlife-diseases-dangerous-diseases-transmitted-by-wildlife/) **Published:** October 16, 2023 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Dangerous Diseases Carried or Transmitted by Wildlife in Your Home ### Wildlife Diseases: Dangerous Diseases Transmitted by Wildlife It’s not uncommon for animals like mice, squirrels, and foxes to make their way into homes. Unfortunately, each unwanted guest is a potential disease carrier. In some cases, these diseases can require immediate medical attention. A 2021 study reported that residents of nearly [15 million housing units](https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/04/how-many-american-homes-have-pests.html) had seen rodents in the past 12 months. It’s imperative you understand the [risks of an infestation](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/5-health-risks-associated-with-rodent-infestation-in-atlanta/) so you can take action in this situation. Let’s explore some of the most common wildlife diseases transmitted by wild animals in your home. ## ![Wildlife Diseases: Dangerous Diseases Transmitted by Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/caged-rat-300x195.webp "caged rat | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ## Rabies Most people are familiar with this disease, but not everyone understands what it does. This condition [affects the nervous system](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/rabies/symptoms-causes/syc-20351821) in humans and animals. It’s primarily transmitted through bites or scratches. Infected saliva could also transmit the disease. The most common animals that have rabies in the US [are raccoons](https://perimeterwildlife.org/raccoon-removal-services-atlanta-georgia/), skunks, foxes, bats, and coyotes. The disease could rarely infect deer, opossums, and rabbits. If you’re scratched or bitten by a wild animal, it’s essential to seek treatment immediately. You should still do so even if you aren’t sure you were bitten or scratched. For example, bats have small teeth that don’t leave deep wounds. These marks could disappear quickly and leave you unaware you’ve been bitten. ## Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) This virus can become airborne, allowing it to be transmitted by breathing microscopic particles. Unlike rabies, bites and scratches often don’t infect the victim. People become infected by touching contaminated urine, droppings, or saliva. If they then touch their eyes or an open wound, the disease could be transmitted. Although not quite as common, infection is also possible from consuming contaminated food or water. It’s important to note that this condition is not transmitted between humans. This disease can cause severe respiratory distress, making immediate medical treatment necessary. ## Lyme Disease This disease isn’t caused by animal attacks. Instead, it can be caused by ticks that latch onto [pests in your home](https://perimeterwildlife.org/common-pest-animals-that-may-be-in-your-home/). Symptoms of Lyme disease include headaches, fatigue, and unexplained rashes. The primary issue with Lyme disease is that it can lead to serious complications if not treated. Victims could experience arthritis, facial palsy, and heart palpitations. You can use antibiotics to treat the disease if you catch it early enough. ## Salmonellosis As the name implies, this infection is caused by salmonella bacteria. Primary symptoms include intense vomiting, diarrhea, and intestinal cramps. Although this condition might seem serious, it usually doesn’t require medical treatment. Consistent hydration and electrolyte replenishment can improve your symptoms. ## How to Recognize Infestations It’s crucial to [understand the signs you have an infestation](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/?p=8256). This will ensure you safely [remove the pests](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/emergency-pest-removal-in-atlanta/) and don’t contract diseases interacting with them. Listed below are some of the most notable. ![Wildlife Diseases: Dangerous Diseases Transmitted by Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/AdobeStock_822350469.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control") ### Strange Sounds and Odors When [animals enter your home](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/common-pest-animals-that-may-be-in-your-home/), it’s common to hear strange noises. These are often faint, erratic sounds in your walls or ceiling. Pay attention to if these noises sound like footsteps. This is a telltale sign that rodents or similar animals have found a new place to live. You might also notice a strong odor once pests move in. The worse this smell becomes, the more this issue needs your attention. ### Gnaw or Scratch Marks It’s not uncommon for pests to chew through materials like wood or drywall. They will also scratch these materials while climbing them or navigating your home. Rodents often gnaw on hard surfaces to trim their teeth. These marks could be signs of a [rat infestation](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/roof-rat-infestations-prevention-and-control/). If a large number of [rodents nest in your home](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rodent-control-protecting-your-home-from-rodents/), you might notice significant property damage shortly after. In extreme cases, pests will chew through electrical wires inside the walls. This could cause substantial problems for your family. If you’ve experienced random issues with your home’s electricity, pests could be to blame. ### Nesting Animals that invade your home will make themselves as comfortable as possible. This involves creating nests from available materials. They’ll use insulation, paper, fabric, or mattress filling to create a safe space. It can be difficult to spot nests when investigating your home for wild animals. The best way to recognize them is by looking for assorted materials gathered together. Keep in mind that animals prefer to hide their nests. You might have to look in obscure areas to find them. ### Pest Droppings Pest droppings are the most obvious sign there’s a problem you need to address. These often look like dirt or debris, but they have an odor. It’s crucial to remove these as soon as possible. As previously mentioned, droppings could transmit diseases to animals or people. Call a professional if you notice issues like these in your home. ### Grease Tracks Many [pests follow the same path to use your home](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/home-pest-inspections-atlanta-ga/)‘s resources. For example, mice will often use the same path to travel to a leaky pipe for water. Eventually, dirty grease tracks form. These are most likely to form by the walls of your home. You can use them to follow the trail back to the nest. ## Dealing with Infestations Left unchecked, pest [infestations can quickly spiral out of control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/prevention-control-rodent-infestation-atlanta/). This substantially increases the chance that these animals will transmit diseases. To take action, get in touch with a professional. They have the tools and resources required to achieve the best results. Look into their past reputation before making your decision. There should be no shortage of positive feedback from previous customers. Ask about their pricing structure, as well. The last thing you want is to encounter financial surprises. Are they experienced with handling problems like yours? Make sure they have frequently dealt with your type of situation. For instance, you might need a company that specializes in animal [trapping and squirrel removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/coyote-trapping-removal-atlanta-ga/). ## Don’t Overlook These Wildlife Diseases Animals that enter your home can sometimes seem friendly and non-threatening. However, they’re unpredictable and could transmit wildlife diseases if you interact with them. Contact a professional immediately if you notice the presence of wild animals in your home.

Snake-Free](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/keeping-your-atlanta-property-snake-free/) **Published:** January 18, 2025 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Keeping Your Atlanta Property Snake-Free Snakes are an important part of the ecosystem, playing a crucial role in controlling rodent populations and maintaining ecological balance. However, when snakes venture too close to human dwellings, they can cause fear and pose potential risks to residents, especially if venomous species are involved. At Perimeter Wildlife Control, we offer comprehensive snake [control services designed to safely and humanely manage](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/?p=7666) snake encounters on your property. This blog post will explore the importance of snake control, how to identify snake activity, the risks they pose, and the benefits of hiring professional snake control services. ## ![Keeping Your Atlanta Property Snake-Free |Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20160504_163051-e1555993763345-169x300.jpg "20160504_163051-e1555993763345 | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ## Why Snake Control is Essential While snakes are generally not aggressive toward humans, their presence on your property can be unsettling and dangerous, particularly if you have children, pets, or if venomous species are common in your area. Here’s why snake control is crucial: 1. **Safety Concerns**: Venomous snakes, such as rattlesnakes, copperheads, and water moccasins, can deliver a potentially dangerous bite if provoked or accidentally stepped on. Even non-venomous snakes can bite if threatened, leading to injuries or allergic reactions. 2. **Pest Control Misconceptions**: While snakes do help [control rodent populations](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/4-things-on-atlanta-rodents-mind/), having them in or around your home is not an effective pest control method. Their presence can attract other predators and lead to further issues. 3. **Prevent Property Damage**: Snakes can enter homes through small openings and may take up residence in attics, basements, or crawl spaces. They can damage insulation, wiring, and other structures as they move around. 4. **Reduce Fear and Anxiety**: For many people, the presence of snakes can cause significant fear and anxiety. Professional snake control helps ensure peace of mind by removing these unwanted visitors. ## Identifying Snake Activity on Your Property Knowing how to identify signs of snake activity can help you take action before a problem becomes more serious. Here are some common indicators that snakes may be present on your property: 1. **Shedded Snake Skins**: As snakes grow, they shed their skin. Finding these shedded skins around your property, particularly near entry points like doors, windows, or foundations, is a clear sign of snake activity. 2. **Snake Tracks**: In dusty or muddy areas, you might find the distinctive winding tracks of a snake’s movement. These tracks can be especially noticeable in basements, attics, or near water sources. 3. **Nests and Eggs**: Snakes lay eggs in sheltered areas like wood piles, compost heaps, or dense shrubbery. Discovering these nests is a strong indicator that snakes are breeding on your property. 4. **Droppings**: Snake droppings are typically dark and may contain visible fur or bones from their prey. They are often found in areas where snakes are likely to travel, such as along walls or in corners. 5. **Sightings**: Direct sightings of snakes, whether inside your home or in your yard, are the most obvious sign of an issue. Seeing multiple snakes or frequent sightings suggests a more significant problem. ### Risks of Ignoring Snake Problems Failing to address a snake problem can lead to several risks, including: 1. **Increased Danger of Bites**: Ignoring a snake problem increases the risk of a potentially dangerous encounter, especially if [venomous snakes](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/snake-trapping-service-atlanta-ga/) are involved. Bites can cause severe pain, medical complications, and in rare cases, can be life-threatening. 2. **Property Damage**: Snakes can cause damage by nesting in attics, basements, or walls, where they may displace insulation, chew through materials, or cause structural damage. 3. **Secondary Pests**: A snake presence might attract secondary pests, such as insects or smaller rodents, which can further complicate pest control efforts. 4. **Health Hazards**: Even non-venomous snakes can pose health risks by carrying parasites such as mites and ticks, which can infest your home and pose a threat to your family and pets. ### Professional Snake Control Services: What to Expect When you choose Perimeter Wildlife Control for snake control services, you can expect a comprehensive approach to [managing snake encounters](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/snake-removal-atlanta-ga/) on your property.

Effective Bat Control Services in Atlanta, GA by Perimeter Wildlife Control Bats play an essential role in our ecosystem, contributing to insect control and pollination. However, when bats take up residence in your home or business, they can pose significant health risks and cause structural damage. At Perimeter Wildlife Control, we offer comprehensive bat control services designed to safely and humanely remove bats from your property while preventing future infestations. This blog post will explore why bat control is essential, how to identify a bat infestation, the risks associated with bats in your home, and the steps involved in professional bat removal and exclusion. ### ![Effective Bat Control Services Atlanta GA|Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20190507_0135460-261x300.jpg "20190507_0135460 | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ### Why Bat Control is Important While bats are beneficial in the wild, they can become a serious problem when they roost in buildings. Here’s why bat control is crucial: 1. **Health Risks**: Bats are known [carriers of diseases](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wildlife-diseases-dangerous-diseases-transmitted-by-wildlife/), most notably rabies and histoplasmosis. Rabies can be transmitted through bites or scratches, while histoplasmosis is a respiratory disease caused by inhaling spores from bat droppings (guano). Both conditions can pose serious health threats to humans and pets. 2. **Structural Damage**: Bats can cause significant damage to buildings when they roost in attics, walls, or other enclosed spaces. Accumulated guano can lead to foul odors, staining, and damage to insulation, drywall, and other building materials. 3. **Infestation Growth**: If left unchecked, a small bat problem can quickly grow into a large infestation. Bats are colonial animals, meaning they live in large groups, and their presence can attract more bats to your property over time. 4. **Noise and Disturbance**: Bats are nocturnal and can create noise and disturbance, especially if they are roosting in large numbers. The sound of bats moving, squeaking, and flying in and out of your home can be unsettling and disruptive. ### How to Identify a Bat Infestation Early identification of a bat infestation can help you address the problem before it worsens. Here are some common signs that bats may be living in your home: 1. **Visible Sightings**: Seeing bats flying around your home, particularly at dusk or dawn, is a clear indication that you may have a bat infestation. If you see bats entering or exiting from vents, eaves, or openings in your roof, it’s a strong sign they are roosting inside. 2. **Guano Accumulation**: Bat droppings, or guano, are small, dark, and pellet-shaped, often accumulating in piles below the entry points or in areas where bats roost. Guano is a strong indicator of a bat presence and should be handled carefully due to health risks. 3. **Stains and Odors**: Bats often leave greasy stains near their entry points from the oils in their fur. Additionally, a strong ammonia-like smell from accumulated guano can permeate your home if the infestation is severe. 4. **Noises in the Attic or Walls**: Bats are nocturnal, so you may hear scratching, squeaking, or flapping noises at night as they move around in the attic or walls. 5. **Flying Indoors**: Occasionally, a bat may mistakenly enter the living areas of your home. If you find a bat indoors, it is often a sign that others may be roosting in your home. ### Risks of Ignoring a Bat Infestation Ignoring a bat infestation can lead to several serious risks: 1. **Health Hazards**: The risk of disease transmission increases with prolonged exposure to bat guano and urine. Histoplasmosis, in particular, can become airborne when guano is disturbed, posing a significant respiratory threat to those in the home. 2. **Increased Infestation Size**: Bats can reproduce quickly, and what starts as a small problem can escalate into a large infestation if not addressed promptly. 3. **Extensive Property Damage**: Bats can cause damage to insulation, wiring, and other building materials. Over time, the accumulation of guano can cause severe structural damage and lead to costly repairs. 4. **Legal and Ethical Concerns**: Many bat species are protected by law due to their ecological importance. Attempting to remove or harm bats without proper knowledge and permits can lead to legal consequences. Additionally, harming bats can disrupt local ecosystems. ## Professional Bat Control Services: What to Expect When you hire [Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/) for bat management, you can expect a comprehensive approach to safely and effectively handle the infestation.

Control?](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/squirrel-removal-rodent-control-atlanta/) **Published:** January 13, 2022 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # I’m hearing noises in my attic! Do I need Squirrel Removal or Rodent Control in Atlanta GA? ### [![Squirrel Removal OR Rodent Control? | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/AdobeStock_822350469.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control")](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/AdobeStock_822350469.webp) ### [![Squirrel Removal OR Rodent Control? | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/squirrel-in-gutter-min-p-500.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control")](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/squirrel-in-gutter-min-p-500.webp)[![Squirrel Removal OR Rodent Control? | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/gutter-screen-squirrel-scaled.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control")](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/gutter-screen-squirrel-scaled.webp)If you’re hearing noises in your attic and are not sure what’s going on or what you need to do, [Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlife.org/home/ "Home") can help with your emergency critter control needs 24 hours a day. The first thing that needs to be determined is what critter you are dealing with. When clients deal with a critter issue in their homes, most phone calls to us begin somewhat frantically with “Hi, I think I have a squirrel in my attic & need it gone ASAP!” Although the client may assume they have a squirrel problem in their Atlanta GA home, a good portion of the time it can be just that, an assumption. [![Squirrel Removal OR Rodent Control? | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/squirrel-on-fence-p-500.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control")](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/squirrel-on-fence-p-500.webp) During this initial phone call, the 1st question usually asked by Perimeter Wildlife Control to the potential client usually is “Are you [hearing noises in your attic](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlanta-weather-24-hour-emergency-wildlife-removal/ "Atlanta Weather & 24 Hour Emergency Wildlife Removal"), at night or during the day?” If the client replies that they are hearing night time activity, we break the news to them that they are likely dealing with other rodents (ie: [rats, mice, or flying squirrels](https://perimeterwildlife.org/7-signs-you-have-a-rodent-problem/ "7 Signs You Have a Rodent Problem")) in their attic & not squirrels; rats & mice are nocturnal & grey squirrels are diurnal (active during the day). In our experience, clients tend to think they have squirrels because they don’t want to think or talk about having rats. Rats are normally associated with being dirty & with filth, no one wants to have [rats in their home; whereas squirrels](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlantas-troublsome-critters-rats-mice-squirrels/) are cute with bushy tails & do acrobatic things in the trees. Having squirrels in your attic also tends to be easier to talk about with neighbors & friends. At some point or another everyone has or had a “[critter in the attic](https://perimeterwildlife.org/rodent-infestation-emergency-atlanta-georgia/ "Rodent Infestations in Atlanta, Georgia")” situation. #### How are rats & squirrels different? ![Squirrel Removal OR Rodent Control? | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/peeking-squirrel-300x155.webp "peeking squirrel | Perimeter Wildlife Control")Apart from being active at different times of the day, the reality is that both [squirrels](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlantas-troublesome-critters-wildlife/ "Atlanta’s Most Troublesome Critters & Wildlife – A series of wildlife information blog posts – Introduction….(part 1)") & [rats](https://perimeterwildlife.org/4-professional-rodent-removal-secrets-for-atlanta-georgia-homeowners/ "4 Professional Rodent Removal Secrets That Work for Atlanta, Georgia Homeowners") are extremely similar with the damages they can cause in an attic & their habits. They both constantly chew on just about anything to keep their teeth sharp including electrical wiring, plumbing, & other mechanical systems of the home. [Rodents chewing on electrical wires](https://perimeterwildlife.org/4-professional-rodent-removal-secrets-for-atlanta-georgia-homeowners/ "4 Professional Rodent Removal Secrets That Work for Atlanta, Georgia Homeowners") or other components inside a home or structure can be potentially very hazardous. They also both leave their feces & urine during their travels as well as in nesting areas or attics & crawlspaces. The droppings left behind can cause numerous illnesses to the inhabitants of the [home & additionally leave a scent behind for other animals](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/common-pest-animals-that-may-be-in-your-home/) to be attracted to. This scent will attract other critters of the same species, but will also attract other animals such as [predators looking for food (ie: raccoons)](https://georgiawildlife.com/living-with-wildlife). ##### The Solution to your Critter Issues![![Squirrel Removal OR Rodent Control? | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/AdobeStock_1421960327.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control")](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/AdobeStock_1421960327.webp) Ultimately, the permanent solution to the situation is what Perimeter Wildlife Control deals with on a daily [24 hours](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlanta-weather-24-hour-emergency-wildlife-removal/) a day. First things first, the [animals need to be trapped & removed](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/) from the property. Secondly, the entry points where they have been accessing the structure need to be sealed & repaired in order to prevent future entry. Finally after the [exclusion repairs](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-exclusion-animal-damage-repairs-atlanta-ga/) are completed, cleaning up the droppings & sanitizing the effected areas is necessary so other animals are not continually attracted to return to the structure. ###### Emergency Animal Removal to Solve Your Wildlife Situation. At Perimeter Wildlife Control, we specialize in ALL aspects of the [animal removal & wildlife exclusion](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlantas-troublsome-critters-rats-mice-squirrels/ "Atlanta’s most troublsome Critters & Wildlife (part 2): Rats, Mice, Squirrels, & other common nuisance Rodents") process, as well as the [animal clean-up & decontamination process](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/pest-animal-decontamination-atlanta-ga/ "Pest Decontamination"). We are NOT a regular [pest control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/commercial-pest-removal-atlanta-georgia/) company or exterminator. We are also a real 24 emergency hour service offering same day service, which means if you wake up to get a glass of water at 1:00 am & see a [rat run across your kitchen](https://perimeterwildlife.org/rodent-infestation-emergency-atlanta-georgia/), you don’t have to wait a day or 2 for service. Give us a [call now](https://perimeterwildlife.org/contact/) @ 770-369-7713 & we can get you on our schedule immediately. Perimeter Wildlife Control is based in Woodstock, Georgia, but [services the entire Metro Atlanta area](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/service-areas/) & beyond. Our normal service area is north to south from [Blue Ridge to McDonough](https://perimeterwildlife.org/blue-ridge/) & east to west from Newnan to Winder & anywhere in between, an extended service area is also available.

Removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/why-you-should-never-diy-wildlife-removal/) **Published:** June 20, 2025 **Author:** John **Content:** # Why You Should Never DIY Wildlife Removal Wild animals in your attic, crawlspace, or chimney can be a real headache. When homeowners discover a raccoon in the attic or a squirrel in the walls, their first instinct might be to solve the problem themselves. But before you grab a trap or start sealing up holes, take a step back. DIY wildlife removal is not only risky — it can also be **illegal, ineffective, and dangerous**. At Perimeter Wildlife Control, we’ve seen the costly aftermath of DIY attempts all across the Greater Atlanta area. Here’s why calling in the professionals is always the safer, smarter choice. ![Why You Should Never DIY Wildlife Removal|Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/raccoon-yelling-from-trash-can-1024x682.webp "raccoon yelling from trash can | Perimeter Wildlife Control")## **The Risks of DIY Wildlife Removal** Removing wildlife may seem simple, but it’s a process that requires knowledge of **animal behavior, legal regulations, and safe exclusion techniques**. Without training, you could make things much worse. ### **Why You Should Avoid DIY Wildlife Removal:** - **Health Risks**: Wild animals can carry diseases like rabies, leptospirosis, and parasites that are harmful to humans. - **Injury**: Animals trapped or cornered become aggressive. Bites and scratches are serious risks. - **Legal Trouble**: In Georgia, many species (like bats) are protected by law. Handling them without a permit can lead to fines or legal action. - **Property Damage**: Sealing entry points without proper inspection may trap animals inside, leading to more destruction and odor. - **It Often Fails**: Incomplete removal means animals return — or worse, they reproduce. The Centers for [Disease Control and Prevention](https://www.cdc.gov/rabies/php/protecting-public-health/) (CDC) warns that exposure to wildlife droppings, bites, and nesting materials can result in serious infections and respiratory problems. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources also notes that mishandling protected species, such as specific bat populations, is a violation of state law. ## **Why Professional Wildlife Control Is Worth It** Hiring a licensed wildlife [control expert ensures your home](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rodent-control-protecting-your-home-from-rodents/) is handled with care and legal compliance. At Perimeter Wildlife, we use **[humane removal and exclusion methods](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/guide-to-ga-humane-wildlife-trapping-services/ "The Essential Guide to GA Humane Wildlife Trapping Services")** that are safe for both the animals and your family. ### **With Our Help, You’ll Get:** - A full inspection of your home or business - Safe and legal wildlife removal - Exclusion services to seal all potential entry points - Cleanup of droppings, nesting, and damage - 24/7 emergency services when you need them most We don’t rely on traps and guesswork. We use proven strategies to keep animals out for good. ## **Ready to Protect Your Home?** Don’t [risk your health](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/5-health-risks-associated-with-rodent-infestation-in-atlanta/) or property. If you hear strange noises in your walls or find signs of wildlife, **contact Perimeter Wildlife Control**.

Click here to find out more. Coyotes have a healthy population, being so numerous that scientists aren’t able to count an accurate tally. With the highest estimate being at [ten million](https://a-z-animals.com/blog/coyote-population-by-state/) just in North America, some people are concerned about coyote control. One of the first things to understand about controlling and avoiding these animals is to know what attracts coyotes. If you have a coyote problem, you can sometimes remedy the issue by removing anything that attracts them. But what attracts coyotes, and how can you keep your property safe? If you’re curious about coyote control, we’re here to guide you. Read on to learn about how we can help you fix your coyote problem in metro Atlanta, GA. ![Atlanta Coyote Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlife.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/coyote-trapping-georgia.jpg "coyote trapping georgia | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ## What Attracts Coyotes in Atlanta, GA? The first and most important thing is understanding what attracts coyotes to your property. Here are some of the most common things that attract coyotes. ### Food Like most wild [animals and pests](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rodent-clearance-letter-in-georgia/), coyotes are attracted to food. One of the most common places to leave food is in your trash can. If you live near the woods, a great option is to use bear-resistant trash cans. These cans are better at keeping the scent of your food in the can to stop bears or other wild animals from sniffing it out. In the case where a wild animal *does* detect the food, they’re less likely to be able to reach the food. Failure can lead to frustration, which will eventually deter the animal. But the best way is to try to never have food out in the open. Consider putting food scraps into a compost bin and keeping it covered to reduce how far the smell travels. That way, you’ll have less food in your trash cans to attract wild animals. If you’re cooking outside, you shouldn’t worry as much about coyotes coming after your barbecue. [Coyote attacks aren’t common](https://urbancoyoteresearch.com/coyote-info/how-avoid-conflicts-coyotes#:~:text=Although%20coyotes%20have%20been%20known,through%20modification%20of%20human%20behavior.), and they’re typically scared off by human activity. Still, if you’re alone and coyotes have been adventuring near your property, you should keep protection with you. ### Safety and Shelter Another draw for coyotes toward your property is the promise of safety and shelter. You may have found coyotes sleeping under your porch or beneath an awning. If there’s severe weather, coyotes are also more likely to use your home as a shelter. If a coyote is distressed, such as injured or starving, they may decide to brave human activity and hide near your home. These draws don’t often attract coyotes repeatedly, as once they feel safe, they may move on. However, if a coyote is repeatedly using your home as a den, you should contact coyote control specialists. Here at Perimeter Wildlife Control, we’re happy to aid you in removing any pest, from [coyotes to raccoons](https://perimeterwildlife.com/raccoon-removal-services-atlanta-georgia/) and everything in between. ### Animals Finally, one factor that may draw coyotes to your property is animals. In some cases, this may fall under the category of food. Free-roaming pets can often attract coyotes and other predatory animals. If you have a cat or small dog that roams the yard, the coyote may see these animals as a meal. Coyotes [tend to attack](https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/coyotes-pets-and-community-cats#:~:text=Coyotes%20typically%20hunt%20small%20mammals,attacks%20on%20them%20are%20rarer.) small mammals, including rabbits, [mice and rodents](https://perimeterwildlife.com/4-professional-rodent-removal-secrets-for-atlanta-georgia-homeowners/), as well as cats. Smaller breeds of dogs are at risk, though attacks are rarer against dogs. Large dogs, especially ones bigger than the average coyote, are usually safe. ![Atlanta Coyote Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/rat-and-babies.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control") ## Threats of Coyotes Why shouldn’t you let coyotes stay near your property? Sometimes, people are tempted to adopt or provide for these wild animals. If you’re tempted to do so, you should call for coyote control specialists instead. With [coyote trapping](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/coyote-trapping-removal-atlanta-ga/) and other non-lethal options, the coyote can be rehomed elsewhere or put in a sanctuary. Here are some of the primary threats of letting a coyote problem go unattended. ### Safety Threats The most important threat is the safety issue that these animals present. Other than attacking your pets, they may also attack you or your family. If you have small children, they likely aren’t able to fight off a coyote in the rare case that it attacks. That said, coyote attacks on humans are exceptionally rare. Studies show that there were [roughly 150 attacks](https://urbancoyoteresearch.com/resource/coyote-attacks-humans-us-and-canada) between 1960 and 2002. Still, it’s best to avoid any chance. ### Raised Aggression One of the things that can make coyotes more likely to attack is feeling safe around people. While this sounds backward, it’s a common issue with wild animals. Most wild animals, from bears and possums to wolves and coyotes, have a healthy fear and hesitation of humans. As such, they’ll typically avoid areas with humans. But when a wild animal is provided for, such as food or shelter, they slowly lose this fear. If the animal is a societal one, such as coyotes or wild dogs that live in packs, they may teach their packmates that there’s nothing to fear. The end result is the wild animals feel more comfortable going into places where humans live, such as towns, near homes, and parks. Once there, they’re less likely to fear the humans in the area and may approach them. The greatest cause of this is being fed, especially by hand. Coyotes will quickly associate humans with food and approach them, hoping for a snack or quick meal. People may panic when this happens, acting defensively against the coyote and leading to an attack. If you see coyotes on your property, you can often scare them away with loud noises or actions. However, it’s best not to injure the coyote. Instead, let us handle your coyote removal. We can be there to help you in any emergency in the Atlanta emergency, no matter what the hour. If someone has been hurt by a coyote, we urge you to contact emergency medical help first. ## Handling Coyote Control Coyote control is a critical part of assuring the safety of your family and everyone on your property. Understanding what attracts coyotes is the best way of stopping them from showing interest in your land. Need help with your coyote problem?

that has been in the state of Georgia for longer than 1 year knows how bad allergy / pollen season can be. As a matter of fact, Georgia ranks in the top 5 states for the worst allergy / pollen seasons. The image to the left is a screen shot of the pollen count on the first day of Spring 2012, that’s 9369 particulates of pollen per cubic foot of air; that’s alot of pollen. Pressure Washing is a great way to wash away the pollen, dirt, grime, mold or any other dirtiness that sticks to your home, driveway, patio, deck, fence, etc.[![Pressure Washing | Atlanta GA | Perimeter Wildlife Control | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/AdobeStock_264804059-scaled.webp "Pressure Washing Atlanta GA Porch | Perimeter Wildlife Control")](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/AdobeStock_264804059-scaled.webp) Perimeter Wildlife’s state of the art pressure washer blasts away dirt at a force of 3800-4000 psi.

Homes](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/summer-wildlife-threats-animals-most-likely-to-invade-atlanta-homes/) **Published:** June 15, 2025 **Author:** John **Content:** # Summer Wildlife Threats: Animals Most Likely to Invade Atlanta Homes Summer in Atlanta brings sunshine, long days, and, unfortunately, unwanted wildlife. As temperatures rise, many animals seek shelter, food, and cooler spaces inside residential homes & commercial businesses alike. Understanding which species are most likely to invade can help you prevent a costly infestation. ![Animals Likely to Invade Atlanta Homes | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Raccoon-on-House-with-logo-1024x793.webp "Raccoon on House | Perimeter Wildlife Control")## Common Summer Invaders in Atlanta ### Raccoons Raccoons are highly intelligent and curious. They often enter attics or crawl spaces, especially if they find easy access through roof vents or loose shingles. They’re also known for rummaging through unsecured trash bins at night. ### Squirrels Squirrels can chew through wood, wiring, and insulation. They frequently enter homes through small openings under eaves or rooflines. Their nesting can cause serious damage if not addressed quickly. ### Bats During hot Georgia summers, bats seek cool, dark areas to roost—like your attic. While they help control insect populations, their droppings (guano) can pose serious health risks. ### Snakes [Snakes](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/snake-removal-atlanta-ga/ "Snake Removal & Snake Control") are cold-blooded and often slither into basements or garages looking for cooler temps or prey. Most are non-venomous, but it’s still important to prevent them from entering your home. ### Opossums These nocturnal creatures love to nest under decks or in crawl spaces. They may also sneak into attics and are known carriers of fleas and parasites. ## Key Prevention Tips to Keep Critters Controlled - Seal cracks, holes, and entry points around your home - Keep garbage cans tightly closed and food sources out of reach - Trim tree limbs that touch or hang over your roof - Clear woodpiles and debris away from the foundation - Inspect your attic, vents, and crawl spaces regularly ## Protecting Your Home Taking a proactive approach can save you time, money, and stress. While DIY methods may help, professional intervention is often necessary for complete removal and long-term prevention. At Perimeter Wildlife Control, we specialize in [humane wildlife removal services for Atlanta homeowners](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/guide-to-ga-humane-wildlife-trapping-services/ "The Essential Guide to GA Humane Wildlife Trapping Services"). From inspections and exclusions to safe removal and cleanup, our team helps you stay protected during peak wildlife season. If you suspect animals have already entered your home, don’t wait. The longer wildlife remains indoors, the more damage they can cause. ![Animals Likely to Invade Atlanta Homes | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Snake-Season-Season-FB-post-size-873x1024.webp "Snake Season Season FB post size | Perimeter Wildlife Control")## Ready to Defend Your Home This Summer?

2](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/professional-secrets-diy-rodent-exclusion-2/) **Published:** August 3, 2023 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Professional Secrets For A DIY Rodent Exclusion – Part 2 ### Searching for professional secrets to perform a DIY rodent exclusion? These pro-tips from Perimeter Wildlife can help you get on your way to a rodent free home. If you are a DIYer, you sometimes want to handle projects on your own. How can you go about performing a rodent exclusion on your own without any experience in doing so? Luckily Perimeter Wildlife Control’s professional tips can help you to get a more solid result. Read on and in our newest multi-article series you can find out what are some of the best practices used by professionals all over the world to perform a DIY rodent exclusion. ## Rodent Exclusion Materials In part 2 of this multi-article series we talk about the materials that you should be using during your DIY rodent exclusion. Materials used are a key factor in performing a successful DIY rodent exclusion. If subpar materials are used, the rodent exclusion process may only work temporarily before the critters make their way back into your home or structure. ### Metal Flashing and Fasteners Metal flashing can help make a permanent [repair to many rodent entry points](https://www.cdc.gov/healthy-pets/rodent-control/seal-up.html) around your effected structure. This flashing will be installed over roofline, siding, or eave gaps. The flashing should preferably be made of steel not aluminum. If aluminum is to be used, it is recommended to use a thicker type of aluminum. Rodents can chew through thinner aluminum flashing because it is softer than steel. The fasteners used to secure the metal flashing is also very important. You should not be using screws that are uncoated and not meant to be exposed to the outside weather elements. We frequently see poorly [performed rodent exclusions](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/how-you-can-perform-bat-exclusions-6-steps/) where interior drywall screws are used. The rodent exclusions aforementioned usually have some type of re-entry issue because of fastener failure. These screws are uncoated and not designed to be outside. That means that they are not protected against rust, which in turn can lead to fastener failure. Additionally rusting screws that were used to secure flashing can streak rust stains onto other building materials on your home, making them an eye sore. Any screws used on the exterior of your home should be galvanized or have some other protective coating so they do not rust or deteriorate. ### Hardware Cloth or Mesh Screening Hardware cloth or screening used in the rodent exclusion process should be made of metal not fabric. The 1/4 inch welded wire hardware cloth is the choice of most [wildlife control professionals](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-exclusion-animal-damage-repairs-atlanta-ga/). This is due to the mesh grid being large enough to allow air flow, but small enough to keep out the smallest of rodents. This material can be used to screen just about any vent, excluding dryer vents. Dryer vents can become a fire hazard if not properly screened. Check your local fire codes to find out how to properly replace or screen your dryer vent. ### Expandable Foam, Silicone, Caulk, and Other Sealants When used properly, expandable foam is a great product for excluding rodents from a structure. However, keep in mind that the rodents can indeed chew through the foam. This is where using some type of metal filler like steel wool or hardware cloth comes in to play. Other sealant materials can also be used for your [DIY Rodent Exclusion](https://perimeterwildlife.org/squirrel-removal-rodent-control-atlanta/), depending on the host material. ### Hiring a Professional Rodent Exclusion Service At Perimeter Wildlife Control we specialize in the removal of all [nuisance wildlife](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-animal-trapping-and-removal-atlanta-ga/).

](https://youtube.com/@perimeterwildlifetv) **Categories:** Atlanta Animal Removal Blog --- ### [5 Tips for Hiring a Rodent Removal Service](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/5-tips-for-hiring-a-rodent-removal-service/) **Published:** July 4, 2023 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # 5 Tips for Hiring a Rodent Removal Service ### Are you looking for a rodent removal service in Atlanta? You can read about selecting the most suitable option for your needs. There are over [31,500 pest and rodent](https://www.ibisworld.com/united-states/number-of-businesses/pest-control/1495/) removal services in America. Choosing the right one requires you to do a bit of research. Do you have an unwanted pest lurking around your property? Maybe they’re causing issues with your home or terrorizing your house pets. Perhaps they’re digging up your lawn or going through your garbage. Atlanta is more known for insect infestations because of the warm, humid climate, but that’s not to say that there aren’t rodents. In fact, Atlanta was named one of the [“rattiest” cities in the country](https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/atlanta-rats-pest-control-rattiest-cities). Rats will contaminate food, chew through wires, breed behind your walls, and even [transmit diseases](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wildlife-diseases-dangerous-diseases-transmitted-by-wildlife/) to animals and humans. Rats are one of many other animals that could be causing you issues. Depending on where you live, there could be bats, birds, armadillos, coyotes, possums, raccoons, or skunks. Whether you’ve got a rat infestation or some other rodent is the culprit, it’s important to find a good removal service. Today, we’ll give you 5 tips for finding the best pest control services in Atlanta. Keep reading and you’ll be able to get [professional help and put your pest and rodent](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/) problem behind you. ## 1. Customer Ratings and Reviews Start your search by going to Google and typing in, “rodent removal in Atlanta”, where you’ll be given a list of the top options. To separate the great from the good, it’s always a good idea to check out the customer reviews on Google, Yelp, and any other local listing website. You can glean a lot of information about a pest removal service by reading their reviews. If a company has a lot of positive ratings, you know they’re a safe bet, but reading the reviews will tell you what you need to know. If there are any major red flags, you’ll find out from former customers. For instance, if the [pests come back shortly after the pest control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/?p=7666) service left, that’s a bad sign. If there were customer service issues or problems with leaving detritus behind, former customers aren’t shy about leaving comments. The very best options are going to have overwhelmingly positive reviews. If there are a few negative reviews here and there, you can always make note of them and ask the pest removal service about your concerns later. Choose 3-5 of the best options and investigate them further. ## 2. Your Needs Vs. Their Qualifications Not all pest removal services deal with rodents and not all rodent removal services deal with other pests. Before you get your heart set on a particular company, it’s smart to check out their website and see what type of [services they offer](https://perimeterwildlife.org/critters/). It’s also good to dig into the minutiae of what the service does. Do they promise to get rid of the rodents once and for all by fortifying your home? Are they going to deal with them now and make you pay again when they return? Some [pest services](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/emergency-pest-removal-24-hours/) charge for inspections, then give you a separate quote for removal or extermination. It’s important to get a good sense of what the [services are and how thoroughly your pest](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/emergency-pest-removal-24-hours/) issues are going to be dealt with when you hire them. ## 3. Licenses and Insurance Another important thing to look at is whether or not the [pest control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/pest-control-tips-guide-to-keeping-nuisance-pests-away/) service is licensed to do what they say. Presumably, if they’re a popular service that has a reputation to uphold, they’ve got their licenses in order, but it never hurts to check. There are a variety of different licenses that you need to deal with pest control chemicals in the state of Georgia. You can [review them here](https://agr.georgia.gov/pesticide-applicator-license-categories), but it’s always good to ask about licenses, especially if they’re not displayed on a company’s website. Insurance is another important thing, especially if they’re going to be spraying chemicals on your property. General liability insurance will protect you if you or one of the workers is injured while working at your home. ## 4. Rodent Removal Availability and Cost When you have an issue with some wildlife on your property, you may not have time to wait. You need to ensure that the rodent removal company you hire offers 24/7 service for those emergencies that need immediate attention. At Perimeter Wildlife Control, we’re available [all day, every day](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/faq/) for your pest control needs. We understand that nature doesn’t operate between the hours of 9 am-5 pm, so we don’t either. While you’re looking at availability, it doesn’t hurt to get an idea of how much the services cost. If time is on your side, get quotes from multiple companies and compare them to see what best fits your budget. Cost isn’t everything in pest control, but you don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for bad service. ## 5. What Equipment and Chemicals Do They Use? The [regulations around pest control](https://lifehacker.com/what-is-humane-pest-control-and-how-does-it-work-1847485277) are always changing. What you could do 30 years ago, you can’t do anymore, so you need a company that changes with the times. You always want a knowledgeable [pest control service](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/emergency-pest-removal-24-hours/) who is well-versed in the right and wrong ways to deal with wild animals. Not only do we do home pest inspections at Perimeter Wildlife Control, but we also do [animal removals](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-animal-trapping-and-removal-atlanta-ga/).

If you’ve got dead animals on your property, we can [remove those as well – whatever wildlife services](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/dead-rodent-removal-services-why-should-you-hire-a-professional/) you need, we can handle it all. ## Hire Perimeter Wildlife Control for Your Rodent Removal Needs Now that you know how to find the right rodent removal service, it’s time to put these plans into action and deal with your wildlife problem.

by Perimeter Wildlife Control ### Searching for what you can do to handle a snake in your house? Enjoy this short video from [PerimeterWildlifeTV](https://www.youtube.com/@perimeterwildlifetv "PerimeterWildlifeTV") on professional tips for you to handle a snake in your house. Any situation involving a snake in your home can be potentially dangerous for anyone involved. Perimeter Wildlife Control, LLC. specializes in the eradication of ALL nuisance wildlife including [venomous snake removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/top-6-reasons-snakes-activity-is-on-the-rise-atlanta-ga/), as well as non-venomous snake removal. #### Most snakes in your house can be attributed to 1 of 3 things: ###### Food Sources: Food sources can vary based on what species of snake you’ve encountered, as well as their size. Most commonly snakes eat [rodents](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/7-signs-you-have-a-rodent-problem/), lizards, frogs, and other small creatures. If you are currently or have previously been dealing with a [rodent infestation,](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rodent-infestation-emergency-atlanta-georgia/) this is likely why the snake is present. ###### Shelter: All wildlife requires shelter in some form or another. Snakes are no different. Due to being cold blooded reptiles, snakes need to regulate their body temperatures. In the winter time, snakes tend to go into a dormancy period until the weather warms up. Snakes in your home can find shelter inside walls or unfinished insulated areas like attics or crawlspaces. ###### Conducive Property Conditions: Other conditions may be conducive for you to find a snake in your house. For example a water source or easy access for everything necessary in the snake’s environment or habitat. A pile of firewood in your backyard could attract rodents to nest there, in turn causing a snake to want to also nest near by. It would be like having a fast food drive-thru right outside your home. ![Pro Tips to Handle a Snake in Your Home | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/66d8bfb6f82e1082e4ca7b02_unnamed.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control")Venomous Snake & Copperhead Removal in Atlanta, Georgia by Perimeter Wildlife Control #### Why Choose Perimeter Wildlife for the Emergency Removal of a Snake In Your House?

How to Prevent and Remove Raccoons on Your Property ### Raccoon Removal: How to Prevent and Remove Raccoons on Your Property ###### We take a look at Raccoon removal including how to prevent Raccoons returning to your property. Check out our guide for practical tips you can use today. ![Remove Raccoons from Your Property |Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/raccoon-trapped.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control") Raccoons are typically seen as adorable little animals but they have a downside to them. Having them around your house can cause a lot of damage to your property. Taking care of a home isn’t cheap nowadays and oftentimes, the repairs can take a lot out of your wallet. Not only that but wild raccoons can [carry infectious diseases](http://www.austinpug.org/4-common-infectious-diseases-spread-by-raccoons/). These illnesses can range from roundworms to rabies, hantavirus, and salmonella. Not only will it cost you a lot of money to treat, but it can also be fatal. For all their trouble, it’s still best to trap & remove raccoons in a humane way. Raccoon removal should be done by experts. However, there are ways you can prevent these animals from wreaking more havoc on your property & in your home. This small guide will show you a few tips on how to prevent and remove raccoons from your property. ## Signs that You Need a Raccoon Removal [Raccoons can easily adapt](https://perimeterwildlife.org/critters/raccoon-control-atlanta-ga/) to almost every type of habitat. Human-populated areas like neighborhoods or business districts attract them frequently. Pet food left outside and easily accessible trash cans are what raccoons tend to look for during their foraging. If you want to check around your home or business for raccoons, here are a few signs that they’re present. ### Noises at Night Raccoons are nocturnal animals, meaning they only come out at night. Since most people are asleep during the night, they usually miss any actual raccoons. Sometimes, it may be too dark out to see a raccoon. All you have to do is listen. Rummaging, scratching or garbage cans being pushed around are always good signs of raccoons. These animals also make growling noises. When they move, you can usually hear them skittering or running across the roof. ### Signs of Feeding In the morning, you can usually see indications that raccoons have been on the property. Raccoons can and will knock garbage cans to the ground. They will also tamper with pet food and bird feeders. That creates a mess and can destroy your property. Additionally, raccoons also tend to dig holes in the ground to get to food sources like earthworms & grubs, or to gain access to certain locations. Raccoons have also been known to enter attics or crawlspaces looking for small [rodents (ie: rats,](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlantas-troublsome-critters-rats-mice-squirrels/) squirrels, etc.) to feast on, after all they are technically predators. ### Raccoon Presence You don’t have to be a [professional to identify a raccoon](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/raccoon-removal-services-atlanta-georgia/) problem. Raccoon tracks are shaped like hands, with five toes and claws at the ends. These are usually 2-3 inches long depending on the size of the raccoon. Depending on what the raccoons have eaten, their droppings may differ. However, they are usually 3 inches long and shaped like cylinders. Take care not to come into contact with these as they are the source of exposure to roundworm eggs. Additionally breathing in the particulates of their droppings can cause other health issues such as respiratory infections. ### Scratch Marks Another sign of a raccoon’s presence is finding scratch marks on trees, walls and porches. Raccoons will also use gutter downspouts to climb up on to roofs so they can gain access into attics. With their claws, they are sure to make marks on anything they can climb. ## How to Prevent Raccoons on Your Property There is only so much you can do as a homeowner for raccoon prevention. With these raccoon removal tips, you won’t have to worry about seeing these animals on your property. Of course, this is all done without hurting these critters. ### Seal Entrances Inspect your home for any cracks or gaps in your walls, floors, attics and basements. Raccoons like enclosed spaces to breed their young as it is safe and warm. Additionally, they can use these gaps as ways to enter your home. To prevent them from entering your yard, you can do the same thing with your fences and gates. You can also remove anything that they can use as a bridge to get into your property. Long branches, tall plants and poles that are near your fence can be used to climb into your yard. Although removing these access areas will not necessarily prevent the raccoons from getting over your fence, it may deter them from doing so. If you have a chimney, make sure to seal it properly. Raccoons tend to use dark spaces as nests, so you would need to inspect them first. You can prevent them from creating a nest by installing a mesh spark arrestor, or custom chimney cap. While effective, this method requires maintenance. To prevent ash from clogging up your chimney, it’s best to keep it clean regularly. ![Remove Raccoons from Your Property |Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2013-01-08-153935-scaled-1.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control") ### Secure Food Sources When you take out your trash, you have to make sure that they’re sealed tightly. In addition to that, you can ensure that your trash cans are sturdy enough so that they can’t be knocked over. You can get locks for the lids of your trash cans or simply place heavy objects on top of it. Keep your bins inside a shed or garage until they need to be out. Also, make sure that any biodegradable waste such as meat is sealed tight before you throw it away. You can also use trash bags designed to keep wildlife away. These bags are usually scented with smells that racoons can’t stand. These smells won’t harm you but will deter the raccoons from wanting to access your trash. Make sure to never leave pet food out in the open during the night. If you have bird feeders, either do the same or ensure that the pole holding the bird feeder cannot be climbed on. ### Protect your Garden If you have a garden you can place a net over your plants to protect them from pesky raccoons. If you want something with a little more kick, you can make a weak [electric fence](https://www.ehow.com/how_5841278_build-fence-keep-raccoons-away.html) around your garden. The shock will be enough to scare them away but not enough to hurt them. Just be careful that your pets and children won’t get hurt if they get near the fence. Additionally, you can also treat your soil to remove any bugs, grubs, and worms. Racoons tend to dig up the dirt to get some grubs so by treating your soil, you remove a reason for them to enter your property. ### Use of Scent Repellants Raccoons have very sensitive noses so you can use scent repellants to prevent them from entering your yard. Although this method is in no way permanent, it could provide some relief for a few days. At the store, you can purchase some repellants designed to repel wildlife. These are usually liquid sprays which you can spread around your yard and home. There are also things at home that you can use to repel raccoons. Vinegar, Epsom salt, garlic, cayenne pepper and Irish spring soap are such examples. You can turn vinegar and garlic into sprays. The rest, you can spread around dry. Again, these “home remedies” are in no way shape or form a permanent solution to a raccoon removal situation. If the raccoons truly want to be on your property, they will grow tolerant of the products used and will continue to frequent your property. ### Timed Lights and Sprinklers Placing motion lights and sprinklers in the places you suspect raccoons to be present can sometimes deter them from these areas. You can buy most of these products cheaply at the store. Raccoons are smart and can figure out when you have your sprinklers off. Be prepared to keep them on and expect a raise in your water bills. To prevent this issue from happening, you can buy a motion-activated sprinkler to repel raccoons. ## How Professionals Remove Raccoons on Your Property What if you already have a raccoon infestation? Removing these animals can be tricky. After all, some racoons may have decided to call a portion of your property their home. Even if you remove one raccoon, it might still have its babies living on your property. You may even have an entire family of raccoons taking up residence in your attic. Of course, it is possible for you to remove them yourself, but it’s still best to call professionals for help. They have the most experience and skill in [trapping and removing wildlife pests](https://perimeterwildlife.org/services/wildlife-animal-trapping-and-removal-atlanta-ga/). Attempting to do the job yourself can result in either an injury or a possible infection. When provoked or trapped in a cage, raccoons can get very aggressive. We at Perimeter Wildlife Control have what it takes to [inspect your home](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/home-pest-inspections-atlanta-ga/) for further signs of a raccoon infestation. That way, you know that the raccoons are gone for good. #### Why choose a Professional Raccoon Removal Company like Perimeter Wildlife Control A proper pest / wildlife control company will have the qualifications for safe removal, ensuring that the raccoons are relocated to another place where they can thrive. If you have dead animals on your property, do not try to remove them yourself, Perimeter Wildlife Control can handle that for you too!

Leaving them alone is not an option and you should call a qualified [pest removal](https://perimeterwildlife.org/commercial-pest-removal-atlanta-georgia/) company. There are important steps to take after the [removal of the raccoons](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/common-raccoon-attic-issues-and-solutions/). You need to decontaminate and sanitize areas where these critters were active, as raccoon feces can be very dangerous. By crawling around your home or yard, these raccoons can also bring in any type of harmful substances Additionally, you wouldn’t want to be stuck with the [repairs of their damages](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-exclusion-animal-damage-repairs-atlanta-ga/). Hiring another contractor to do them can be another long process, especially if you’re looking for a reliable repairman. Instead of looking for another contractor, you can ask if your pest removal or wildlife control company have repair services available. This is a more effective method as they know what [damages to look for and will repair](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-exclusion-animal-damage-repairs-atlanta-ga/) them accordingly and can provide you with a warranty to give you additional peace of mind.

Part 1 ### Searching for professional secrets to perform a DIY rodent exclusion? These pro-tips from Perimeter Wildlife can help you get on your way to a rodent free home. ![Pro Secrets For Your Rodent Exclusion| Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/norway-rat-in-pipe.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control") If you are a DIYer, you sometimes want to handle projects on your own. How can you go about performing a rodent exclusion on your own without any experience in doing so? Luckily Perimeter Wildlife Control’s professional tips can help you to get a more solid result. Read on and in our newest multi-article series you can find out what are some of the best practices used by professionals all over the world to perform a DIY rodent exclusion. ### Rodent Inspection – Inside The most important key to a ANY proper rodent exclusion is a good inspection. [Rodent inspections](https://www.cdc.gov/healthy-pets/rodent-control/) should be very thorough and done inside as well as outside the structure. A thorough inspection of the inside of the structure should be conducted by checking all possible areas of where rodents can be active. Inside the structure these areas include attics, basements, crawlspaces, drop ceilings, laundry rooms, and any other unfinished areas that humans do not frequent. During the inside inspection you should be looking for [signs of rodent activity](https://perimeterwildlife.org/7-signs-you-have-a-rodent-problem/). These signs include rodent droppings, chewing or gnawing, damaged insulation, or even stains of the oils and dirt of the rodent’s bodies as they squeeze through areas. Once you have identified the active areas inside it is time to move on to the outside inspection. ### ![Pro Secrets For Your Rodent Exclusion| Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/furnace-droppings-300x202.webp "furnace droppings | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ### Rodent Inspection – Outside During the outside portion of your rodent exclusion inspection you should be looking for any cracks or gaps along foundations or siding. Additionally, construction gaps or “builder’s gaps” along rooflines, gutters, or eaves should also be inspected for possible entry points. Any vents including but not limited to gable vents, exhaust vents, ridge vents, and crawlspace vents should also be checked. Some of these vents may be screened by manufacturers but are likely not screened to be “rodent proof”. Other areas to note during your outside rodent inspection include rotted wood or trim, gaps or voids caused by utilities or other mechanical systems. Areas where different building materials come together is also a very common area for rodents to make entry into your home. For example the area where brick or stone work meets with siding or stucco. Any gaps larger than 1/4 of an inch can be a potential area for rodent entry into your home & should be sealed. If you are in doubt of any specific area being an entry point go ahead and plan on sealing it. When dealing with rodents, it is better to be safe than sorry. ![Pro Secrets For Your Rodent Exclusion| Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/shocked-rat-coming-from-wall-scaled.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control") ### Professional Rodent Inspection and Rodent Exclusion Here at Perimeter Wildlife Control we specialize in the complete [removal of rodents](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/dead-rodent-removal-services-why-should-you-hire-a-professional/) from beginning to end.

GA](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/handling-your-own-squirrel-issues-in-ga/) **Published:** June 25, 2022 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Steps you can take to solve your squirrels issues in Georgia ### Searching for how to handle your own squirrel issues? It’s no secret that Georgia & the Atlanta metro area have an abundance of squirrels. You see them everywhere you go! Even running through parking lots in commercial areas. Grey squirrels can be an extreme nuisance critter for people to handle, especially when they invade your home or business. It is not uncommon in Atlanta to hear about a [squirrel or other rodent](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/squirrel-removal-rodent-control-atlanta/) having gained access into someone’s home. Sometimes these critters are just looking for a warm & dry place to be, sometimes these unwanted guests are making their way into your home by accident. For example, if a squirrel has nest at the top of your chimney and the nest collapses due to stormy weather or wind; this squirrel just landed in your fireplace. Hopefully if this happens, your flue is closed & it’s contained; but what if it isn’t? What if the squirrel is now running around inside you home? How are you going to handle this situation? ![Handling Your Own Squirrel Issues in GA | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/squirrel-on-fence-p-500.webp "| Perimeter Wildlife Control") #### Calling In A Professional Wildlife Removal Service [Eastern Grey Squirrels](https://perimeterwildlife.org/atlanta-weather-24-hour-emergency-wildlife-removal/) can sometimes be difficult to trap & remove on your own. As a homeowner the first thought is usually “I can do this on my own, I don’t need a [professional critter removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/dead-rodent-removal-services-why-should-you-hire-a-professional/) service!”. While this may be true, sometimes a DIY homeowner can only get so far, before they cannot handle the nuisance pest situation anymore. Yes the DIY Atlanta, Georgia homeowner may trap the squirrel or family of squirrels living in their attic, they may even be able to repair some of the damages caused by the grey squirrels breaching their home. What happens when the next family of squirrels decides they want to move in and their entry point is not accessible to the homeowner? It may be time to call in a [professional wildlife removal service](https://perimeterwildlife.org/home/)! Perimeter Wildlife Control specializes in the [removal of all types of critters & rodents](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/squirrel-removal-rodent-control-atlanta/) from your home. We are not a regular [pest control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/pest-control-tips-guide-to-keeping-nuisance-pests-away/) company or exterminator, we do not deal with bugs or termites. Removal of critters & animals from inside structures is what Perimeter Wildlife Control handles on a daily basis. Though just the removal of squirrels and [rodents](https://perimeterwildlife.org/7-signs-you-have-a-rodent-problem/) is not where our service ends, we also perform [wildlife exclusion repairs](https://perimeterwildlife.org/services/wildlife-exclusion-animal-damage-repairs-atlanta-ga/) to “animal proof” your home or structure so that this critter situation does not arise again. We are a 24 hour [emergency critter removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/emergency-pest-removal-in-atlanta/) service & can help you handle just about any wildlife situation you may have.

GA](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/rodent-clearance-letter-atlanta-georgia/) **Published:** February 3, 2022 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Rodent Clearance Letters Atlanta, GA ### Searching for a Wildlife or Rodent Clearance Letter in Atlanta Georgia? ![Rodent Clearance Letter Atlanta, GA | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/rat-in-pallet.webp "rat in pallet | Perimeter Wildlife Control")The housing and real estate market nationwide is booming right now, and the Atlanta Georgia metro area is no different than the rest of the country. The Atlanta metro area, as well as suburban areas, is very desirable and growing at an exponential rate. Homes & properties are being sold for thousands over market value in certain areas, and most of these structures have had rodent issues at some point or another. A rodent clearance letter, is usually required if the structure has had a [rodent infestation](https://perimeterwildlife.org/rodent-infestation-emergency-atlanta-georgia/) in the past. Most [pest control companies](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/4-professional-rodent-removal-secrets-for-atlanta-georgia-homeowners/) or exterminators do not provide these types of services. They can provide you with a “Termite Clearance Letter”, which is required for every home or property purchase in the state of Georgia. However, most standard pest control companies will NOT offer such documentation for [rodents or wildlife](https://perimeterwildlife.org/?page_id=1246). So what do you do now if you require a “Rodent Clearance Letter” or “Wildlife Clearance Letter” to make your sale or purchase go through smoothly? #### So how do I obtain my rodent clearance letter or wildlife clearance letter? Whether you are a buyer or a seller of real estate in Georgia, Perimeter Wildlife Control can provide you with rodent clearance letters or wildlife clearance letters to make your real estate transactions go smoothly in the Atlanta Metro area. Additionally, Perimeter Wildlife Control can also eliminate a current critter situation that could be holding you up from selling your home. This includes [squirrels](https://perimeterwildlife.org/squirrel-removal-rodent-control-atlanta/) in the chimney, rodents in the basement, [bats](https://perimeterwildlife.org/how-you-can-perform-bat-exclusions-6-steps/) in the belfry, [raccoons](https://perimeterwildlife.org/critters/raccoon-control-atlanta-ga/) in the attic, or just about any other critter situation. Legally, no [pest control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/?p=7666) company can just give you a “rodent clearance letter”. Particularly if said pest removal company does not actually know if you have a current critter issue. Usually a wildlife inspection is required, as well as a [wildlife trapping & monitoring program](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/services/wildlife-animal-trapping-and-removal-atlanta-ga/) to determine if there is current animal activity inside the home. Every situation is different, and every real estate sale is different. Perimeter Wildlife can tailor services to meet whatever critter control or rodent clearance letter issues you may have. #### ![Rodent Clearance Letter Atlanta, GA | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/AdobeStock_551130009-1024x606.webp "AdobeStock_551130009 | Perimeter Wildlife Control") #### How much does a Rodent Clearance Letter cost in the Metro Atlanta Georgia area? The pricing on Perimeter Wildlife Control’s rodent clearance letter services varies, depending on what type of pest removal service that is required. There is no set fee for handling any [wildlife control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wildlife-pest-removal-duluth-ga/) situation. Initially an interior and exterior wildlife inspection needs to be conducted. Traps need to be set and monitored to determine whether or not you currently have [wildlife or rodent activity](https://perimeterwildlife.org/7-signs-you-have-a-rodent-problem/). If current activity is found, [wildlife exclusion repairs](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-exclusion-atlanta-ga/) are usually needed to remedy the situation. Sometimes a [clean-up & decontamination](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/pest-animal-decontamination-atlanta-ga/) is needed as well. Most of the needed services to handle the wildlife or rodent clearance letter situation are usually dictated by the potential property buyer. Some real estate buyers have experienced [critter or rodent](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlantas-troublsome-critters-rats-mice-squirrels/) problems in the past, and they do not want to deal with a critter issue ever again. Buyers will sometimes request trapping, a [full wildlife exclusion](https://perimeterwildlife.org/services/wildlife-exclusion-animal-damage-repairs-atlanta-ga/), as well as, a complete decontamination and sanitizing service. We have even seen buyers request a complete removal of attic insulation & a fresh attic insulation blow-in on very particular situations. Although every critter problem is different, Perimeter Wildlife Control can adapt its [services to fit your rodent removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/professional-secrets-for-diy-rodent-exclusion-1/) & wildlife exclusion needs. Call us today 24/7 at 770-369-7713 to schedule your initial wildlife inspection and begin the process to receive your rodent clearance letter in Atlanta Georgia. ![author avatar](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/cropped-Raccoon-favicon-red-cropped-650.webp) Andy Founder | CEO Andy B. is the Founder & CEO at Perimeter Wildlife Control since 2011.

Inside](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/bat-season-in-atlanta-ga-why-bats-are-looking-for-a-way-inside/) **Published:** May 12, 2025 **Author:** John **Content:** As temperatures rise in Atlanta every year, bat activity picks up — and so do bat-related calls to wildlife control companies like [Perimeter Wildlife](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/). Bat season typically begins in **April** and peaks through **late summer**, with colonies seeking shelter in warm, dark, and quiet spaces. Unfortunately, your attic, warehouse, or commercial building often fits that description perfectly. In this post, we’ll cover why bats target homes and businesses, the risks they bring, and how Perimeter Wildlife offers humane, 24/7 solutions to protect your property. ## **Why Bats Enter Homes and Buildings Bats are significant to Georgia’s ecosystem, helping control insect populations, especially mosquitoes. But when natural roosting sites like caves and hollow trees become scarce, bats seek alternatives. Human structures provide the shelter and stable temperatures that bats need to raise their young during the warmer months. Some common reasons bats enter your home or commercial building include: - **Attics and soffits offer warmth and protection**. - **Small entry points** (gaps as small as 3/8 of an inch) around vents, chimneys, or siding provide easy access. - **Abundant insect activity** around your property draws bats close. - **Old or damaged roofing materials** make perfect roosting areas. - **Night lighting** attracts bugs, which then attract bats hunting them. ## **Signs You Might Have Bats Inside Spotting a bat flying inside your building isn’t the only sign. More subtle clues that you may have an early bat intrusion include: - **Chirping or squeaking sounds** coming from walls or attic spaces - **Dark, greasy stains** near openings where bats squeeze in and out - **Droppings (guano)** near windowsills, doorways, or attic floors - **Unusual odors**, particularly a strong ammonia smell from guano buildup Early detection is critical. A small colony can grow rapidly during summer, leading to larger health risks and more expensive damage. ## **Risks of a Bat Infestation While bats themselves are not aggressive, they pose several serious risks: - **Health Hazards**: Bat guano can lead to **histoplasmosis**, a potentially serious respiratory illness. - **Rabies Exposure**: Though rare, [bats are a primary rabies carrier](https://www.cdc.gov/rabies/prevention/bats.html?CDC_AAref_Val=https://www.cdc.gov/rabies/exposure/animals/bats.html) in Georgia. **Structural Damage**: Guano buildup corrodes wood and insulation, causing costly repairs over time. Because bats are a **protected species** in Georgia, improper handling (like trapping or killing) can lead to legal trouble and harm the local environment. This is why professional, humane removal is essential. ## **How Perimeter Wildlife Can Help At Perimeter Wildlife, we specialize in **24/7 humane bat removal and exclusion** in the Greater Atlanta area. Our trained experts inspect your home or business, identify entry points, and create a customized plan for removal. We use safe, legal exclusion devices that allow bats to leave — but not reenter. Our services include: - Thorough property inspection - Safe, humane bat exclusion - Sealing of all potential entry points - Cleaning and sanitizing areas contaminated by guano Don’t let bat season catch you off guard. Whether you suspect one bat or an entire colony, **acting early** is the key to protecting your property and keeping your family, employees, or customers safe. **Contact Perimeter Wildlife today for a fast, humane bat inspection and removal service.** ![author avatar](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/cropped-Raccoon-favicon-red-cropped-650.webp) John [See Full Bio](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/contact) [ ](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/contact) **Categories:** Atlanta Animal Removal Blog **Tags:** Atlanta bat removal, attic wildlife removal, bat exclusion services, bat season Atlanta, bats in attic Atlanta, emergency bat removal, humane bat removal Atlanta, pest control Atlanta, wildlife control Atlanta --- ### [Protect Your Property with Expert Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/protect-your-property-with-expert-perimeter-wildlife-control/) **Published:** January 28, 2025 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Protect Your Property with Expert Perimeter Wildlife Control Wildlife intrusions can cause significant damage to both residential and commercial properties.

Property](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/dealing-with-opossums-on-your-ga-property/) **Published:** January 21, 2025 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Dealing with Opossums on Your GA Property ### Identification and Risks Opossums are a unique part of the North American wildlife landscape. Known for their distinctive appearance and behaviors, these nocturnal creatures often wander into residential areas in search of food and shelter. While they are generally harmless and can even provide some benefits, such as [pest control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/commercial-pest-removal-atlanta-georgia/). Opossums can also pose [risks to your property and health](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/5-health-risks-associated-with-rodent-infestation-in-atlanta/) if they decide to make your home their own. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore everything you need to know about dealing with opossums on your property, from identifying their presence to understanding the risks they pose and how to safely remove them. ![Dealing with Opossums on Your GA Property|Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/slider_002-300x94.webp "Emergency Opossum Removal Atlanta | Perimeter Wildlife Control")24 Hour Emergency Wildlife Removal in Atlanta, GA ## What Are Opossums? Opossums, often simply called possums in North America, are the only marsupials native to the continent. The most common species in the United States is the Virginia opossum (*Didelphis virginiana*). These creatures are typically about the size of a house cat, with grayish fur, a white face, sharp teeth. They also have a prehensile tail that they use for balance and climbing. Opossums are nocturnal, which means they are most active at night. They are omnivorous scavengers and have a diet that includes insects, small [rodents](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-rodent-infestation-removal/), fruits, vegetables, and garbage. ### Signs of Opossums on Your Property Identifying the presence of opossums on your property early can help you manage them more effectively. Here are some common signs that an opossum might be around: 1. **Tracks and Droppings**: Opossum tracks are unique; their front paw prints look somewhat like a handprint, while their rear prints show an opposable thumb. Droppings are about 2-3 inches long with tapered ends and may be found in small piles. 2. **Noises**: At night, you may hear rustling or scratching sounds in your attic, under your porch, or around garbage bins, as opossums forage for food or seek shelter. 3. **Damage to Property**: Opossums may cause minor damage by knocking over trash cans, rummaging through garbage, and chewing on outdoor furniture or other items. 4. **Visible Sightings**: Spotting an opossum wandering through your yard, particularly at dusk or dawn, is a clear indication of their presence. 5. **Nests and Hiding Spots**: [Opossums](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/opossum-control-atlanta-ga/) are opportunistic and will use existing structures, such as sheds, garages, or crawl spaces, as nesting sites. You might find nests made of leaves, grass, and other debris in these areas. ### Potential Risks of Opossums on Your Property While opossums are not typically aggressive, their presence can pose several risks to your property and health: 1. **Property Damage**: Opossums can cause damage by tearing up insulation, chewing on electrical wires, and gnawing on wood or other materials. This can lead to costly repairs, particularly if they nest in your attic or crawl space. 2. **Contamination and Disease**: Opossums can carry parasites like fleas, ticks, and mites, which can spread to pets and humans. They are also known carriers of diseases such as leptospirosis, salmonella, and tuberculosis. Additionally, their droppings can harbor bacteria and viruses that pose health risks. 3. **Pet Safety**: Although opossums are generally not aggressive, they may become defensive if cornered by a pet. They have sharp teeth and claws that can cause injury to curious dogs or cats. 4. **Attracting Other Pests**: Opossums are scavengers and may attract other pests like [raccoons](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/raccoon-removal-services-atlanta-georgia/), rats, or insects to your property, further complicating pest control efforts. 5. **Unpleasant Odors**: If an opossum dies in a hard-to-reach area of your home, such as inside walls or under a porch; it can create a strong, unpleasant odor that is difficult to eliminate. ### How to Prevent Opossums from Entering Your Property The best way to avoid issues with opossums is to prevent them from accessing your property in the first place. Here are some effective strategies: 1. **Secure Garbage Bins**: Use sturdy, sealed trash bins to prevent opossums from accessing your garbage. If necessary, use bungee cords or locks to keep lids securely fastened. 2. **Remove Food Sources**: Do not leave pet food or birdseed outside overnight, as these can attract opossums. Also, consider picking up fallen fruits or vegetables from gardens to reduce food availability. 3. **Seal Entry Points**: Inspect your home for potential entry points, such as gaps in your foundation, broken vents, or loose shingles. Seal these openings with materials like steel mesh, caulk, or hardware cloth to prevent opossums from entering. 4. **Maintain Your Yard**: Keep your yard clean and well-maintained by trimming shrubs and bushes, removing piles of leaves or wood, and keeping grass mowed. This reduces potential hiding spots and makes your property less inviting. 5. **Install Fencing**: A properly installed fence can be an effective barrier to keep opossums out. Ensure the fence is at least 4 feet high and buried a few inches underground to prevent digging. 6. **Use Motion-Activated Devices**: Motion-activated lights, sprinklers, or sound devices can deter opossums from entering your yard by startling them. ## Safe and Humane Removal of Opossums If you find an opossum on your property and need to remove it, it’s essential to do so safely and humanely. Here are some steps to consider: 1. **Do Not Approach or Corner the Opossum**: Opossums are generally non-aggressive but can become defensive if they feel threatened. Avoid approaching them directly or cornering them. 2. **Use Humane Traps**: Live traps are an effective and [humane way to capture an opossum](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/guide-to-ga-humane-wildlife-trapping-services/). Place the trap near the opossum’s suspected entry point or in areas where you’ve seen it frequently. Use bait such as fruits, vegetables, or pet food. Check the trap frequently to ensure the opossum is not left in distress for too long. 3. **Contact Wildlife Professionals**: If you’re uncomfortable handling the situation yourself, or if local regulations prohibit trapping wildlife. You should contact a [professional wildlife removal service](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/). They have the experience and equipment to handle opossums safely and legally. 4. **Relocate Carefully**: If you trap an opossum, check local laws regarding relocation, as it may be illegal to release wildlife without permission. A wildlife professional can ensure that the opossum is relocated safely to a suitable habitat. 5. **Decontaminate Affected Areas**: After removing the opossum, thoroughly clean and disinfect any areas they have inhabited or traveled. This is to prevent the spread of diseases or parasites, as well as attract other critters. ## When to Call a Professional – Perimeter Wildlife Control There are certain situations where calling a professional [wildlife control service](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/guide-to-ga-humane-wildlife-trapping-services/) is the best option: 1. **Multiple Opossums or Recurring Issues**: If you suspect there is more than one opossum or have recurring issues with opossums returning. A wildlife professional can assess your property for potential attractants and entry points. 2. **Nesting Inside Your Home**: If an opossum has nested inside your home, particularly in hard-to-reach areas. Areas like attics or crawl spaces, professionals can safely remove the animals and [clean up any contamination](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/pest-animal-decontamination-atlanta-ga/) left behind. 3. **Health Concerns**: If you are concerned about the potential health risks associated with opossums. A professional service can provide safe removal and decontamination, minimizing your risk of exposure to diseases and parasites. 4. **Uncertainty About the Animal**: If you’re unsure whether the animal on your property is an opossum or another species. Perimeter Wildlife Control professionals can accurately identify and handle the situation. #### Conclusion Opossums are a unique part of the ecosystem and can offer some benefits, like pest control.

Services](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/guide-to-ga-humane-wildlife-trapping-services/) **Published:** January 20, 2025 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # The Essential Guide to Georgia Humane Wildlife Trapping Services Wildlife encounters are a natural part of living close to nature, but when animals such as raccoons, [squirrels](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/handling-your-own-squirrel-issues-in-ga/), skunks, or even opossums invade your property. They can cause damage, spread disease, and create safety concerns. In these situations, humane wildlife trapping services are the most effective solution to manage wildlife conflicts responsibly and ethically. This blog post will explore what humane wildlife trapping services entail. Why they are important, how the process works, and what to expect when you [hire professionals](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/dead-rodent-removal-services-why-should-you-hire-a-professional/). ### ![Georgia Humane Wildlife Trapping Services|Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Trapped-Armadillo-in-winged-cage-p-500-300x198.jpg "Trapped-Armadillo-in-winged-cage-p-500 | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ### What Are Humane Wildlife Trapping Services? Humane wildlife trapping services are specialized pest control solutions focused on safely and ethically capturing wild animals that have invaded human habitats. Unlike lethal methods, humane [trapping prioritizes the well-being of the animal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-animal-trapping-and-removal-atlanta-ga/) while ensuring the safety and comfort of homeowners. These services are designed to resolve [wildlife conflicts without causing harm to the animals,](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-animal-trapping-and-removal-atlanta-ga/) allowing them to be safely relocated back into their natural habitats. ### Why Are Humane Wildlife Trapping Services Important? Humane wildlife trapping services offer several key benefits: 1. **Ethical Treatment of Animals**: Humane trapping avoids causing unnecessary suffering to wildlife. The focus is on capturing and relocating animals without injury, respecting their role in the ecosystem. 2. **Safety for Humans and Pets**: Wildlife can pose significant risks to humans and pets, including bites, scratches, and disease transmission. Professional wildlife trappers are trained to handle animals safely, minimizing the risk of injury. 3. **Preventing Property Damage**: Wildlife can cause extensive damage to property, including chewing through wires, digging holes, and contaminating spaces with droppings. Prompt trapping and removal prevent further damage and reduce repair costs. 4. **Compliance with Local Laws**: Many areas have specific regulations regarding the handling of wildlife. Humane wildlife trapping services ensure compliance with local laws and regulations. While also avoiding potential fines or legal issues for homeowners. 5. **Promoting Ecosystem Balance**: Relocating animals back into the wild maintains local biodiversity and supports a balanced ecosystem. Lethal methods can disrupt local wildlife populations and lead to unintended ecological consequences. ### Common Scenarios Requiring Humane Wildlife Trapping Services There are several situations where humane wildlife trapping services may be necessary: 1. **Raccoons in the Attic**: [Raccoons](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/raccoon-removal-services-atlanta-georgia/) are notorious for finding their way into attics. There they can cause extensive damage and create nesting sites. Humane trapping is essential to safely remove them and prevent future access. 2. **Squirrels in the Walls**: Squirrels often enter homes through small gaps or openings, leading to scratching noises, damaged insulation, and chewed electrical wires. Humane traps are used to capture and relocate them to a suitable environment. 3. **Skunks Under the Deck**: Skunks are attracted to sheltered areas like decks or sheds for denning. Humane trapping helps avoid the risk of skunk spray and removes the animal without harm. 4. **Opossums in the Crawl Space**: Opossums may take up residence in crawl spaces or garages, where they can cause damage and spread disease. Trapping them humanely ensures they are relocated without distress. 5. **Birds in Chimneys**: Birds can become trapped in chimneys or attics, causing noise and mess. Humane removal prevents harm to the birds and safely releases them back into the wild. ## How Does the Humane Trapping Process Work? The humane wildlife trapping process typically involves several key steps: 1. **Inspection and Assessment**: A professional wildlife trapper from [Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/) will conduct a thorough inspection of your property. We will identify the species of animal involved, the extent of the infestation, and potential entry points. This assessment helps in determining the best trapping strategy and preventing future wildlife issues. 2. **Setting Up Traps**: Once the assessment is complete, the trapper will set up humane traps in strategic locations. These [traps are designed to capture the animal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-animal-trapping-and-removal-atlanta-ga/) without causing harm. They often include bait to attract the target species and are monitored regularly to ensure quick removal once the animal is caught. 3. **Capture and Relocation**: When the animal is captured, the trapper will carefully relocate it to a suitable habitat away from human dwellings. This process involves releasing the animal in a safe location where it can thrive without posing risks to people or property. 4. **Seal Entry Points and Provide Exclusion Services**: After the animal(s) are removed, the wildlife tech should seal entry points. Also provide recommendations for [wildlife exclusion services](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-exclusion-animal-damage-repairs-atlanta-ga/) to prevent future access. This may include repairing holes, installing chimney caps, or securing vents. 5. **Cleanup and Sanitation**: Wildlife infestations can leave behind droppings, nesting materials, and other contaminants. Professional trappers often provide cleanup and sanitation services to restore the area to a safe and clean condition. While also reducing health risks and odors. ### ![Georgia Humane Wildlife Trapping Services|Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/20170519_163116-300x169.jpg "20170519_163116 | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ### What to Expect When Hiring Humane Wildlife Trapping Services When you hire a professional humane wildlife trapping service like Perimeter Wildlife Control. You can expect a thorough and professional approach to resolving your wildlife issue. Here’s what you can typically expect: 1. **Initial Consultation**: A reputable wildlife trapping service will start with an initial consultation to discuss your concerns, inspect the property, and provide a detailed assessment of the situation. 2. **Transparent Pricing**: The service should provide a clear and upfront estimate of the costs involved. Also including any additional services such as exclusion work or cleanup. 3. **Licensed and Insured Professionals**: Ensure that the company is licensed and insured to handle wildlife in your area. This guarantees that they adhere to local regulations and have the expertise to handle wildlife safely. 4. **Humane Practices**: Confirm that the service uses humane trapping methods and adheres to ethical standards for wildlife removal. 5. **Follow-Up and Prevention**: A good wildlife trapping service will offer follow-up visits to ensure that the problem has been fully resolved. We provide advice or services to prevent future wildlife issues as well. #### Conclusion Humane wildlife trapping services are an essential resource for managing wildlife conflicts in a safe, ethical, and effective manner.

On-site inspections are charged unless bundled with service. **Will rats return after removal?** Not if properly sealed.

Perimeter Wildlife Control offers bat removal and bat exclusion services in Atlanta, Georgia. ***Bats…Vampires?? We don’t think so!!*** **BATS:** Bats usually cause a problem when they establish large maternity colonies inside buildings & structures. There, they leave behind their [extremely hazardous droppings (guano)](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/pest-animal-decontamination-atlanta-ga/), often in great bulk. Bats are special animals because – they are of course the only flying mammals, and they give birth to only one young once per year year. They can live for a long time in the wild, up to 18 years & eat 3 and one-half times their body weight in insects nightly. Though they are usually docile animal, they can carry rabies. The state of Georgia employs very strict regulations, in the handling & removal of these unique critters. During their colonizing season (May 1st – August 15th), special permits must be obtained to remove bats & their flight-less young; furthermore without the permit being approved by the Georgia DNR, any type of exclusion is strictly prohibited. ALL SPECIES OF [BATS ARE PROTECTED](https://www.batcon.org/about-bats/bats-in-homes-buildings/)!!! Check with Perimeter Wildlife’s experts to properly remove these nuisance critters from your home or structure. [**CALL NOW! 24/7 SERVICE**](tel:17706510803)### Interesting Bat Facts Before you get too upset about the bats in your home or structure, open your mind to the following facts: - Bats are the only flying mammals in the world, and bats are very beneficial in that they can eat over 500 flying insects per hour all night long. Over 40 species of bats live in North America – and guess what? There’s not a vampire among them!! - Histoplasmosis is an airborne fungus disease that can grow in pigeon and bat droppings (guano). Human inhalation is usually the result of stirring up dust that contains contaminated fungus spores. [Guano](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/how-you-can-perform-bat-exclusions-6-steps/) should only be cleaned up by trained personnel with the proper safety equipment. - Bats are also hosts to ectoparasites such as bat bugs (a close relative of the bed bug). Ectoparasites associated with bats are usually host & colony specific, and can bite pets or humans that have entered the roosting site. Ectoparasites can be controlled by an insecticide treatment to the roost after the bats are evicted. - Humans object to the bat’s noise (squeaking, scratching, crawling in attics and walls), stains, and odors caused by urine and droppings. Most bat complaints occur in July and August when bats enter houses via overhangs, eaves, unscreened vents, end construction gaps. - Bats can squeeze thru holes 3/8″ wide (a dime sized hole). They occasionally enter the house through chimneys, open windows, and many actually get lost and enter the building interior after migrating through the structure to seek a preferred temperature zone. - Bats are nocturnal (active at night) and have a 6 -12″ wingspan. They are insectivores (eat insects), and some species eat up to 3 & 1/2 their body weight each night in flying insects. #### More Important Bat Information - Bats usually breed in the late winter-early spring. Pregnant females congregate in maternity colonies until birth occurs between April and May. There are usually 2-4 young that begin flying at 3 – 5 weeks of age. - Larger colonies are usually found in caves and mines, while bats that live in trees are solitary. Solitary bats are not normally found in structures, although a few species of bats will enter buildings to roost. - Little brown bats commonly invade structures in the spring and summer, while big brown bats use buildings year-round for raising young and hibernation. - [Bat Exclusion](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/how-you-can-perform-bat-exclusions-6-steps/) is the number one priority in bat management. Thorough exclusion of all holes larger than 1/4″is needed at all potential openings, especially in the top half of the building. Though they do not chew on materials to make an entry like other rodents, control should be left up to certified professionals. Contact a certified technician at Perimeter Wildlife Control for further information. - Poisoning bats is illegal and usually leads to an increased number of contacts with people and pets in the vicinity. Repellents are generally ineffective against bats and may even drive bats further into the structure. Penalties can include imprisonment & up to a $10,000 fine. --- ### [Residential Pest & Rodent Control | Atlanta, GA](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/residential-pest-rodent-control-atlanta-ga/) **Published:** March 10, 2012 **Author:** Andy **Content:** # Georgia Residential Pest and Rodent Control ### Searching for **Residential Pest or Rodent Control Atlanta GA**?

Perimeter Wildlife Control offers Leafproof Gutter Protection services in Atlanta, Georgia. #### Leafproof & How It Works ![Residential Pest & Rat Control Atlanta GA|Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/AdobeStock_1279327289-300x164.webp "AdobeStock_1279327289 | Perimeter Wildlife Control") Imagine slowly tilting a glass of water, what happens to the water? Gravity & the laws of physics play a part in how water travels on inclined materials. The water runs down the edge of the glass, & every drop travels along the glass until it hits the bottom & drops off. Leafproof was designed with this concept in mind. The roof of the structure and the Leafproof panel itself become the glass, the water travels along the surfaces & upon contact with the patented S-Bend technology only available with this system, the water is drastically slowed down, & is then all directed into the gutter by Leafproof. In regions of the United States, where rainfall can be torrential, water overflow is a common problem of most gutter systems. Enter Leafproof XP for Xtreme Protection!! Leafproof XP was designed to handle ANY downpour no matter how heavy. The preforations along the top of the panel combined with the patented S-Bend technology allow the fast moving heavy volumes of water to continue to be directed in to the gutter, without causing a sheet of water to flow over the gutter & cause possible erosion problems. The custom inside mitre corners in conjunction with on-site manufactured diverters & endcaps, make Leafproof XP capable of handling the hardest rain storm travelling down the steepest valley of a roof with no overflow. #### How Is Leafproof a Wildlife Exclusion Product? Not only does Leafproof protect your gutters & other crucial elements of the construction of your home, from water & debris, but it also protects your home from the [entry of nuisance wildlife](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/should-my-atlanta-ga-home-be-critter-proofed/) into attic, storage, & wall void areas. The protection Leafproof provides is due to the installation process by Perimeter Wildlife’s certified installers. The Leafproof panels interlock with one another; & the installation of custom fabricated end-caps completely seals off the inside of your gutter. This in turn, prevents animals from accessing the ever common roofline or builders gap that is located where the fascia boards meet the roof decking on most homes. Leafproof also prevents the roosting or nesting of animals in your gutters. Leafproof becomes an A++ investment for protection of your home & property from critters, leaves, debris, & water run-off.

Perimeter Wildlife Control provides fast, effective solutions to keep your home or business safe. ##### We specialize in the removal and control of nuisance wildlife, including **squirrels, rats, raccoons, opossums, bats, snakes, birds**, and more. Our expert team offers customized solutions to handle infestations and prevent future problems — all with our **24/7 commitment** to customer care. [**CALL NOW! 24/7 SERVICE**](tel:17706510803) ### ![Atlanta 24/7 Animal Removal Services | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/yelling-squirrel-1024x724.webp "yelling squirrel | Perimeter Wildlife Control") ### [Humane Wildlife Removal with Lasting Solutions](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/guide-to-ga-humane-wildlife-trapping-services/) While most people appreciate nature, no one wants the damage, noise, or [health risks that wildlife can bring](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/5-health-risks-associated-with-rodent-infestation-in-atlanta/). **At Perimeter Wildlife Control**, our goal is to quickly and humanely remove the animals causing problems — not eliminate every critter in the neighborhood. We focus on **targeted removal** to resolve the issue efficiently. For example, if a raccoon is living in your chimney, we’ll go directly to the entry point instead of setting random traps that might catch non-target animals. Our experienced team knows how to identify and capture the right animals safely. Depending on the situation, captured wildlife will either be released in an approved area or, if required by Georgia Department of Natural Resources regulations, humanely euthanized — particularly for species that may carry rabies, such as raccoons or skunks. #### Flexible Trapping & Removal Programs Our **[24/7 Animal Trapping & Removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/emergency-pest-removal-in-atlanta/) programs** offer flexible options to fit your needs and budget. While a **Full Exclusion Program** — which seals entry points to prevent future issues — is the best long-term solution, we understand that immediate animal removal may be the priority. Here’s how our process works: - **Full Inspection:** **Our Licensed & Certified Wildlife Specialists** will inspect your home’s interior — including attics, basements, crawl spaces, and utility areas — to identify the problem, assess damages, and document findings with digital photos. - **Exterior Inspection:** We’ll examine your home’s exterior to locate entry points and identify conditions that may be attracting wildlife. - **Custom Plan & Estimate:** Based on our findings, we’ll provide a detailed estimate outlining all available solutions — from immediate removal to long-term prevention. - **Targeted Trapping:** We’ll set traps strategically to capture the offending animals, ensuring a focused and effective solution. While our trapping methods are highly successful, trapping alone isn’t a permanent fix. For lasting protection, we recommend a **Full Exclusion Program** to keep wildlife from returning. **When nature disrupts your home, trust Perimeter Wildlife Control to restore peace — day or night!** ### [![Atlanta 24/7 Animal Removal Services | Perimeter Wildlife | Perimeter Wildlife Control](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Comp-Rodent-Control-resized-1024x894.webp "Comp Rodent Control-resized | Perimeter Wildlife Control")](http://perimeterwildlife.com/critters) ### [Wildlife Exclusion – Long-Term Protection for Your Home](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/bat-removal-atlanta-ga/) Removing [nuisance animals](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-animal-trapping-and-removal-atlanta-ga/) is only half the battle — if entry points aren’t sealed, new animals will move in.

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. [**CALL NOW! 24/7 SERVICE**](tel:17706510803) ### [Coyotes](https://perimeterwildlife.com/critters/coyote-trapping-removal-atlanta-ga/) 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](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/rat-control-atlanta-ga/) 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](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/squirrel-control-atlanta-ga/) Eastern Gray Squirrels frequently invade attics, especially during nesting seasons. They can gnaw on wires, chew through wood, and damage insulation, posing safety risks.

They can tear through vents, shingles, and insulation, causing extensive damage. ### [Snakes](https://perimeterwildlife.com/critters/snake-removal-atlanta-ga/) 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](https://perimeterwildlife.com/critters/bat-removal-atlanta-ga/) 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.

Their nesting materials can also clog vents and gutters. ### [Moles](https://perimeterwildlife.com/critters/mole-control-atlanta-ga/) Moles tunnel underground, creating unsightly ridges and mounds that damage lawns and gardens. Their digging can also weaken soil stability. ### [Armadillos](https://perimeterwildlife.com/critters/armadillo-trapping-removal-atlanta-ga/) Known for digging large burrows, armadillos can damage foundations, landscaping, and irrigation systems, creating costly repairs.

They are marsupials, and the young grow in a pouch in spring. Commonly found in the attics of homes, and they are also a common dead animal extraction target. They are interesting: they have the most teeth of any mammal (50), a prehensile tail, opposable thumbs, the male has a bifurcated penis, they can eat almost anything, and they have incredible immune systems, all of which make them great survivors, despite their tiny brain.

A colony of [bats in the attic](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/how-you-can-perform-bat-exclusions-6-steps/), for example, can really stink up the house, as can an opossum, which is a smelly animal that leaves a lot of waste in an attic.

Perimeter Wildlife Control offers snake removal and snake control services in Atlanta, Georgia. **SNAKES:** North America is home to many snake species, about 130. Most are harmless. There are 20 [venomous species of snake, most of them rattlesnakes](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/?p=1577). The exceptions are the aquatic snakes, such as the Copperhead and the Cottonmouth, and the Coral Snakes (the red-yellow-black ones). If you are unsure of the specie of snake, just leave it alone! In fact, leave all snakes alone. They get a bad rap. If one gets in your house or pool or something, a [wildlife specialist can come and remove](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/cold-weather-pest-removal-atlanta-ga-keeping-wildlife-outside/) it, but otherwise, it’s probably not bad to have around, so leave it be. [**CALL NOW! 24/7 SERVICE**](tel:17706510803)### Snakes of Georgia: Simply hearing the word snake sends shivers up most folk’s spine. However, snakes are an important component of our ecosystem in Georgia because of their major role as both a predator and prey. [Snakes](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/snake-trapping-service-atlanta-ga/) are environmentally beneficial because they eat rats, mice, and other animals deemed to be pests. Some snakes have been used as bio-indicators to assess pollutants in terrestrial or aquatic ecosystems. Unfortunately, many species of snakes are declining as a result of human activities. Thankfully, of the 41 snake species that occur in Georgia, only one is considered legally threatened, the eastern indigo snake. ### Non-Venomous Snakes in Georgia - Eastern Green Water Snake - Brown Water Snake - Red or Yellow-Bellied Water Snake - Banded Water Snake - Northern Water Snake - Banded Water Snake - Striped Crayfish Snake - Eastern Hognose Snake - Southern Hognose Snake - Ringneck Snake - Eastern Worm Snake - Pine Woods Snake - Mud Snake - Rainbow Snake - Racer - Coachwhip - Rough Green Snake - Corn Snake - Rat Snake - Pine Snake - Eastern/Black Kingsnake - Mole Kingsnake - Scarlet Kingsnake/Milk Snake - Glossy Crayfish Snake - Black Swamp Snake - Brown Snake - Red-Bellied Snake - Eastern Ribbon Snake - Common Garter Snake - Smooth Earth Snake - Rough Earth Snake ### Venomous Snakes in Georgia - Copperhead - Pigmy Rattlesnake - Canebrake or Timber Rattlesnake - Cottonmouth - Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake - Eastern Coral Snake ### Biology of Snakes Snakes are reptiles characterized by elongated bodies and a lack of limbs. Snakes are closely related to lizards, but do not have external ears or eyelids. The skin of snakes is dry and scaly, not slimy like some people believe. Snakes have a forked tongue used to “sample” microscopic particles from the air. The particles are transferred to the Jacobson’s organ to taste the air to figure out its surroundings. Snakes are “cold-blooded” meaning they rely on their surroundings for body heat. As a result, snakes cannot tolerate extreme temperatures. Therefore, when it is cold or extremely hot outside, snakes are relatively inactive. It is common for a snake to raise its body temperature by “sunning” in the middle of a sidewalk or driveway, or cool its body temperature by laying under landscape materials or in bushes & shrubs. ### Living With Snakes Snakes can be found in most backyards, parks, and woodlands throughout Georgia. Many species are secretive, spending most of their time underground or under cover. Active gardeners may occasionally see small ringneck, worm, red-bellied, brown, earth, and crowned snakes. None of these species are much bigger than a large earthworm and do not bite. Several larger snake species also frequent backyards, especially corn and rat snakes, as well as racers. These larger snakes will eat mice, rats, and occasionally birds and their eggs. Snakes often take refuge in piles of brush or firewood. Water snakes, especially banded water snakes, are occasionally found in areas bordering streams, swamps, or farm ponds. Occasionally, [snakes searching for rodents](https://perimeterwildlife.com/8-expert-tips-for-dealing-with-a-snake-in-the-house/) or eggs will take refuge in barns, crawl spaces underneath homes, or sometimes in a home or attic. The best way to keep snakes from entering your home or other building is to prevent snake food (rodents) from entering your home. Closing up all possible entrance locations is a must. Next, a [rodent control program](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-rodent-infestation-removal/) should be put in place to eliminate the food attraction for snakes.

Perimeter Wildlife Control offers pigeon removal and pigeon control services in Atlanta, Georgia. **PIGEON:** Feral pigeons are very common in urban areas, and a common and well-known city pest.

Pigeons weigh about a pound and tend to live for 3-5 years in the wild. They nest at any time of the year, and mate for life. The young hatch only 19 days after the eggs are laid. Pigeons eat a variety of foods. They are usually removed from roosting areas such as beams, store signs, inside buildings, etc. [**CALL NOW! 24/7 SERVICE**](tel:17706510803) --- ### [Coyotes Trapping & Removal Atlanta GA](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/coyote-trapping-removal-atlanta-ga/) **Published:** April 13, 2014 **Author:** Andy **Content:** ![](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/coyote-middle-of-street.webp) # Coyote Trapping & Removal in Atlanta, GA ### Searching for **Coyote Trapping & Removal in Atlanta GA**?

Coyote [control and coyote removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/commercial-pest-removal-atlanta-georgia/) are solutions to problems that are are becoming more and more numerous in urban areas throughout Georgia. As people continue to build, we move out into coyote territory, and confine them in our territories. Urban expansion forces species of prey such as rabbits, [squirrels](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/squirrel-control-atlanta-ga/), and birds into limited green spaces. These undeveloped areas are a haven to crafty predators like coyotes. Unfortunately, the easiest prey may be our beloved household pets. Coyote [control and coyote removal services](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/critters/mole-control-atlanta-ga/) give an important reminder that coyotes are wild animals and should not be fed. There are no effective repellents or deterrents available. The only coyote [control or coyote control measures are coyote removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/squirrel-removal-rodent-control-atlanta/) and relocation through trapping.

Perimeter Wildlife Control offers squirrel removal and emergency squirrel control services in Atlanta, Georgia & surrounding areas including Marietta, Alpharetta, Dunwoody, Suwanee, Roswell, John’s Creek, Norcross, Cumming, Woodstock, Lawrenceville, Buford, & more. While many types of squirrels can cause nuisance problems, from red squirrels to flying squirrels, the Eastern Grays are the most common. They love to live in the attics of buildings, usually in the winter and later summer, when females give birth to their bi-annual litter of young. They are expert chewers, and will chew their way into your home, as well as chew on wires once inside. They primarily eat nuts and grains, and will store these in the attic or walls, along with nesting debris. They are most active in morning and early evening times. These squirrels typically only live a few years in the wild. [**CALL NOW! 24/7 SERVICE**](tel:17706510803) ### Interesting Gray Squirrel Facts: - Gray squirrels are active from dawn to dusk, with most feeding occurring in the early morning, and then again in the mid-late afternoon. These tree squirrels usually feed on fruits, nuts, and other vegetation. - Squirrels breed twice a year (usually around January and June) and have a 42 – 45 day gestation. They usually have 2 – 4 young that are weaned at 10 – 12 weeks and can live up to 4 years old in the wild. - These [rodents nest](https://perimeterwildlife.org/7-signs-you-have-a-rodent-problem/) in tree cavities, leaf nests, and attics. Common entries to the home are roof vents, gable vents, soffit vents & gaps, construction gaps, eaves, and rotten fascia boards. - While most trespassing animals are merely a nuisance they can pose a real threat to humans. It is estimated that 25 – 50% of all fires of unknown origin or deemed “accidental” are caused by all rodents gnawing electrical wires. Squirrels are known carriers of encephalitis and typhus, although they are generally not carriers of rabies. ### Squirrel Damages & Exclusion Repairs - Damage concerns include squirrels: chewing bark off trees and shrubs, raiding crops and bird feeders, and shorting out transformers while traveling power-lines, as well as exterior & structural damages to the home or building. - In the fall and winter months squirrels enter dwellings for shelter, and in the spring they enter to raise young. Attic damage can include heavily soiled (with squirrel feces & urine) and compressed insulation as well as damaged attic vents, fans, & electrical wiring. - Wildlife technicians at Perimeter Wildlife Control utilize trapping techniques that include cage traps for [live humane trapping and removal](https://perimeterwildlifecontrol.com/atlanta-georgia-24-7-animal-trapping-removal-services/wildlife-animal-trapping-and-removal-atlanta-ga/) along with proper baiting for the type of squirrel & season. Live traps are set in the line of travel outside the den entrance, or inside the attic area after exclusion has been completed. - Squirrels inside the home almost always come in through the fireplaces, chimneys, eaves, or rooflines and should only be removed by Georgia DNR certified personnel with the proper safety equipment & credentials. - Poisons & Toxicants are illegal and are not to be used in squirrel control (animals may die in wall voids and cause odor problems). There may also be secondary poisoning hazards to pets (e.g. dogs that eat sick squirrels) and children may be bitten trying to assist sick animals. - Trimming trees back 10-15 feet from the structure can help to prevent roof access, but is not a permanent solution. Perimeter Wildlife Control’s repair technicians use sheet metal, hardware-cloth, or wood to seal and close up entry holes to prevent future access. For chimney exclusions Perimeter Wildlife’s technicians install only NFPA 211 and BOCA approved chimney screens and rain-caps to prevent squirrel entry & fire hazards.
