squirrel removal Atlanta

When you suspect wildlife has invaded your Metro-Atlanta home, the first and most critical step is a professional inspection. Our trained specialists conduct a thorough investigation of both your property's interior and exterior. We listen to your experiences—those strange sounds in the attic at night, the unexplained odors, or the visible damage—and use that information to guide our search. We look for definitive signs like animal tracks, rub marks, droppings, nests, and most importantly, the entry points these clever creatures used to get inside.

Once we've identified the species, the extent of the infestation, and their access routes, we develop a custom, humane removal plan. We never use a one-size-fits-all approach. For raccoons, we may employ live trapping or one-way excluder valves. For squirrels, strategic trapping is often key. For protected species like bats, we utilize specialized bat valves that allow exit but block re-entry, always adhering to local ordinances and never separating mothers from their young. Our methods are designed to resolve your problem effectively while treating the animals with respect. We guarantee all animals are removed before we move to the next phase, giving you absolute confidence that your home is truly vacant.

Removing the animals is only half the battle. Without proper exclusion, new wildlife will find their way into the same attractive harborage. Our exclusion services provide the permanent, long-term solution that sets Critter Control apart in Metro-Atlanta. Exclusion involves creating physical barriers to seal every potential entry point we identified during our inspection. We use durable, professional-grade materials like heavy-duty wire mesh, steel flashing, and specialized sealants to fortify your home's vulnerable areas—roof vents, soffits, chimney caps, foundation cracks, and crawl space accesses.

This work is performed only after we have verified that all animals are gone. Our technicians are skilled craftsmen who understand building structures, ensuring that our exclusions are not only effective but also aesthetically pleasing and protective of your home's integrity. We go beyond simple sealing; we modify the habitat around your property to make it less attractive to wildlife, offering advice on managing food sources, water, and shelter. This proactive approach breaks the cycle of infestation, giving you lasting peace of mind and protecting your investment from future costly damage.

Wildlife infestations leave behind more than just memories; they leave a trail of destruction and biohazards. Feces, urine, and nesting materials contaminate insulation, pose serious health risks through airborne pathogens, and create persistent odors. Our repair and remediation service is designed to completely restore your Metro-Atlanta home to a safe, clean, and healthy condition. We start with a professional-grade sanitization and deodorization process, applying EPA-registered agents to neutralize disease-causing agents and eliminate odors at their source.

If insulation has been soiled or destroyed—a common occurrence with raccoon, rodent, or bat infestations—we provide full attic restoration. We safely remove all contaminated material, treat the underlying surfaces, and install new, energy-efficient insulation to restore your home's thermal barrier and efficiency. Our repairs also extend to fixing the physical damage caused by wildlife: chewed electrical wires (a major fire hazard), torn ductwork, damaged soffits and vents, and compromised structural elements. We handle the entire messy process, from cleanup to reconstruction, so you can enjoy a home that's not just animal-free, but fully restored.
