If you have a problem with wildlife in your Blue Ridge home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Georgia wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Georgia and Blue Ridge, and I recommend the following:
NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Fannin County Animal Services: (706) 632-3845

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:
Pro X Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Services is a full-service Blue Ridge wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Blue Ridge pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all
similar to wildlife removal. Pro X Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Services performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All
animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and
cleanup is sometimes recommended.
Blue Ridge wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Georgia to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement
is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know.
Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Georgia law. We offer Blue Ridge raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.
Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Pro X Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Services. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live
and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Blue Ridge squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.
Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed.
Never, ever use poison! Most Blue Ridge exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Blue Ridge rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.
Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Georgia is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and
cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Blue Ridge pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Blue Ridge bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.
If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Blue Ridge trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Blue Ridge wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points
into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Pro X Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Services does both.
The above are just some of the services offered by Pro X Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Services. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc.
Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Pro X Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Services
also provides dead animal removal in Blue Ridge. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Blue Ridge snake removal - most of the snakes in Georgia are not venomous, but
call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Blue Ridge. And remember, we are a private business, not Fannin County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (706) 632-3845.
Fannin County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.
Every wildlife removal situation is different, from the species of animals involved, the location of the animal inside a house or outside, the extent of repairs or cleanup, etc. It's impossible to give one-size-fits-all prices. Examples MIGHT include:

Blue Ridge Wildlife Tip #1:
How Do Snakes Sleep?
Does snake ever sleep? How do snakes sleep as their eyes are always widely open? Is there anyhow to know when snake is sleeping? Actually, snakes do sleep even when their eyes do not close due to lack of eyelids. Some time a snake will be sleeping even when the eyes are as if they are staring at your face. This mode of sleeping is among the reason why even snake prey and predators are not always able to know when snakes are sleeping and when they are awake.
Snake sleep anytime they want
There is no time table for snake to sleep as most of them in the wild usually sleep at any time they feel like sleeping. Most of them prefer to sleep when they have the chance to do so while some other snake species only sleep at particular time of the year. During the winter season when the weather is cold and unfavorable to snakes, they always retire back to their holes and other habitats for sleeping. But as for the time, some snakes sleep when they feel like sleeping.
Nocturnal snakes sleep during the day
There are some nocturnal snakes that usually stay wake during the night and sleep throughout the day. Those kinds of snakes can be within your garden sleeping with you even knowing that you have such skin of neighbor with you. But, one thing is that since snakes usually sleep with the eyes open you will not be able to ascertain when they are sleeping and when they are awake.
Snakes can sleep while hanging on top of a tree
In order to enjoy sound sleep and great relaxation, snakes usually select the place to sleep. Some of them normally climb on top of tree like palm tree and hide inside there to enjoy really sound sleep. So, you can find such snake hanging on branch of a tree sleeping without even knowing that it is sleeping.
Some snake species prefer to sleep inside their holes
Depending on the weather condition, snakes usually choose their perfect place for sleeping. Some even prefer to hide inside holes, hallow of tree, backs of tree, heap of leaves, grass land and others. In fact, snakes always ensure that they find most suitable and favorable place to go when they are feeling like to sleep. So, if the nocturnal snake finds itself into your garage, it can be there for a long time without you noticing the presence since it will never come out during the day.
Blue Ridge Wildlife Tip #2:
Georgia Wildlife Information:
Georgia State bird: Brown thrasher
State mammal: Right whale
State reptile: Gopher tortoise
State amphibian: American green tree frog
State fish: Largemouth bass
State insect: European honeybee
There are many delightful things about Georgia. The landscape is thick with vegetation, primarily due to the significant amount of precipitation annually and the hot temperatures. Even in the northern mountains, the days are long and hot, often interrupted by brief spats of rain. Forest and field thrive here, and Georgia is also home to one of the places in the country teeming with wildlife: Okefenokee Swamp. The swamp, which consists of 438,000 acres of marshland, is home to over 200 species of birds, 50 mammal species, 64 reptile species, 39 fish species, and 37 species of amphibian. Of those animals, the largest are the alligators and the black bears. These predators have no trouble locating food within the park's boundaries. Smaller animals, like raccoons, feed off of the eggs laid by marsh birds and reptiles alike. Not surprisingly, dangerous animals, like the cottonmouth snake, also make the swamp home.
Though filled with animals, the swamp makes up only a small part of Georgia. The rest of the state is just as populated with critters, and because it is also densely populated with people, clashes between the species are inevitable.
Alligators are not confined to Okefenokee Swamp. These large reptiles have no fear of humans, and they make their homes in any waterway where food is present. People living near rivers and streams must always be on the lookout for the dangerous alligator; the animal is almost invisible when underwater.
Even common pest animals fall prey to alligators. Raccoons, which are frequent invaders of homes, can get too close to the water's edge and be snatched up as a meal. This is one reason why it is important to keep pest animals like armadillos, raccoons, rats, squirrels, and skunks off of your property. Sometimes they will lure in larger, more fearsome creatures.
Rats and other scavengers are common in Georgia. The heat amplifies the odors of discarded food, and it doesn't take long in the summer sun for a rat, opossum, or raccoon to wander into the yard looking for the compost pile or the open garbage bin. Pet food is another aromatic lure for these small creatures. The nights in Georgia are not cool enough to temper a smell, and many pests wait until after dark to strike.
