If you are having a problem with wildlife in your Brookhaven 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 Brookhaven, and I recommend the following:
Nextgen Pest Solutions
Cell Phone: 404-334-2961
NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call DeKalb County Animal Services: 404-294-2996
Nextgen Pest Solutions specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats
or mice in homes. Georgia also has a documented problem with
bats in buildings, and Nextgen Pest Solutions is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the
property. Call
404-334-2961 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment.
When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:
- Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
- Fully Georgia and DeKalb County licensed and insured
- Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
- Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
- Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
- Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste
Nextgen Pest Solutions is a full-service Brookhaven wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Brookhaven pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all
similar to wildlife removal. Nextgen Pest Solutions 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.

Brookhaven 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 Brookhaven raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Nextgen Pest Solutions. 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 Brookhaven 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 Brookhaven 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 Brookhaven 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 Brookhaven pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Brookhaven 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 Brookhaven trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Brookhaven 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. Nextgen Pest Solutions does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Nextgen Pest Solutions. 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. Nextgen Pest Solutions

call us if you want safe removal, or read about
how to get rid of snakes in Brookhaven. And remember, we are a private business, not DeKalb County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 404-294-2996.
DeKalb County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Brookhaven Wildlife Tip #1:Know How to Keep the Snakes Away from Your Basement
Snakes mostly intrude human households in search of food and shelter, especially before laying eggs. They prefer to nest in a damp, enclosed place and there is no better place than the basement. The snakes usually get into the basement through holes or cracks. They sometimes slide across the walls of the basement and remain there. If it is enough frightening to find one snake in your basement, it must be terrible if you find a whole nest of snaks in your basement.
The first thing that you have to do upon finding a snake in your basement is to keep calm and not panic. Snakes have a keen sense of vibration and heat registers. If they feel threatened by something, they might attack you, especially when they are nesting. Therefore, it is advisable to stay absolute still.
The second thing that you need to keep in mind that you should not grab the snake by your hand even though many people on the internet might ask you to do so. Holding a snake by your hands to take them is the most dangerous thing, if you do not have enough experience. There are over three thousand species of snakes in the world and it is impossible for a person who does not have much knowledge about snakes to know whether or not the snake is venomous. Needless to say, if a venomous snake bites you or scratches you with its fangs, it might be fatal for you. But even if a snake that does not have poisonous fangs might have a venomous tongue which might cause allergic reactions in your body. Therefore, if you see a snake lurking in your basement, it is best that you call your nearest animal control authority and get rid of it.
Use Snake Traps
If there is one snake or even a nest of snakes, you can use the various high-tech snake traps that are available in the market. You can either buy the more traditional box or cage traps or the modern minnow traps. Buy the snake trap depending on the number of snakes or the kind of snakes that are intruding your basement. You can take help of the wildlife control regarding the identification of the snake by describing it to them. If the snake disappears by the time you buy the trap, you can always bait them by keeping eggs, worms, insects etc in your basement to lure them into the trap.
Use Snake Repellents
The snake is using your basement for food and shelter because it is available and comfortable for them. Shut any hole or crack from which the snake is entering. You might put clothes soaked with carbolic acid which works as snake repellent. There are also snakes repellents available in the market that is made of mongoose urine, which make the snakes feel threatened. Basically, the plan is to make the basement unliveable or inaccessible for the snakes.
Brookhaven 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.
You can always call Nextgen Pest Solutions, any time of day, at 404-334-2961, for a price quote for Brookhaven wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Brookhaven, GA.
