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 Cartersville, and I recommend the following:

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Georgia and Bartow County licensed and insured

• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
• Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste



Pro X Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Services is a full-service Cartersville wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Cartersville 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.

Cartersville 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 Cartersville 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 Cartersville 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 Cartersville 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 Cartersville 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 Cartersville pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Cartersville 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 Cartersville trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Cartersville 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 Cartersville. 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 Cartersville 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 Cartersville. And remember, we are a private business, not Bartow County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (770) 387-5153. Bartow County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Cartersville Wildlife Tip #1:
Do Relocated Mice Survive?

There are a growing number of people who are capturing mice and then relocating them to another area instead of killing them. Relocating them may seem more humane than killing them, but is it an assurance that they will thrive in their new home? Let us look at some of the factors that determine whether or not the mice will survive.

Food

This is the single most important factor that influences the survival of any living thing. Mice are known to be very heavy eaters -compared to their size. The reason why mice thrive in your house is because there is plenty of food. If there is little food in the house, it could be that your house gives them easy access to a source of food outside the house. The important thing is that the mice know exactly where they will get the food from. However, when you relocate a mouse, you release it to a new environment, an environment where it has to start looking for new places to find food. The problem with not knowing where to look is that they could die even before they found the source of their first meal. This narrows the chances of survival for relocated mice.

Security

Ever noted how easy it is to run away from danger when you know the landscape well? That is the same case with mice. They can be able to run away from danger once they have gotten used to the new landscape. However, predators do not wait for the mice to get acquainted with their new home, danger strikes at any time, even a few minutes after you have set the mice free. This means that they cannot run away from their predators effectively since they have not found any hiding spots yet.

Isolation

Ever noted how hard it is to make friends in a new place? It takes time to know people in a new neighborhood. Before meeting new parks of mice, relocated mice may feel so lonely that they suffer from depression and stress. Mice like living in groups as this ensures chances of mating and increases security. If the relocated mice do not find a new group to attach themselves to, then they may suffer from stress and eventually die.

A change in environment

Environmental changes can be very difficult for many animals. For example, relocating mice from the urban areas into the wild can be a fatal thing for them mice. One reason is that there is easy availability of food in the urban areas, but in the wild, it is a struggle for food against bigger and more dangerous competitors. Also, there are fewer predators in the urban areas than there in the wild. This means that the mice have a lot of adapting to do before the can adapt to the new environment. In addition, while there may be many places to make burrows in a home, there are few secure and suitable spots for the same in the wild. This is more cumbersome when the relocated mouse is only one as opposed to when they can comfort each other in a group.

Cartersville Wildlife Tip #2:
How Do Bats Use Echolocation?

As a species, bats tend to have a bad reputation with people, and there are certain facts about these nocturnal creatures that tend to make them unpopular with people. The fact that some bats do feed on blood, along with the fact that they are usually associated with dank and dark places such as caves mean they are associated with other unpleasant things, but bats as a species are very clever and have adapted to make the most of their biological advantages. One of these advantages is echolocation, a system that allows the bats to effectively see the immediate area surrounding them in the dark, without having to use an amazing sense of eyesight.

The Process Of Echolocation

The key process of echolocation is similar to the radar systems used in many military installations, although on a much smaller scale, and the key to the process is that the bat produces a noise that touches all of the surroundings and animals nearby. The bat is then able to listen to the echoes that happen when these sounds bounce from the items in the vicinity, and can then use this information to navigate. With bats usually hunting at dusk or in the dark, this allows them to hunt even though the light may be very poor, and is a vital part of their evolution and survival.

Navigation While Flying

In order to be able to navigate effectively, the bats have to send out regular sounds to receive the echoes as they fly, but their highly advanced senses mean they can process the information particularly quickly. This gives them a tremendous versatility and the ability to fly in even the tightest spots, while they are also very sensitive to other animals in the area, and will often be able to sense potential predators too. The one weakness with this type of navigation is that materials such as wire mesh do not appear on their echolocation map properly, which is why using cage traps really isn't effective when dealing with bats.

The Benefits Of Echolocation When Hunting

The echolocation that they receive is very detailed, and allows them to track their prey very effectively, which gives the bats a real advantage and that few insects that they want to catch are able to escape. This also means that when they are hunting the echolocation is a system that is far superior to the eyesight that would be used by other species in similar situations.

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.
