If you have a problem with wildlife in your Dunwoody 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 Dunwoody, and I recommend the following:

Nextgen Pest Solutions
Cell Phone: 678-804-4556

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call DeKalb County Animal Services: (404) 613-0358

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 678-804-4556 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2020.

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 Dunwoody wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Dunwoody 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.

Dunwoody 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 Dunwoody 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 Dunwoody 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 Dunwoody 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 Dunwoody 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 Dunwoody pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Dunwoody 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 Dunwoody trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Dunwoody 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 also provides dead animal removal in Dunwoody. 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 Dunwoody 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 Dunwoody. 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) 613-0358. DeKalb County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Dunwoody Wildlife Tip #1:
WHAT TO DO IF YOU GET BITTEN BY A SNAKE

Snake bites can occur if you happen to run into a hungry snake or if it feels threatened by your presence. They can happen while hiking, camping, or even in your own home. While it is true that not all snake bites inject venom into the bloodstream, it's not always easy to be sure, and because a venomous bite can be very dangerous and deadly, it is important to take immediate action after a bite to minimize the risk of a fatal outcome.

A snake bite must be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible to prevent permanent tissue damage or even avoid loss of life. Most snake venoms act fairly quickly, but with quick action, you will have time to reach medical help and receive an antidote.

Steps can be taken immediately after a bite, to slow down the venoms progress and buy some extra time. This is especially useful when the snake attack occurs far from easy access to a hospital or a doctor, like the mountains or a forest. It can be several hours before you reach the city and these first aid steps can be the difference between life and death.

The first thing you must do is reduce movement in the affected area, this helps slow down the spreading of the venom through the bloodstream. Clean the wound, but do not flush with water, as any residue of the venom on your skin can help identify it and the doctors will be able to give you the correct antidote. Apply a bandage and a splint of possible to help the area become as still as possible.

Make sure you remove jewelry like rings and bracelets, tight clothing, and shoes and socks (if bitten on the leg or foot) because when swelling inevitably occurs, these items will then become impossible to remove and can cause a lot of pain.

Call 911 immediately and wait for help to come. Walking for help is not recommended, the movement will cause your heart rate to increase and you will begin to absorb and spread the venom more quickly through your body.

Some people think that cutting the wound open to allow the venom to drain or trying to suck the venom out will help, but this is not advisable as it will probably cause more pain and not help at all.

Do not, under any circumstance, try to capture the snake, this is probably why you got bitten in the first place, and greatly increases the chance of being bitten again, (which could lower your chances of survival). After being bitten get as far as you can from the snakes reach, but try to memorize the colors and patterns of the snake, as this will help the doctors identify it and treat your wounds correctly.

Dunwoody 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 678-804-4556, for a price quote for Dunwoody wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Dunwoody, GA.
