Sandy Springs Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Sandy Springs, GA

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

Critter Control

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



Critter Control 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 Critter Control 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.

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

  • Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
  • Fully Georgia and Fulton 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

  • Critter Control is a full-service Sandy Springs wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Sandy Springs pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Critter Control 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.

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

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

    The above are just some of the services offered by Critter Control. 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. Critter Control also provides dead animal removal in Sandy Springs. 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 Sandy Springs 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 Sandy Springs. And remember, we are a private business, not Fulton County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 404-613-0358. Fulton County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Sandy Springs Wildlife Tip #1:
    Should I feed a baby skunk I found?

    It is not advisable for humans to feed the baby skunk, because they are not meant for the formula milk. You have to know first if the baby is orphaned or not. If will be of help if you will find a lactating female on the street even if it was killed by a vehicle, that may be an indication that the baby is orphaned. To know if the mom is not nearby and alive, check for a day and see if there is a skunk that will be seeking for her babies. if the baby skunks are only seen from April to May, there is a possibility that they are orphaned, because the mom and the babies are like humans, they cannot be separated. It is essential to be cautious in keeping their families together and not trap from March to October, because the mom will be separated from their babies.

    If you have found the babies, they are more likely to be scared and hungry, they will come out at night time, however, they will find food or people to be of help to them. Moreover, you will typically see them at day time looking for food. The skunks that are visible at daytime is usually perceived as a sign of rabid skunks, but they are not. They just look for food and these are usually between the age of 4-8 weeks. If you have known that they are orphan, you can keep them while you are still contacting the wildlife rehabber. Be sure that you wear a set of gloves and then move slowly, so you will not scare this creature. You must approach it in a non-threatening manner, so you will not be sprayed.

    You can keep the baby warm all the time by placing a heating pad, be sure that it can get off the heat when it wants to. Do not attempt to bottle feed the babies or give them solids, if you do not know what their conditions are. You must be trained in this field to be able to handle this, just be sure that the rehabber will be there at any moment to assist you with your concerns. The babies may be dehydrated, so a fluid therapy can help.

    Be sure that the skunks have reached their normal body temperature before you give them fluids. They cannot process the foods or the liquids until their body is warm and in its right body temperature. If the fluids are given to a skunk that is chilling, they will not have the capacity to process it and they may die. When you have seen a baby skunk, just think that it is dehydrated and check for some signs of dehydration. A dehydrated skunk will look grayish, the eyes are whites and the skin is rough, their skin may also be dry. Some of the rehabbers use a tent test to check if the skunks are dehydrated before giving them liquids.

    Sandy Springs 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 Critter Control, any time of day, at 678-971-3341, for a price quote for Sandy Springs wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Sandy Springs, GA.
