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

On Track Wildlife Removal

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

• Fully Georgia and Upson 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



On Track Wildlife Removal is a full-service Thomaston wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Thomaston pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. On Track Wildlife Removal 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.

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at On Track Wildlife Removal. 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 Thomaston 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 Thomaston 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 Thomaston 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 Thomaston pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Thomaston 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 Thomaston trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Thomaston 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. On Track Wildlife Removal does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by On Track Wildlife Removal. 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. On Track Wildlife Removal also provides dead animal removal in Thomaston. 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 Thomaston 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 Thomaston. And remember, we are a private business, not Upson County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 706-647-5586. Upson County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Thomaston Wildlife Tip #1:
Popular Snake Rhyme - Red Touch Yellow Kills A Fellow

You might have heard your kids chanting various type of poems, but very few of you might have noticed the hidden meaning behind what they keep on saying all the time. These poems actually wrap a few essential information and messages inside that can be useful for a lifetime. One of the most popular poems that you may hear from your kid's mouth is:

Red Touch Yellow, Kills a Fellow

Red Touch Black, Venom Lack

These are just two main lines of this poem; it is actually a long poem with lots of important facts about snakes. Through these easy and simple poems, kids are trained to know if the snake they find around is poisonous or not. Although these poems have wrapped lots of important details in these lines, they are not always true. Some of these prediction methods fail in front of a few snakes. For example, this rhyme doesn't suit to a coral snake and shovelnose snakes. Experts reveal that both these snakes have various yellow bands that keep on touching red bands. And even a single bite of a coral snake can lead to life-threatening conditions. This mixture is believed to be harmful, but shovel snake is still not venomous one. Hence, these old age poems often get incorrect may lead to life-threatening issues.

In simple words, there is no specific way to tell whether a snake is venomous or not. Only a few experienced people can identify these details accurately. There is no doubt to say that some snakes have physical characteristics as mentioned in the poem, but their action and impact of venom is exactly the opposite. In order to keep yourself safe from snake attacks, it is better to maintain a great distance from these creatures. If you live in the snake affected area, it is even better to go through the snake identification guidelines to ensure complete safety for your family. Some of the major factors that are utilized for snake identification include scale patterns, facial features, width, length, color patterns and the tail patterns of the reptile. In short, one cannot simply rely on color to identify whether the snake is venomous or not.

Nursery poems cannot carry complete truth; they just have basic details wrapped in them; rest all is yet to be understood by kids in the upcoming years of their educational carrier. Homeowners are advised to get proper guidelines about how to save their property from snake attacks so that any unpleasant condition can be avoided in advance. Prefer to keep your premises clean from dirt and debris so that snakes do not find any space to hide. It is better to keep your kids and pets inside to keep them safe from snake attacks. You can take help from professionals to remove snakes from your garden and yard area. The licensed exterminators know right tips and tricks to handle the issue on time. They can also update your knowledge base to identify snakes accurately.

Thomaston 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 On Track Wildlife Removal, any time of day, at 770-769-2065, for a price quote for Thomaston wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Thomaston, GA.
