ELIJAH FEDERATION
WILDLIFE TECHNICIAN

Bruce Lyman
Bruce moved up from Florida to join our family in this endeavor. He was always determined to push himself to become the “expert” in everything he attempted. He instantly took to the Wildlife Exclusions which required having an intimate understanding of each of the species that we deal with when understanding behaviors and what is required to stop them from getting in. He is always up for a challenge in overcoming obstacles with any construction barriers. He is the “go to” person when any of us have questions or concerns with use providing exclusions services. He is dedicated & such a hard worker.
Our Wildlife Trapping Story….
We started Southern Wildlife Management in 2009 in Johns Creek with a simple mission: provide affordable, humane wildlife removal that actually works. As a licensed Wildlife Trapper and Wildlife Rehabilitator, weโre one of the only companies in Georgia thatโs certified to both remove and legally care for animals.
What began as a two-person team (Rick and Verron) has grown into a tight-knit, family-run business. Our oldest, Elliot (โLโ), helped expand into pest control, earning every license needed to offer safer, eco-friendly services. Our nephew, Bruce, raised the bar for wildlife exclusions โ creating lasting solutions that seal homes with pride and precision.
In the early years, we were truly 24/7 โ answering calls late at night, handling emergencies anytime. Now, with trusted systems in place and our youngest son Elijah joining the team, weโre able to focus more on what matters: family and delivering top-tier service.
