Mouse Trapping & Control Services in North Georgia

Effective. Flat-Rate Trapping. No Hidden Fees.

At Southern Wildlife Management, we offer professional Mouse Trapping and Mouse Control Services backed by 15 years of experience, using humane methods, with fast response times. If you’ve seen droppings, gnaw marks, or heard scratching in your walls or attic, chances are a mouse has already made itself at home. Mice are silent intruders that contaminate food, chew wires, and damage insulation—making quick action essential. Our approach combines strategic trapping followed by expert exclusion to stop current activity and prevent future invasions.

We work daily in homes across North Georgia offering tailored solutions based on structure, severity, and entry points. Whether we’re setting traps, sealing gaps, or inspecting attics and crawlspaces, our goal is to protect your home with long-term results, not just a temporary fix.

FLAT-RATE MOUSE TRAPPING

You pay One Flat Fee for 1 Week of Trapping – Monday through Friday. Our MOUSE TRAPPING SERVICES includes:

• Up to 5 Total Visits: We set, check, bait, and reset traps daily (Mon–Fri)
• Flat Rate Fee – No setup costs, no per-animal charge, no quote needed
• Daily Trap Checks – To comply with Georgia law and avoid educating mice
• Trap Adjustments & Bait Refreshing – Ensures maximum effectiveness

Daily trap checks aren’t just the law in Georgia—they’re critical for success. Mice quickly learn to avoid traps if they see a dead one. Frequent checks allow us to move traps and freshen bait to stay ahead of them.

• Property Inspection – We assess where mice are entering and choose the right traps and placements
• Humane Trapping Tools – Includes live cage traps, snap traps, and concealed indoor traps
• Discreet Indoor Setups – All indoor traps are placed inside sealed boxes to prevent visual issues
• Licensed & Legal – Daily trap checks are performed per Georgia DNR regulations

Once we trap the mice, we go a step further—WE KEEP THEM OUT. Mice leave behind scent trails that attract other rodents, so sealing up your home is crucial. Our Mouse Exclusion Services focuses on permanently sealing any openings with the highest quality materials.

Common Mouse Entry Points:

• Gable vents
• Soffit junctions
• Construction gaps along the gutter line
• Dryer and bathroom vents
• Foundation holes & cracks

We can’t give exclusion quotes over the phone—but we’ll inspect your home during the trapping week and provide a same-day quote. If approved, we’ll get started immediately to boost your trapping success and protect your home long-term.

• Appearance: Small, light brown to gray fur with a long, thin tail. They are smaller than rats.
• Habitat: Often nests indoors, in walls, attics, cabinets, and storage areas. Common in both urban and rural settings, especially where food is easily accessible.
• Danger: Can contaminate food with their droppings and urine, spread diseases, and cause damage to insulation, wiring, and furniture.

• Appearance: Brown or gray with white feet and underbelly; slightly larger than house mice. Has a bi-colored tail.
• Habitat: Typically found in rural or semi-rural homes, particularly in attics, basements, and sheds. They also invade homes near wooded areas.
• Danger: Known carriers of hantavirus, which can be deadly to humans. They also cause structural damage and contaminate stored food.

• Appearance: Similar to the deer mouse but slightly larger, with darker fur and a bi-colored tail.
• Habitat: Found primarily in rural areas, but they can enter homes, especially near woodlands or wetlands. They prefer attics, basements, and wall voids.
• Danger: Can carry diseases like hantavirus and other parasites. Like other mice, they can contaminate food and cause damage to property.

• Appearance: Small, with brown fur and a white underbelly. Has a short tail compared to other mice.
• Habitat: More common in rural areas, often nesting in tall grasses, but can invade homes in agricultural regions or near fields. May nest in barns, sheds, or outbuildings.
• Danger: Can spread disease and cause damage to stored goods in barns or other structures. Less common indoors than other species but still a potential pest.

🐭 Top 15 Mice & Mouse Control FAQs for Georgia Wildlife Removal

Q) How do I know if I have mice or rats in my attic?

A) Mice usually make soft scratching sounds in walls or ceilings at night. You might find droppings about the size of rice grains, chew marks on wiring or stored items, and small entry points near pipes or gable vents.

Q) Are mice in Georgia active year-round?

A) Yes. Mice stay active throughout the year in Georgia’s mild climate, but they’re more likely to enter homes in fall and winter when outdoor food sources drop.

Q) What kind of damage can mice cause inside my home?

A) Mice chew through insulation, wiring, air ducts, and even stored items. Their droppings and urine contaminate attic insulation, and they can spark electrical fires if they gnaw wires.

Q) How do mice get into homes in the first place?

A) Mice squeeze through gaps as small as ¼ inch — often entering through construction gaps, soffit returns, gable vents, or crawl space vents. Most entry points are found along the roofline or foundation.

Q) Why do I keep hearing noises at night in the attic?

A) If you hear activity between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., it’s likely mice. They’re nocturnal and most active when the home is quiet, especially near insulation or HVAC lines.

Q) What’s the difference between mice and roof rats in Georgia?

A) Mice are smaller and quieter, with fine droppings and tiny chew marks. Roof rats are louder, have larger droppings, and often nest in attic corners and soffits. Both require different exclusion tactics.

Q) What areas of my home are mice most likely to nest in?

A) Mice prefer attic insulation, voids between walls, behind stored boxes, and around HVAC ducting. They choose places that are warm, quiet, and close to food.

Q) Are bait stations enough to eliminate a mouse problem?

A) No. Bait stations may reduce the population temporarily, but unless you seal the home, new mice will return. Exclusion work is the only permanent solution.

Q) How do wildlife control companies trap mice?

A) We use snap traps or multi-catch traps inside attic spaces and drop ceilings, while sealing off entry points on the outside. We do not rely on poison since it can lead to dead mice inside walls or ceilings.

Q) Is mouse exclusion the same as pest control?

A) No. Pest control often involves baiting and monthly visits. Mouse exclusion means sealing entry points to keep them out permanently — a service only offered by trained wildlife professionals.

Q) What’s the risk of having mice in the attic long-term?

A) Besides the smell and noise, mice leave pheromone trails that attract more rodents. Over time, insulation becomes contaminated, and damage to wires or air systems adds up fast.

Q) How long does mouse exclusion take?

A) Most homes take one – three days to fully seal. We locate and block all current and likely entry points, sometimes using metal mesh or hardware cloth behind vents and under ridge caps.

Q) Can mice come back after exclusion?

A) Not if the work is done properly. We provide warranties and often use critter-proof materials that mice can’t chew through.

Q) Do mice cause the same kind of damage as squirrels or rats?

A) They cause similar contamination and wire damage, but on a smaller scale. However, because mice breed quickly, a small issue can become a large infestation fast.

Q) What cities do you offer mouse trapping and exclusion in?

A) We service mouse control in Cumming, Alpharetta, Dawsonville, Gainesville, Johns Creek, Peachtree Corners, Milton and all surrounding areas of North Georgia.
