Rodents communicate and attract each other through markings, meaning if you’ve had rodents once, you might encounter them again. Studies show that rodents mark areas with urine to signal social information such as species, sex, individual identity, and more. These markers can also indicate metabolic details like social dominance, reproductive status, and health.

– Our Typical Ball Ground Squirrel, Rat & Wildlife Control Process –

All of our wildlife control services are set at a flat-rate cost. Rat and squirrel trapping jobs are scheduled for a one-week period, while advanced trapping jobs, such as aquatic species and predators, are typically booked as two-week jobs. While on your property, we assess what areas need sealing to prevent future entry and quickly email you a no-obligation quote for exclusion services.

With all of our Ball Ground Wildlife Control services, there is NO setup fee, NO per animal fee, and NO need for an estimate. The trapping service is all-inclusive: UP TO Five (5) trips for rodents and UP TO Ten (10) trips for beaver and fox (excluding weekends) to set traps and remove all trapped animals.

Daily trap checks are essential for several reasons: 1) It’s the law, 2) It is humane to all animals, and 3) It maximizes the value of your trapping service. If someone claims they set traps and only check them days later, it’s inhumane, educates rodents to avoid traps, and is illegal.

OUR BALL GROUND WILDLIFE EXCLUSION

Wildlife exclusion, also known as Critter-Proofing, is the process of securing your home to prevent animals like squirrels, flying squirrels, bats, mice, and rats from entering. Exclusion goes beyond simple removal; it’s a permanent solution that blocks critters from re-entering, keeping your Ball Ground property protected from future infestations. When wildlife invades your home, they leave behind odors, droppings, and scent trails that attract other rodents. Without professional exclusion, these scents can invite the next wave of pests into your home.

Southern Wildlife Management specializes in EFFECTIVE WILDLIFE EXCLUSION by using only the highest quality materials and devices, ensuring no critter can breach the areas we secure. For vulnerable spots like construction gaps along the gutter line, gable vents, dryer and bathroom vents, soffit returns, and other common entry points, we use a combination of solid galvanized metal and other critter-proof materials tailored to each area.

Our exclusion services prioritize both function and aesthetics. Unlike others, we go the extra mile by painting materials and fastener heads to blend seamlessly with your home’s exterior. For gable vents, we even spray both sides of the wire mesh to ensure durability and a clean, polished look.

Since every home and exclusion need is unique, we provide on-site assessments while we are trapping to determine entry points and give an accurate proposal. This ensures that we can offer a reliable, customized solution. Once approved, our team moves quickly to secure your home. All of our exclusion work comes with a FREE 5-Year Warranty for long-lasting protection.

Keep your Ball Ground home secure from unwanted visitors with our expert wildlife exclusion services. Contact Southern Wildlife Management today for a free proposal and lasting peace of mind.

Again trapping is only one part or step in the long-term solution. It is necessary to seal the home to prevent future entry. We will provide you with a FREE estimate to seal your home as a part of our process.

Q: Why is professional bat removal important?

A: Bats can carry diseases, and their guano (droppings) can be hazardous. However, keep in mind the guano isn’t likely to cause any harm unless you have contact with it. If it is in an attic there is limited contact. But with health issues and odor concerns when necessary we recommend a safe removal & sanitizing as well as deodorizing of the area where the guano was. Our Bat Removal service ensures safe handling and thorough cleanup, keeping your home protected.

Q: What should I do if I find a snake on my property?

A: Avoid approaching it. More snake bites occur when humans are trying to capture and or kill snakes. Don’t be that person. There is no need to kill non-venomous snakes. As a matter of fact in Georgia it is illegal to kill non-venomous snakes. Contact our Ball Ground Wildlife Control team, who can identify and safely relocate the snake, ensuring your property stays secure.

Q: Is it dangerous to have a hornet nest around my home?

A: Yes, hornets can be aggressive, especially if disturbed. Professional hornet nest removal is recommended to protect your family from stings and ensure proper handling. Although we are in protective clothing our team gets stung multiple times a day even when protected. It is a tough job.

Q: How can I prevent squirrels from entering my attic?

A: The only way we know of is by sealing entry points and removing food sources. We offer comprehensive Ball Ground Wildlife Exclusion services with a 5-year guarantee to prevent future access.

Q: Why do rats enter homes, and how can I prevent them?

A: Rats are drawn to accessible food sources, like bird feeders, pet food outside, even large breed dog feces left outside with undigested grains, and open garages. Maintaining these areas of concern and using our rat control services helps prevent infestations. We offer a rodent baiting program in secured (locked & weighted) boxes that only permit rodent size critters inside to eat the bait. This, if placed strategically, will help keep the population of rodents outside to a controllable level.

Q: Are bats protected by law, and does that impact removal?

A: Yes, some bat species are protected. Our Bat Exclusion team in Ball Ground follows humane, compliant methods, offering a 10-year warranty for our Bat Exclusion Services.

A: Raised tunnels, soil mounds, and damaged grass are common signs of mole activity. Our Mole Trapping services effectively address these issues trapping and removing any moles that are in the yard to prevent further damage.

Q: What are the risks of trying to remove a hornet nest myself?

A: Hornets are highly defensive and can become aggressive if their nest is disturbed. Professional removal is the safest option to avoid stings.

Q: How can I tell if squirrels are nesting in my attic?

A: Signs include scratching sounds, matted insulation, and droppings. Gray Squirrels leave droppings here and there. If it is a concentrated communal latrine then it is more likely Flying Squirrels. Our Ball Ground Squirrel Control team can assess and safely remove any nests.

Q: Is mole trapping humane?

A: That is a trick question. Yes, our mole trapping methods are humane. Humane meaning that it is quick. Our mole trapping using lethal means to trap the moles. I did want to be transparent that it is lethal trapping. We do not live trap and release moles. No company does that I know of.

We combine Trapping, Baiting and Gassing to come up with the most aggressive Mole Control program possible ensuring that your yard is protected.

Q: Can rats cause significant damage to my home?

A: Absolutely. Rats can chew through wires, insulation, ductwork, and even pipes, leading to costly repairs. Our rat control services help prevent these risks by addressing infestations quickly.

Q: Is bat guano dangerous, and do you handle cleanup?
