Rodents, for instance, use scent markings to communicate, meaning that if you’ve dealt with rodents once, you may encounter them again. Studies show rodents mark their territory with urine to convey vital social information such as species, sex, and identity. These markings can even relay metabolic information like social rank and reproductive status, attracting new rodents over time.

– Our Typical Ellijay Squirrel, Rat & Wildlife Control Process –

All of our wildlife control services are offered at flat-rate pricing. Rat and squirrel trapping jobs are typically scheduled for a one-week period, while more complex jobs, such as those involving aquatic species or predators, may require a two-week booking. While on your property, we assess vulnerable areas that may need sealing to prevent future entry and provide you with a no-obligation quote for exclusion services.

With all of our Ellijay Wildlife Control services, there is NO setup fee, NO per animal fee, and NO need for an estimate. The trapping service includes 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 three reasons: 1) It’s required by law, 2) It is humane to all animals, and 3) It maximizes the effectiveness of your trapping service. If someone claims they set traps and return days later, be cautious, as it’s inhumane, teaches rodents to avoid traps, and is often illegal.

OUR ELLIJAY WILDLIFE EXCLUSION SERVICES

Wildlife exclusion, often referred to as Critter-Proofing, involves securing your home to prevent animals like squirrels, flying squirrels, bats, mice, and rats from entering. It goes beyond removal, providing a long-term solution that prevents critters from re-entering and keeps your Ellijay property safeguarded from future infestations. When wildlife enters your home, they leave behind odors, droppings, and scent trails that can attract more rodents. Without professional exclusion services, these lingering scents may invite another wave of pests.

Southern Wildlife Management specializes in AFFORDABLE & Guaranteed Wildlife Exclusion Services, using only top-quality Critter-Proof materials and devices to ensure that critters cannot re-enter through the secured areas. For vulnerable spots like construction gaps along the gutter line, gable vents, bathroom and dryer vents, soffit returns, and other common entry points, we use a customized combination of solid galvanized metal and other Critter-Proof materials suited to each specific area.

Our exclusion services prioritize function and aesthetics. Unlike others, we take extra steps to paint materials and fastener heads, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your home’s exterior. For gable vents, we even spray both sides of the wire mesh to ensure durability and a polished finish.

Every home and exclusion need is unique, so we conduct on-site assessments during our trapping to determine entry points and provide an accurate proposal. This ensures a reliable, customized solution. Once approved, our team works promptly to secure your home. All of our exclusion work is backed by a FREE 5-Year Warranty for lasting peace of mind.
