Humane Wildlife Control in Athens, GA
The Bulldogs’ mascot Uga is not our only representation of animal life. Here in Athens, we love our furry, feathered, and finned friends. We boast many well-kept parks, including Bishop, Trail Creek, Greenway, and the Sandy Creek Nature Center. These locations allow Athens residents to enjoy wildlife in its natural habitat.
However, when a species prefers private property to its natural home, Athens residents run into problems. As the weather warms, many species become bolder about venturing into residential areas, especially at night. Common pests include everything from mice, squirrels, raccoons, and opossums.
Pest presence in your yard or home causes a myriad of problems on several fronts. For example, if raccoons constantly tear into your garbage or dig up parts of your garden, your landscape will suffer. Regular influxes of rodents and insects results in calling pest control services, which may eventually cause financial hardship. Additionally, home values depreciate if potential buyers discover evidence of rodents, bugs, or other pests within your home. In a still-recovering economy, this is a setback few potential sellers can afford
If you don’t plan to sell your house, can afford regular exterminator visits, and don’t have a garden, you should still be aware of wildlife’s dangers. Wild creatures such as raccoons and opossums might look cute, but they carry rabies, parasites, and other diseases such as aspergillosis, salmonella and its subtypes, and a plethora of viruses. These are dangerous to humans and pets, and they can be fatal. Homeowners with outdoor dogs or cats that often hunt birds and mice should be especially vigilant
Dealing with wildlife can look like an insurmountable task, so don’t try to do it yourself. Instead, call the experts at Georgia Pest and Wildlife Services (P.A.W.S.). Our teams serve Atlanta and the greater Georgia area, including all suburban and rural locations. Our consultations involve thorough property inspections and discussions of which pests will most likely infiltrate your home. We work with our customers to create a humane and sustainable trapping and exclusion program.
Once the wildlife is removed, the P.A.W.S. staff will ensure your home is healthy and safe. We never leave fur, droppings, or parasitic insects for you to deal with. Instead, we promise detailed cleanup of any location wildlife has infiltrated. When necessary, our teams replace damaged or ruined insulation with fiberglass, which is much more difficult for animals to access. Since urine, feces, and fur can affect your air quality, we will ensure your air is tested for any health concerns. We use only environmentally friendly cleaners and deodorizers to protect you, your family, and your pets during our work.
For Watkinsville Residents
At Georgia P.A.W.S., we consider Watkinsville a vital part of the Athens city-county. We often find our Watkinsville residents have the most issues with bats and flying squirrels. It is illegal to kill these animals, so if you find a bat or flying squirrel infestation, call us right away.
We understand bats are beneficial to the environment as they eradicate bugs and other pests that might destroy your plants or bore into wood in and around your home. With this in mind, we will eradicate bats and flying squirrels without causing them harm so they can continue their work away from your property. To do this, we use bat valves and bat curtains which help seal entry points, as well as specialized flying squirrel traps.
Bat Removal in Athens GA
Georgia P.A.W.S offers wildlife control services in Athens that include a thorough inspection of your home to locate the entry and roosting points of bats. We then seal off all possible entry points, such as exhaust vents, roof vents, gable vents, and the construction gap, to prevent further infestation. Once sealed, we hang a bat valve or bat curtain at the entry point, allowing bats to exit but preventing their re-entry.
