Professional Ant Control
Professional Ant Control

Ants can enter through extremely small openings and establish colonies inside walls, kitchens, crawlspaces, and other protected areas. Spraying the ants you see may provide temporary relief, but effective ant control starts by identifying the species, locating their activity, and treating the source of the infestation.Wildlife Patrol provides professional ant control for homes and businesses throughout North Georgia and Upstate South Carolina.

Ant Problems We Treat

We provide treatment for many common regional ants, including:

  • Argentine ants
  • Carpenter ants
  • Odorous house ants
  • Pavement ants
  • Acrobat ants
  • Fire ants
  • Small kitchen and sugar ants
Correct identification matters. Different ant species have different nesting habits, food preferences, and treatment requirements.

Our Ant Control Process

Inspection

We inspect areas where ants are active and look for entry points, moisture problems, nesting sites, trails, and conditions that may be attracting them.

Targeted Treatment


Depending on the infestation, treatment may include professional ant baits, crack-and-crevice applications, exterior perimeter treatments, or direct treatment of accessible nesting areas.

Exterior Protection

Many ant problems begin outside. We focus on common entry areas around foundations, doors, windows, utility penetrations, landscaping, and other places ants may use to reach the structure.

Prevention Recommendations

We identify practical steps that may help reduce future activity, including sealing openings, correcting moisture problems, trimming vegetation, and removing food or water sources.

Carpenter Ant Control

Carpenter ants commonly nest in damp, damaged, or hollow wood. Although they do not eat wood like termites, they can excavate galleries inside structural materials.Large ants indoors, piles of wood-like debris, or activity around rooflines and moisture-damaged areas may indicate a carpenter ant colony nearby. Our service focuses on finding the source of the activity—not merely killing the ants traveling through the home.

Fire Ant Treatment

Fire ants can create painful stinging hazards throughout lawns, playgrounds, and commercial properties. Disturbing a mound can cause the colony to respond aggressively.We offer targeted fire-ant treatments designed to reduce active colonies and protect frequently used outdoor areas.

Why Store-Bought Ant Spray Often Fails

Repellent sprays may kill visible ants without affecting the colony. In some species, improper treatment can cause a colony to divide and spread into additional nesting areas.Professional ant control uses treatment methods selected for the specific ant and the location of its colony.

Ant Control for Homes and Businesses


We provide ant treatments for:
  • Houses and apartments
  • Rental properties
  • Offices and commercial buildings
  • Restaurants and food-service properties
  • Garages and outbuildings
  • Outdoor living areas
One-time treatments and ongoing pest-control options are available depending on the property and severity of the infestation.

Ant Control Near You

Wildlife Patrol serves communities across North Georgia and Upstate South Carolina, including Anderson, Greenville, Easley, Seneca, Clemson, Toccoa, Clarkesville, Clayton, Gainesville, Athens, and surrounding areas.

Frequently Asked Questions


How quickly will the ants disappear?
Some treatments begin reducing activity quickly, while baiting programs may require several days as worker ants carry the material back to the colony. Large or established infestations may require follow-up treatment.

Do I need to leave during treatment?

Usually not. We will explain any preparation or temporary restrictions required for the products and treatment methods selected.
Can you guarantee ants will never return?
Ants are continually active outdoors, so no company can honestly promise that new colonies will never approach a property. Ongoing exterior pest service can provide stronger long-term protection.

Are carpenter ants the same as termites?

No. Termites consume wood, while carpenter ants excavate damaged or softened wood to create nesting galleries. Either problem should be professionally inspected.

Cockroach Extermination


Seeing one cockroach usually means there are more hiding nearby.Cockroaches reproduce quickly, contaminate food-preparation areas, and can remain hidden inside cabinets, appliances, wall voids, and other protected spaces. Store-bought sprays may kill the roaches you see, but they often fail to reach the main infestation.Wildlife Patrol Pest Services provides professional cockroach control throughout Greenville, Anderson, and surrounding Upstate South Carolina communities. We identify the type of cockroach, locate the areas where they are living, and build a treatment plan designed to eliminate the infestation at its source.Call today to schedule a cockroach inspection and treatment.Cockroach Problems We TreatDifferent cockroach species require different treatment strategies. Our cockroach services may address:
  • German cockroaches
  • American cockroaches
  • Smokybrown cockroaches
  • Oriental cockroaches
  • Brown-banded cockroaches
  • Roaches around kitchens and bathrooms
  • Roaches inside apartments and rental properties
  • Cockroaches in restaurants and commercial buildings
  • Roaches entering from crawlspaces, drains, garages, and exterior areas
Correct identification is important. A treatment that works well for large outdoor cockroaches may not be enough for a German cockroach infestation living inside kitchen cabinets and appliances.German Cockroach ExterminationGerman cockroaches are among the most difficult household pests to eliminate. They are small, reproduce rapidly, and commonly hide near food, water, and heat.They are frequently found around:
  • Refrigerators
  • Stoves and dishwashers
  • Kitchen cabinets
  • Sinks and plumbing penetrations
  • Bathroom vanities
  • Water heaters
  • Break rooms
  • Restaurant equipment
  • Apartment kitchens
German cockroach infestations usually require more than a simple perimeter spray. Our treatment approach may include professional bait placements, insect growth regulators, targeted crack-and-crevice applications, monitoring devices, and follow-up service.The goal is not merely to kill visible roaches. We target the hidden population and interrupt the breeding cycle.Large Outdoor CockroachesAmerican, smokybrown, and Oriental cockroaches often originate outdoors, in crawlspaces, around drains, or in areas with excess moisture and organic debris.These larger roaches may enter through:
  • Gaps under doors
  • Plumbing and utility openings
  • Damaged crawlspace vents
  • Roof and soffit gaps
  • Floor drains
  • Garages
  • Firewood storage areas
  • Moisture-damaged areas
  • Cracks around foundations
Treatment may include interior spot treatments, exterior applications, crawlspace evaluation, exclusion recommendations, and moisture-control guidance.Our Cockroach Treatment Process
1. Inspection-We begin by evaluating the areas where cockroaches have been seen. We look for live insects, droppings, egg cases, shed skins, moisture sources, food availability, and likely hiding locations.
2. Species Identification-Identifying the cockroach species helps determine whether the infestation originated inside the building or whether roaches are entering from outside.
3. Targeted Treatment-Depending on the infestation, treatment may include:
  • Professional cockroach baits
  • Insect growth regulators
  • Crack-and-crevice applications
  • Dust treatments in wall voids
  • Targeted liquid applications
  • Monitoring traps
  • Exterior perimeter treatment
  • Crawlspace treatment
  • Exclusion recommendations
4. Follow-Up Service-German cockroach infestations often require follow-up visits. During follow-up service, we inspect activity levels, replace monitoring devices, refresh bait where necessary, and treat remaining problem areas.5. Prevention RecommendationsWe explain the sanitation, moisture, storage, or structural conditions that may be contributing to the infestation.

Why DIY Roach Treatments Often Fail

Cockroaches can hide in extremely small spaces and may avoid areas treated with certain over-the-counter products. Heavy use of repellent sprays can sometimes scatter German cockroaches deeper into cabinets, appliances, and wall voids.Common reasons DIY treatments fail include:
  • Treating only visible roaches
  • Using the wrong product
  • Spraying over bait placements
  • Failing to address egg cases
  • Missing activity behind appliances
  • Ignoring plumbing and moisture problems
  • Failing to complete follow-up treatments
  • Reintroducing roaches through boxes, furniture, or neighboring units
Professional treatment combines inspection, product placement, monitoring, and follow-up care.

Signs of a Cockroach Infestation

Contact a pest professional when you notice:
  • Cockroaches during daylight hours
  • Small roaches around the refrigerator or stove
  • Roach droppings inside cabinets
  • Egg cases near appliances
  • An oily or musty odor
  • Roaches around pet food
  • Activity near sinks or drains
  • Roaches appearing after lights are turned on
  • Repeated sightings after using store-bought sprays
Daytime activity can indicate that the hidden cockroach population has become crowded.Cockroach Control for Apartments and Rental PropertiesCockroach infestations can spread between connected apartments through plumbing lines, wall voids, shared utility spaces, and neighboring units.We provide cockroach treatment for:
  • Apartments
  • Duplexes
  • Rental homes
  • Property managers
  • Landlords
  • Short-term rentals
  • Multifamily properties
Successful treatment may require coordination between residents, property managers, and neighboring units.

Commercial Cockroach Control

Cockroaches can quickly damage a business’s reputation. They can contaminate food-contact areas and create serious concerns for employees, customers, and inspectors.We offer cockroach control for:
  • Restaurants
  • Commercial kitchens
  • Offices
  • Warehouses
  • Retail stores
  • Churches
  • Daycare facilities
  • Break rooms
  • Rental properties
  • Property management companies
Commercial programs can include routine inspections, monitoring, documentation, targeted treatment, and ongoing pest prevention.How to Prepare for Cockroach TreatmentPreparation requirements depend on the size and location of the infestation. We may ask you to:
  • Remove trash and food debris
  • Clean grease from cooking areas
  • Store food in sealed containers
  • Avoid leaving pet food out overnight
  • Empty selected cabinets
  • Repair plumbing leaks
  • Reduce cardboard and clutter
  • Avoid applying additional pesticides
  • Follow all technician instructions
Do not spray over professional bait placements. Household sprays can contaminate bait and make the treatment less effective.

How Long Does Cockroach Treatment Take?

Some improvement may be noticeable within the first several days. However, the total elimination time depends on the species, infestation level, sanitation conditions, building layout, and whether neighboring units are also infested.Light infestations may respond quickly. Established German cockroach infestations often require multiple treatments and continued monitoring.

Is Cockroach Treatment Safe Around Children and Pets?

We use targeted treatment methods and apply products according to their labels. Baits and crack-and-crevice treatments can often be placed in protected areas that are inaccessible to children and pets.Your technician will provide any necessary instructions before and after service.Areas We ServeWildlife Patrol Pest Services provides cockroach control in communities throughout Upstate South Carolina, including:

Mosquito Control
Mosquito Control in North Georgia & Upstate South Carolina

Mosquitoes can quickly make your backyard, patio, or pool area difficult to enjoy. Wildlife Patrol provides professional mosquito control designed to reduce mosquito activity around your home and outdoor living areas.Our treatments target the places mosquitoes commonly rest and breed, helping you enjoy more time outside with fewer bites.

Professional Mosquito Treatments

Mosquitoes frequently hide in shaded vegetation, underneath decks, around shrubs, along fence lines, and near standing water. We inspect your property and treat the areas where mosquitoes are most likely to be active.
Our mosquito-control service may include:
  • Treatment of shrubs, vegetation, and shaded resting areas
  • Treatment around patios, decks, fences, and outdoor gathering areas
  • Inspection for standing water and mosquito breeding conditions
  • Larvicide treatment of appropriate water sources
  • Recommendations for reducing mosquito activity around your property
Recurring Seasonal Mosquito Control

Mosquitoes continually move between neighboring properties, wooded areas, and nearby water sources. For that reason, recurring seasonal treatments provide better control than a single application. Our mosquito-control program is ideal for:
  • Backyards and patios
  • Pool areas
  • Outdoor kitchens
  • Children’s play areas
  • Dog yards and kennels
  • Parties and outdoor events
We return on a regular schedule throughout mosquito season and adjust our service to the conditions around your property.Local Mosquito-Control ProfessionalsWildlife Patrol serves homeowners throughout North Georgia and Upstate South Carolina.

Wasp and Hornet Nest Removal
Wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets can quickly turn your yard, porch, or business entrance into a dangerous area. Wildlife Patrol provides professional wasp and hornet removal throughout North Georgia and Upstate South Carolina. We locate the nest, identify the insect, and apply the appropriate treatment to eliminate the colony safely.Professional Wasp Nest RemovalWasp and hornet nests are commonly found:

  • Around decks, sheds, and playground equipment
  • In shrubs, trees, and utility boxes
  • Inside attics and outbuildings
  • Underground in yellow jacket nests
Attempting to spray or knock down a nest can cause the colony to attack. This is especially dangerous when the nest is elevated, hidden inside the structure, or located near children, pets, customers, or frequently used entrances.Wasps, Hornets, and Yellow Jackets We HandleWe provide treatment and removal for paper wasps, bald-faced hornets, European hornets, yellow jackets, mud daubers, and other stinging insects commonly found across Georgia and South Carolina.When possible, we remove accessible nest material after the colony has been treated.

  • Treatment for exposed and concealed nests
  • Residential and commercial service

Raccoon Removal
Raccoons can damage roofs, tear open soffits, contaminate attics and threaten pets. Wildlife Patrol provides professional raccoon removal and exclusion services throughout North Georgia and Upstate South Carolina.Signs You May Have RaccoonsCommon signs of raccoon activity include:
  • Heavy footsteps or thumping in the attic at night
  • Damaged soffits, roof vents or fascia
  • Torn insulation or flexible ductwork
  • Droppings concentrated in one area
  • Scratching or vocal sounds inside walls
  • Trash, pet food or bird feeders disturbed overnight
  • Pawprints around the roofline, deck or crawlspace
Because raccoons are strong and persistent, simply blocking an opening may trap an animal inside or lead to additional structural damage.

Our Raccoon Removal Process

Inspection We inspect the attic, roofline, crawlspace and exterior of the structure to identify entry points, damage and signs of nesting.
Humane Removal We develop a removal plan based on the structure, season and location of the animals. Special care is necessary when young raccoons may be present.

Exclusion and Repairs After the animals are removed, we secure vulnerable areas using durable wildlife-resistant materials. Repairs may include soffits, fascia, roof returns, vents, crawlspace openings and other entry points.

Cleanup and Restoration Raccoons can leave behind droppings, urine, damaged insulation and strong odors. When needed, we can provide attic cleanup, contaminated insulation removal and restoration recommendations.

Why Raccoons Enter Homes Raccoons commonly enter attics and crawlspaces while searching for shelter or a protected place to raise young. Loose soffits, damaged vents, roof intersections and construction gaps can provide easy access.Food sources around the property can also attract raccoons. These may include unsecured trash, outdoor pet food, bird feeders, fallen fruit and accessible crawlspaces.

Why Choose Wildlife Patrol?
  • Experienced wildlife removal professionals
  • Thorough structural inspections
  • Removal and repair solutions from one company
  • Durable exclusion work
  • Clear recommendations and upfront pricing

Snake Removal
SNAKE REMOVAL IN NORTH GEORGIA & UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA

Finding a snake inside your home, garage, crawlspace, or business can be alarming. Wildlife Patrol provides fast, professional snake removal throughout North Georgia and Upstate South Carolina.

PROFESSIONAL SNAKE REMOVAL

We remove snakes from homes, businesses, garages, basements, crawlspaces, attics, porches, sheds, yards, and landscaping.Do not attempt to handle a snake unless you are certain it is harmless. Keep people and pets away, close off the area if possible, and call Wildlife Patrol.

WHY ARE SNAKES AROUND YOUR PROPERTY?

Snakes are often attracted by mice, rats, dense vegetation, woodpiles, debris, open crawlspace vents, and gaps beneath doors or siding.Removing the snake solves the immediate problem. Correcting entry points and reducing rodent activity can help prevent future encounters.

SNAKE PREVENTION AND EXCLUSION

Professional Squirrel Removal
Scratching, running, or chewing sounds in your attic may mean squirrels have moved into your home. Wildlife Patrol provides professional squirrel removal and exclusion services throughout North Georgia and Upstate South Carolina.Squirrels commonly enter homes through damaged soffits, roof returns, fascia gaps, vents, and openings along the roofline. Once inside, they can damage insulation, chew electrical wiring, create unpleasant odors, and enlarge entry points that allow other wildlife into the structure.

Signs You May Have Squirrels

Common signs of a squirrel problem include:
  • Scratching or scampering sounds during the morning or daytime
  • Noises coming from the attic, ceiling, or walls
  • Chewed fascia, vents, or roof materials
  • Nesting material or damaged insulation
  • Droppings in the attic
  • Squirrels repeatedly entering or leaving the roofline
Because squirrels are most active during daylight hours, daytime attic noises are often a strong indication of squirrel activity.

Our Squirrel Removal Process

Our goal is to remove the squirrels and prevent them from returning. Depending on the structure and situation, our squirrel-control service may include:
  • Inspection of the attic, roofline, and exterior
  • Identification of active and potential entry points
  • Humane trapping or one-way exclusion
  • Sealing and reinforcing vulnerable openings
  • Repairs to soffits, fascia, vents, roof returns, and other entry areas
  • Removal of accessible nesting material
  • Attic cleanup and insulation services when needed
Simply trapping a squirrel does not solve the underlying problem. If the entry points remain open, another squirrel—or a different animal—can move into the same space.

Squirrel Exclusion and Entry-Point Repairs

Wildlife Patrol specializes in durable wildlife-exclusion repairs. We use wildlife-resistant materials selected to blend with the structure whenever practical. Our technicians can address common squirrel entry points around roof intersections, soffits, vents, fascia boards, drip edges, and construction gaps.We do not rely on spray foam as a permanent wildlife repair. Effective squirrel prevention requires strong materials that resist chewing and weather exposure.

Baby Squirrels in the Attic

During nesting season, an attic may contain a mother squirrel and dependent young. Sealing an entry without checking for babies can leave animals trapped inside and create additional damage or odor problems. We evaluate the situation and select an appropriate removal method based on the season, entry location, and activity present.

Local Squirrel Control You Can Trust

We serve homeowners and businesses across Northeast Georgia, North Georgia, and Upstate South Carolina, including Habersham, Banks, Stephens, Rabun, White, Hall, Jackson, Barrow, Franklin, Hart, Anderson, Oconee, Pickens, and surrounding areas.If you hear scratching in the attic or have seen squirrels entering your roofline, act before the damage becomes more extensive.

We will identify how the squirrels are getting inside, explain the available removal and repair options, and provide a clear estimate for solving the problem.Call today for squirrel removal in North Georgia and Upstate South Carolina.
Professional Armadillo Removal
Armadillo Removal and Exclusion

Armadillos can tear up a well-maintained lawn surprisingly fast. While searching for insects and other food, they dig numerous small holes throughout turf, flower beds, gardens, and landscaped areas. They may also establish larger burrows beneath porches, decks, sheds, crawlspaces, concrete slabs, and foundations.Wildlife Patrol provides professional armadillo removal, burrow management, and exclusion services throughout North Georgia and Upstate South Carolina.

Signs of Armadillo Activity

Common signs of an armadillo problem include:

  • Cone-shaped holes scattered across the lawn
  • Torn or overturned sod
  • Damage around flower beds and gardens
  • Burrows beneath decks, porches, sheds, or foundations
  • Tracks or disturbed soil along fences and buildings
  • Armadillos seen around the property at night
  • Repeated digging in the same areas
Armadillos are primarily active after dark, so property owners often discover the damage without seeing the animal responsible.

Professional Armadillo Removal

Successful armadillo control begins by identifying where the animal is traveling, feeding, and sheltering. We inspect the property for active burrows, travel routes, entry points, and recent digging.Depending on the property and the location of the activity, our removal plan may include:

  • Strategic trapping
  • Identification of active burrows
  • Monitoring of common travel routes
  • Removal of armadillos from problem areas
  • Recommendations for reducing future activity
Armadillos tend to follow edges, fences, buildings, and other natural barriers. Proper trap placement and an understanding of these travel patterns are critical to effective removal.

Armadillo Exclusion and Burrow Prevention

Removing the animal may solve the immediate problem, but exclusion provides better long-term protection when armadillos are burrowing beneath a structure.Wildlife Patrol can inspect and protect vulnerable areas such as:

  • Crawlspace foundations
  • Porches and decks
  • Sheds and outbuildings
  • Concrete slabs
  • Mobile homes
  • HVAC pads
  • Fences and gates
  • Openings beneath steps and additions
Depending on the structure, exclusion may involve installing heavy-duty wildlife barrier material along the affected area and extending it below ground to discourage future digging.Active burrows should not simply be sealed without first determining whether an animal is still inside. We evaluate the site before closing or reinforcing an opening.

Repairing Armadillo Damage

Once removal and exclusion are complete, abandoned burrows may need to be filled and stabilized. The exact repair depends on the burrow’s size, location, and proximity to the structure.Our work may include:

  • Closing abandoned burrow entrances
  • Installing buried wildlife barriers
  • Reinforcing vulnerable structural edges
  • Repairing access points beneath decks or sheds
  • Recommending soil or landscape restoration
Extensive erosion, settlement, or structural damage may require additional work from a landscaping, concrete, or foundation professional.

How to Help Prevent Armadillos

No property can be made completely unattractive to roaming wildlife, but several steps can reduce the likelihood of repeated armadillo activity:

  • Repair gaps beneath fences and gates
  • Block access beneath decks, sheds, and porches
  • Remove brush and heavy ground cover near structures
  • Avoid leaving pet food outdoors overnight
  • Address recurring lawn-insect problems when appropriate
  • Reinforce areas where armadillos have previously dug
  • Install buried exclusion barriers around vulnerable structures
Treating the lawn alone does not guarantee that armadillos will leave. Exclusion and targeted removal are often necessary when an animal has established a burrow.

Why Choose Wildlife Patrol?

Wildlife Patrol focuses on more than catching an animal. We look at how the armadillo is using the property and what can be done to reduce the chance of the problem returning.Our armadillo services are built around three goals:Secure. Identify burrows, travel routes, and vulnerable areas.Protect. Remove the animal and install appropriate exclusion where needed.Restore. Close abandoned burrows and help return the affected area to a safer condition.

Schedule Armadillo Removal

If an armadillo is damaging your lawn or burrowing beneath a structure, waiting may allow the damage to spread. Wildlife Patrol provides practical removal and exclusion solutions for homes, businesses, farms, and managed properties.
Contact Wildlife Patrol today to schedule an armadillo inspection in North Georgia or Upstate South Carolina.

Frequently Asked Questions


Why are armadillos digging holes in my lawn?
Armadillos dig while searching for insects, grubs, worms, and other food in the soil. Their feeding holes are usually smaller than the burrows they use for shelter.

Will an armadillo leave on its own?
A roaming armadillo may move through temporarily, but one that has established a productive feeding area or sheltering burrow may continue returning.

Can you keep armadillos from digging beneath my house?When there is a specific vulnerable opening or structural edge, a properly installed underground wildlife barrier can help prevent burrowing. The animal should be removed or confirmed absent before an active opening is permanently sealed.

Should I fill an armadillo burrow immediately?

Not until you know the burrow is inactive. Filling an occupied burrow could trap an animal beneath the structure or cause it to create another opening.

Do mothballs, repellents, or home remedies work?
Repellents and home remedies are generally unreliable as permanent solutions. Physical exclusion and properly planned removal provide more dependable control.

Do armadillos carry diseases?
Like other wild animals, armadillos should not be handled directly. Keep people and pets away and contact a wildlife professional for assistance.

  4. Follow-up and prevention: We confirm the removal plan is working and explain any additional conditions that could attract wildlife.
The result is a practical plan built around your property—not a temporary patch over the first hole we see.Wildlife We Remove in Athens, Georgia-

Squirrel Removal

Squirrels commonly enter attics through roof returns, fascia gaps, damaged soffits, vents and openings along the roofline. Homeowners often hear running, rolling or chewing sounds during the morning and daytime hours.Our Athens squirrel-removal service focuses on removing the animals and locating the openings that allowed them inside. When appropriate, we can also complete exclusion repairs to protect vulnerable areas of your home.

Bat Removal and Exclusion

Bats can enter through small gaps along roof edges, flashing, vents, chimneys and siding transitions. You may notice bats leaving near dusk, hear light movement in a wall or attic, or find droppings beneath a recurring entry point.Bat work must be performed with the species, season and structure in mind. Wildlife Patrol uses appropriate exclusion methods and evaluates the surrounding roofline for additional gaps that could allow the colony to move elsewhere in the building.If a bat is found inside an occupied room, keep people and pets away from it. Contact the appropriate public-health or animal-control authority if a person or pet may have been exposed.

Raccoon Removal

Raccoons are strong enough to enlarge weak roof and soffit areas. Once inside an attic or crawlspace, they can damage insulation, ductwork and structural materials.Raccoon movement typically sounds heavier than squirrel activity and is often most noticeable at night. We inspect for the active entry point, determine whether young may be present and create a removal and repair plan appropriate to the situation.

Rat and Mouse Control

Rats and mice can enter through foundation openings, utility penetrations, crawlspace vents, roof gaps and garage-door edges.Trapping may reduce the current activity, but long-term rodent control usually depends on finding and closing the routes they are using. Our rodent-control service can combine population reduction with structural exclusion, vent protection and targeted gap sealing.

Snake Removal

Finding a snake in a basement, crawlspace, garage or living area can become an immediate concern.Wildlife Patrol provides snake removal in Athens and can inspect for conditions that make the property attractive to snakes, including rodent activity, overgrown vegetation and accessible structural gaps.

Other Nuisance Wildlife

We also evaluate problems involving opossums, armadillos, birds and other nuisance wildlife. Available removal methods depend on the species, its location and applicable wildlife regulations.Signs You May Need Wildlife RemovalContact a wildlife professional if you notice:

  • Scratching, chewing, fluttering or running in the attic or walls
  • Heavy footsteps above the ceiling at night
  • Droppings or urine staining in an attic, garage or crawlspace
  • Torn soffits, damaged vents or gaps along the roofline
  • Nesting material or disturbed insulation
  • Gnaw marks on wood, wiring or stored materials
  • A strong or unexplained odor inside the building
  • Animals repeatedly entering or leaving the same opening
  • Pets focusing on one wall, ceiling or vent
Different animals keep different schedules. Daytime attic noise may suggest squirrels, while heavier nighttime movement can point toward raccoons or rodents. An inspection is the best way to identify the animal and avoid paying for the wrong solution.Wildlife Exclusion and Animal-ProofingWildlife exclusion is the repair work used to block animals from entering a structure. Depending on what we find, an Athens wildlife-exclusion project may address:

  • Foundation and crawlspace vents
  • Soffit and fascia gaps
  • Roof returns and construction gaps
  • Ridge and roof vents
  • Gable vents
  • Drip-edge gaps
  • Chimney and flashing transitions
  • Utility penetrations
  • Other animal entry points
Full-structure wildlife exclusions include a one-year renewable warranty. Limited or spot repairs may carry different written warranty terms based on the scope.Your proposal will clearly state what work is included, what is excluded and which areas are covered.Local Wildlife Removal in Athens-Clarke CountyAthens combines mature tree cover, established neighborhoods, wooded corridors and steady development.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does wildlife removal cost in Athens, GA?

The cost depends on the animal, where it is located, the removal method and the amount of exclusion work required. A single-animal removal is different from an attic infestation with several roofline entry points. After inspecting the property, we provide a written scope and price.

Do you repair the hole after removing the animal?

Yes. Wildlife Patrol provides exclusion and repair options for accessible entry points. Depending on the structure, this may include vent protection, metal flashing, gap sealing or other targeted repairs. The exact work will be listed in your proposal.

What is making noise in my attic?

The timing and type of noise can provide clues. Squirrels are commonly active during daylight hours. Rats and raccoons are more often heard at night. Bats may create lighter scratching or fluttering near dusk and dawn. An inspection is needed to identify the animal confidently.

Can you remove bats from an Athens home?


Yes. Bat removal is generally performed through exclusion rather than routine trapping. The timing and method must account for seasonal and legal considerations, so the property should be evaluated before openings are sealed.

Is wildlife exclusion guaranteed?

Wildlife Patrol offers a one-year renewable warranty on qualifying full-structure wildlife exclusions. Spot repairs and limited exclusions may have different coverage. Warranty terms and excluded areas are stated in writing before work begins.
