If you have a problem with wildlife in your Acworth home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Georgia wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Georgia and Acworth, and I recommend the following:

Critter Control
Cell Phone: 470-523-9980

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Cobb County Animal Services: 770-499-4136

Critter Control specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Georgia also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Critter Control is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the property. Call 470-523-9980 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2020.

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Georgia and Cobb County licensed and insured
• Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
• Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste



Critter Control is a full-service Acworth wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Acworth pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Critter Control performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

Acworth wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Georgia to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Georgia law. We offer Acworth raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Critter Control. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Acworth squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Acworth exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Acworth rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Georgia is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Acworth pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Acworth bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Acworth trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Acworth wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Critter Control does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Critter Control. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Critter Control also provides dead animal removal in Acworth. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Acworth snake removal - most of the snakes in Georgia are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Acworth. And remember, we are a private business, not Cobb County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 770-499-4136. Cobb County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Acworth Wildlife Tip #1:
What To Do About Pigeons In The Chimney

Having pigeon in the chimney is not dangerous but deadly. Once these creatures start residing in your chimney, they bring huge health concern to you and your family. And in case if it is winter season and you are planning to ignite a fire, these birds may also die terribly inside. Hence, it is important to look for immediate solutions to get rid of these creatures as soon as possible.

Experts say that in the winter season when the heat becomes the essential need for the families living inside; it is essential to call professionals to clean the chimney to avoid any trapped pest. The smoke and high temperature caused by fire can cause danger to the life of the bird. Most homeowners prefer to ask why pigeons rest in the chimney? Well! They find this space safe from predator attack and can also enjoy safety from natural elements as well. Although, they can live safely inside chimneys so long when homeowners do not need to burn fire; but once the winter season comes, these birds become big trouble. Moreover, these creatures cause a huge impact on the health of the people living around. They carry harmful disease viruses that can get spread to the people living in the premises.

If a pigeon is nesting in your chimney, you can identify its presence with ease by observing loud noises along with flapping wings in the chimney. Now, you must be curious to know about the method to remove a stuck pigeon from the chimney. It can be done by opening the damper, and one window while closing off the rooms in your house. Wait for some time so that the pigeon can find its way out. However, in case if it does not come out, you may need professional assistance to get rid of these pests.

Prevention is always better than cure; hence, professionals advise using some preventive procedures to avoid pigeon nests in the chimneys. The essential thing that you can do is use a quality chimney cap that can block birds and animals out of the chimney. Pigeons often find their ways to the chimneys of older homes as the caps in these structures are often broken. Pigeons do not need large openings to get inside; they can easily enter through small holes, and once the start residing inside, they can soon start developing a large group in the chimney. You can also buy chimney caps with a mesh screen to deal with pigeon problems.

Many times, homeowners forget to check whether their chimney cap is proper or damaged. If it is made up of metal, it clearly doesn't mean that it will not break. Rust can damage this material with time and then you need to replace it with a new one to protect your chimney area from pigeon attacks. However, if pigeons have already entered your premises, it is better to look for professional assistance to deal with the issue.

Georgia Wildlife Information:

Georgia State bird: Brown thrasher
State mammal: Right whale
State reptile: Gopher tortoise
State amphibian: American green tree frog
State fish: Largemouth bass
State insect: European honeybee

There are many delightful things about Georgia. The landscape is thick with vegetation, primarily due to the significant amount of precipitation annually and the hot temperatures. Even in the northern mountains, the days are long and hot, often interrupted by brief spats of rain. Forest and field thrive here, and Georgia is also home to one of the places in the country teeming with wildlife: Okefenokee Swamp. The swamp, which consists of 438,000 acres of marshland, is home to over 200 species of birds, 50 mammal species, 64 reptile species, 39 fish species, and 37 species of amphibian. Of those animals, the largest are the alligators and the black bears. These predators have no trouble locating food within the park's boundaries. Smaller animals, like raccoons, feed off of the eggs laid by marsh birds and reptiles alike. Not surprisingly, dangerous animals, like the cottonmouth snake, also make the swamp home.

Though filled with animals, the swamp makes up only a small part of Georgia. The rest of the state is just as populated with critters, and because it is also densely populated with people, clashes between the species are inevitable.

Alligators are not confined to Okefenokee Swamp. These large reptiles have no fear of humans, and they make their homes in any waterway where food is present. People living near rivers and streams must always be on the lookout for the dangerous alligator; the animal is almost invisible when underwater.

Even common pest animals fall prey to alligators. Raccoons, which are frequent invaders of homes, can get too close to the water's edge and be snatched up as a meal. This is one reason why it is important to keep pest animals like armadillos, raccoons, rats, squirrels, and skunks off of your property. Sometimes they will lure in larger, more fearsome creatures.

Rats and other scavengers are common in Georgia. The heat amplifies the odors of discarded food, and it doesn't take long in the summer sun for a rat, opossum, or raccoon to wander into the yard looking for the compost pile or the open garbage bin. Pet food is another aromatic lure for these small creatures. The nights in Georgia are not cool enough to temper a smell, and many pests wait until after dark to strike.

You can always call Critter Control, any time of day, at 470-523-9980, for a price quote for Acworth wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Acworth, GA.
