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

  • Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
  • Fully Georgia and Gilmer 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

  • Pro X Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Services is a full-service Ellijay wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Ellijay pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Pro X Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Services 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.

    Ellijay 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 Ellijay raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Pro X Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Services. 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 Ellijay 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 Ellijay 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 Ellijay 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 Ellijay pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Ellijay 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 Ellijay trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Ellijay 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. Pro X Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Services does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by Pro X Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Services. 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. Pro X Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Services also provides dead animal removal in Ellijay. 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 Ellijay 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 Ellijay. And remember, we are a private business, not Gilmer County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (706) 635-2166. Gilmer County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Ellijay Wildlife Tip #1:
    How Do Snake Smell Their Environment?

    Snakes just like every other normal animal have nostril to breathe, but the only thing different is that their nostril is not for smelling. Snakes usually smell with their tongues instead of their nostril like other animals. Snakes always stick out the tongue while moving around in order to smell the surrounding environment. The sense of smell is of great important to snakes as they use not just to know the smell of the surrounding for also for navigation. In fact, snakes make use of the sense of smell to cover up for the inability of most species to see perfectly well.

    Snakes pick different kinds of odor with the tongue

    The odors in different places is what usually give snake accurate information on what to do, how to move and the action to take at any point in time. The nostril only serves the purpose of breathing and does not in any way help the animal to smell. That is the reason why snakes are always sticking out the tongue while moving around a particular environments. When the snake stick out the tongue, it will return the tongue into the mouth for tasting of the odor colored on the tongue.

    Snakes find mate through the sense of smell

    The female snakes usually release pheromones when they are ready for mate and the male snake will only find out the presence of the female through the sense of smell. The male will stick out their tongue to collect the odor around. After that they will stick the tongue back to rub it on the sensory organ, which will send the odor into the brain for interpretation and action.

    Snake taste the environment for danger using sense of smell

    When there is danger on any environment, snakes will definitely know about it through their accurate sense of smell which is on their tongue. They will know when their predator is around when the smell the environment and will try to escape from the environment as quickly as possible. That will help them to avoid getting killed by their predators.

    Snakes also use sense of smell for navigation and vision

    Most snake species are known to have bad eye vision and do not see very well during the day and night. So, they usually rely on their tongue for navigation and direction of the right side to follow. In fact, sense of smell is almost everything when it comes to snake survival.

    Ellijay Wildlife Tip #2:


    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.
