What Wildlife Removal Services Are Available in DeKalb County?

DeKalb County mixes historic intown neighborhoods, busy suburbs and big natural areas, and the wildlife problems reflect all three. Every job starts with an inspection, then removal and exclusion.

Squirrels nest in attics across Decatur, Druid Hills and Tucker, where old trees tower over the rooflines.

Raccoons follow Peachtree Creek and the South River into neighborhoods and settle into attics and chimneys.

Bats roost in older homes and church buildings. We exclude them safely, on a schedule built around pup season.

Roof rats are common in DeKalb’s older neighborhoods, along with mice in walls, attics and crawl spaces.

Snakes turn up near Stone Mountain, Arabia Mountain and wooded creek lots, mostly in warm weather.

We track down and remove animals that have died in walls, attics or crawl spaces.

We also provide exclusion services, beaver removal, humane animal removal and help with other wildlife throughout DeKalb County.

Why Is Wildlife So Common in DeKalb County?

DeKalb County has some of the most impressive green space in Metro Atlanta, right next to some of its oldest neighborhoods.

Stone Mountain Park covers thousands of acres on the county’s east side. The Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve protects granite outcrops, forest and wetlands near Lithonia and Stonecrest. Fernbank Forest preserves old-growth woods near Druid Hills, and Peachtree Creek, Nancy Creek, Snapfinger Creek and the South River wind through neighborhoods across the county.

Those creek corridors and parks give raccoons, opossums, squirrels and roof rats a natural highway into nearby homes. Many DeKalb houses date back decades, and older soffits, vents and chimneys give wildlife plenty of ways in.

Mature trees, historic homes and big natural areas keep wildlife removal busy in every part of DeKalb County.

When Do DeKalb County Homes Have the Most Wildlife Trouble?

DeKalb County wildlife stays active all year, but the type of problem changes with the seasons.

  • Spring: Raccoons and squirrels raise young in attics and chimneys, especially in older homes.
  • Summer: Snakes are active near creeks and natural areas, and bats are raising pups in attics.
  • Fall: Squirrels and roof rats look for warm places to spend the winter.
  • Winter: Rodents are at their most persistent, and wildlife already inside tends to stay put.

In older homes, small openings can lead to big problems, so early inspection is worth it.
