Buckhead pest control FAQ

Is Buckhead a city?

No. Buckhead is a community within the City of Atlanta made up of many neighborhoods. This page covers them together.

Why do large Buckhead homes get roof rats?

Big trees, many rooflines and attic spaces give roof rats access and shelter. See rodents in the attic.

Does tree trimming really reduce roof rats?

Yes. Keeping limbs 6–8 feet back from the roof removes the easiest route to the attic. It works best together with sealing roof returns, soffits and vents.
