Rodents · Atlanta, GA

Rodent control that closes the door behind them

Trapping removes the rodents inside. Exclusion keeps the next ones out. In a tree-covered city full of crawl spaces and attics, you need both.

Call if you notice:

  • Scratching in walls or ceiling at night
  • Droppings in drawers, cabinets or the attic
  • Chewed food packaging or wiring

Three rodents, three behaviors

UGA Extension identifies three rodents that live with people in Georgia. House mice squeeze through gaps about the size of a dime and nest in wall voids and kitchens. Roof rats climb trees, vines and utility lines to reach attics, which is common under Atlanta’s canopy. Norway rats burrow along foundations and into crawl spaces. See mouse vs. rat.

Integrated rodent control

  1. Inspection

    Roofline, soffits, gable and ridge vents, AC line sets, crawl-space vents, garage doors, and droppings or rub marks. Common entry points.

  2. Population reduction

    Snap traps and enclosed devices placed on runways. Tamper-resistant bait stations, used outdoors where appropriate, follow label rules.

  3. Exclusion

    Sealing entry points with durable materials such as metal mesh, flashing, sealant and door sweeps. Rodent exclusion.

  4. Sanitation and habitat

    Trim branches 6–8 feet back from the roof, secure garbage and bird feeders, and reduce clutter.

  5. Monitoring

    Follow-up checks confirm activity has stopped.

What affects rodent-control cost

We don’t publish prices before an inspection. These factors determine the scope of work:

  • Number and type of entry points
  • Roof pitch and access height
  • Attic sanitation or insulation needs
  • Number of trap checks

How it works

  1. Call

    Tell us what you’re seeing, where, and for how long. Photos help.

  2. Inspection

    A technician checks the house, crawl space or basement, attic access and yard, and finds the source, not just the symptoms.

  3. Your plan

    You get the treatment options that fit your home, what each involves, and the factors that set the cost, before any work starts.

  4. Treatment & follow-up

    Targeted treatment, practical fixes you can make, and follow-up visits where the pest needs them.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I hear rats in the attic but never see them?

Roof rats are nocturnal climbers that often travel from trees to the roof. See rodents in the attic.

Are poison baits a good idea inside the house?

Rodents that die in wall voids cause odor problems, and baits carry risks to pets and wildlife. Many professionals rely on trapping and exclusion indoors.

How do I know the rodents are gone?

No new droppings, no fresh gnaw marks, no sounds at night, and no new captures over a couple of weeks after entry points are sealed. Leaving a few traps in the attic or garage helps confirm it.
