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.
Need a rodent exterminator in Atlanta? Good rat and mouse control combines trapping inside the house with sealing the gaps rodents use to get in.
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
Inspection
Roofline, soffits, gable and ridge vents, AC line sets, crawl-space vents, garage doors, and droppings or rub marks. Common entry points.
Population reduction
Snap traps and enclosed devices placed on runways. Tamper-resistant bait stations, used outdoors where appropriate, follow label rules.
Exclusion
Sealing entry points with durable materials such as metal mesh, flashing, sealant and door sweeps. Rodent exclusion.
Sanitation and habitat
Trim branches 6–8 feet back from the roof, secure garbage and bird feeders, and reduce clutter.
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

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.
