Wildlife Removal
Green, humane animal removal — and warrantied exclusion work that keeps wildlife out for years, not weeks. Licensed in Nuisance Wildlife Control.

Wildlife Removal That Keeps Animals Out for Good
Scratching in the attic, droppings in the garage, a raccoon slipping under the deck — wildlife problems rarely fix themselves. Forsyth Exterminating has handled North Georgia’s nuisance animals for more than 45 years. We don’t just trap and leave. We remove the animals humanely, seal the openings they used to get in, and clean up the mess they leave behind, so the problem is solved rather than postponed until the next one moves in.
Every job starts with a free on-site assessment. Whether it’s a single squirrel in the soffit or a full attic full of bats or rats, our specialists — licensed in Nuisance Wildlife Control — build a plan around your home and back their exclusion work with a written warranty, renewable each year.

Signs Wildlife Has Moved In
Animals are easiest — and least expensive — to remove before they nest and breed inside your home. The most common tip-off is sound: scratching, scurrying, or thumping overhead, usually loudest at dawn and dusk when nocturnal animals like raccoons, rats, and flying squirrels are on the move. Grey squirrels are the exception, busiest during daylight hours.
Beyond noise, watch for droppings in the attic or garage, chewed wiring and insulation, greasy rub marks around openings, torn soffits or roof vents, and a persistent musky or ammonia-like smell. Catch it early and a job that could have been one visit stays that way. If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth a quick call.
Common Warning Signs
- Scratching or scurrying in the attic, walls, or chimney
- Droppings in the attic, garage, or crawl space
- Chewed wiring, wood, or insulation
- Torn soffits, ridge vents, or fascia boards
- Foul, musky, or ammonia-like odors
- Nests, or animals seen entering the roofline at dusk
Our Wildlife Removal Process
Free inspection
We identify the animal, find every entry point, and assess the damage — then put the plan and price in writing.
Humane removal
We trap and remove the animals inside using safe, targeted methods — no poisons in your living space.
Seal & exclude
We close every opening with galvanized barriers animals can’t chew through, so nothing gets back in.
Sanitize & restore
We clean contamination, deodorize, and can replace ruined insulation through our home-services team.
Animal Exclusion: Solve It at the Source
Trapping alone treats the symptom — as long as entry points stay open, new animals move in. Our exclusion service is the long-term solution: trained specialists inspect the entire property, from roofline construction gaps and roof-to-soffit intersections down to plumbing penetrations, locating every opening. Rodents can enter through a hole the size of a nickel, so every inch matters.
We seal entry points with galvanized metal barriers animals can’t gnaw through, trap out anything remaining inside, then sanitize and clean up contamination. Follow-up visits verify the structure is clear — and the completed work is backed by our warranty, renewable annually.

Wildlife Removal FAQs
Do you offer non-chemical, humane solutions for wildlife?
Yes. For 45+ years we've provided professional trapping plus full wildlife and rodent exclusion — sealing every entry point with galvanized metal barriers, trapping out animals inside, and sanitizing affected areas. Completed exclusions carry a warranty renewable annually.
What is animal exclusion?
Instead of endlessly trapping, exclusion solves the problem at its source: our specialists inspect the entire structure — roofline gaps, soffit intersections, plumbing penetrations (rodents fit through a hole the size of a nickel) — and seal every entry point for good.
Do you clean up after the animals are removed?
Yes. Because wildlife leaves droppings, contamination, and bacteria behind, we provide sanitation and cleanup, and can replace contaminated attic insulation through our home services team.
How much does wildlife removal cost?
Every situation is different, so we start with a free on-site assessment and give you a written estimate before any work begins. The price depends on the animal, how many there are, how they’re getting in, and any repairs involved. There’s no charge to have us come look and tell you exactly where you stand.
How soon can you come out?
Same-day response is usually available for active problems. Call (678) 341-4945 and we’ll get you on the schedule quickly — the sooner we act, the less damage and nesting there is to undo.
Are your methods safe for children and pets?
Yes. We rely on humane trapping and physical exclusion rather than poisons in your living areas. Any materials we do use are applied by licensed technicians and placed where children and pets can’t reach them.
Do you repair the damage and replace ruined insulation?
Yes. Beyond sealing entry points, our home-services team can replace contaminated or torn-out attic insulation and address the damage animals leave behind — so your home is restored, not just cleared out.
Do you handle snakes and dead animals too?
We do. See our snake removal and dead animal removal pages, or just call and describe what you’re dealing with and we’ll point you the right way.
Hearing something upstairs?
Free assessments. Same-day response usually available.
