Expert rodent removal for Atlanta households and businesses

Rodents, such as rats and mice, are perhaps the most pervasive pests around. Agile and adaptable, they can live just about anywhere. Rodents can be found in fields, trees, granaries, high rises, subway tunnels, city sewers, and ocean-going ships—as well as in roofs, attics, and basements.

Your Atlanta rodent control specialists

For many people, rodent removal in Atlanta is an embarrassing business. It’s a common misconception that rats and mice will only infiltrate a dirty or unkempt home or business. The truth is, these critters will nest anywhere they can get in—and their entry abilities surpass the best thieves in the world.

Did you know that rats and mice can:

1. Scale and run along electrical wires, ropes, cables, vines, shrubs, and trees in order to gain entry to a building?
2. Climb just about any rough vertical surface, including wood, brick, concrete, and weathered sheet metal?
3. Crawl horizontally along pipes, wires, conveyors, and conduits?
4. Gnaw through a variety of tough materials, including wood, rubber, vinyl, concrete, and even lead and aluminum sheeting?

Successful long-term Atlanta rodent control is not easy. At Critter Control of Atlanta, we have the knowledge and expertise to design a custom rodent control program for your residential home or business, keeping critters from damaging your structure and contaminating your food supply.

What are the different types of rodent control?

Some methods of control and rodent removal in Atlanta include:

1. Traps and poisons
2. Exclusion and rodent proofing
3. Habitat modification

Critter Control of Atlanta uses all of these methods, often in combination, for rat removal in Atlanta homes and businesses. We’ll conduct a comprehensive inspection of your property to locate entry points, food sources, and damage.

Are traps and poisons safe?

Rodenticides are pesticides that kill rodents. There are generally three types used for rat removal in Atlanta: food bait, water bait, and tracking powder. Food bait and water bait are most commonly used for household Atlanta rodent control, since tracking powder is potentially more hazardous. Due to its high concentration, tracking powder must be used with extreme care. The licensed technicians of Critter Control of Atlanta are well-versed in the proper, professional use of rodenticides for rat removal in Atlanta.

Another effective method for rodent control is trapping. Highly effective snap traps are often used for high rodent populations, or when rodenticides are too risky.

Exclusion and rodent proofing

Finally, the experts at Critter Control of Atlanta will implement an exclusion plan that prevents rodents from entering your home or business, including habitat modification. We also offer damage repair services.
