Mice, rats, squirrels, and raccoons don't just cause property damage — they create fire hazards, contaminate living spaces, and carry disease. Our licensed Macon technicians remove the animals and seal every entry point so they can't come back.
We'll identify the animal, entry points, and extent of the problem — no charge.

Most homeowners who try to address a rodent or wildlife problem on their own make the same mistake: they focus on removing the animals that are already inside without addressing why they got in. A trap that catches a mouse solves nothing if the same gap in your foundation, roofline, or HVAC penetration that let the first one in is still open.
Our approach is different. We start with a thorough inspection of your entire home — exterior and interior — to identify every entry point animals are using or could use. Then we remove the animals through trapping or exclusion, and seal every gap, crack, and opening with professional-grade materials that rodents and wildlife cannot chew through or push aside.
A mouse can squeeze through a gap the size of a dime. A rat needs only a quarter-sized opening. Most homes have dozens of entry points that aren't visible without a trained inspection — gaps around pipes, weep holes, soffit vents, and foundation cracks are among the most common.
For wildlife like squirrels, raccoons, and opossums, we use live trapping and one-way exclusion devices that allow animals to leave but not re-enter — a humane and effective approach that complies with Georgia wildlife regulations. Following removal, we assess the affected areas for contamination and can provide attic sanitization and insulation restoration where needed.

The most common home-invading rodent in Macon. A single female can produce 5–10 litters per year. Mice contaminate food, gnaw on wiring, and leave droppings throughout walls and cabinets. They're most active at night and are often detected by sound before sight.
Norway rats and roof rats are both found in Macon. Roof rats are agile climbers that access homes through rooflines, vents, and utility lines. Norway rats burrow at ground level near foundations. Both species carry disease, contaminate food, and cause serious structural damage.
Gray squirrels are extremely common in Macon's tree-lined neighborhoods. They enter attics through gaps in soffits, fascia boards, and roof intersections — then build nests, gnaw on wiring and HVAC ducts, and cause significant damage. A squirrel in the attic is one of the most urgent wildlife situations for homeowners.
Raccoons are strong, intelligent, and highly adaptable. They tear through roof vents, soffits, and decking to access attics for denning — especially females preparing to give birth in spring. Raccoon damage can be extensive, and they are one of the primary carriers of rabies in Georgia.
Virginia opossums are the only marsupial native to North America and are common throughout Middle Georgia. They den under decks, porches, and crawl spaces, and can enter homes through damaged foundation vents or open garage areas. While generally non-aggressive, they can carry fleas and contaminate spaces with droppings.
Several bat species roost in attics and wall voids in Georgia. Bat removal is regulated by state law and must be handled by licensed professionals. We use exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but not re-enter — bat colonies cannot be removed during maternity season (May–August) when young are present.
Many homeowners — and unfortunately some pest control companies — stop at trapping. But trapping alone is a never-ending cycle. As long as the entry points remain open, new animals will move in to replace the ones removed. Professional exclusion breaks that cycle permanently.
Exclusion means physically sealing every entry point with materials that animals cannot chew through, push aside, or squeeze past. We use heavy-gauge steel mesh, hardware cloth, commercial-grade sealants, and metal flashing depending on the location and the animal in question.
Primary entry for squirrels and roof rats — gaps where rooflines meet fascia boards or soffit panels
Plastic or aluminum vents are easily chewed through by squirrels and pushed aside by raccoons
Gaps around plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and gas lines where they enter the foundation or walls
Mice use the smallest gaps — weep holes in brick veneer are a common unrecognized entry
Damaged or missing vent screens provide easy access for mice, rats, and opossums
Worn door sweeps and gaps under garage doors are among the easiest — and most overlooked — entry points
From your first call to a sealed, animal-free home — here's our complete process.
We inspect your entire property — attic, crawl space, exterior, garage, and all potential entry points. We identify the species, the entry points in use, the extent of activity, and any contamination or damage present.
You receive a clear written quote covering trapping or exclusion methods, entry point sealing locations, and any recommended sanitization. We explain every item before any work begins — no surprises.
For rodents, we set strategically placed traps and return to service and remove caught animals. For wildlife, we install one-way exclusion devices that allow animals to leave but not re-enter — a humane approach fully compliant with Georgia regulations.
Once animals are removed and confirmed clear, we seal every identified entry point with professional-grade materials. We do not leave open gaps or stop at partial exclusion — the goal is a fully sealed home.
If attic or crawl space contamination is present — droppings, urine, nesting material, or compromised insulation — we can decontaminate and restore the affected areas as a separate service following exclusion.
Rodents gnaw constantly to keep their teeth trimmed — including on electrical wiring. Gnawed wiring is a leading cause of unexplained house fires. This risk increases the longer an infestation is present.
Rodents carry hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis. Their droppings, urine, and nesting material contaminate attic insulation and any food or surface they contact. Raccoons carry rabies and raccoon roundworm.
Rodents and wildlife damage HVAC ducts, destroy insulation, chew through vapor barriers, and weaken structural materials. Attic damage from a single squirrel or raccoon family can cost thousands to repair.
Don't wait until damage is visible. These are the early indicators that warrant a professional inspection.
Noises in walls, ceilings, or attic — especially at night for rodents, or early morning for squirrels — are a primary indicator of activity. The direction and time of day can help identify the species.
Mouse droppings are roughly the size of a grain of rice; rat droppings are larger and capsule-shaped. Fresh droppings are dark and moist; older ones are gray and crumbly. Location helps track pathways.
Chewed cardboard boxes, gnawed wood trim, or bite marks on wiring insulation are all signs of active rodent activity. Larger gnaw marks may indicate squirrels or rats rather than mice.
Shredded insulation, paper, fabric, or plant material gathered into a nest is a clear sign of active habitation. Nests are typically located in sheltered corners of attics, crawl spaces, or wall voids.
Rodents follow the same paths repeatedly. Over time, the oils in their fur leave dark smear marks along walls, baseboards, and pipe openings — indicating established travel routes.
Cats and dogs often detect rodents or wildlife before their owners do. A pet fixating on a wall, scratching at a baseboard, or staring at the ceiling can be an early warning sign worth investigating.
Removing the animals is only half the job when an attic or crawl space has been heavily contaminated. Rodent and wildlife droppings, urine saturation, nesting material, and damaged insulation create serious health and structural concerns that require professional decontamination.
Our attic sanitization service removes all contaminated material, treats surfaces with hospital-grade antimicrobial agents, and restores insulation to proper depth and coverage — leaving the space clean, safe, and properly insulated.
Feedback from homeowners across Macon and Middle Georgia.
"We'd been dealing with mice for months — set traps ourselves, caught a few, but they kept coming back. These guys came out, found three entry points I never would have spotted, sealed everything, and we haven't had a mouse since. Wish we'd called sooner instead of wasting time with hardware store traps."
"Squirrels had gotten into the attic and done a number on the insulation. The technician found the entry point in the soffit, excluded the squirrels over about a week, sealed the opening, and then walked me through the attic damage. Straightforward, professional, and they did what they said they would."
"A raccoon had torn open a roof vent and gotten into the attic. I was worried about the mess and potential damage. They removed the raccoon humanely, sealed the opening with steel hardware cloth, and the attic cleanup they did afterward was thorough. Very happy with the whole job."
Answers to the questions we hear most often before scheduling an inspection.
Common signs include droppings along baseboards or in cabinets, gnaw marks on food packaging or structural materials, scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings at night, nesting material in attics, and grease marks along frequently traveled paths. If you're hearing sounds but unsure of the source, a professional inspection is the quickest way to confirm what you're dealing with.
Traps remove individual rodents but leave every entry point open. As long as gaps exist, new rodents will continue to enter to replace the ones caught. Professional exclusion — finding and permanently sealing all entry points — is the only long-term solution. Most homes have more entry points than homeowners realize, many of them hidden from plain sight.
Yes. For wildlife like squirrels, raccoons, and opossums, we use live trapping and one-way exclusion devices that allow animals to exit but not re-enter. We comply fully with Georgia wildlife regulations, including seasonal restrictions on bat exclusion. We do not use lethal methods for wildlife where humane alternatives are available and effective.
Yes — this is one of the most serious risks. Rodents gnaw constantly to control their continuously growing teeth, and electrical wiring is a common target. Gnawed wiring can cause short circuits and is a recognized cause of house fires. The longer an infestation is present without treatment, the greater the fire risk. If you have or suspect rodents, prompt action is important.
Yes. We offer attic sanitization and insulation restoration as a separate service following removal and exclusion. This includes removing contaminated insulation, antimicrobial treatment of affected surfaces, and installation of fresh insulation. We can assess the extent of contamination during the initial inspection and quote accordingly.
For rodent exclusion, sealing is typically completed in one visit after animals are confirmed removed — usually within a week or two of initial trapping. For wildlife like squirrels, one-way devices are typically left in place for 5–10 days to ensure all animals have exited before final sealing. Timelines vary depending on the scope of the infestation and the number of entry points.
Many Macon homeowners combine rodent exclusion with year-round general pest control for comprehensive home protection.
