We are still here & going strong. The concept of having multiple pages to identify different cities and different services is running me ragged. I am getting too old for this. I will spend more time updating fewer pages.

While bats are essential contributors to our local ecosystemβ€”specifically for natural insect controlβ€”their presence inside a home or commercial building is a serious matter.

From April 1st through July 31st, we are in the "maternity black-out period." During these months, female bats give birth to pups that are initially unable to fly. Because these flightless babies remain in the roost, standard exclusion work is strictly regulated to prevent the harm of the colony.

We look for indicators to confirm whether flightless pups are present. If we identify an active maternity colony, we pause exclusion work to ensure no animals are trapped inside or harmed. Our approach is always "wildlife-first"; we prioritize compliance with both state and federal laws to ensure the safety and survival of these protected pollinators.

Woodpecker damage? Here’s what most people don’t realize πŸ‘‡

Woodpeckers are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. That means it is illegal to harm them, trap them, remove active nests, or disturb eggs without proper permits. On top of that, they are protected as native non-game wildlife by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.

So when people ask, β€œCan’t you just get rid of them?” β€” the answer is NO.

The damage you’re seeingβ€”holes in siding, trim, or chimney areasβ€”is usually tied to nesting behavior or territorial drumming. But even when they’re causing damage, the law still protects them.

Here’s how we handle it the right way: We start by inspecting the cavity (VIDEO SHOWN) with a scope to determine if there are eggs or active nesting. If eggs are present, no work can be done that would disturb them until the eggs have hatched and babies have left the nest. If the cavity is clear, we move forward with our Woodpecker Hazing Program.

This is a professional, legal, and highly effective deterrent system designed to stop the behavior and prevent further damageβ€”without harming the bird and without putting the homeowner at risk of violating federal law.

The Bottom line:

This isn’t a β€œremove the animal” situationβ€”it’s a β€œchange the behavior and protect the home” solution.

If woodpeckers are damaging your home, reach out and we’ll walk you through the right way to handle it.

BATS IN THE ATTIC? WHY LEGAL & HUMANE REMOVAL MATTERS -

Finding bats in an attic can be alarming, but bats are not nuisance pests in the traditional sense. They are highly beneficial wildlife that play an important role in controlling insect populations, including mosquitoes and agricultural pests. From both an environmental and ethical standpoint, bats deserve protection.

Bats are also federally and state protected species. It is illegal to harm, poison, trap, or attempt to kill bats. Many do-it-yourself methods found online are not only ineffective but violate wildlife protection laws and often make the situation worse by trapping bats inside walls or living spaces.

The proper solution is humane bat exclusionβ€”a legal process that allows bats to safely exit a structure while preventing them from re-entering. This method keeps bats alive, allows them to remain in the surrounding area where they belong, and permanently resolves the issue for the homeowner.

Our team are Certified Bat Removal Specialists through the National Wildlife Control Operators Association (NWCOA) https://nwcoa.com/. We follow proper, legal, and humane bat exclusion practices aligned with guidance from Bat World Sanctuary (batworld.org), a nationally recognized authority on ethical bat exclusion. Our methods go beyond minimum requirements to ensure bats are excluded safely and responsibly.

We are a family-owned wildlife control company, and we’ve been professionally and legally removing bats from homes throughout Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Cu***ng, Duluth, Dawsonville, and all the way into the North Georgia Mountains and Blue Ridge for over 15 years. Our experience in both suburban and mountain environments allows us to apply solutions that work long-term.

We offer Humane & Certified Bat Removal and Bat Exclusion Services, backed by a Free 10-Year Bat Exclusion Warranty. This ensures lasting protection for your home while respecting the wildlife that share our environment.

If you suspect bats in your attic, legal exclusionβ€”not exterminationβ€”is the only responsible solution for both homeowners and bats.

As colder weather settles into North Georgia, wildlife behavior changes fast β€” especially from Johns Creek (Duluth) all the way up to Dawsonville or Blue Ridge.

Some wildlife species slow down or seem to disappear once temperatures drop. Bats move into hibernation, insects and bugs die off or go dormant, moles tunnel deeper underground, snakes retreat to overwintering areas, and hornets abandon active nests. But winter doesn’t mean wildlife problems stop. It means the problem shifts.

Cold weather is peak season for animals actively seeking warmth inside homes. Squirrels, raccoons, rats, and mice become more aggressive about entering attics, walls, soffits, and crawlspaces to nest and escape the cold. These areas provide shelter, warmth, and a quiet place to raise young, which is why many homeowners start hearing scratching, running, or thumping noises during winter months.

If you’re noticing new activity in your attic or walls, it’s not something to ignore. Winter wildlife issues rarely resolve on their own.
Southern Wildlife Management provides professional, humane wildlife trapping and removal throughout North Georgia, serving areas from Johns Creek to Dawsonville.
