🏆 IF MOLES HAD BEAUTY CONTESTS… THIS ONE WOULD SURELY WIN! 🏆

In all our years of professional wildlife control, we've NEVER seen a mole with coloring quite like this one! Most of the Eastern Moles we encounter here in North Georgia have dark gray, brownish-gray, or nearly black fur.

But THIS little beauty? A gorgeous gray coat with what looks like a perfectly styled GINGER WIG sitting right on top of its head! 😂

Mother Nature certainly threw us a curveball with this one!

But as cute and unusual as this little fellow is, there's a reason homeowners call Southern Wildlife Management when moles start moving into their yards.

DON'T LET THAT ADORABLE FACE FOOL YOU… MOLES ARE UNDERGROUND DESTRUCTION MACHINES!

Moles may be tiny, but they are incredibly powerful diggers! Their oversized front paws are specially designed for excavating underground tunnels, and they can tunnel through surprisingly large areas of your lawn while searching for earthworms, grubs, and other soil-dwelling creatures.

And here's something many homeowners don't realize…. Moles aren't eating your grass or plant roots! They're primarily insectivores, meaning they're hunting for food beneath the soil. Unfortunately, their constant digging can uproot grass, disturb root systems, create unsightly ridges, and leave your beautiful lawn looking like an underground highway system!

SIGNS YOU MAY HAVE A MOLE PROBLEM:

- Raised, winding ridges running through your grass.
- Fresh mounds of loose soil appearing seemingly overnight.
- Soft or uneven areas where underground tunnels have weakened the soil.
- Damaged grass or plants where tunneling has disturbed the roots.
- New tunnels continuing to appear even after you've flattened the old ones.

SO HOW DO WE GET RID OF MOLES?-

We understand that every property is different, and there's no single mole-control method that's appropriate for every situation.
That's why we offer several professional approaches to Mole Trapping, Mole Baiting, and Mole Control throughout North Georgia.

✅ PROFESSIONAL MOLE TRAPPING
One of the most targeted methods of mole control is trapping. Our experienced technicians evaluate the tunneling activity, identify travel routes, and strategically place specialized mole traps where they're most likely to be effective. The trick isn't simply finding a tunnel. It's knowing which tunnel will be the most productive!

✅ PROFESSIONAL MOLE BAITING
Depending on the property and the extent of tunneling, professional mole baiting may be an appropriate solution. Unlike ordinary rodent bait, products specifically formulated and labeled for mole control are designed around the unique feeding habits of these underground insectivores. Proper placement within active tunnel systems is critical, and our technicians determine whether baiting is suitable for the location and conditions.

✅ MOLE TUNNEL GASSING — YES, SOMETIMES WE DO THAT TOO!
Here's a mole-control method many homeowners don't even realize exists! Under certain circumstances, specialized tunnel-gassing treatments can be another tool in our mole-control arsenal. However, not every mole tunnel is a good candidate for gassing. Soil conditions, tunnel structure, moisture, proximity to buildings, and other safety considerations all play a role in determining whether this treatment is appropriate.

With their sharp teeth, beady eyes, and tendency to show off that intimidating grin, opossums (affectionately called Grinners here in the South) have earned a reputation they don't entirely deserve!

These unusual marsupials are generally nonaggressive and play an important role in our ecosystem.

A few reasons to appreciate these nighttime visitors:

✅ Nature's Nighttime Clean-Up Crew: Possums are opportunistic scavengers that eat fallen fruit, carrion, and other organic material.
✅ Natural Pest Control: Their varied diet includes insects, snails, slugs, and other small creatures.
✅ Mostly Harmless: That scary grin is usually a defensive display rather than an invitation to fight!

And while possums are sometimes credited with eating thousands of ticks, that popular claim has been greatly exaggerated. They're still beneficial animals—just not the tick-eating superheroes they're often made out to be! But beneficial doesn't mean they belong under your house!

When possums take up residence in crawl spaces, attics, garages, or other unwanted areas, Southern Wildlife Management offers professional Possum Trapping & Control to help resolve the problem.

We believe in respecting wildlife while protecting your home and property.

Chipmunks may be adorable, but when their population gets out of control, these little critters can become BIG problems for homeowners!

While a few chipmunks running around your yard are perfectly normal, an overpopulation can lead to extensive burrowing around foundations, patios, retaining walls, flower beds, and landscaping. Their underground tunnel systems can create unsightly holes and potentially undermine structures.

That's where Southern Wildlife Management comes in!

We offer professional Chipmunk Trapping & Control to help manage excessive populations. Our humane trapping programs allow us to capture and relocate these little troublemakers FAR AWAY from your property!

THE BUSY SEASON IS COMING! IS YOUR ATTIC GOING TO HOST UNINVITED GUESTS?

As temperatures begin dropping across North Georgia, squirrels are looking for warm, protected places to shelter—and your attic might be their next destination!

Unfortunately, these furry little houseguests don't pay rent, and the damage they leave behind can be expensive!

WHAT CAN SQUIRRELS DO IN YOUR ATTIC?
-Chew through electrical wiring, creating potential fire hazards.
-Damage insulation and contaminate attic spaces with urine and droppings.
-Gnaw through soffits, fascia boards, and other vulnerable areas.
-Build nests and potentially raise their young inside your home.

TRAPPING ALONE ISN'T ALWAYS THE SOLUTION!
At Southern Wildlife Management, we specialize in professional Squirrel Trapping, Squirrel Removal & Squirrel Exclusion. We don't just remove the squirrels—we can also identify and secure vulnerable entry points to help keep them from returning.

Our professional Squirrel Exclusion Services include a FREE 5-Year Warranty!

DON'T LET YOUR ATTIC BECOME A WINTER RENTAL!

ARMADILLOS: ARMORED LITTLE DIGGERS THAT CAN WREAK HAVOC ON YOUR YARD!

Armadillos may look harmless with their prehistoric armor and curious snouts, but these powerful diggers can cause significant damage to lawns, flower beds, and landscaping.

Armadillos spend much of their time searching for grubs, earthworms, and insects beneath the soil. Unfortunately, their constant digging can leave your property looking like a construction zone.

COMMON SIGNS OF ARMADILLO DAMAGE:

✔️ Lawn Damage: Armadillos create numerous small, cone-shaped holes while searching for food, often leaving lawns riddled with unsightly divots.

✔️ Landscape Destruction: Flower beds, gardens, and freshly mulched areas are particularly attractive feeding grounds, resulting in uprooted plants and disturbed landscaping.

✔️ Burrowing Under Structures: Armadillos can excavate extensive burrows beneath decks, patios, sheds, and foundations, potentially compromising soil stability.

✔️ Repeated Property Damage: Once an armadillo discovers a reliable food source, it may return night after night, causing ongoing damage.

DID YOU KNOW? Armadillos have poor eyesight but an exceptional sense of smell, allowing them to detect insects and other food sources beneath the ground.

PROFESSIONAL ARMADILLO TRAPPING & REMOVAL

At Southern Wildlife Management, we specialize in humane Armadillo Trapping and Removal throughout North Georgia. Our professional trapping programs help eliminate nuisance armadillo activity and prevent continued damage to your property.

BAT MATERNITY SEASON IS OVER — WHICH MEANS BAT EVICTIONS CAN BEGIN!

This is the time of year we’ve been waiting for!

During Bat Maternity Season, bats are protected for a very good reason. Female bats gather in maternity colonies to give birth and raise their pups, and those babies are unable to fly for several weeks. Evicting the adults too early can leave flightless babies trapped inside an attic with no way to survive.

Now that maternity season has ended, we can humanely evict bats from homes without the fear of leaving flightless babies behind.
At Southern Wildlife Management, our goal is simple:

✅ Get the bats OUT
✅ Keep the bats from getting back IN
✅ Do it QUICKLY & HUMANELY
✅ Complete the process without harming the bats

Bats are an important part of our ecosystem, and they deserve to be protected. They just don’t need to be living in your attic!
And speaking of Bat Exclusion… I have to share something that absolutely floored me.

We recently gave a homeowner in Blue Ridge, Georgia an estimate for Bat Exclusion. They told us our estimate was MORE THAN $10,000 LESS than the estimate they received from a national franchise.

TEN. THOUSAND. DOLLARS. LESS. 😳

At first I was shocked. Then, quite frankly, I got angry.

I understand that EVERYTHING is more expensive today. Materials cost more. Insurance costs more. Labor costs more. Running a legitimate, licensed wildlife company costs more.

BUT COME ON!!!!!

There is a difference between charging enough to operate a professional business and handing a homeowner an astronomical estimate because they’re scared, have bats living above their heads, and don’t know what the service should reasonably cost.
We’ve been a local, family-owned North Georgia wildlife company for more than 15 years. We know how to solve bat problems, we know how to properly Bat-Proof a home, and we believe homeowners deserve professional work at a FAIR price.

If you’ve been told you have bats and received an estimate that made your jaw hit the floor, GET ANOTHER ESTIMATE.
Seriously.

A bat problem needs to be handled correctly — but protecting your home should not require taking out a second mortgage.

Copperheads are a perfect example of just how well snakes can disappear into the North Georgia landscape. Their coloring allows them to blend almost perfectly with leaves, pine straw, mulch, rocks, and wooded areas—sometimes making them difficult to spot even when they are right in front of you.

For homeowners dealing with frequent snake activity, it can feel like a never-ending battle. But one of the most important things to understand is this:

Snakes usually aren’t showing up for no reason. They are following food.

One of the biggest attractants we see around North Georgia homes is bird feeders.

Bird seed doesn’t just attract birds. Seed scattered underneath feeders attracts mice, rats, squirrels, chipmunks, and other small animals. Once rodents discover an easy food source, snakes may eventually discover the rodents.

Bird Feeders → Rodents → Snakes

If you are trying to reduce snake activity around your property, removing bird feeders is one of the FIRST changes we recommend.
You can also help by keeping grass and vegetation maintained, cleaning up brush and debris, reducing hiding areas around the home, and addressing rodent activity before it becomes established.

We can never completely eliminate snakes from the North Georgia outdoors—and we shouldn’t expect to. They are part of our ecosystem. But we CAN make your property less attractive to the prey and conditions that continually bring them closer to your home.

Snake prevention often starts long before you ever see the snake.

This Is What We Protect.

Bats are a protected species, but the law should not be the only reason we handle them responsibly.

When a bat colony has flightless babies, that space is functioning as a maternity ward. Evicting the mothers before the pups can fly can leave babies trapped inside, separate families, and create an even larger problem within the structure.

There is a right way and a wrong way to perform Bat Removal. Responsible wildlife control means understanding the bat maternity season, waiting until the young are able to fly, and then completing a professional Bat Exclusion that protects the home without harming the colony.

At Southern Wildlife Management, our decisions are guided by more than regulations. They are guided by experience, humane practices, and respect for the wildlife we are trusted to manage.
