"WHEN HAND REMOVAL IS THE RIGHT CALL!"

Not every wildlife situation needs traps. When an animal is confined in a small, enclosed space, we can often safely remove it by hand and resolve the problem immediately.

Examples where hand removal works:
☑️ Stuck in a garbage dumpster
☑️ Closed up inside a shed or garage
☑️ Trapped in a laundry room or living space
☑️ Inside a vehicle

In these situations, the animal has nowhere to go, which allows for a controlled, safe removal without setting traps.
Where hand removal is NOT the right approach:

❌ Attics
❌ Yards
❌ Crawlspaces or wide-open areas

If the animal can move freely, it becomes a trapping job with proper setup and daily trap checks to ensure safe and effective removal.

The key is choosing the right method for the situation—quick hand removal when possible, and structured trapping when necessary.

PROFESSIONAL MOLE CONTROL SERVICES IN NORTH GEORGIA

Raised ridges across your lawn? Soft, spongy soil underfoot? Those are signs of active mole tunneling. Moles travel just beneath the surface while feeding on earthworms and grubs, creating visible turf damage that can spread quickly if left untreated.

At Southern Wildlife Management, our mole control service is all-inclusive and professionally managed based on the active conditions at your property. We service from Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Cummming all the way up to Dawsonville. The Mole in the picture just was pulled out of a lawn in Alpharetta today.

Why Mole Damage Expands Quickly>

Moles do not eat grass, but their tunneling:
• Separates turf roots from soil
• Creates unstable walking surfaces
• Damages ornamental beds
• Expands daily as new tunnels are formed

DIY repellents and sonic devices rarely stop established tunnel systems. Once activity is visible, professional control is typically required.

Our mole control service may include:
• Mole Trapping – Strategic placement in active primary tunnels
• Mole Baiting – Used when soil conditions and activity patterns make it appropriate
• Tunnel Gassing – Using carbon monoxide delivered through specialized mole burrow equipment

Our tunnel gassing system uses carbon monoxide generated from controlled exhaust equipment designed specifically for underground burrows. This is not gasoline, and no liquid fuel is poured into the ground. The gas is injected directly into active tunnels, where it displaces oxygen and acts quickly within the confined underground system. When applied properly, it does not harm grass or root systems because it remains within the tunnel airspace and dissipates once exposed to open air.
That said, tunnel gassing is the method we use the least. Unlike trapping, which provides physical confirmation of success, gassing does not provide visible feedback or confirmation of mortality. For that reason, trapping is often preferred when conditions allow. The technician evaluates active runs, soil conditions, and tunnel patterns, then discusses the most appropriate method—or combination of methods—with the homeowner.

Correct identification of primary tunnels is critical. Random placement or guessing typically leads to poor results.

When to Schedule Mole Service >

If fresh ridges appear daily or tunneling continues to spread across your yard, professional intervention is recommended. Mole activity in North Georgia lawns can escalate quickly, especially in irrigated or well-maintained turf.

"A CHRISTMAS IN THE ATTIC"

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and up in the attic,
Came sounds that were anything but static.
Rustles and scurries, a soft little pitter,
From critters who’d found the warm space much fitter.

The stockings were hung and the tree stood bright,
While squirrels and mice planned their own festive night.
In gable and soffit, behind the old beam,
A raccoon curled up, lost deep in a dream.

The bats hung still in their shadowy perch,
While rats held a meeting near Grandma’s old church.
“Tonight is the night!” said the mouse with a squeak,
“Let’s feast on the crumbs they’ve left us to seek!”

The family below was unaware,
Of the attic creatures, cozy and fair.
While carols played soft and laughter rang,
Above, the critters prepared for their bang.

The squirrel brought nuts from an old dusty stash,
The raccoon uncovered a box marked “trash.”
The mice laid out crumbs of a cookie long gone,
And bats flapped along to a sweet yuletide song.

But then, from below, there arose such a clatter!
The critters froze still—what could be the matter?
They peeked through the gaps, and what did they see?
A man in red boots by the lights of the tree!

“Santa!” they whispered, their eyes open wide.
The raccoon leaned closer, his tail brushing the side.
With a twinkle and wink, Santa reached for his sack,
Unaware of the critters watching from back.

He filled up the stockings and set down the toys,
Then vanished away with his magical poise.
The critters in awe, full of Christmas delight,
Snuggled back in the attic and whispered, “Good night.”

So if you hear rustles this holiday season,
Know it’s just critters call it home—and for good reason!
They’ve found in your attic a home safe and warm,
To spend Christmas Eve away from the storm.

But if their parties get loud and your peace disappears,
Call Southern Wildlife Management—we’ll bring you good cheer.
With affordable pricing and long warranties to boot,
We’re your local family business, trusted and astute.

For over 15 years, we’ve served with pride,
Securing your home so critters can’t hide.
So this Christmas, rest easy, let your attic be clear,
And enjoy the season—critter-free cheer!

This little snake is not a baby Rattlesnake or Copperhead! So many people misidentify it, and we hope to educate so fewer are needlessly harmed.

Meet the Brown Snake, also called DeKay’s Brown Snake (Storeria dekayi). This small, non-venomous snake is native to North America and thrives here in North Georgia. Typically only 9-13 inches long, it’s easy to recognize by its brown or grayish-brown color, with a lighter central stripe and tiny black spots.

These shy, docile snakes prefer hiding under rocks, logs, or leaves, whether in woodlands, gardens, or even city areas. They’re pest controllers, feeding mainly on slugs, snails, and earthworms—using unique jaws to extract snails from their shells!

Brown snakes rarely bite and are non-aggressive. When threatened, they may flatten their bodies to look bigger or release a musky odor as a defense.

An interesting fact: they give birth to live young, with litters ranging from 3 to 41 in late summer.

As “Least Concern” on the conservation scale, Brown Snakes play a vital role in pest control, especially in gardens, helping keep ecosystems balanced. Let’s help protect these beneficial little neighbors! 🐍

Please share with Friends & Neighbors!

With the cold weather heading our way this is the time of the year where you start hear little pitter patter in our attics & walls. This includes Flying Squirrels, Grey Squirrels, Raccoons & Rats.

Based upon many frantic phone calls, I wanted to put your mind at ease when you start hearing noises and dispel the hype some companies use to create a sense of urgency in hiring them:

1) They are not trying to get inside your living space. The digging & chewing you hear is them trying to build a nest to have babies. It is very uncommon for them to enter the living space unless by accident.

2) If they are in your attic, it is super-highly unlikely that you will get a disease from them. You do not live in the attic, you do not stay up there and breath in the attic dust and particulates so there is little risk. Do not panic!

3) We can seal up your home to prevent future entry. It is an everyday occurrence for us to prevent wildlife entry. We have been doing this for 15 years.

THINGS YOU CAN DO TO REDUCE THE CHANCES OF ATTRACTING RODENTS TO YOUR HOME:

1) Cut back branches that come close to the house and especially touching the roof. Although you can have ZERO trees or branches and they can still get in.... the easier you make access the more likely they will come.

2) Stop feeding domestic animals outside. Just stop it! It seems like the right thing to do but what actually happens is the wrong critters are drawn to it and where there is food they will come in numbers.

3) If you don't want rats outside, remove bird feeders and clean up after your dogs. Dog waste can have undigested grains which as gross as it sounds it attracts rats.

4) Move all clutter and debris along the edge of your home. It gives a sense of security for rats to travel without being seen or detected.

5) Did I mention, stop feeding animals outside?

6) Cleanup any food debris on grills and bring in anything that smells of food.

Hopefully this post will help you to prevent a problem. If not, Our family business hopes that you will think of us if a problem should arise. We can immediately help!

Today we were in the middle of removing a Yellowjacket hive in the ground and just inches away from where the Wildlife Tech was kneeling a Copperhead slithered away.

Imagine with our trained eyes, removing countless amounts of snakes from clients yards every year, if we are not focusing on snakes at the moment… we can miss it. Now, imagine how easily an untrained eye can miss the”Masters of Camouflage”.

It is scary this year. We have seen more Copperheads this year than the last 3 years combined.

We have services where we can remove snakes from your yard and measures we can take to help reduce the snake to human interaction. Call us at (678)935-5900 if you want to schedule a Snake Control Visit.
