Ron and Jason on a man lift doing rat control in Atlanta

Welcome to the Metro Atlanta office of Rid-A-Critter, North Georgia's most well-established and best-equipped animal control and wildlife management company. We are a locally-owned business based right here in Georgia, and we employ local wildlife control professionals who live and work in the areas they service. We specialize in providing safe, humane, non-chemical wildlife-removal and animal-proofing services to homeowners and businesses throughout the Metro Atlanta area.

Rid-A-Critter was founded back in 2001. Our goal was to bring a enlightened, scientific approach to professional nuisance wildlife control, and to deliver it with old-fashioned customer service and fanatical dedication to quality and customer service. At Rid-A-Critter, we strive to be the best at everything we do. We're not happy until you're happy.

We're both proud and humbled to say that our efforts have paid off. In addition to being the biggest animal removal company in Atlanta, we've also earned the trust of our customers and the public and have earned the Better Business Bureau's highest rating. We're grateful to you, our customers, for your loyalty and support throughout the years.

This section of our site is customized for our Metro Atlanta customers and visitors, and concentrates on those critters most often encountered in and around the great city of Atlanta and its surrounding communities, including Buckhead, College Park, Conyers, Decatur, Lilburn, Lithonia, Mableton, Marietta, Sandy Springs, Smyrna, Stone Mountain, and Vinings, as well as many smaller towns and communities in the general vicinity of Atlanta.

Our Animal Control Services

Rid-A-Critter is a full-service animal-removal, prevention, and damage-repair company. We also provide carpenter bee removal and damage repair, and stinging insect control services in most areas. Our most in-demand services in the Metro Atlanta Area include:

There are many companies providing animal removal services in Atlanta and the surrounding communities, and we're well aware that you do have a choice and that we have to earn your business. Here are some reasons why we believe that we're your best choice for animal control in the Greater Atlanta area.

Perhaps most importantly, Rid-A-Critter is a locally-owned company, not a franchise of some big company with headquarters elsewhere. When you choose us for your animal control needs, you have immediate access to an owner. We live here. We're your friends and neighbors.

But just because we're local doesn't mean that we're small. Rid-A-Critter has the personnel, equipment, and resources to handle any animal control job -- from little cottages in the woods, to commercial and industrial buildings, power plants, malls, hospitals, schools, churches, and even airports.

In addition, Rid-A-Critter guarantees your satisfaction. We have the best warranty in the business. Just ask any of our reps to go over it with you before you make your decision. If the animals come back during the warranty period, then so do we. Our warranty is also renewable and can be transferred to the new owner if you sell your home or commercial building.

We also believe that businesses have a social responsibility to the communities in which we work. We support a wide variety of charitable and youth organizations, and we encourage our staff to take part in community and volunteer activities that make our communities better places.

Finally, Rid-A-Critter believes in preserving our natural environment. Whenever possible, we perform our work without using any chemical pesticides at all, and we always use the most humane methods possible to achieve the desired goals.

Please contact us for more information about how Rid-A-Critter can help you solve your animal removal and wildlife management problems. We look forward to hearing from you!

The soffit panel is sagging down an inch or so under the weight of a squirrel nest at a house in Dunwoody, Georgia. Once the squirrels are trapped and relocated, the squirrel-removal crew will repair the damage and seal the house to keep wildlife out of the soffits and the attic.

Squirrels made a mess in the attic of a house in Newnan, Georgia by tearing down a lot of the insulation from the walls and tearing it up from between the joists. The squirrel-removal crew will replace the insulation once the squirrels have been relocated and the house made animal-proof.

If you're curious about how rats got into a brick house in Stone Mountain, Georgia, it was through a gap over a pair of pipes where they pass through a crudely-made hole in the brick wall. Our rodent pest control crew is patching the hole to rat-proof the house, and using traps to non-chemically treat the existing infestation.

The reason we're doing Norway rat control in Newnan, Georgia today is because the rats gnawed a hole a couple of inches wide through the rubber bottom seal of the garage door to get into the house. We'll be replacing the seal, as well as finding and sealing off any other other potential ways that rodent pests might get into the house.

The screen behind the metal lattice of the foundation vent is badly corroded and has detached itself from the lattice, which is why he have a rodent pest control team doing Norway rat control at a Dunwoody, Georgia home today. They'll install new screens over the vent to make them rat-proof.

Squirrels gnawed at the top edge of the roof fascia to enlarge an existing gap between the fascia and the sheathing to a four-inch gap that allowed them to easily get into the attic of a house in McDonough, Georgia. The crew trapping and removing the squirrels from the attic is covering the gap with a wildlife barrier to animal-proof the roof.

We should be finishing up a Peachtree City rat control job some time this afternoon. All the rats have been trapped and removed from the house, and the holes they were using to get inside have been sealed. Right now we're replacing the insulation between the joists in the crawl space now where the rats were traveling between the insulation and the subflooring.

This afternoon we'll be starting a non-chemical Norway rat control job at a Lilburn, Georgia home. The rat problem started with a gap over the air conditioning pipes and wires where they pass through a fist-sized hole in the cinder block foundation of the house. The gap was filled with mortar; but the mortar crumbled and fell out, allowing the rats to get in.

A metal clothes dryer vent attached to some loose bricks that are ready to fall out of the wall is the reason we have a crew trapping and removing Norway rats from a house in Doraville, Georgia. Rats' bodies are squishy, allowing them to squeeze through holes only slightly larger than their heads.

When you pass a pipe through a hole twice its diameter in a brick wall, you're asking for a rodent problem. That's why a crew from our Metro Atlanta office is doing rat control in Decatur, Georgia this morning.

Keeping rats out of a house without using poisons requires that high-quality materials be used to rodent-proof the house. For example, Norway rats bent the louvers in a thin metal foundation vent to create a gap and get into a house in Atlanta. Our rat control specialists will replace the vent with a sturdier one.

The insulating foam that the air-conditioning installer applied around the pipes where they pass through the brick wall failed to keep Norway rats out of a house in Smyrna, Georgia.

The gaps around a couple of pipes where they pass through holes in the stone walls allowed mice into a house in Smyrna, Georgia.

It looks like the last of the bats have left the attic of a house in Smyrna, Georgia. Our bat-exclusion crew will now permanently seal the house to prevent them from getting back in. The bat-proofing will also keep other nuisance wildlife, as well as birds and rodent pests, out of the attic.

Gray squirrels gnawed a bowl-shaped indentation about an inch deep in the top of the wooden roof fascia to enlarge an existing gap enough for them to get into the attic of a Cedartown, Georgia home.

A homeowner found a shed snake skin on the concrete floor of the garage of their Newnan, Georgia home and called us for snake removal.

The reason our rodent pest control specialists are doing mouse control in the attic of a house in Newnan, Georgia is because a gap around a vertical pipe about an inch from the siding where it passes through the soffit panel allowed the mice to climb up the wall and into the attic.
