Understanding Predator Removal in Peachtree City
Peachtree City's cart path corridors and nature areas provide travel routes for coyotes and foxes. Residents walking pets on cart paths at dawn and dusk should be aware of potential encounters.
Coyotes, bobcats, and foxes have become increasingly common across Metro Atlanta — and not just in rural areas. We get calls from subdivisions in Kennesaw, Roswell, and Peachtree City from homeowners who've lost outdoor cats, found their chicken coop raided, or are hearing coyotes howling uncomfortably close to their homes at night. Urban and suburban sprawl in Georgia has pushed predators into neighborhoods, and they've adapted remarkably well. A coyote in your neighborhood isn't passing through — it lives there.
The most common scenario we deal with is coyotes targeting pets and backyard livestock. If you have outdoor cats, small dogs, or backyard chickens, coyotes are a real and persistent threat. We worked with a family in Paulding County who lost three cats in two months before realizing coyotes were the cause. They had a pair of coyotes denning under their back deck — less than 50 feet from the house. Bobcats are less common but present, particularly in areas bordering wooded land or greenspace. Foxes tend to be less aggressive but will still raid chicken coops and den under decks and sheds.
Predator management requires a different skill set than typical wildlife removal. These animals are intelligent, cautious, and territorial. Trapping takes experience, patience, and an understanding of predator behavior. We also address the attractants that brought them to your property in the first place — unsecured food sources, accessible shelter under structures, and unprotected livestock. Without addressing the root cause, new predators will move into the vacated territory within weeks.
What To Do Right Now
Do This
- Bring pets indoors at night, especially cats and small dogs
- Secure chicken coops and livestock pens with heavy-gauge wire mesh (not chicken wire — coyotes tear through it)
- Remove outdoor pet food, fallen fruit, and unsecured trash that attract predators and their prey
- Install motion-activated lights and noise deterrents near vulnerable areas
Don't Do This
- Do NOT attempt to corner or approach a coyote, bobcat, or fox — especially if it's daytime (could indicate rabies)
- Do NOT use poison — it's inhumane, illegal for most predator species, and kills non-target animals
- Do NOT assume a single sighting is a one-time event — if you see a predator, it lives in your area
- Do NOT leave small pets unattended outdoors, even in a fenced yard

Dangers & Health Risks
Pet & Livestock Attacks
Coyotes and bobcats are opportunistic predators that pose a real threat to small pets and backyard livestock.
Rabies & Disease
Foxes and coyotes can carry rabies, mange, and distemper — all transmissible to pets and potentially humans.
Denning Near Homes
Predators denning under decks, sheds, or crawlspaces create ongoing safety and hygiene concerns.
How We Solve Your Predator Removal Problem
Every situation is different, but our proven process ensures a permanent solution — not a temporary fix.
Property Assessment & Risk Evaluation
We assess your property for predator activity — tracks, scat, den sites, kill sites — and identify what's attracting them. We evaluate the threat level to your family, pets, and livestock.
Professional Trapping & Removal
Using legal, humane trapping methods, we remove predators from your property. Coyotes are non-game animals in Georgia and can be trapped year-round. Bobcats and foxes require specific licensing we hold.
Habitat Modification & Prevention
We address the root causes — sealing den sites under decks and structures, securing food sources, reinforcing livestock pens, and installing deterrents to prevent new predators from establishing territory.
Common in Peachtree City & Fayette County
Coyotes are now established throughout Metro Atlanta and are the most common predator we remove. They're particularly active in Paulding, Douglas, Coweta, and Fayette counties, but we regularly get calls from Cobb, Fulton, and Gwinnett as well. Bobcats are present in lower numbers but reported frequently near greenspace corridors in Roswell, Alpharetta, and north Fulton. Georgia classifies coyotes as non-game animals (no season, no bag limit), while bobcats and foxes are furbearers requiring seasonal permits or depredation permits. All our technicians are licensed for furbearer management.
Line Creek Nature Area, Flat Creek Nature Area, Lake Peachtree, Lake Kedron, and 100+ miles of wooded multi-use paths create an extensive urban-wildlife interface. HOAs frequently report beaver damage to cart path bridges and retention ponds. Squirrels and raccoons thrive in the heavily wooded lots. Bat colonies are found in homes near the lake areas.

What Peachtree City Customers Say
