Rodents are the most common wildlife issue we deal with across Metro Atlanta — and they're also the most underestimated. By the time most homeowners call us, the problem is far worse than they realize. A single pair of mice can produce 60+ offspring in a year. Rats are bolder, more destructive, and can gnaw through wood, PVC pipe, and even concrete. Whether you're dealing with mice in your kitchen walls or rats in your attic, the approach is the same: trap, seal, and eliminate every entry point. Anything less is a temporary fix.

In our experience, the most common mistake homeowners make with rodents is buying traps at the hardware store and thinking the problem is solved when they catch a few. What they don't realize is that for every rodent you see, there are likely 10-20 more you don't. We got a call from a family in Douglasville who had been 'managing' their mouse problem with snap traps for over a year. When we inspected, we found the attic insulation completely saturated with urine, droppings throughout the HVAC ductwork, and over a dozen active entry points around the foundation and roofline. The contamination was so severe the entire attic needed to be gutted and re-insulated.

Rodent droppings and urine aren't just unpleasant — they carry real diseases. Hantavirus from mice, leptospirosis from rats, and salmonella from both. When droppings dry out and get disturbed (like when you turn on your HVAC system), particles become airborne and circulate through your home. Chewed wiring is another critical concern — rodent-gnawed electrical wires are a leading cause of house fires in Georgia. If you're seeing droppings, hearing scratching, or smelling something musty in your walls, don't wait.
