Spring is here, and we're busy with grey squirrels, flying squirrels, bats, beavers, snakes, and moles. On the pest control side of things, carpenter ants, small ants, and kudzu bugs are already in full swing, and we're starting to get calls for honey bees and carpenter bees.

Welcome to Rid-A-Critter, Northern Georgia's biggest and best-equipped urban wildlife and pest management company. We were founded in 2001 to bring an enlightened, scientific approach to animal control, and have grown to become Northern Georgia's animal control leader.

Please contact us if the critter you need controlled isn't listed. We're a full-service animal control company and can handle any urban wildlife problem—even those that aren't encountered often enough to have their own pages, such as feral cat control.

Georgia is growing. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Georgia's population is one of the fastest-growing in the country. But as the human population increases, so do conflicts between humans and wildlife.
Rapid development in communities like Atlanta, Athens, Augusta, Macon, Roswell, Columbus, Marietta, Sandy Springs, and other Georgia cities displaces wild animals from their natural homes. More and more wild animals are being forced to live near human-occupied areas, creating an increased need for humane animal removal.
Ad Rid-A-Critter, our emphasis is on humane wildlife management. The animals were here first, after all, and they're just trying to survive by adapting to the ever-growing number of humans moving into their neighborhoods.
But it's also true that when animals and humans live closer and closer to each other, incidents of property damage and animal attacks upon humans, domestic animals and livestock increase. And so, unfortunately, does the risk of zoonotic diseases like rabies, mange and other parasitic diseases, and histoplasmosis.
Damage to wiring caused by squirrels in an attic in Atlanta.
In addition to the health risks, animals and pests often cause physical damage to buildings, which ranges from nuisance-grade (such as the holes drilled by carpenter bees), to potentially devastating (such as the risk of fire created when squirrels, rats, or mice gnaw on the insulation of electrical wiring, as shown in the picture on the right).
To reduce these risks and live in harmony with urban wildlife, we need humane, earth-friendly, professional animal control. At Rid-A-Critter, we know that wildlife management and environmental stewardship go hand in hand. We were providing "green" animal and pest control long before "green" became a buzz word. Our crew of urban wildlife control professionals can humanely trap, remove, or relocate almost any nuisance animal from your home, commercial office building, church, barn, or anywhere else on your property, in accordance with Georgia state law.
We provide environmentally-responsible animal control and pest control in Atlanta, Athens, Augusta, Macon, Columbus, Roswell, Marietta, Sandy Springs, Peachtree City, and all of Northern and Central Georgia. (Please see our service area map.)
