Welcome to Rid-A-Critter Pest Control

Pest Control with a Conscience

Our Georgia climate makes an ideal environment for all sorts of crawling critters.

Once upon a time, Georgia exterminators relied on repeated pesticide applications to keep pests at bay. Some still do. But modern pest control companies like Rid-A-Critter prefer more environmentally friendly, "green" pest control methods. These newer techniques emphasize non-chemical, "organic" pest control methods, and use pesticides sparingly and only when needed. This approach not only minimizes pesticide use: It results in more effective treatment and longer-lasting results.

Rid-A-Critter is a local, family-owned business that has earned the Better Business Bureau's highest rating. We specialize in environmentally-responsible, integrated pest management (IPM) solutions to homeowners and businesses in Atlanta throughout Northern and Central Georgia. We believe that pest control can be both effective and earth-friendly; and we approach every job we do with the dual goals of maximizing effectiveness while minimizing pesticide use.

Whenever possible, we employ an organic approach to pest control, using as little pesticide as possible (or none at all). We emphasize inspection, sanitation, habitat modification, and exclusion as our primary pest control tools. When pesticides are needed, we select the most environmentally-friendly products available, trying whenever possible to use products that are naturally-derived, and use only as much as is necessary to achieve control.

Our Pest Control Philosophy

Although every job is different, in general, our approach to environmentally responsible pest control emphasizes the following steps:

• The property is inspected for pests and conducive conditions, and the results shared with the customer.
• Conducive conditions are corrected to the maximum extent practical.
• Non-chemical measures such as exclusion, sealing, and trapping are employed to rapidly reduce pest populations and help keep pests from returning.
• When necessary, judicious applications of insecticides or rodenticides may be used.
