Nuisance Wildlife in Johns Creek, GA
Waterways and heavily wooded neighborhoods in Johns Creek, GA, sustain many types of local wildlife. Unfortunately, this typically means pests throughout the city can come into conflict with people.
Johns Creek Squirrels
Johns Creek residents may encounter gray or fox squirrels. These pests are notorious for digging in lawns, eating from gardens, and nesting in homes. Since a squirrel carries mites, fleas, and ticks in its fur, having these animals indoors is dangerous.
Squirrels love to collect and store their treasures. Your home may be the perfect storage facility. They can keep watch over their items by building a nest nearby. You will know they are there when you hear them moving around in your attic or running across your roof, anytime day or night.
Squirrels eat nuts, pinecones, bark, bird eggs, seeds, roots, and garden crops. If you’ve got any of these on your property, or if you keep bird feeders stocked, you’ve got squirrels. Before they do too much damage, call us.
Bat Removal in Johns Creek, GA
Bats in the attic, shed, or barn can be easy to miss. But in Atlanta, it’s not that uncommon.
Georgia is home to 16 species of bats, all of which can carry diseases, so please do not try to interact with a bat. Here’s why: Bats poop and pee a lot. A bat’s guano is so toxic it can degrade metal and wood. Also, they defecate while sleeping upside down, letting the toxic waste run over their bodies. If you touch the fur, you will be handling their waste.
If you have a bat problem, whether it is one bat or an infestation, call Critter Control in Atlanta for a free bat inspection.
Raccoon Control
Raccoons are comfortable living in Johns Creek neighborhoods. The pests burrow under porches to den and knock over trash cans while scrounging for food. Their proximity to people also comes with the threat of disease transmission, as they may carry rabies or raccoon roundworm.
Rat Control
There are three species of rats and mice commonly found in homes and buildings throughout Atlanta: the house mouse, the Norway rat, and the roof rat. Each one scavenges at night to find food and water. During the day, they hunker down in the nest they created, likely in your attic or walls. To make a nest, they will use any materials nearby, including insulation and clothing.
You will rarely see them, but rodents can travel anywhere, which means they can cause damage anywhere. Often found are sagging electrical wires, chewed boards, and a trail of droppings and smelly urine. They also scurry across your countertops and into your pantry, where they chew through food boxes and ruin groceries.
Deer and Grazing
Deer eat the bark from trees in the winter and forage in gardens during the summer. They frequently wander through backyards to find food sources. In addition to ripping the leaves from vegetation, these pests carry deer ticks, the primary source of Lyme disease in Georgia.
Johns Creek Predator Control
Another problem with deer in yards is their potential to draw predators. Coyotes are one of the city’s most common varieties. These pests can attack small pets and act aggressively towards people, making a coyote dangerous in residential areas.
Also found in Johns Creek, foxes generally go for smaller prey than deer. However, they will eat carrion when necessary. Since a fox can spread the rabies virus, it’s always an issue when these animals den around yards, sheds, and homes.
