Wildlife Removal in Marietta, GA
We are a referral service, not a pest control contractor — we may be paid when you call. Full disclosure.
Squirrels in the attic, raccoons under the deck, bats in a soffit — wildlife removal in Marietta, GA is a different job from pest control, priced differently and often handled by different companies. Here is what it costs, what the law allows in Georgia, and why the repair matters more than the trapping.
Removal is the cheap part
The mistake almost everyone makes is paying to trap an animal and stopping there. Trapping without exclusion means the next animal uses the same entry point, and the entry point is usually a gap you can find in an afternoon.
| Stage | What it involves | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Inspection | Find every entry point, not just the obvious one | Squirrels routinely maintain two or three |
| Removal | Trapping or one-way exclusion doors | Timing matters — young in a nest changes the approach |
| Exclusion | Seal entries with material the animal cannot chew | This is the part that actually solves it |
| Cleanup | Droppings, nesting material, contaminated insulation | Attic insulation replacement often exceeds removal cost |
Marietta-specific pressure
Homes backing onto wooded corridors carry materially higher wildlife pressure than those in open subdivisions. In and around Marietta that means properties near Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, the Chattahoochee corridor, and the creek lines running through east and south Cobb. Older housing stock compounds it — soffit and fascia gaps on a 1970s roofline are the standard squirrel entry.

Common questions
Is wildlife removal covered by my pest control plan?
Almost never. General pest plans cover insects and sometimes rodents. Squirrels, raccoons, opossums and bats are quoted separately.
What is scratching in my attic at dawn and dusk?
Usually squirrels — they are diurnal and loudest at first light. Heavier, slower movement at night is more often raccoon or opossum. Rapid scurrying in walls at night points to rodents rather than wildlife.
Do I need to replace the insulation?
If there is contamination, usually yes, and it is frequently the largest line on the invoice. Get it quoted separately so you can see what you are paying for.
Will they come back?
Not through a properly sealed entry. They will absolutely come back through an unsealed one, which is why exclusion work should carry its own warranty.
