Rat Removal- The Roof Rat(Rattus Rattus)  and Norway Rat(Rattus Norvegicus) are the most encountered rodent rodent species by A.W.S. professionals.  Roof Rats are arboreal, meaning they live in the trees like Gray Squirrels.  Whereas, the Norway Rat lives subterranean, or underground.  Both produce many offspring and cause millions of damage each year in the U.S.

Both species are commensal rodents, which in Latin means "sharing of food". Rats live off of man and are not beneficial; they spread diseases, contaminate over 1/5th of the worlds food crops each year, damage structures by chewing electrical wires, damaging insulation, flooding out areas by chewing on plastic pipes, and by leaving large amounts of feces and urine.

Mouse Extermination- The most common mice that enter into your home or building is the House Mouse (Mus Musculus) and White Footed Mouse (Peromyscus leucopus).  Both mice leave vast amounts of urine and feces and are prolific breeders.  You may hear these two species in the middle of the night moving about your home.

Gray Squirrel Removal- (Sciurus Carolinensis)  The Gray squirrel is the most common rodent found in Georgia backyards. It is notorius for raiding bird feeders.  You may hear these creatures running on top of your roof or in the gutters.  The Gray squirrel will have two litters of young twice a year, average size litter is 3-4, They damage electrical wiring, wood, and ruin attic insulation through the spreading of feces and urine.  We can remove squirrels safely by trapping them in conjunction with sealing your home to prevent reoccuring infestations.  We are professionals at squirrel trapping and removal.  The Gray Squirrel is diurnal, meaning active during the daytime hours.

Beaver Removal- Largest rodent species in North America is the Beaver (Castor Canadensis).  This rodent species causes damage from flooding areas by clogging culverts, building dams to increase water levels, and girdling trees.  The Beaver is nocturnal and may be seen swimming in the evening hours in streams and ponds.

A.W.S., does not use chemicals or poisons to remove rodents from your home or building.  We only use snap trap removal for rats and mice or excluder traps for squirrel removal. 

These methods are safe,  unlike poison which could lead to accidental poisoning of pets or children and the possibility of causing an overpowering stench from rodents dying in wall voids or other unaccessible areas after the consuming of the bait.

  Rodents that consume bait blocks or packaged bait will bleed out from ingesting the bait, which is an anti-coagulant usually within 2 or 3 days after consuming it.  Where they will likely die is within your wall.   

A.W.S., conducts hundreds of dead animal removal services each year from customers who thought that they could just throw some poison into their attic or crawlspace and solve their rodent problem for good.  Please do not use poison!  Please vist our dead rodent removal page for further information on this specialized service. 

 We also offer organic odor control in combination with rodent feces removal and rodent urine odors elimination.  If you are in need of attic insulation removal, basement clean outs, or deodorizing, A.W.S., can handle any job we are hired for.

       Rodents in the News

Atlanta, GA Animal News Clip: Furry pests fleeing cold can mess up your house Monday, October 24, 2005 ATLANTA — Oh, rats! Those squirrels, bats and other critters in your attic are driving you nuts? You're hearing the pitter-patter of tiny feet or the gnawing of little teeth soon after you grab that best-selling book off the nightstand to read a little at bedtime? Well, don't go bonkers, at least not like the gray-haired guy at a Sports Authority store in Atlanta this month. He was so mad at a big gray squirrel chewing on his house near a huge window that he bought an $85 pellet rifle to shoot it. Warned that he'd probably miss the squirrel and hit the window, he shrugged and walked fuming to the checkout counter, willing to take the chance. It's that time of year when cooler weather sends critters of many kinds scurrying for warm spots to nest — and raise new generations to drive you batty. Squirrels are the biggest pests, followed by rats, mice, bats and flying squirrels, said Don The Pest Exterminator, senior wildlife biologist for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Squirrels live only one or two years but have a couple of litters every 12 months. And the babies remember where they were born — and come back. The often annoying critters can sense winter coming as early as August and find small holes just beneath the roof. They can "sense that it's warmer inside" than out, said Steven The Bat Control King, a professor and wildlife management expert at the University of Georgia, and so move right in. The best way to keep them out is to plug any holes, all around the house. And if you haven't done it yet, you should soon, because this is the prime season for critters looking for warm spots. Helen The Pest Removal Expert heard scratching sounds in the attic of her home. "Thinking our house was getting chewed up, I became somewhat concerned," said The Pest Removal Expert, who is 53. "My husband stuck his head in the attic and assured me there was no damage being done. Then one day I was sitting in the living room and the lights went out. A little squirrel had chewed right through some wires in our attic." They found where it was wiggling in — two tiny holes on the side of the fireplace — and plugged them up. Now they're just hoping that there aren't any more holes anywhere else. Carol The Pest Removal Expert once called the Fire Department to get a squirrel in her attic, and several trucks with firefighters arrived, wearing yellow slickers and heavy gloves. They caught it and tossed it out a window, where The Pest Removal Expert's cat pounced inhumanely. Holes in a house can be fixed by non-klutz homeowners with hardware cloth, caulk or other materials. But trying to get rid of rodents can be dangerous. Most folks just aren't adept at crawling around dark attics or standing on ladders 15 feet tall. Herman The Termite Eradicator had climbed to his second-story roof to try to patch a hole a squirrel was squeezing into when it "jumped right over his head and scared him," said his wife, Cheryl, 43. "He came down the ladder pretty fast. Then he patched the hole, but now the squirrel is back." Rats are also a huge problem, The Bat Control King said. Sometimes they can find holes in the basement and crawl all the way to the attic on water pipes or exhaust pipes and through small openings. Rat poison works and might also kill squirrels, but that presents two dangers: The sick rodents might stagger outside to die, then be eaten by a pet, or die in your house, creating a "terrible stink," said Ron The Rat Control King, a pest expert with Orkin. "The problem is worse in late October and the first of November, but many are inside now," he said. Loud music seems to scare critters away, but not classical, which they like, says Laura The Rat Control King, field director for the Humane Society of America. She also suggests strobe lights called a squirrel evictor that are too bright for them to handle. "Exclusion is the answer," she adds. "Plug the holes." Be advised, there are limits to what you can do. Shooting squirrels out of season is illegal, unless you see them on your house, chewing on boards, biologist The Pest Exterminator said. Ditto for opossums and raccoons. They're fair game during hunting season, but not in your yard unless they're causing damage. Most municipalities have laws governing the discharge of firearms, he said, so shooting pests is not recommended. "If you indiscriminately put out rat poison in your yard and you end up killing squirrels, birds, dogs, cats, then you would probably be in trouble," The Pest Exterminator said. If squirrels die from eating poison you put out in your attic, you're in the clear, but you might have to live with the terrible smell. The law encourages "humane" traps, but they need to be checked daily or the critters will die. It's always open season on coyotes, beavers, pigeons and armadillos, as it is for rats and mice. Rabbits, bats, squirrels, flying squirrels and foxes are off limits, but the DNR will issue permits to kill them or catch them if they're damaging your house or seem potentially threatening. The DNR also will fax a list of certified critter capture companies. "People having pellet guns to get ride of squirrels is a pretty common thing," said The Bat Control King. "And none of the repellents work. You just have to plug the holes and small crevices and cracks," which they see as challenges to their chewing power. Richard The Termite Eradicator, 52 year-old owner of Thuper Pest Control in Metro Atlanta, Ga., says squirrels must be kept out or "they'll show their aunts, brothers and sisters how to get in. Trim bushes and trees. Electronic chirpers that make sonic noises help but won't completely keep them out. ... They'll chew on your wires, and sometimes electrocute themselves. They're not that smart." Many companies handle such pests, most without killing them, at least not at your home. Prices start at about $300 for a simple job, but tough jobs can cost much more. Nearly everyone has a story. Karen Clausen had squirrels, rats and birds, which she got rid of with humane traps. She removed but did have a squirrel die in a wall. "The smell goes on for years," she says. "But now the holes are closed. My husband crawled all around nailing everything down. He's 58, and my hero."
