If you have any questions about the wildlife of Athens-Clarke, you can contact the Georgia Wildlife Commission, sometimes called the Georgia Fish & Wildlife Agency. Georgia game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and Athens-Clarke wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. If you have a problem with nuisance wildlife in Athens-Clarke like squirrels, snakes, bats, or raccoons, the state agency is very unlikely to help. You need to hire a private company (here are their prices) such as Byram Wildlife Removal at 678-809-6635.

Georgia is a very hot, humid state, even in the regions of the north where mountains dot the landscape. It is full of lush vegetation, and has a variety of habitats. This state not only has tall, majestic forests, it also has Okefenokee Swamp, a 438,000 acre wetland on the Georgia-Florida border. As you might imagine, this swamp is home to a variety of creatures. These creatures, however, aren't just reptiles and amphibians. The marsh is made up of both wet and dry land, and mammals abound within its protected space. Okefenokee Swamp has black bears, white-tailed deer, and otters. It does, of course, have its fair share of water moccasin snakes, alligators, and turtles.

The rest of Georgia is also full of animals, and because the weather is so warm all year long, there is an abundance of reptiles and cold-blooded creatures not found in the northern states. Warm weather is also ideal for birds, and these birds can range in size from small robins to giant creatures with 8-foot wingspans.

Common pest animals in Georgia include armadillos, black bears, beavers, geese, coyotes, deer, wild hogs, rats, raccoons, squirrels, woodpeckers, and foxes. Not only do these animals enjoy what the warm temperatures have to offer as far as comfort, many of them live on the eggs and offspring from the array of reptiles, birds, and amphibians. Raccoons, in particular, are known to be raiders of nests in the hunt for eggs.

While there is an abundance of food year round for the creatures in this state, the human population of Georgia is so dense, contact with animals is inevitable. As people spread out into the wilds, animals find new ways to come by easy meals and easy shelter. Raccoons won't hesitate to leave the woods in favor of an attic when breeding season comes around, and all pest animals make special note of the homes that have garbage or food lying around outside.

In a state like Georgia, having small pest animals in the yard can eventually draw in larger predators. People living near bodies of water where alligators reside will regret having a plethora of small mammals lounging around the yard. It won't take long be the gator makes a mental note about where to get an easy meal.

Athens-Clarke Wildlife Tip
Rodent Chewing Wire Means A Safety Hazard - Have you asked yourself why rodents chew anything they are able to? It is because their teeth grow very fast, so they have to continuously sharpen and shorten them. This is bad news for homeowners, since rodents can easily get inside your house and destroy your insulation system and create a dangerous safety hazard by chewing on your electrical wires.

There have been instances where rodents have chewed through electrical wires inside a home and sparked a huge fire. This results in lots of damages to the home that are expensive to repair. This makes it even more important to make sure that your home is rodent-proof. Or as soon as you realize that you have a rodent problem, take immediate steps to remove them from your home before they create a serious problem. To make it impossible for a rodent to chew through your wires, there are plenty of products that serve as wire coverings, such as the split wire loom or spiral cable wrap. Another option is to place red pepper around your wires, since rodents are repelled by this smell. You should also address how the rodents are getting in in the first place and this will help eliminate the concern as well.

Athens-Clarke, GA Wildlife News Clip:
Wildlife - Controversy erupts over Athens woodchuck and beaver exterminating

Mr. The snake identification picture expert said he's not against hand capturing and respects the rights of private landowners, but he is frustrated with the few "Elmer Fudd types" who figure hand capturing is a personal right to create a game farm. For more on Athens wildlife, read on.

"No one has the right to use our created and controlled areas (like the Dundas Valley) to funnel and shoot these docile creatures (house rat and mouse) as they return from the valleys to their own areas," he said. Snakes and coyotes are not all mean.

Mr. The snake identification picture expert has even found one illegal woodchuck and beaver stand on the property he maintains but someone has since removed it. Mr. The snake identification picture expert began counting the number of tree stands after one neighbour complained of hearing gunshots late at night. He noticed mowed trails and saw intricately camouflaged blinds set up along where woodchuck and beaver paths converged. Remember to treat the wild animals of Athens, Georgia, with respect and care.

He became aware that food was set out under tree stands allowing Bug sprayers to bring their quarry within metres of being shot. Taking action, Mr. The snake identification picture expert invited a reporter from the Ancaster News to tour the property he caretakes last week. While on the property three gunshots were heard. Hooray for wild creatures and critters!

The longer and earlier blackpowder and animal control critter catching periods in the Eastern section draw fur trappers not only around Georgia but from other states - especially those in the northeast. Gil The wildlife management expert of the Oconeechee Lodge in Northampton County and Kenny Deloatch of Meherrin River Outfitters in Hertford County said that a high percentage of their fur trappers come from states in the northeast where fox and coyote animal exterminating is extremely popular but where the critter catching period starts much later and is much shorter, including Pennsylvania and New York. Pennsylvania fur trappers coming south. Continued next week ...Athens Wildlife.
