This is the government animal control services operating in DeKalb County and sponsored by the city of Decatur. This agency typically deals with domestic animal issues involving dogs and cats. This includes things like dangerous dogs, stray cats, pet adoptions, etc. However, this agency will sometimes lend assistance with wildlife concerns. Call 404-294-2939 and ask if they will assist with your wildlife problem. To increase the chance of success, do not lie, but if applicable, state that the problem is a public health matter in Decatur, or that you feel the public safety is at risk, perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases.
This is NOT a government agency. It is privately run, and operates on volunteer donations. This is a wildlife rehabber facility that deals strictly with wild animals. They may be able to help you with your wildlife problem, depending on the type of problem. The level of help might depend on their resources at the time. They will almost surely help in any case of an injured wild animal, or an orphaned baby animal, such as a baby squirrel or bird that fell out of a tree, or a baby opossum, etc. Please treat Decatur Wildlife Rehabilitation kindly and donate if you are able to.
This is the statewide government wildlife agency in Georgia, using your tax dollars to address wildlife issues. Sometimes called the Georgia Fish & Wildlife Agency. Georgia game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and yes, wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. But they also have resources that may apply to your wildlife problem. To increase the chance of success, state that the problem is a public health matter in Georgia perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases.
Yes, the Decatur police department will sometimes help with wildlife problems! I've seen many cases of the cops chasing down an errant bat in your house or snake in your pool! To increase the chance of success, never lie to the police dispatcher, but if applicable, state that you feel your personal safety is at risk, or the problem is a public safety matter in Decatur, or a public health issue perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases. Success may come down to whether or not a police officer wants to show up to this call, or is available. It's not always consistent.

Decatur Wildlife Tip:
Should I Poison Rodents? - A lot of people who find that they have a few rodents in their home wonder out loud "should I poison rodents?" The answer to that question is almost always a big no. There are more than a few reasons why poisoning a rodent in your home is a bad idea. The first one of those reasons is safety. If you have pets or small children either one of them could end up swallowing some of the poison which is life-threatening for either one of them. Using poison in those cases is not even one of the options you should consider.
There is also the fact that it is a bad idea. Some people believe that when poisoned the rodent go and die outside. That is not true and you should not believe it. The rodent will go directly to its hiding place and if that hiding place is in the wall or somewhere you cannot find it, then your home will smell like dead rodent for many days. The final reason not to use poison is because it is inhumane. Most people who use poison use mouse poison. That poison is not nearly enough what a rodent would need, so the poison that you gave the rodent only tortured it until the end.
