If you have any questions about the wildlife of Marietta, 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 Marietta 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 Marietta 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 Smart Solutions Wildlife Removal at 404-609-4280.

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.

Marietta Wildlife Tip
If You Hear A Rodent, Basement Inspection May Be Necessary - Rodents roam around all day long. So, if you hear noises in your basement during the day, then you are probably hearing a rodent rather than a rat or a mouse. The latter two are nocturnal critters while the rodent prefers to sleep at night. It may not be so easy to catch a rodent in the basement. They can hide well and run and jump even better. If you suspect the presence of a rodent, basement doors must be closed so that the rodent cannot use the door to escape from your basement into your house.

The best thing for you to do is to try to chase it out the same portal from which it entered. If that is futile, then get a live trap and try to catch it. Once you have in in captivity, take the rodent far from your home and let it go. It will find a new home somewhere else. In the meantime, you have a job of locating and closing the entrance the rodent used to get into your basement. This should be a deterrent for additional animals to try to become non-paying lodgers in your house. You can also make sure there is nothing around your home that attracts rodents, like bird feeders or dog food.

Marietta, GA Wildlife News Clip:
Georgia Wildlife Control Emails: Dude, your site is awesome and helped me SO MUCH. I just did get rid of a raccoon in an attic above my kitchen. We used a live trap and some tuna and caught it and then took it over 10 miles away and released it into the forest preserve. I am in the process of looking for a company to go up in there now and remove all the insulation and shit that this thing left up there. I was considering putting on a mask, gloves and going up there and doing it myself, but after reading your site I'm thinking maybe I should let professionals do it. YOU HAVE BALLS man. lol Some of your pics are freaken cool. I wouldn't be getting anywhere near some of the animals and creatures you are holding. LOL If I hadn't caught the thing myself, I would have flown you up to Marietta to get it for me dude. I think we actually got her JUST BEFORE she was going to have her babies, so I'm happy about that. I got my insurance check and now i have to start all the clean up and repairs. What a pain in the ass. Anyway, just wanted to say, VERY cool site. It helped me a lot and I wish you the best in your business. Looks like you do a great job bud. Very cool. By the way, you're a HOT GUY also!! :) Later man, David (same name) lol

Hey there, Yeah, I know. I have been listening and listening VERY closely every night. Trying to hear if there is any sign of babies in there. Nothing so far in the week since we captured the mother. Dude, I was looking at all your pics and reading all the stories about the jobs you have done. I was LAUGHING MY ASS off reading about you trying to capture the armadillo by hand!! LOL Also, got a little pissed reading about how that store stiffed you payment for the job you did for them. Did they EVER end up paying you? I'll have to call those bastards and give them a piece of my mind. I see you went to ND. I live about an hour and a half from there on the South Side of Marietta. Anyway, I really have learned a lot reading your web site. I think you probably give people TOO MUCH info on how to catch and get rid of pests. You may actually be showing them all your secrets and then they don't have to hire you. LOL But you look like you are VERY good at what you do, and to be honest, even having the knowledge of how to do what you do, I wouldn't have the guts in most cases!! LOL Anyway, I did contact one of the companies you suggested in my area for the clean up. After reading everything, I decided not to try to get up there and clean it out myself. Thanks for the response bud. Have a good one.

Those are actually the guys that I have coming out Monday night to give me a quote for the cleanup. I got their number from your web site. My Insurance company said they would give me some recommendations for companies to do the cleanup, but I haven't gotten them from them yet, so just decided to take matters in my own hands and was searching online today when I found your site. In my case, I want ALL of the insulation above my kitchen removed, and the place decontaminated before we put new insulation back in. We have rolled insulation, not blown in, so should be a little easier, but still a messy job. Like I said, I was considering pocketing the insurance money and doing it myself, but I really don't know if I want to do that now. We'll see what price your buds give me on Monday. Thanks man

Hey dude. I used your buddies up here in the Marietta south burbs. They cleaned out my attic and sprayed in the decontaminate stuff. They did a good job, and a few days later I did the blow in Insulation myself, and everything has been repaired. My attic is like Fort Knox now. lol Thanks again for your help. The information on your site was VERY helpful. So I went through your FAQ page of questions that you normally get asked. EX. "do you ever get bitten", "do you use poisen", "are you insured" "aren't you too young"? ALL OF THOSE. So has anyone ever asked you if you are married? LOL
