Rats and mice are persistent invaders that pose serious threats to your home and family. They chew through wiring, contaminate insulation, and spread dangerous diseases. At A&A Wildlife and Home Solutions, we provide complete rodent control that goes far beyond simple trapping. Our proven approach integrates humane rodent removal, permanent exclusion, and full attic restoration to ensure rodents are gone for good and your home is fully repaired.
If you hear scratching in your attic, notice droppings in your kitchen, or suspect any rodent activity, acting fast is critical. A small mouse problem can escalate into a full-blown rat infestation in weeks. One female mouse can produce up to 35 babies per year.
The following sections detail each core component of your comprehensive service offering, starting with the necessity of full exclusion following removal.
Live trapping and humane removal of all existing rodents from your home, including attic, crawlspace, walls, and basement. Our technicians:
Identify nesting locations and travel routes
Place traps in strategic, high-activity areas
Monitor and clear traps daily
Remove all rodents, including trapped carcasses
Use species-specific strategies for rats vs. mice
Exclusion is the most critical element of rodent management. If a structure is fully protected, it often alleviates the need for continued trapping. After rodents are removed, we permanently seal every potential entry point using professional-grade materials:
Galvanized steel mesh for large gaps and vents
Copper mesh + expanding foam for small cracks and pipe penetrations
Custom-fit vent covers for crawlspace and attic vents
Door sweeps for garage and exterior doors
Roofline flashing repairs where rodents climb up siding
Weep hole screens to block entry while allowing airflow
Concrete patching for foundation cracks
Rats can squeeze through gaps as small as ½ inch. Mice need only ¼ inch — about the width of a pencil. Our exclusion work leaves no gap unsealed.
Rodents leave behind droppings, urine, parasites, and destroyed insulation — all health hazards. We restore your attic to better-than-before condition through:
HEPA vacuum removal of all contaminated insulation and debris
Hospital-grade disinfectant fogging to kill bacteria, viruses, and odors
Parasite treatment for fleas, ticks, and mites left behind
New insulation installation (fiberglass or spray foam)
Structural repairs for chewed wires, damaged drywall, and chewed framing
Rodents destroy more than insulation. Our restoration services also include:
Chewed wire replacement (fire prevention)
Drywall patching where rodents chewed through
Ductwork repair for HVAC contamination
Soffit and fascia repair at roofline entry points
Crawlspace cleaning and encapsulation
Rodents are secretive, especially during daylight hours. Here are seven indicators that suggest rats or mice have already moved into your home
Recognizing rodent activity early is vital. Hearing scratching noises at night is one of the clearest signs. The most common evidence includes:
Droppings – Mouse pellets are ¼ inch, dark and rice-shaped. Rat droppings are ½–¾ inch. Fresh droppings appear moist and dark.
Gnaw marks – Rodents constantly chew to file down their teeth. Look for damage on food packaging, electrical wires, wood, and plastic pipes.
Strange noises – Scratching, squeaking, or scurrying sounds coming from walls, ceilings, or floors — especially active between dusk and dawn.
Grease marks – Rats leave dark, greasy rub marks along walls and baseboards where they travel.
Nesting materials – Shredded paper, fabric, or insulation in hidden areas like attic corners or crawlspaces.
Musty odors – A persistent ammonia-like or musty smell from rodent urine and droppings accumulating in wall voids or insulation.
Unusual pet behavior – Dogs or cats fixating on a particular wall, cabinet, or area — they hear and smell what you cannot.
If you notice any of these signs, do not wait. A small infestation grows exponentially.
We don't cut corners. Every rodent job follows the same proven system: inspect, remove, exclude, restore. Here's how we make your home rodent-proof permanently.
Licensed specialist inspects attic, crawlspace, roofline, and foundation to identify entry points, nesting sites, and damage.
Live trapping and one-way doors remove all rats and mice – no poisons, no carcasses in walls.
Every gap ¼ inch or larger is sealed with steel mesh, copper wool, vent covers, and roofline repairs.
HEPA vacuum removal of contaminated insulation, disinfectant fogging, and new insulation installed.
Trapping alone treats the symptom, not the cause. Permanent protection requires sealing your home against future invaders.
Most pest control companies stop at trapping. They remove the visible rodents and leave. Within weeks, new rats or mice find the same entry points, and you are paying again for the same problem.
Exclusion is the first line of defense against rodents, a preventative strategy that uses pest-proof materials to seal areas where pests can enter. Rodent proofing doors, holes, and gaps is a job for professionals. Understanding the subtle differences between rat removal and proactive rodent control that prevents entry is key.
At A&A Wildlife, we are exclusion-first rodent control specialists. We do not close a job until your home is physically rodent-proof. Every gap ¼ inch or larger is sealed with professional-grade materials — galvanized steel mesh, copper wool, custom vent covers, and roofline flashing that matches your existing home.
Rats and mice are more than a nuisance – they are a direct threat to your family's health and your home's safety. Here is what is at stake.
Rodents carry hantavirus, salmonella, leptospirosis, and rat-bite fever. Their droppings and urine contaminate the air you breathe inside your home.
Rodents constantly gnaw on electrical wires. Exposed copper leads to short circuits and house fires – a leading cause of attic fires nationwide.
They chew through wood framing, drywall, insulation, and even PVC pipes. Repairs often cost thousands of dollars.
Fleas, ticks, and mites live on rodents. When rodents enter your home, these parasites spread to your pets and family members.
Rodent droppings and urine soak into attic insulation, creating musty odors and releasing allergens that trigger asthma attacks.
Rodents chew through food packaging in pantries and garages, contaminating supplies with urine, droppings, and bacteria.
When you search for “rodent control near me” or “rat removal near me,” you want a local company that responds fast. We are based right here in North Atlanta and can be at your door within hours.
If you are hearing scratching in your attic or finding droppings in your kitchen, you need rodent removal services immediately – not next week. That is why being truly local matters. We dispatch technicians daily across Cumming, Suwanee, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, Buford, Duluth, Roswell, Woodstock, Canton, Gainesville, and surrounding areas.
When you search for “rodent exclusion near me” or “mouse exterminator near me,” you are looking for a company that knows your neighborhood’s common entry points – the roofline gaps typical in Alpharetta homes, the crawlspace vents common in Cumming, or the foundation cracks seen in Johns Creek. We know these patterns because we live and work here.
Our average response time for a free rodent inspection is under 90 minutes. No call centers. No franchises. Just local, licensed wildlife specialists who will permanently seal your home against rats and mice.
Answers to common questions about rodent removal, exclusion, costs, and insurance coverage.
Yes. We provide a 100% free, no-obligation inspection that includes a written report with photos of entry points, rodent activity, and damage. You only pay when you approve work.
Most residential rodent control jobs range from 1,500, depending on infestation severity, number of entry points, and whether attic restoration is needed. We provide a fixed price upfront — no hourly surprises.
Often, yes — especially when rodents cause structural damage like chewed wires, torn insulation, or roofline breaches. We provide detailed documentation and photos to help you file a claim. Check your specific policy, as some exclude pest control services.
Rodent removal captures and removes existing rodents from your home. Rodent exclusion seals all entry points to prevent future rodents from entering. Exclusion is the only long-term solution. We perform both.
No. We never use poisons. Poison can cause secondary poisoning to pets and wildlife, and rodents that die inside walls create severe odor problems requiring wall demolition. We use humane trapping and exclusion methods only.
Most infestations are resolved within 7–14 days, including initial trapping, follow-up visits, exclusion repairs, and attic restoration. Severe infestations may require additional time.
Yes. We have extensive experience with severe rat and mouse infestations in attics, crawlspaces, and commercial properties. Our multi-catch traps and colony exclusion methods are designed for large populations.
All exclusion work comes with a minimum 1-year warranty. If a rodent re-enters through a sealed point, we repair it at no charge.
See real jobs as they happen – from attic cleanouts to roofline repairs. We post daily photos and videos of actual wildlife exclusions, before/after transformations, and tips for Atlanta homeowners.
