BAT MATERNITY SEASON IS OVER — WHICH MEANS BAT EVICTIONS CAN BEGIN!

This is the time of year we’ve been waiting for!

During Bat Maternity Season, bats are protected for a very good reason. Female bats gather in maternity colonies to give birth and raise their pups, and those babies are unable to fly for several weeks. Evicting the adults too early can leave flightless babies trapped inside an attic with no way to survive.

Now that maternity season has ended, we can humanely evict bats from homes without the fear of leaving flightless babies behind.
At Southern Wildlife Management, our goal is simple:

✅ Get the bats OUT
✅ Keep the bats from getting back IN
✅ Do it QUICKLY & HUMANELY
✅ Complete the process without harming the bats

Bats are an important part of our ecosystem, and they deserve to be protected. They just don’t need to be living in your attic!
And speaking of Bat Exclusion… I have to share something that absolutely floored me.

We recently gave a homeowner in Blue Ridge, Georgia an estimate for Bat Exclusion. They told us our estimate was MORE THAN $10,000 LESS than the estimate they received from a national franchise.

TEN. THOUSAND. DOLLARS. LESS. 😳

At first I was shocked. Then, quite frankly, I got angry.

I understand that EVERYTHING is more expensive today. Materials cost more. Insurance costs more. Labor costs more. Running a legitimate, licensed wildlife company costs more.

BUT COME ON!!!!!

There is a difference between charging enough to operate a professional business and handing a homeowner an astronomical estimate because they’re scared, have bats living above their heads, and don’t know what the service should reasonably cost.
We’ve been a local, family-owned North Georgia wildlife company for more than 15 years. We know how to solve bat problems, we know how to properly Bat-Proof a home, and we believe homeowners deserve professional work at a FAIR price.

If you’ve been told you have bats and received an estimate that made your jaw hit the floor, GET ANOTHER ESTIMATE.
Seriously.

A bat problem needs to be handled correctly — but protecting your home should not require taking out a second mortgage.

Protect your home from aggressive stinging insects! 🐝⚠️

Did you know Yellowjackets and European Hornets commonly establish massive colonies inside walls, eaves, attics, and soffits? Unlike bees, these stinging pests can build huge nests behind your drywall, chew through structural materials, and become extremely aggressive if disturbed.

At Southern Wildlife Management, we specialize in Complete Hive & Nest Removal Services. We don't just spray the surface—we locate the main nest, safely remove the entire colony. Spraying the entrance WILL drive them deeper into the wall and could force them to chew through the drywall and breach the home.

Why Choose Southern Wildlife Management?

- 15+ Years of Experience: As a local, family-owned business, we’ve spent over a decade and a half keeping North Georgia homes safe.

- Safe & Professional: Expert handling to prevent painful stings and protect your property.

Proudly Serving North Georgia: Johns Creek | Alpharetta | Duluth | Cu***ng | Milton | Suwanee | Dacula | Dawsonville (and everywhere in between!)

If you hear buzzing in your walls or notice hornets coming & going into the wall on the outside of your home - don't delay.

We take the time to do a thorough inspection and assess your specific situation. This allows us to determine the exact target pests and devise a pest control program to get rid of them. Our pest control service will utilize habitat modifications & controls (biological, cultural, mechanical controls) with the right amount of pesticides in the proper locations to remedy the problem. This approach is called Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and is present in every aspect of our pest control service. In other words, we look at the big picture and use the existing resources & tools combined with minimal pesticides to remedy the situation. Following the IPM standards, with our pest control service all materials are selected and applied in a manner that minimizes risks to human health, beneficial and non-target organisms, and the environment. All of our services can be tailored to suit any BUDGET & NEED. Talk to us! We offer typical household pest control services on a bi-monthly, or quarterly basis.

This Is What We Protect.

Bats are a protected species, but the law should not be the only reason we handle them responsibly.

When a bat colony has flightless babies, that space is functioning as a maternity ward. Evicting the mothers before the pups can fly can leave babies trapped inside, separate families, and create an even larger problem within the structure.

There is a right way and a wrong way to perform Bat Removal. Responsible wildlife control means understanding the bat maternity season, waiting until the young are able to fly, and then completing a professional Bat Exclusion that protects the home without harming the colony.

At Southern Wildlife Management, our decisions are guided by more than regulations. They are guided by experience, humane practices, and respect for the wildlife we are trusted to manage.

Today, Southern Wildlife Management performed another difficult overhead honeybee hive removal in the Sugar Mill subdivision of Johns Creek. This active honeybee colony was built high along the exterior of the home, requiring extensive ladder work and specialized honeybee hive removal techniques to safely access and remove the hive from the structure.

Talk about brutal work… holding your arms over your head for extended periods while balancing on a ladder is exhausting enough by itself. Add active honeybees, heavy honeycomb, awkward working angles, Georgia heat, and trying to carefully remove a live colony without damaging the home, and it becomes one of the most physically demanding wildlife jobs we perform.

Removing honeybee hives from elevated rooflines, soffits, fascia gaps, and upper exterior walls can be extremely challenging due to the height, active bee traffic, comb weight, and limited access. Certified honeybee hive removal is important because colonies hidden inside homes can eventually lead to staining, odors, melting honeycomb, structural damage, and can even attract ants, roaches, rodents, and future swarms if the hive is not completely removed.

One thing many people may not realize is that we try our absolute best to avoid treating or exterminating honeybee colonies whenever possible. In fact, we typically refuse chemical hive treatments unless the hive is completely inaccessible and there is truly no other safe option available. Our goal is always to physically remove the hive and donate the colony to a local beekeeper so the bees can continue living and pollinating.

The reality is that properly removing a honeybee colony from a home is often much more difficult and expensive than people expect. Modern home construction can make it extremely challenging to safely pe*****te walls, soffits, or rooflines deeply enough to fully access the hive and make contact with the queen bee. Partial removals or incomplete treatments usually create even larger problems later.

We fully understand that having to pay for live honeybee hive removal can create financial hardship for homeowners. We truly do. But as humans, we also have an inherent responsibility to protect pollinators whenever possible. Honeybees play a critical role in agriculture, gardens, food production, and the environment as a whole. Sometimes preserving a colony is financially painful, but doing our part to help keep pollinators alive is simply the right thing to do.

Our team regularly handles honeybee removal, swarm removal, and bee hive extraction throughout Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Duluth, Milton, and surrounding North Georgia areas using safe and professional removal methods.

THE SMART WAY TO PROTECT YOUR HOME FROM WILDLIFE IN NORTH GEORGIA

If you’ve lived in North Georgia for any amount of time, you already know—wildlife and pest issues are not a matter of IF, but WHEN. Between rodents, carpenter bees, mosquitoes, snakes, and everyday household pests, your home is constantly under pressure from multiple angles.

After 15+ years in the field, one thing is clear: the most effective approach is not reacting to problems—it’s preventing them. That’s exactly why we built our WILDLIFE & PEST PREVENTION BUNDLE.

We might not be the absolute cheapest, but our pricing is very competitive—and our level of service, detail, and effectiveness is what sets us apart. This is a family business. Everyone who steps onto your property is a partner in the company and has a vested interest in the success of our programs.

Most homeowners don’t call until something becomes obvious. You see a snake, notice bees drilling into wood, hear scratching in the attic, or your yard becomes overrun with mosquitoes. By that point, you’re already behind. A recurring prevention program changes that. We’re consistently on your property, catching issues early and addressing multiple problem areas before they turn into bigger, more expensive problems.

This is not a quick spray-and-go service. Our approach is built around INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT, meaning we identify the target species, treat the source, focus on exterior control first, and minimize unnecessary exposure inside your home. We take the time to do it right—because that’s what actually works long term.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE WILDLIFE & PEST PREVENTION BUNDLE:

• INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT – The foundation. Designed to stop ants, roaches (excluding German roaches), spiders, silverfish, earwigs, and scorpions BEFORE they enter your home. Our goal is to eliminate the pests outside the home before they get inside. Less pesticide applications on the inside - healthier home!

• MOSQUITO CONTROL (SEASONAL)– We use mosquito stations that continue working after we leave, targeting both adults and larvae to break the breeding cycle—not just provide temporary relief while we are there. It keeps going long after we are gone.

• CARPENTER BEE PROGRAM – Custom built traps, strategic placement, baiting, and sealing competing holes to reduce activity and protect your wood over time. Replaced every year!

• RODENT PREVENTION – Exterior-focused control using tamper-resistant bait stations that are monitored, rotated, and maintained for long-term effectiveness. It is critical to keep the population under control.

• SNAKE CONTROL (SEASONAL) – Snake Repellent (last up to 3 months) customized for us (no Naphthalene which is on the CDC list as cancer causing), while there we search and remove any snakes found during our visit. The goal is to keep snakes moving—not settling on your property.

Every part of this program is designed specifically for North Georgia—seasonal patterns, local wildlife behavior, and the issues we see year after year. This is not a generic service.

WHY WE BUNDLE IT
These problems don’t exist in isolation. Rodents attract snakes. Moist environments attract insects. Wood damage invites bees. Outdoor pressure eventually becomes indoor problems. Bundling makes everything more effective. Because we’re already on your property, we’re able to do more during each visit and stay ahead of issues instead of reacting to them. It also saves you money by combining multiple services into one trip.

• Rodent bait stations are checked and kept full more often, making them more effective
• Carpenter bee traps are emptied, adjusted, and maintained as needed
• Treatments stay on schedule without gaps
• If we see a snake during a visit, we remove it at NO EXTRA CHARGE

The result is simple: more coverage, more consistency, and better long-term control.

THE BOTTOM LINE
You can handle these issues one at a time… or you can stay ahead of them. This program covers the most common, most costly, and most recurring problems we see in North Georgia—and does it in a way that’s structured, efficient, and proven over time.

OUR BUNDLED HOME PROTECTION PLAN includes Pest Control, Rodent Control, Mosquito Control, Carpenter Bee Program, and Snake Control.

If you want to protect your home the right way and avoid constant one-off issues, this is the program we stand behind. We combine a full year of services—including all initial visits and setups—and spread the cost into 12 manageable monthly payments. In following years, the pricing is reduced even further.
