NOT ALL WILDLIFE EXCLUSIONS ARE THE SAME!

This is the kind of work that turns our stomach — because it makes the entire wildlife-control industry look bad.

The photo you’re looking at is exclusion work completed by another wildlife-control company. We won’t name them. The problem speaks for itself.

The opening was larger than the piece of metal the technician had available. Instead of getting a properly sized piece of material and sealing the opening correctly, the metal was installed anyway — leaving a substantial gap ABOVE the repair.

That gap is large enough for a mouse, rat, or flying squirrel to enter.

And a squirrel? That exposed edge gives it something to get its teeth on, allowing it to chew and enlarge the opening until it can gain access too.

So what exactly was accomplished? … Absolutely Nothing.

The entire purpose of Wildlife Exclusion is to prevent animals from entering the structure. If you leave an opening large enough for wildlife to use, the exclusion is pointless.

This isn't just a crooked piece of metal or an ugly repair. It isn't simply inexperienced workmanship.

It is a blatant disregard for professional standards and for the homeowner who paid for the work to be done correctly.

This is also one of the reasons Southern Wildlife Management has intentionally remained a small, family-operated company. We don't want to grow by putting crews of unrelated technicians on the road and hoping they care about the finished product as much as we do.

We do our own exclusion work.

When our name is on it, we want to know who installed it, how it was installed, what materials were used, and whether that home is actually protected when we leave.

Wildlife Exclusion isn't about covering a hole with metal. It's about knowing wildlife, understanding how animals get into structures, and making sure there isn't another way back in. Not all exclusions are the same. And unfortunately, a piece of metal on your house doesn't necessarily mean your house has been wildlife-proofed. Yet, we were the ones that had to break it to the homeowners.

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.

Copperheads are a perfect example of just how well snakes can disappear into the North Georgia landscape. Their coloring allows them to blend almost perfectly with leaves, pine straw, mulch, rocks, and wooded areas—sometimes making them difficult to spot even when they are right in front of you.

For homeowners dealing with frequent snake activity, it can feel like a never-ending battle. But one of the most important things to understand is this:

Snakes usually aren’t showing up for no reason. They are following food.

One of the biggest attractants we see around North Georgia homes is bird feeders.

Bird seed doesn’t just attract birds. Seed scattered underneath feeders attracts mice, rats, squirrels, chipmunks, and other small animals. Once rodents discover an easy food source, snakes may eventually discover the rodents.

Bird Feeders → Rodents → Snakes

If you are trying to reduce snake activity around your property, removing bird feeders is one of the FIRST changes we recommend.
You can also help by keeping grass and vegetation maintained, cleaning up brush and debris, reducing hiding areas around the home, and addressing rodent activity before it becomes established.

We can never completely eliminate snakes from the North Georgia outdoors—and we shouldn’t expect to. They are part of our ecosystem. But we CAN make your property less attractive to the prey and conditions that continually bring them closer to your home.

Snake prevention often starts long before you ever see the snake.

CERTIFIED Honeybee Hive Removal & Relocation

Honeybees are essential pollinators—but when a colony builds inside a wall, attic, chimney, soffit, or other structural cavity, professional removal is important.

An established hive can leave behind honey, wax, comb, and strong colony scents. Over time, this may damage insulation or drywall, attract ants and other pests, and encourage future bees to investigate the same area.
Southern Wildlife Management provides Certified Honeybee Hive Removal Services using careful beekeeper methods—not extermination. Our specialists gently remove the bees, queen, and as much comb as possible so the colony can be relocated. Healthy colonies are donated to local beekeepers, helping protect Georgia’s honeybee population.

Our process includes:

🐝 Identifying the hive’s location and safest access point
🐝 Carefully extracting the queen, worker bees, and comb
🐝 Relocating the colony whenever possible
🐝 Temporarily covering the structural access opening
🐝 Sealing the bees’ exterior entry point when it can be identified

Georgia requires professionals removing honeybee colonies from structures to hold a Honeybee Hive Removal Certification through the Georgia Department of Agriculture. Our team is licensed, insured, and certified under Honeybee Hive Removal Certification SP19319.

From Duluth to Dawsonville, trust our local, family-owned company for careful, effective, and environmentally responsible Honeybee Hive Removal.

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.

The Heat is ON, and the "Buffet Line" is Open!

If you’ve noticed the cicadas getting louder lately, you’re not the only one listening. In the wildlife world, that buzzing isn't just a sign of summer—it’s a dinner bell.

When those cicadas emerge, they become a high-protein “fast food” source for Copperheads. During these hot summer months, Copperheads shift their schedules to become more nocturnal to beat the Georgia heat, and they’ll congregate in areas where prey is easy to catch.

What this means for your property: As the temperatures climb and the cicadas hatch, these snakes are out and actively hunting. It’s the perfect storm for increased sightings near your home, woodpiles, and landscaping.

How we can help:

Property Inspections: We can thoroughly search your yard to identify and safely remove any snakes that have taken up residence.

Professional Snake Repellent: Ask us about our effective snake repellent services designed to make your yard less inviting to unwanted visitors.

Control the "Buffet": Copperheads aren't just here for the cicadas; they’re also looking for rodents. We can help manage the rodent population around your home so you aren't inadvertently setting the table for a snake encounter.

Stay safe this summer:

Watch where you step: Especially in the evening or at night. Use a flashlight when walking your property.

Clear the clutter: Snakes love hiding in leaf litter, brush piles, and thick shrubs. Keep your lawn trimmed and clear debris away from the foundation.

If you’re concerned about snake activity around your property, give us a call. We are ready to help you secure your space and reclaim your yard.

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.
