Southern Georgia & Northern Florida Wildlife Trapping & Exclusion
Finding out a wild animal has moved into your attic or crawlspace is never a great surprise. You might hear squirrels moving at first light or a raccoon making noise overhead late at night. Beyond the noise, these animals can damage insulation, wiring, and entry points around your home or place of business. At Astro Exterminating Services, we’ve been helping customers across Southern Georgia and Northern Florida deal with wildlife issues since 1969.
What we’ve learned over the years is simple: removing the animal is only part of the job; keeping them from getting back in is what actually solves the problem.

Wildlife Removal That Matches the Situation
When an animal gets inside, the first step is getting it out the right way. Different animals behave differently, and the approach needs to reflect that.
Raccoons & Opossums
Raccoons are strong, persistent, and known for tearing into roofs, soffits, or vents to get inside. Opossums usually settle into crawlspaces or under structures, where they can create odor and sanitation concerns. We use secure, species-appropriate trapping methods to remove them from your home.
Squirrels & Other Rodents
Squirrels are one of the most common attic intruders in this region. Once inside, they can chew through wood, insulation, and even electrical wiring. We track where they’re getting in and focus on those entry points while removing the active animals.
Other Common Wildlife
In our area, we also see animals like skunks and armadillos around homes. While they don’t always enter attics, they can cause damage around foundations, crawlspaces, and landscaping. We address these issues with the same focus: removal paired with long-term prevention.
Why Exclusion Matters More Than Trapping
Trapping handles what’s already inside. Exclusion is what keeps it from happening again.
Properties across this region naturally develop small gaps over time, wood softens in the humidity, vents loosen, and rooflines shift just enough to create openings. Once one animal finds a way in, others often follow the same path. That’s why we put a strong focus on sealing those access points as part of the process.
Sealing Entry Points Around Your Property
We go through the structure carefully, looking for the spots animals are most likely to use.
This typically includes:
- Roof and gable vents that can be pulled open or torn through
- Soffit and fascia gaps where squirrels often enter
- Pipe penetrations and foundation openings leading into crawlspaces
- Weak areas along the roofline or eaves
We reinforce these areas using durable materials designed to hold up against wildlife activity.
The goal is straightforward: close off the access points so the same issue doesn’t repeat itself.

Bat Removal Done the Right Way
Bats are common throughout the Georgia–Florida region and play an important role in controlling insect populations. But when they settle into an attic, they can create buildup from guano that affects insulation and air quality.
Because many bat species are protected, removal has to be handled carefully and at the right time of year. We use one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to leave at night but prevent them from returning. Once the colony has cleared out, we seal the entry points, so they don’t come back.
