Wildlife Removal in Auburn, GA
Auburn sits right on the county line: Gwinnett-style neighborhoods filling in on one side, Barrow pasture and fencerows on the other, and a small old railroad-town core in between. Animals cross that line every night. Call us and tell us about the job — we will confirm the local crew for your county before any work starts.
Why Auburn homes see the wildlife they do
Few towns in the region are split the way Auburn is. The town grew up as a small stop on the railroad, and today its limits reach across the Gwinnett–Barrow county line. Drive a couple of miles and you pass from rows of new homes built close together, the kind of growth that has been rolling east out of Gwinnett for years, into open Barrow country: hay fields, cattle pasture, fencerows and wooded creek draws. The two sides look nothing alike. The wildlife treats them as one place.
That seam is where most Auburn calls come from. The animals live in the farm side's cover and feed and nest on the subdivision side. A raccoon working a pasture fencerow at dusk is on a back deck by midnight. Squirrels hop from one close-set roof to the next. Field mice and roof rats move out of hay and brush into garages and crawlspaces. In the old core, older crawlspace houses have had decades for their vents, soffits and foundation openings to loosen up. Each setting gives an animal a different way in. What you need to know is which one your house offers.
Our crew sees the same few entry points here again and again: gable vents, ground and crawlspace vents, and construction gaps that were left out of sight when the house went up. The job is to get the animal out humanely and within Georgia law, then close those openings with metal so the repair lasts as long as the house does. With farm country pressing right against new neighborhoods, trapping without sealing just makes room for the next animal. The licensed pro who covers Barrow County handles the whole job, from inspection to final seal.
Wildlife we remove in Auburn
Whichever side of the county line your Auburn house sits on, these are the animals that show up most, and why.
🐿️ Squirrels
The most common Auburn attic call. Squirrels use fencerow oaks and the close-set roofs of newer streets as a highway, then slip in through a gable vent or a builder's gap. Light running in the morning and late afternoon is the tell, and flying squirrels take the night shift. See our full Auburn squirrel removal guide →
🦝 Raccoons
Farm ponds and creek draws on the Barrow side feed them, and subdivision trash cans and pet food keep them close. An attic raccoon sounds like a dog walking overhead. Georgia lists it as a rabies-vector species, so it is removed, not relocated.
🐀 Roof rats & field mice
Mice move in low from hay, brush and pasture edges, and roof rats climb brick and siding to get in high. Both breed all year in this climate. Bait won't stop the next wave; sealing the openings will.
🦇 Bats
Pasture and farm ponds produce the night insects bats eat, and a loose gable vent makes a good roost. The first clue is usually droppings on the ground or a ledge right below where they get in. Bats are protected, and exclusion waits until the April 1 – July 31 pup season is over.
🐍 Snakes
Fencerows, hay bales, rock piles and the graded edges of new lots all hold snakes and the mice they eat. Most turn out to be harmless rat snakes. The copperhead is the venomous one you are realistically likely to meet. Killing a non-venomous snake is illegal in Georgia.
🦔 Armadillos & diggers
New sod laid on graded lots and soft pasture soil are both easy digging, and armadillos root them overnight for grubs and worms, leaving cone-shaped holes. They can't be baited and don't care about repellents, so the trap has to go where they actually walk.
🐾 Opossums & skunks
A crawlspace with a loose vent screen, an older core house especially, makes an easy den, and so does the space under a new deck. Skunks are a rabies-vector species. The animal comes out, any young are found, and the opening is screened with metal.
