Atlanta Rodent Control: Mice & Rat Extermination & Control
Rodents (such as mice, rats, chipmunks and squirrels) can enter a home through almost any opening or crack. It is important to inspect for mouse or other rodent droppings, especially in undisturbed areas such as pantries, under baseboards, in attics and along walls. Rodent droppings most often cause allergic reactions in human beings but can also cause disease, including the potentially deadly Hantavirus. More frequently, though, rodents serve as vectors, carrying bacteria, such as salmonella, on their bodies and contaminating food sources, kitchen surfaces and equipment. Arrow’s trained Atlanta rat & rodent control professionals can offer the expertise and knowledge of rodent extermination to best protect your health and rid your home of a rodent infestation.
Atlanta Pigeon & Bird Control
Pigeons are filthy birds and carry many other pests on them, such as fleas, ticks and mites, which pose their own health dangers to the public, including lime disease. Pigeons themselves are known to carry several diseases and can contaminate food, causing salmonella poisoning. Arrow’s trained pigeon and bird control specialists in Atlanta have the expertise and equipment necessary to rid your property of these creatures. We can not only safely eliminate the pigeons but can also help determine where and why these animals are infiltrating your property and how to eliminate the conducive conditions to prevent future problems.

Prevention Tips:
There are a number of pest-proofing measures that homeowners can take to protect their home and families from the threats posed by rodents and birds. Arrow’s Atlanta rodent and bird control specialists recommend the following:
Mice & Rodent Control Prevention Tips:
- Store boxes and containers off the floor and organize items often to prevent rodents from residing in undisturbed areas.
- Seal cracks and holes, including areas where utilities and pipes enter the home.
- Store food in thick metal or plastic containers with tight lids.
- Clean up spilled food right away immediately and wash dishes and cooking utensils soon after use.
- Keep outside cooking areas and grills clean.
- Do not leave pet food or water bowls out overnight.
- Keep bird feeders away from the house and use squirrel guards to limit access to the feeder by squirrels and other rodents.
- Use a thick plastic or metal garbage can with a tight lid and keep sealed at all times.
- Keep grains and animal feed in thick plastic or metal containers with tight lids. In the evening, return uneaten animal feed to containers with lids.
If you find rodent feces, hear sounds of scurrying in the walls or observe other signs of a rodent infestation, contact one of Arrow’s licensed rodent control specialists in Atlanta Georgia to inspect and treat the pest problem.
Bird Control Prevention Tips:
- Make sure to clean up food spills promptly and keep trashcans covered. By denying birds and pigeons of a continuous food source, they will seek shelter elsewhere.
- Seal or cover vents and gutters to deter birds.
- Install tightly strung wire or string just above the surface to prevent birds from nesting on ledges, eaves or windowsills.
