Many of Georgia's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found
that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably,
these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire
hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies. We specialize in solving Georgia's
wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.
We handle every aspect of wildlife control. We are fully equipped to work on any project, large or small. Some of our services include:
We do not handle dog or cat problems. If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local Douglas county animal services
for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, spay & neuter programs, vaccinations, licenses,
pet adoption, bite reports, deceased pets, lost pets, local animal complaints and to report neglected or abused animals. There is no free Douglasville animal control for wildlife issues.

Do snakes live in holes?
Many types of snakes occupy different continents. Many snake species are found in Europe, Africa, Asia, America and Australia. The continents have favorable conditions unlike Antarctica which has very cold temperatures that do not favor snake survival. Snakes are always afraid of people and they tend to move as far as possible from people's residence. When snakes realize any activities near their home, they tend to move away. They love places with silence and no distractions from people. When people try to capture or corner the snakes they end up attacking them.
Where do snakes live?
You might have probably seen a snake and wondered where it lives. Snakes do not live near human residences. Snakes have different places that they can call home. Snakes can live in many places like deserts, lakes, marshes, mountains and also in caves. The snakes in captivity also have a shelter built for them. There are other snakes that do not live in specific homes but look for a place during cold weather. When it reaches cold weather, snakes tend to find places where they can be safe and yet not easily found. They also find where they can be warm and near water places where they can drink when they break from hibernating.
Do snakes live in holes?
Snakes live in habitats that provide sufficient shelter for them. During cold weather, they ensure that their shelter is in a place with warmth and far away from people as they hibernate. Snakes can burrow their bodies into the soil in sandy places which is not exactly a hole. Snakes however can live in holes.
Snakes do not have limbs, how then do they dig the holes they stay in? Snakes do not have limbs to dig, they still live in holes. This might be ironical but snakes do not dig holes. They can only dig in wet soils and still they do not dig deep holes. How then do they get the holes?
Snakes inhabit holes that have already been dug. They can inhabit holes that have already been dug by rodents. The holes might either be abandoned holes. The snakes can also eat the rodents and inhabit the holes. This becomes the snake's official home until it decides to abandon it and leave. The female snakes can also lay eggs in the holes and after that brood on them till they hatch.
There are many holes seen around in gardens and other places. How then can you know if a hole is inhabited by a snake? Not all holes you see around have snakes. Snake holes are unique to other holes in different places. Normally rodent holes might be identified due to presence of debris and spider webs on the entrance of the holes. Snake holes do not have this which makes them easy to identify. If you see strange holes in your backyard you should have it checked to remove snakes that might beharboring.
