Worried about wildlife near your home in Georgia, perhaps even a fawn doe in areas like Augusta-Richmond County, Athens-Clarke County, Sandy Springs, or Roswell? Our state's diverse landscapes, from the mountains to the coast, mean wildlife activity is year-round, but certain seasons bring unique challenges. We understand the concerns that come with sharing your space with animals.
Georgia's humid subtropical climate means wildlife is active throughout much of the year, though spring and summer often see an increase in young animals like fawns, and fall brings them preparing for winter. This constant activity means homeowners in areas from the metro Atlanta sprawl to the more rural corners of the state can encounter unexpected guests. The housing stock here, a mix of older homes with crawl spaces and newer constructions with attics, provides ample opportunities for animals to find shelter.
