Live Trapping

---

When wildlife invades your Georgia property, removing animals safely and humanely is essential. Elite Wildlife Solutions specializes in live trapping—a proven method that captures nuisance animals without harm, allowing for proper relocation while protecting your family, pets, and property from damage.

What Is Live Trapping?

Live trapping uses specially designed cages and traps that capture animals unharmed. Unlike lethal methods, live trapping allows us to safely remove wildlife from your property while adhering to Georgia wildlife regulations and ethical treatment standards. Our humane approach prioritizes animal welfare while permanently solving your wildlife problems.

Why Choose Live Trapping?

Humane and Ethical: Live trapping causes no suffering to animals. Captured wildlife remains unharmed and can be relocated to appropriate habitats away from residential areas.

Safe for Your Family: Live traps securely contain animals, preventing dangerous encounters during removal. You won't risk bites, scratches, or the transmission of disease that can occur during direct animal contact.

Compliant with Regulations: Georgia wildlife laws require humane treatment of many species. Our licensed professionals ensure all trapping and relocation follow state and federal regulations.

Effective Long-Term Solution: When combined with exclusion services, live trapping provides permanent relief from wildlife intrusions. We don't just remove the current animals—we prevent future invasions.

Animals We Trap

Our live trapping services target common Georgia nuisance wildlife:

• •Raccoons entering attics, chimneys, and crawlspaces
• •Squirrels (gray and flying) nesting in structures
• •Opossums denning under decks and sheds
• •Groundhogs burrowing near foundations
• •Armadillos are destroying lawns and gardens
• •Feral cats are creating colonies on properties
• •Skunks living under structures

Each species requires specific trap types, bait selection, and handling techniques. Our experience with Georgia wildlife ensures successful captures while minimizing animal stress.

Our Live Trapping Process

1\. Property Inspection: We conduct thorough inspections to identify active wildlife, entry points, damage extent, and optimal trap locations. Understanding animal behavior and travel patterns ensures strategic trap placement for maximum effectiveness.

2\. Custom Trap Selection: Different animals require different traps. We select appropriate trap sizes, types, and bait based on target species, ensuring humane capture while avoiding non-target animals.

3\. Strategic Trap Placement: Proper trap positioning is critical for success. We place traps along established travel routes, near entry points, or at active feeding areas. Our experts understand wildlife behavior, dramatically increasing capture rates.

4\. Daily Monitoring: Georgia regulations and ethical standards require frequent trap checks. We monitor traps at least once daily, often more frequently, ensuring captured animals aren't left in distress.

5\. Safe Animal Handling: Captured wildlife can be stressed and defensive. Our trained professionals handle animals safely, protecting both the animals and anyone nearby during trap removal.

6\. Proper Relocation: We relocate captured wildlife to approved areas far from residential properties, following all Georgia Department of Natural Resources guidelines. Animals are released in suitable habitats where they can thrive without causing human conflicts.

7\. Follow-Up Services: After removal, we inspect for additional animals, seal entry points, and implement exclusion measures preventing re-entry. Complete solutions address both current infestations and future prevention.

Why Live Trapping Works

Live trapping succeeds where other methods fail because it addresses root causes rather than symptoms. Captured animals are permanently removed from your property, not just scared away temporarily. When combined with exclusion work, live trapping provides guaranteed long-term results.

Our professional approach ensures:

• •Faster resolution than DIY attempts
• •Safety for your family and pets
• •Legal compliance with wildlife regulations
• •Humane treatment meets ethical standards
• •Complete removal of all problem animals
