Rodent Control & Removal for Rats and Mice
Dixie Exterminators provides professional rodent control, rat removal, mouse control, rodent proofing, and exclusion services for homes across Marietta and Metro Atlanta. Our goal is not only to remove active rodents, but to identify how they entered, seal the structure, and help prevent them from coming back.
Long-Term Rodent Protection

Rat & Mouse Removal
We identify rodent activity, locate nesting areas, and use targeted removal methods for rats and mice inside the home.
Rodent Proofing
Exclusion work helps close gaps, vents, utility penetrations, roofline openings, and other access points rodents use to enter.
Local Wildlife Team
Our Marietta-based wildlife and pest team understands the rodent pressure found in Metro Atlanta homes and neighborhoods.
Rodent Removal & Exclusion
A Complete Approach to Rodent Control
Rodent control requires more than setting traps. Rats and mice can enter through small gaps around rooflines, vents, crawl spaces, foundations, garages, utility penetrations, and doors. Once inside, they can damage insulation, wiring, pipes, stored belongings, and food areas.
Dixie Exterminators combines inspection, targeted removal, sanitation guidance, and structural exclusion to address both the active infestation and the access points that allowed rodents inside. This long-term approach is designed to protect your home after the immediate problem is removed.

Rodent Services
Rodent Control Services Homeowners Commonly Need
Our rodent control services are designed for the full problem: active rodents, hidden entry points, nesting areas, contamination, and the conditions that attract rats and mice.
Rat Removal
We inspect for Norway rats, roof rats, droppings, travel paths, nesting materials, and roof or crawl space access points before recommending the right removal plan.
Mouse Control
Mice can squeeze through very small gaps and spread quickly indoors. Our technicians identify entry points, nesting areas, and food sources that support mouse activity.
Rodent Exclusion
Exclusion work may include sealing gaps, screening vents, reinforcing crawl space doors, improving garage door corners, and closing utility penetrations.
Attic & Crawl Space Inspection
Rodents often nest in insulation, crawl spaces, wall voids, and attic areas. We inspect for droppings, urine odor, chewing damage, nests, and active routes.
Cleanup Recommendations
When rodent contamination is present, cleanup and insulation replacement may be recommended to reduce odor, sanitation concerns, and lingering damage.
Prevention Guidance
We help homeowners reduce attractants like unsecured trash, outdoor pet food, clutter, dense vegetation, and roofline access from overhanging branches.
Rodent Proofing Matters
Why Exclusion Is Critical for Long-Term Control
Trapping can remove active rodents, but exclusion is what helps stop new rodents from replacing them. Rats and mice are persistent, excellent climbers, and capable of chewing through weak materials. A complete rodent control plan must address the structure itself.
- Seal gaps around utility lines, pipes, and HVAC penetrations
- Screen roof vents, gable vents, and crawl space vents
- Repair garage door corners, worn seals, and door sweeps
- Reinforce openings with chew-resistant materials
- Inspect rooflines, soffits, fascia boards, and foundation gaps

What Shapes a Rodent Plan
What Affects Rodent Activity Around a Home?
The right rodent control plan depends on the species, property conditions, entry points, contamination level, and how much long-term prevention the home needs.
Entry Points
Rodents use gaps around vents, doors, utilities, foundations, soffits, and rooflines to enter the home.
Food Sources
Trash, pet food, bird seed, stored food, and outdoor debris can support rodent activity around the property.
Nesting Areas
Attics, crawl spaces, garages, storage rooms, wall voids, and insulation can provide shelter for rats and mice.
Exclusion Quality
Long-term success depends on durable materials and thorough sealing after active rodents are removed.
