Emergency Removal
When Rodent Removal Cannot Wait
Most rodent jobs can be scheduled. Some cannot. If a rat or mouse is in your living space right now, that is an emergency.
Emergency rodent removal is for the situations that cannot wait for a routine appointment: a rat in the kitchen or bedroom, mice running through living spaces during the day, a rodent trapped in a room with children or pets, or a sudden infestation discovered during a move, a renovation, or a home sale inspection. These are the calls where the goal is to get a technician to your home the same day.
Same-day service means we prioritize your call, arrange the earliest available visit, and come prepared to inspect, trap, and — where possible — start exclusion on that first visit. Not every part of a full program can be completed in one emergency visit, but the immediate problem — the animal in your living space — is addressed first, and the follow-up plan is agreed before we leave.
If you have a rodent in a room right now, do not try to corner it or handle it yourself. Close the door to that room if you can, keep pets and children out, and call. A rat that feels cornered can bite, and droppings and urine in living spaces are a contamination issue that should be cleaned properly, not swept up dry.
What Counts
What Counts as a Rodent Emergency
Not every rodent sighting is an emergency, but these situations are:
- A rat or mouse loose in a kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom right now
- Rodents running through living spaces during the day, which usually means a large population
- A rodent trapped in a room with children, pets, or someone who is ill
- A sudden infestation found during a move-in, renovation, or home inspection
- Gnawed electrical wiring, a burning smell, or a tripped breaker linked to rodent damage
- Heavy droppings contamination in food storage areas, a pantry, or a daycare or rental unit
- A dead rodent in a living space, wall, or HVAC duct with a strong odor
If your situation is not on this list — scratching in the attic at night, droppings in the garage, a sighting in the yard — it is still worth a prompt inspection, but it can usually be booked as a standard visit. Either way, the call is the same: tell us what you are seeing and where, and we will tell you honestly how urgent it is.
How It Works
How Emergency Rodent Removal Works
Emergency visits are structured differently from routine jobs: the immediate risk comes first, and the full program follows.
Step 1: Same-day call and dispatch
Call (470) 646-9576 and describe what is happening. We arrange the earliest available visit and tell you what to do until the technician arrives.
Step 2: Immediate inspection
The technician inspects the affected rooms, the attic, and the likely entry points to find the animal and the route it used.
Step 3: Removal on the spot
Traps and removal methods are deployed immediately in the affected areas, and any accessible animal is removed.
Step 4: Written estimate for the full job
Before any larger program starts, you get a written estimate covering trapping, exclusion, and cleanup — so the emergency visit does not turn into an open-ended bill.
Step 5: Follow-up and exclusion
Return visits check traps, confirm activity has stopped, and complete the exclusion work that keeps rodents from coming back.
After Hours
Nights, Weekends, and What to Do While You Wait
Rodents do not keep office hours, and the worst discoveries usually happen at night — a rat in the kitchen at 10 p.m., scratching that suddenly gets loud, a mouse in a bedroom.
If you find a rodent in a living space after hours, keep the room closed off if you can, keep pets away, and avoid sweeping or vacuuming droppings dry, which can stir up dust. A damp cloth and gloves are enough for a small area until a technician can clean it properly. Do not seal a room with a live rodent inside it and no way out — it will chew its way out somewhere worse.
Call and leave a clear message if you reach us after hours: your address, what you found, and where. Emergency calls are prioritized in the order they come in, and the first available technician is dispatched to the most urgent cases first. If your situation involves gnawed wiring or a burning smell, call your electric utility or fire department first — that is a fire risk, not just a pest problem.
Local
Emergency Rodent Removal in Marietta and Cobb County
Emergency calls in Marietta follow a pattern: fall move-ins, attic noise that suddenly gets worse, and rats that find their way from a garage into the kitchen through a shared wall.
Homes near Marietta Square and older neighborhoods see emergency calls when a roof rat that has been living quietly in the attic finds a gap into the living space — often around a light fixture, a vent, or a pipe chase. In East Cobb and West Cobb, the trigger is often a garage door left open or a pet door that gives a Norway rat or mouse a route inside.
Whatever the trigger, the response is the same: a same-day visit, removal of the immediate problem, and a written estimate for the full program before further work begins. If you need emergency rodent removal near you in Marietta, call (470) 646-9576 and tell us what is happening — that call is the fastest way to get help.
Pricing
What to Expect on Price
Every home and every infestation is different, so we price by the job after an inspection — never by a flat number on a website.
Pricing varies by job — most jobs fall in a broad range from a few hundred dollars for a straightforward visit to well over a thousand for full exclusion, cleanup, and repair work. This is not a quote — a written estimate is provided before work begins.
The written estimate lists exactly what is included: inspection, trapping or removal, exclusion work, and cleanup, so there are no surprises. If the scope changes during the job, you hear about it before any extra work starts.
For emergency rodent removal in Marietta, call (470) 646-9576 and tell us what you are seeing — droppings, noises, a sighting, or damage. We will talk through what an inspection looks like and arrange a visit.
