If you need dead deer removal services on your private property, you are at the right place! Southern Pest Management responds quickly to dead deer carcass removal calls with minimal disruption to your yard, driveway, fence line, or landscaping. We keep our service straightforward, we show up, we remove it, and we get you back to normal as fast as possible. We’re known for having some of the LOWEST PRICES locally while still maintaining professional standards.

There are two completely different situations when dealing with a dead deer, and the process is different for each.

If the deer is NOT on your private property (public road, shoulder, median, city property, county property), this is the City or County’s responsibility. They will handle it on their timeline. Please do not call us for roadkill pickup.

If the deer IS on your private property, you either have to deal with it yourself or hire a service provider. That’s what we do.

We primarily serve the same areas as our pest service routes:

Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Cumming, Milton, Dawsonville.

If you’re close to these areas, call us anyway. We can often make exceptions depending on scheduling and distance.

We handle dead deer removal on private property when the property owner doesn’t want to deal with it, including:

• Dead deer stuck on a fence (upcharge if the fence must be cut)
• Deer in a pool, stream, or any water (upcharge anytime water is involved)
• Deer in a pond (upcharge if a kayak or special access is required)
• Same-Day or Next-Day Service

We do our best to provide same-day service depending on the time you call. If same-day isn’t possible, we typically schedule for the next day. You do not have to be home. In many cases, we can remove the deer and take payment by phone, then email your receipt.
