Nick Massey, founder of Georgia Pest and Wildlife Specialists, has over 20 years of experience in the nuisance wildlife control industry. But long before Nick began Georgia PAWS, he understood the need for wildlife control. Nick grew up in a rural area of northeast Georgia and spent most of his childhood living in poverty. The dilapidated houses that he called home were also home to many critters, such as rats, squirrels, opossums and the occasional raccoon. Even at a young age, Nick understood the risks associated with living with these animals. He developed techniques back then to trap and remove them from his home. Nick has always had a love for nature and wildlife. Never did he try to kill these animals; he would carry them across town and release them down by the river. Growing up in this manner, Nick also understood that he would have to work hard to overcome his situation – and that he did! Nick started out in the pest control industry, selling termite treatments. He was instrumental in redesigning the way termite treatments are conducted with one of the nation’s largest pest control companies. His genuine honesty and down to earth personality helped him to become the number one salesperson at each company in which he worked over the years. Nick’s strong work ethic and massive knowledge of the wildlife industry guided him to begin his own company, Georgia P.A.W.S. It has became one of the fastest growing nuisance wildlife control companies in the greater Atlanta area.
