I’m using them currently. They charge $295 initially and then $65 every month. They are fine. They are a little expensive. I would continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used the services of Critter Control of Birmingham about 2 months ago.

They were very good. They did a fine job. I rate them high overall. I will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: We used Critter Control of Birmingham to get rid of a raccoon family we had in our attic. They then clean up the place. The animals were still running back and forth, so they brought the insulation down. We had Critter Control reinsulated the attic. They put a bind around the outside next to the gutter to keep the raccoons from getting inside in the future.

It went very well. They got rid of the noisy little monsters, repaired the eaves and painted everything. They saved me a bit of money by using paint I already had. It was supposed to be a one day job, but ran into a second day -- no problem, though. The second day was just finishing up the painting.
Description of Work: They did a great job! I had squirrels living in the eaves under my roof. Critter Control came to my house, evaluated what they saw and gave me a few options for handling the problem, at various price points. I chose what we considered the most complete plan -- they set up traps to both get rid of what was there and to keep any from returning. After an adequate amount of time, they repaired the openings in the eaves and painted the areas they repaired. I was pleased – I didn’t realize when I first called Critter Control that they would take care of everything. I knew they’d get rid of the squirrels, but didn’t expect them to also repair the house. I thought I would have to get someone else to complete this. One stop shopping!!!

They are excellent and they did a great job. We had a board that had got loose. But we had got it fixed. However, it was not done properly and they got it all fixed right. They did a lot of work. They sealed the entire roof line, removed the bats and birds and sealed up holes. They came quickly and were very professional. They explained everything. They followed up and came back for two days to do all the job. We were very pleased with them. They came when they said they would.
Description of Work: Critter Control of Birmingham got the bats and birds out of attic last summer.

They were very good and I liked their service. My experience with them was very good and I would use them again in the future. I would recommend them to the other members. Their service person was very nice. He was very patient and explained everything to me. He came exactly when he said that he would come. He called me once when he was going to be late and we worked it out.
Description of Work: I have used the services of Critter Control Of Birmingham in October 2010. I thought I had squirrels in my attic in the wall cross space. They came in and set some trap. They monitored the trap for a couple of weeks. They came back and closed up the small areas on either side of the fence on the pitched roof side. They also closed the area at the back of the basement side to make sure that nothing could get in. I called them back because I thought I heard something in. They came right back out.

We first contacted them about a few months ago. They came out and set some traps and we never really got anything. So we went ahead with the second plan which cost us about $1000 to get stuff put up all over the house, but we still have critters. So, now they have done the last thing that they said that they could do. It is still covered because they said that it would guarantee the price that we agreed for a year. I felt that it should have been 3 years for that price. One thing that I wasn't real happy about was that there was a little bit of over sale of what they could do when I made my original contact with them. We were hearing noises in between the walls of our house and not only in the attic. They told me that they knew exactly what was going on in my house when I called them, but they said that they couldn't make out what was going on when they came out. So, we are waiting to see as to what the process is and we have decided to pay a part of the money until our house becomes free from critters. They are currently in my house doing the work and they keep coming back when I call. We have already paid them $350 for the first contact. The price for putting up flashing in between the roof and the siding of the house is $1100. They have been pretty responsive except for once when they didn't come for a couple of days when I contacted them. They are punctual, as they come when they say that they are going to come. Most of the guys have been pretty professional. I have to wait and see as to how it turns out. I would continue to use their services in the future too.

It has been going fine. They seem to be courteous and show up when I expect them to be there. If they cannot be there, they will call and let me know in advance. They use eco-friendly products as well; that we appreciate very much.
Description of Work: They came out to do some repairs on the home to help eliminate some squirrels that were getting into the attic.

Overall the rep was very professional & knowledgeable, but apologized for the backlog in getting the holes plugged up. That part, in my opinion, is inexcusable. All it would take is for the owner to hire more people.
Description of Work: Service rep came, accessed the situation in the attics, 'flying squirrels', set traps and has returned twice, checking traps for dead squirrels. The $299 guarantees that traps are set for thirty days. On top of that it is estimated to cost $30 for each dead animal that is removed. Repairs to close up any openings on the outside of home was projected to cost $1300. Unfortunately the company is so backlogged, when it comes to repairs, that I would have to wait 3 weeks to a month. Setting the traps and not plugging up the holes doesn't help me. Squirrels would still come in with their own food and not be attracted to the traps that were set with peanut butter.

Very professional and humane job. A representative stopped by everyday to check the traps and remove the squirrels as they were caught. Representative also provided excellent advice and repair solutions to exclude squirrels from the house in the future.
Description of Work: Caught Squirrels that had set up house in my attic, chewed through the eves and were damaging my house.

They arrived on time and were very knowledgeable about this nasty infestation we have had in our area. The steps they took have done a good job of controlling the problem with these nasty rodents. I would definitely recommend these guys a good line of defense against roof rats.
Description of Work: They placed traps on the roof and put poison all through the gutters and roof of my 1500 square foot condo for what are called roof rats in our area.

Home was inspected, traps set. Rat disposed of and waited for others for a month. Afterwards house was sealed around gutters and all points of entry. Work is guaranteed for 3 years. See above for more detail
Description of Work: In Memphis there is an epidemic of roof rats living in attics! Todd Akins is the owner of the Memphis franchise. There are not enough superlatives for this man's performance in ridding me of this problem. Traps were set and inspected whenever he received a call or not. He sealed the house and gave me a 3 yr warranty. He is knowledgeable, cleans up and wears botties on feet. Will answer ANY questions and is not in a rush. His word is his bond, plus a contract! His rates are reasonable. He was a lawyer in DC. A++++ in my book and I am picky, especially in this kind of situation. Ask for him personally.
