Worst experience in my life. I was lied to and my money was taken. We received a quote from Michael Scott about $6,000. And was told that each payment would be done installments as the work went on but they took it all in one day before the work really got started. I had an employee go up in the attic to set up the raccoon trap he came out and told me that he did not find any feces in my attic at all. I was excited because then I didn't have to come up with $2,000 to have it cleaned. He then go outside call somebody comes back in and goes in my attic and comes back out of my attic and says oh it was over here I missed a spot. Oh who did you talk on the phone to? I said you lied to me and you all been lying to me. At this point they'd already gotten my $2,000 on top of the other four. I had a few different employees coming to my house never on time would call me out of the blue and say oh I'm on my way never even knew they were coming. And I said have you guys caught any raccoons yet he said what we're catching raccoons? I said yes that's what we are catching he said these are mouse chops out here. Are you kidding me I said no we're catching raccoons. I told them I've had enough of them I was exhausted I was mentally drained it was during COVID My husband had gone through cancer treatment I was shot I didn't even want to see him no more and told him to get rid of the contract I was done but they still got my money I just wasn't paying the yearly annual fees no more. So take your money and run somewhere else and run far and fast from critter control.
Description of Work: They were supposed to remove raccoons from my attic.

Our regular pest control service referred to us to Critter Control to handle an unexpected bee problem. Two small holes were made on the side of our home near the air conditioners (unknown as to how holes were made) and bees had started to move in. Critter Control was very responsive and was at our home the next day. Our technician was Tyler Davis who was professional, courteous, very knowledgeable and most important, he eliminated our problem. He thoroughly explained the process to remedy the situation, injected repellent and sealed their points of entry. He told us to expect some bees would still be in the area for 2 to 4 days. There were a few for 2 days and we have been bee-free since. Would definitely recommend this company and would request Tyler for service.

William came out and offered me lost of suggestions on how to catch the animal myself with live traps, without pushing me to buy any service. He was very courteous and knowledgeable. I would definitively hire them in the future if I cannot solve the problem.
Description of Work: I called critter control because some wild life dug a large hole under my house.

Great job! They were very responsive and knowledgable. The technician, Casey, was excellent. He explained everything and did a thorough inspection of the property to insure our efforts to rabbit-proof the yard were successful. The traps used were humane and no rabbits were harmed! Casey came promptly to pick them up and release them into the wilderness. We are no rabbit free!!!
Description of Work: Humanly trapped rabbits that had taken up residence under our shed so we could rabbit proof the yard.

Completely great experience, and while it may seem a bit on the high side in price, it was totally worth it.
Description of Work: We discovered evidence of a creature going in and out of our attic, and heard noises up there occasionally. Critter Control sent a guy, who was on time, very professional, figured out it was a feral cat, set a trap for it if it was hiding out of sight in the attic, and sealed up the hole so it could not be used again. He came back a week later when he said he would and discovered no animal in the trap--thankfully--and our problems have been gone ever since.

From the beginning of calling their office, Kristen displayed a great measure of professionalism and was able to help troubleshoot our critter problem. She asked a lot of important questions about the type of house/environment we live in so she could better assess the situation. In a timely manner she dispatched the local technician that services our area. I cannot say enough about how helpful the entire Critter Control team is. I would call them again if we have critter control problems. They were able to resolve our issue. Thank you very much!
Description of Work: Casey our technician was very thorough during our home inspection for critters. He was very honest and upfront about what he could and could not do to help us and explained the pricing for the different services. We appreciated that he took the time to answer our questions and was genuinely concerned to remedy the situation. He also called us in advance to let us know he was on his way and that's a nice touch! From our experience, we recommend Critter Control as the entire experience was great from start to finish!!

The gentleman was informative, congenial and easy to work with. His visit was done in a timely manner, explained the situation, costs and what to expect. Inquired as to what we had personally experienced and surmised from our conversation that we were probably dealing with a squirrel that hopefully had not delivered its' young but could be more than one.
Description of Work: First visit he assessed the situation, reported his findings, gave his suggestions as to how to handle the situation, gave his estimate of costs. He went up on the roof, found the area the animal or animals were entering, put traps for squirrels and informed us he would return the next day. He returned the next day and as we weren't home left us a note that no animal had been caught so he also put out traps for raccoon and a cat. Three days later he returned to find the trap had a squirrel which he removed and rebaited the trap and returned the next day to check the traps and found no animals. Per his previous suggestion of screening the fan vents and other vents and eaves we contacted him and told him to go ahead and do the screening. He advised it would be a couple of days to do this and the work was accomplished on the 21st of April.

The guys from Critter Control were very professional and capable. They diagnosed the problem, the degree of infestation and damage and were pretty close to the estimate initally given.
Description of Work: Critter Control removed the roof rats from our attic. They gave us good advice relative to the degree of cleanup we needed in the attic after the "critters" were gone.

Wire mesh was used by the business owner/operator on the roof to complete the job. Work was done on a Saturday but entry inside the house was not required; all work was done on the roof. Original cost estimate was $100 higher than final cost. There is a 1 year guarantee on the work, and success will be determined over that period of time.
Description of Work: Animals were entering the attic of the house and dying. I needed points of entry sealed off. Critter Control identified 7 fan vents and 5 soffit points of entry needing closure, left exposed by less than adequate past home construction.

THEY ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL. THEY UNDERSTOOD OUR PROBLEM AND RECOMMENDED THE EASIEST WAY TO CATCH ONE OF THESE CRITTERS. THEY SCOUTED THE AREA AND PLACED TRAPS WHERE IT WOULD HAVE THE BEST CHANCES FOR SUCCESS. THEIR PRICES ARE A LITTLE HIGH, HOWEVER, HE WAS HERE WITHIN 2 HOURS AFTER PLACING THE CALL. NICE JOB!
