Very professional service. They came out on time, and as promised. The technician was professional and knowledgeable - he explained all the steps. The billing was fair/reasonable. Unfortunately, I think this service provider may have gone out of business. I tried unsuccessfully to reach them repeatedly after they provided the service (and would definitely have used them again if I had any pest control issues).
Description of Work: exterminated raccoon(s) or opossum(s) from roof.

They were unremarkable. They were just okay. It wasn't anything spectacular. Their price was okay. It was fine. I'm not using them again because I went to another company that uses all natural products. I have nothing against this company, it's just that they don't offer that.

I think it went well? Representative was very professional and knowledgeable. I did not follow him around to see what he did but I'm pretty sure my termite infested ficus trees are doing much better (some I thought were dead are reviving). I have to assume he did the house and that I'm good (I did not have a problem in the house). I did have a palmetto bug problem where I was throwing out 10 bodies a week (at least) he said he could fix that problem too. Not sure what he did (fogged the attic?) but I have seen a big improvement. Maybe I throw out 1-2 bodies a week now if any. So I would recommend them. They did a better job than my monthly exterminator service has done in 14 years!
Description of Work: Treated yard and trees for termites. Did preventive termite treatment for inside home.

Robert came over to check out drywood termites in our house. We saw droppings in one of our closets, so we were pretty sure we had them. We had 3 other companies come over for an inspection last week and they all confirmed we had drywood termites. After Robert's inspection, he very bluntly told us "You don't have any active termites. I don't know what the other companies saw, but I went into your attic and there is nothing there". He explained that the droppings we were seeing were embedded in our closet ceiling and when it was windy outside, the droppings get loose and fall down. He could have told us that we had termites and charged us for the service, but he was honest and professional. I recommend the company even though we didn't need to use their service. Robert rocks!

He was on time, came prepared, set up traps and said he would return regularly as needed to resolve the issue. Short of telling the raccoon to go to the trap, he did all he could. Cordial, friendly and helpful.
Description of Work: Steve came out and set up traps to catch the raccoon that uses my backyard as it's toilet. He was direct in giving me realistic expectations to remove an animal that doesn't reside on my property.

Very good. The person who came to our home was knowlegable and very polite. He took the time to explain things and we are satisfied with their service.
Description of Work: He did an overall check and determined that we had ants instead of termites. He then treated the area where the ants were and we don't have the problem anymore.

He arrived a few minutes before the appointed time, and waited to knock at the exact time. He is professional and knowledgeable. He explained that we had two different kinds of ants, and that they needed completely different approaches. The small ones would be eliminated with something he put inside the electrical outlets throughout the house. The big ones came from outside, so he sprayed around the house. Six months have passed with no ants, so we are very satisfied.

It was difficult scheduling appointments since they only come to Dade County once a week. Also the price for their service was higher then most companies in Dade County. The service that I really wanted done they wanted to charge me $1600 to do when Dades companies prices were between $850 to $1250.
Description of Work: I used them for monthly spraying twice. I had an issue with termites and they did an inspection. I decided not to stay with this company because logistically it was difficult scheduling appointments because they are based in WPB and I live in Dade.i also decided not to use them for my termite problem because their estimate of the cost was way to high.

I felt that I got a good service from the rep. They treated the inside and outside based on my concerns. They listened and was very responsive and knowledgeable. I liked the company as a whole and decided to hire them for regular pest control service. So far, I've been very satisfied with my rep and the company.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for a Entire Home Pest Control Treatment (Interior AND Exterior). There were some restrictions, ie no ant pest control. But I felt that I got a good service from the rep. They treated inside and outside based on my concerns. They listened and was very responsive and knowledgeable.

I made an appointment and the technician came by on that date on time. He was very informative and professional. He did not try to sell me future service which I found to be very nice and explained what would work best for my situation. I will definitely call them again for future service! If you live in Miami though they only come down once a week from Broward so try to plan in advance.

Terminix said we needed to tent to address our termite issues. Critter Control (CC) said they could do it without tenting. CC showed up at least four times to address issue but we still had lots of termite activity. Finally, Critter Control stopped returning our calls and we called in Terminix and they tented and there is no more termite activity. I liked the CC person. Issue is they took on a project that they should not have in hindsight and then stopped returning our calls. Sorry to write a bad review.

I called them to schedule an appointment, and they told me they do not service my area frequently. They said they would call me back at some point to discuss whether or not they would come out to where I was. I never heard back from them. It also was not clear from the beginning that they were far away and may not service my area.

I was very impressed by the service that I received from Critter Control. They were punctual, explained everything in detail, they were polite, clean and very friendly. There were two people that performed the service for me, because one was in training but they were both excellent and knowledgeable. My only regret is that I did not sign up for a plan at the time so I could have them come on a regular basis!
Description of Work: I was having a BIG problem with ants (all sizes). They sprayed everywhere (inside and out), in cracks and crevices, behind applicances, you name it!! My ant problem went away for months. Some are back now (not all) so I'm thinking of getting them to come back and maybe come quarterly.

I was very pleased with the service provided by Critter Control. We have had an on going ant problem since we moved into our house in June 2009. Since they sprayed we have seen no ants in the house (or in the pet food)! I was concerned about the safe and our pets but they assured me it was safe and I have noticed no ill effects in our 4 cats or dog.

Response from Critter Control
Sorry, but I think there was a miss understanding on the purchase of a Big Deal. From our understanding once it is purchased it is the customer's responsibility to contact the company to schedule service. This was our first Big Deal and once we heard about your complaint we immediately tried to schedule with you but you refused service. We will still honor it and would love to provide you the great service I know we can.
