It was a Big Deal purchase. It worked out not so well. It just wasn't good service. I had a hard time with the company. I tried to cancel. They kept trying to come back. They didn't show up when they were supposed to. It just didn't work out well. I guess the work they did was fine. I had them come out routinely. They came about a month later after the purchase.
Description of Work: I used them for both interior and exterior pest control.

If you are plagued by unwanted wildlife/animals this company is excellent. ANDY came to my home initially to remove rodents that had been living in a small area above a cabana bathroom. Although it took weeks to rectify the situation entirely, once all possible entrances into the house were blocked, we seem to be rat free! ANDY set traps both inside and out and placed metal screens and/or cement to block all access areas. Andy also recommended that we trap both raccoons and ducks that were defecating around our property. Our home is situated on a golf course with a lake nearby so we are inundated with wildlife. Although I am not fond of trapping animals in general, there are times when the situation requires action. We feared for our domesticated pets' safety as well as our own. ANDY was friendly, competent, professional, on time, and trustworthy. I would request him again if the need arises! I have also used this company to remove beehives in the past. Highly recommended.

Thank you for your feedback, [member name removed]. However, we must contest your claim that there were no attempts to schedule or reach out to you directly. Upon your original purchase, our office team responded to you within 24 hours via the Angie's List Message Center to obtain a good phone number and email address at which to reach you, due to the fact that one was not provided to our company at the time of your purchase. Upon receiving your email address, and subsequently a good contact number, you advised that you wanted to wait to use your voucher and would contact our office back. When we followed up with you 2 months later, we were unable to make contact for scheduling. Your most recent point of contact, approximately 11 months from the purchasing date, inhibited availability for service provision under the previously purchased Big Deal. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and will be happy to answer any further questions you may have regarding this matter.

They were good though it wasn't value for the money and they were reliable. They tried to sell me additional products and I couldn't use them again. I still had bugs after they had left. They did an okay job and I found them to be pushy trying to push additional services. They were nice to deal with and they didn't do a bad job though it wasn't the best. They were not very punctual. Overall I wasn't that impressed.

animal removal, insulation, pest control

I would not recommend this company, and here is why. After sealing up the openings in the house and getting the rat out, we had them change the insulation in the attic. The communication between the office the the team of workers was poor. We were told to leave our stored items in the attic, but when they got here they said they had to be removed. We would have done that prior to arrival if we were told to so. They took it all out, which helped me since items were heavy. However, they didn't cover up things in the bedroom well with the plastic, and this process made a mess! The attic entrance is through the master bedroom closet. Things were not done carefully. They were fast, and very careless. It felt like we had a stampede of bulls in the attic. They were dropping things (probably the floor boards), and the house felt like it was in an earthquake. The vibration made the ceiling light fixture fall out and smash all over the floor. I'm still removing shards of glass from the carpeting and tiles. A screw came through the bedroom ceiling, and the smoke alarm fell out of the ceiling. They moved furniture to bring the vacuum tube through the window, and failed to put furniture back. They lost the cover to the attic opening, buried under the new insulation. They failed to put the floor boards back down, so we could no longer store our items back in the attic. It took 3 more visits to fix everything that they ruined. Then they sent only 1 man to move the boards, which was too heavy for him. Another visit was made to get a team of men here to do that, which should have been done on the original visit. They did replace the broken light fixture and caulked where the screw came through the ceiling. I had to be home again and again for all of these added visits, losing time from work. They also left garbage in my neighbors yard when covering my dryer vent, causing unnecessary problems with the neighbor. They were careless, and tried to work too fast, causing more and more problems. I spent 3,500 dollars, and my lost wages. They did fix the problems, but they never should have happened in the first place. I would never use this company again, nor would I recommend that you let them into your home.
Description of Work: We had a rat removed from the attic, all openings on the outside of the house sealed up or capped, and the attic insulation changed out for new insulation.

Response from Critter Control
Thank you for asking Critter Control to provide your home with wildlife remediation services. We take complaints very seriously here, due to the fact that we value our clients and want to ensure the best possible experience for everyone, given their respective animal and insect conflicts. The process of animal removal, damage repair and attic restoration can be frustrating in itself and we, as a full service company, always strive to make the process easier. Critter Control has a proven track record of 5-star reviews and impeccable customer service. We thoroughly understand that each experience will vary based on circumstances and variables that are beyond our control. We would first like to apologize that we did not live up to your expectations. We completely understand the frustration of having workers in and out of your home to begin with, then to have to clean up any dust or move furniture back would definitely exacerbate such negative feelings. As for the noise while the workers were on site, unfortunately, with the industrial equipment necessary to complete the work and with such a tight space to move floorboards, we could not possibly have done anything to alleviate the unpleasant sounds. However, we took full responsibility for the broken light fixture and a screw that went through the ceiling. In regards to the external component dish on the light fixture being broken, we purchased two separate globe models to ensure a proper fit for the replacement and installed the fixture as soon as it was delivered to our office. We feel confident that where errors were made, they were rectified in the most professional and expeditious manner. We made every attempt possible to work with you on schedule coordination for appointments to aid in making the process smooth. Again, we do understand your frustrations, but we absolutely took the necessary time to ensure that the work was completely done and that any errors were promptly addressed. We do value your business with Critter Control. If you have any questions, or if you wish to discuss this matter further, please contact our office at (954) 467-6067.

Response from Critter Control
[member name removed], Thanks for the review. Sometimes there are conducive conditions that increase mosquito populations. The heavy rains we have been having ever day, standing water, heavy vegetation, etc. We like to put our customers on a monthly routine with regular treatment and most are very satisfied wight he results. It is tough for us to get 100% elimination but, we should be able to reduce the population to help you enjoy your back yard. The big deal is really designed to introduce you to our services and what is available to you. There are other permanent solutions that we offer. I have forward your review to a supervisor to touch base with yo to see if we can do anything else for you to make sure you are satisfied with the service you received Thanks again

They came out and did the job. The ants were not taking care of so I called them back out. They sprayed again but it still didn’t work. For the price, the work was ok but they didn’t cure the issue. I wouldn’t use them again. However, they were professional, followed-up, and came when they said they would.

Thanks for providing us a review, customer satisfaction is top priority for us. I hope it was explained to you during service that some of the invasive ants we have in South Florida can have very large colonies even into the millions of individuals. Our one time treatment offer will help but can not be expected to solve some of these issues. Re-occurring treatment is necessary to resolve the situation. If there is anything we can do to help please contact us. Thanks again for the positive comments and please understand that additional work was probably necessary outside of what we can do for the special we offer. I hope this helps explain.

I could not be happier with the response and service from Critter Control. We recently moved into an older home, and did not realize we had an issue upon moving in. Critter Control really came to the rescue. They have been attentive to us, and have really personalized the service to fit the individual needs of our home. Our home feels like a happy and comfortable place to come home to now that they have gotten our issue under control. The contacts have acted very professionally, and the price points have been very fair. We have maintained ongoing service with them for indoor/outdoor pest control as well. I would highly recommend this company to any of my friends or neighbors.

Used a coupon from Angie's List to hire for preventive extermination on a home I just purchased. Critter Control was accommodating to my schedule and showed up on time. I signed a bi-monthly contract at a reasonable bi-monthly price to continue to make sure bugs don't become an issue. They come one other time since the initial visit. Again, they accommodated my schedule and were punctual.

The lady was really nice and gave me some pointers about handling these huge roaches that keep getting in the house after some neighbors did some work and some trees were cut down. They’ve been helping, although it’s not over by no means. It’s just a really bad problem and we have to be careful since I have a dog. The employees are very nice.

Rob came in and gave us possibly some of the best service possible. He was honest, intelligent and logical. He explained the best avenues to go about getting treatment and even what to look out for if we use different services next time so we don't get cheated. He spot treated a nasty spare bedroom which needs renovation. He will be back again in six months to spot treat when we tear out the drywall from a whole room and it's part of the price we are paying. He says that's the best possible way to treat and to eliminate termites permanently. Thanks Rob.
