I would not hire anybody else. Most importantly, they caught the raccoons. Then, they took out all the insulation that was damaged by the raccoons and they replaced it. They also cleaned everything very thoroughly. They are punctual, quick, and hard working. They worked 10 hours both days they were here. I was thinking I would pay more than I did. They are wonderful to be around.
Description of Work: They came out and took care of some raccoons in my attic.

Terry was outstanding. He was timely, efficient, knowledgeable, friendly and thorough in his explanation of each recommended action. He was attentive throughout the process and stopped by daily to monitor progress and check bat traps. He completed the work as scheduled, on time, and at the exact price estimated.
Description of Work: Initial evaluation and estimate completed on schedule. Services included capture and removal of several bats hanging on the house's exterior, installation of a screen to prevent returns, closure of small openings around the house (to prevent entry of birds, small animals, etc.) and removal of a colony of mice.

They came out to the house the day after I called them and were very good about communicating about the status of the problem. They left a note everyday with a progress report. I do not have any complaints. The work is guaranteed for a year.
Description of Work: They came out and found the access point for a raccoon that had entered our attic. They then set a trap and came by daily to check the trap. Within 2 days the raccoon was captured and they re-set the trap. Once they were sure there weren't any other raccoons, they gave us an estimate on fixing the entry hole. Within a week, the repairs were made to the entry hole.

They were quick to respond to my needs. They listened to my problem over the phone and told me what they could do to handle it before even coming to my home. Then, they spent a lot of time and effort looking for the birds (on my roof, in the attic, and all around my home). Despite not finding the critters, they came back and sealed potential entry points so that I would have no problems and guaranteed me that they would come back and remove any animals if there was one that popped up after completing their assessment. I was really pleased with their service.
Description of Work: Came out to look for birds in the attic/duct work of my home and to remove whatever was found.

Critter Control is an expert animal removal firm. They responded to my urgent call quickly and sent Tracey out almost immediately. His "trapping skills" are excellent. He knew right away what kind of animals we were dealing with, where they entered our house, and what kind of damage they had done. He also temporarily repaired the roof until our roofer could come. They were great!
Description of Work: We had several raccoons living in our attic. Tracey, from Critter Control could tell exactly where they were entering our attic (They had clawed their way through the roof, under our roof tiles). He diligently set traps and checked them regularly. Even after we caught one, he knew there was still at least one other one, which he eventually caught.

Moles were digging trenches through my newly seeded front lawn. I signed a 1-year contract for trapping moles (a set fee) plus paid an additional fee for each mole captured. 3 traps were set and someone visited my property each day. Within 48 hours one mole was captured and removed my from property. I went out to my front yard to chat with the technician during one of his daily visits. As we made small talk, I noticed his eyes wondering around the yard. He became silent as I continued to ramble. All of the sudden he dropped to the ground and began digging with his bare hands into one of the trenches. Before I knew it he had a mole in one hand which be promptly plopped into the back of his truck! I can honestly say now that I have "seen it all!" All together 3 moles were captured and removed, and I haven't had problems since. Overall, a very entertaining experience.
Description of Work: Signed 1-year contract for trapping and removal of moles.

I thought a chipmunk had gotten in to my condo and eaten through foil bags of dog treats kept under the kitchen sink. Based on a recommendation from our association management, I called Critter Control on Monday morning and they responded the next day. They required no deposit or credit card number to get started which was great. The technician, Sam, was very thorough in identifying possible places the chipmunk could have gained entry (if indeed it did) to the inside. He replaced and re-baited the traps everyday and left a note with a running count of how many he caught each day. He even gave me his cell phone number so I could call him with questions after I got off work. He was very responsive and answered all my stupid questions thoroughly. We never met until 10 days into the trapping. I hope I never have the problem again but if I do, I know who to call. He gave me a 2 chipmunk discount and fixed a possible entry point behind my air conditioner at no charge.
Description of Work: The company trapped and removed 12 chipmunks around the outside of my condominium. (I know, I said "TWELVE" too!)

Tracy Sullivan was fabulous. Not only was he personable and professional, but also very knowledgeable (and reassuring) concerning my bat issue and critters in general. He was very thorough and diligent in looking for the bat and analyzing the interior and exterior of my home for issues. He resolved the major vent and nesting issue on his initial service call and returned on the next business day to complete the job and replace the final two vent screens. After having an unpleasant experience with the initial company I contacted for this issue, I found Critter Control, Tracy, and the other staff members exceptionally professional and easy to deal with. I would recommend this company to anyone needing their services.
Description of Work: I had a bat in my home and requested a service call from Critter Control (CC) after receiving poor service from another company. CC conducted a rigorous service call to locate the bat, discern how the bat may have entered the home and fix/repair any issues they uncovered. They removed a nest that they located in my attic and replaced the screen vents in the attic area.

I was very pleased with Critter Control. They sent someone the next day to set traps in my yard. After the first phone call, we communicated exclusively through notes left by Tracy, their field manager. She gave me daily updates as to how many animals were trapped each day. In less than two weeks they captured a male, female, and two young raccoons. That was all the animals that I was expecting, so Tracy picked up the traps, but told me to call again if I had a problem within 30 days and they would come out without an additional service charge.
Description of Work: Removal of a family of raccoons living in/around my woodpile. Cost was $169 to set the traps and $65 per raccoon captured. They also took two opossums away for free.

Tracy was helpful and courteous. He reported on his results each day. He went out of his way to accommodate my schedule, even coming one Friday evening after 5 PM.
Description of Work: I called Critter Control about a raccoon in my fireplace. They came out the same day and examined my fireplace. Because, my two chimney flues are interconnected, they could not be certain if the raccoon was still in the chimney nor could they force the raccoon out if it was. They set a trap on the roof near the chimney and put tape over the top of the flues to detect any activity in the chimney. They trapped one raccoon and set a new trap in case there were more. After determining that there were no more raccoons they installed two new chimney covers, which they guarantee for 10 years, with free replacement if they are damaged or blown away during that time.

I was very pleased with the company's responsiveness. I called on a Friday and explained that I was going to be leaving for vacation the next day, and was assured that they would do the work before I left. Both workers were very polite and stayed until after 6 pm to make sure that the job was completed and that everything was cleaned up.

Tracy was very nice and did everything we asked, including inspecting our attic after not being able to trap the raccoon. I was somewhat disappointed with how long the process took. On several occasions, Tracy left a note to explain why he could not complete the job that day. Other times, a couple of days would pass without hearing from him. I also found the price to be rather high. I understand that animal removal can be dangerous, but I feel a little silly that we spent approximately $400 on a raccoon that apparently left on its own. Nonetheless, the work was done well, and our problem is solved. Hopefully the screens will prevent future entries.
Description of Work: I contacted this company after hearing scratching noises in the walls and attic. This company discovered two entries in eaves of the roof; suspecting raccoons due to fur around entries. They set a live animal trap on the roof of our home and checked trap daily for about a week. After failing to trap the animal, and after attic noises stopped, they sealed entries with new plywood and covered areas under eaves with heavy duty wire screens.

The lady got rude when she realized that the critters were in my attic not ''in my house''. Well, my attic is in my house. I inquired as to how they trap the animals and the bait used since I do not want to see them using deadly bait or snap traps. Again she was rude and said that they have a heart and will release them back into their natural habitat, but would not tell me where after probing her. I was only asking because I wanted to be sure these animal are not killed un-needlessly. She then hung up on me. Pricing seemed high from other companies I spoke with and not as pleasant to deal with.
