We found Critter Control to professionally and discreetly remove the squirrels from our attic. They were patient, as they were here 1 month, and did not seal the hole until they believed all animals had been successfully removed.
Description of Work: Removal of squirrel(s) from our attic. Tracy Sullivan came out and located entry hole. He placed trap(s) and marked hole for use. Over a period a 1 month, Critter Control came out on weekdays to check trap, remove squirrels and remark the hole. 3 squirrels were removed, and when the hole showed no further usage, the hole was sealed.

Critter Control was prompt and clearly communicated (written note) with me daily as to what they did or did not find. Further they left me phone numbers to call if I had any questions. My first experience with animals in my attic -- and these folks were knowledgeable, prompt, and did the job.
Description of Work: Inspected roof and soffits for animal entry holes; installed traps on roof at entry points; removed captured animals (6 pine squirrels); installed heavy screen over all entry/exit holes once all animals had been removed. Made daily visit Mon-Fri to inspect, remove animals, reset traps.

They came to the house the next working day after I called, and they left me follow up reports as promised. The repairs were also done as promised.
Description of Work: They came out and did two things. First they looked at my roof to determine where an animal might be getting in, and they put a cage on the roof to catch the raccoon. No raccoon ever went into the cage, but I had them do repairs on the roof and the vents to prevent an animal from getting in.

They were on time and very polite. They gave us an estimate of the costs involved and the time-table in which things would happen. They were right on the mark. There were no surprises.
Description of Work: Set up traps on the roof. Caught two squirrels and removed them. Sealed up the holes where they were getting into the attic.

Other than talking to someone on the phone, I did not see anyone. I left a message and they returned my call promptly. I did not have to be home for them to come and look at the house and set up the trap (which was a big help). Each day a note was left on the door explaining what was done and that they would be back the next day. At the end of the week, the tech left a note just asking us to listen for noise over the weekend, and to leave him a note Monday morning with any results. He came out that day, and because we hadn't heard anything he removed the trap. Price was discounted for Angie's List members.
Description of Work: We were hearing something moving around in our attic. They came out and inspected roof area to look for a point of entry. Roof vents were marked to see if something was using them and indeed one was being used. A trap was set and then someone came out each day to see if we had any results. Unfortunately (or fortunately) nothing ever got caught. It must have been a smart animal. The trap was up for a week, with no results (we also did not hear anything in the attic). They removed trap, but said to call if we have any more problems.

THIS GUY WENT WAY OUT HIS WAY! HE REMOVED THE BRICKS INSIDE THE FIREPLACE, AND THE METAL. HE USED A MIRROR TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND THEN KNEW IT WAS A BIRD. SINCE HE COULDN'T REACH IT THAT WAY, HE CLOSED IT UP AND WENT IN THE ATTIC. HE SPENT MUCH TIME IN THE CLOSET TRYING TO GET IN THERE FOR THE BIRD. THERE WERE 6 DEAD STARLINGS IN THE CHIMNEY! HE GOT THE DEAD BIRDS OUT. HE TRIED GOING THROUGH THE SIDING TO GET THE LIVE ONES AND THAT DIDN'T WORK. THERE IS ONE LIVE ONE LEFT, BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO GET TO IT! IT WILL DIE WITHIN A FEW DAYS. HE WAS PROFESSIONAL AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE.
Description of Work: I thought I had a squirrel in my chimney and called in Critter Control to take care of it.

TIM IDENTIFIED SEVERAL CRITTER OPENINGS WHEN HE FIRST CHECKED THE HOUSE, AND THEN LOOKED AGAIN WHEN WE FURTHER DESCRIBED THE SCAMPERING CRITTER WE HEARD. HE MONITORED THE HOUSE DAILY OVER THE COURSE OF A WEEK AND SEALED SEVERAL OPENINGS ON THE ROOF. HE LEFT NOTES WHEN WE COULDN'T TALK DIRECTLY. HE WAS UP FRONT ABOUT ALL THE COSTS AND DID NOT CHARGE FOR SETTING A TRAP WHEN NO BATS WERE FOUND. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT CRITTER CONTROL AGAIN IF WE HAVE OTHER ANIMAL VISITORS.
Description of Work: HEARING SCAMPERING NOISES IN OUR CEILING, WE CALLED CRITTER CONTROL TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. TIM ARRIVED THE NEXT DAY AND THOROUGHLY CHECKED THE HOUSE. HE FOUND EVIDENCE OF BATS AND SET A TRAP. HE ALSO FOUND SEVERAL OPENINGS THAT COULD ACCOMMODATE OTHER CREATURES. HE CHECKED BACK DAILY AND REPAIRED THE OPENINGS THAT WE COULDN'T REACH EASILY. IT TOOK A COUPLE OF DAYS TO REALIZE THAT A SQUIRREL WAS WHAT WE WERE HEARING. TIM CAUGHT THE SQUIRREL AND IDENTIFIED THE OPENING. HE COMPLETED THE REPAIR WORK PROMPTLY.

THEY DID A GOOD JOB ON THE SERVICE CALL AND ARE VERY KNOWLEDGABLE ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS, HOWEVER WHEN WE SCHEDULED THE SERVICE IT WAS TO BE DONE ON A THURSDAY. THEY DID NOT SHOW UP AND WHEN WE CONTACTED THEM, THEY SAID THAT THEY SCHEDULED IT FOR THE WRONG DAY AND IT WOULD BE A WEEK LONGER BEFORE THEY COULD GET TO US. AFTER COMPLETING THE WORK, THEY SENT US A BILL WHICH WAS STRANGE BECAUSE THEY REQUIRED A CREDIT CARD WHEN WE ORDERED THE WORK. WHEN WE CALLED ABOUT THE BILL, THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD LOST THE CREDIT CARD NUMBER.

I CALLED AND LEFT A MESSAGE WITH THE COMPANY AND GOT A CALL BACK WITHIN 24 HRS. THEY WERE ABLE TO COME OUT THE NEXT DAY AND INSPECT AND SET TRAPS. TWO MALE RACCOONS WERE CAUGHT. WE THOUGHT THE CRAWLSPACE DOOR WAS BROKEN BUT IT TURNED OUT A PREVIOUS SERVICE GUY HAD NOT PUT IT BACK ON CORRECTLY. MARK SECURED IT FREE OF CHARGE. WE WERE CHARGED SLIGHTLY REDUCED RATES FOR BEING ANGIE'S LIST MEMBERS--$89 FOR THE SERVICE FEE, AND I THINK $55 PER ADULT ANIMAL CAUGHT. WE DIDN'T DO ANY COMPARISON SHOPPING WITH REGARD TO PRICE, WHICH EVEN WITH THE DISCOUNT SEEMED A BIT HIGH TO ME. OVERALL, HOWEVER, I WAS QUITE SATISFIED WITH THE PROMPTNESS AND QUALITY OF THE WORK.

CRITTER CONTROL DID WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO AND (USUALLY) LEFT DAILY PROGRESS REPORTS. THIS WAS A BIG TRAPPING EFFORT AS FIVE PINE SQUIRRELS HAD TAKEN UP RESIDENCE IN THE SECOND STORY ATTIC OF OUR NEW HOUSE (WITH A VERY STEEP ROOF). CRITTER CONTROL SET TWO ROOF TRAPS AND CHECKED THEM DAILY. NEIGHBORHOOD GRAY SQUIRRELS KEPT GETTING CAUGHT TOO, BUT CRITTER CONTROL ONLY CHARGED US FOR THE UNWANTED GUESTS, NOT THE CASUAL VISITORS. CRITTER CONTROL WORKED DILIGENTLY FOR ABOUT A MONTH UNTIL ALL FIVE WERE FINALLY TRAPPED.
Description of Work: IDENTIFIED ACCESS POINTS AND TRAPPED FAMILY OF PINE SQUIRRELS INHABITING ATTIC. SEALED ACCESS POINTS AFTER ALL 5 SQUIRRELS TRAPPED.

I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE DAILY WRITTEN REPORTS I RECEIVED FROM TRACY (THE HOMEOWNER IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE AT HOME WHEN CRITTER CONTROL COMES FOR THE INITIAL VISIT, OR THE DAILY 'CHECKS'). HE WAS VERY PUNCTUAL IN CHECKING THE TRAP EVERY MORNING AND KEEPING ME INFORMED ON HIS PROGRESS. HE EVEN CALLED WHEN OUR FIRST 'CATCH' WAS A RACCOON AND WE DISCUSSED OUR 'GAMEPLAN' FOR CATCHING, REMOVING AND RELEASING (SOMEWHERE ELSE!) BOTH THE RACCOONS AND THE OPOSSOM. HE WAS PROFESSIONAL, COURTEOUS AND HE LEFT MY PROPERTY IN THE SAME CONDITION AS HE FOUND IT WHEN HE FIRST VISITED US. THIS IS THE 2ND OR 3RD TIME OVER THE YEARS THAT I'VE USED CRITTER CONTROL AND CLEARLY THEY DESERVE MY CONTINUED BUSINESS!
Description of Work: WE HAD SPOTTED AN OPOSSOM DAMAGING OUR PROPERTY. CRITTER CONTROL CAME OUT, ASSESSED THE SITUATION, DETERMINED A COURSE OF ACTION (SETTING THE TRAP, TYPE OF BAIT, RELEASE/REMOVE AGREEMENT, ETC.), AND CAME EACH DAY TO CHECK AND RESET THE TRAP.
