Critter Control usually sends someone to set traps within a couple of days, and moles have always been trapped within 24 hours of the traps being set. Most recently, a mole was tearing up my garden. I called in the evening, CC sent someone the next day and the mole was trapped that day preventing further damage to my plants.
Description of Work: I have had a year-long contract for mole removal with them for the past three years.When mole activity is seen, I call Critter Control who sends someone out to set traps. $99 for the contract and first mole trapped. $69 for each mole thereafter.

Critter Control was very prompt in responding to our call, looked in the area, gave us an idea of what he thought the problem might be, and set traps. We immediately caught them – they were not what we thought (something larger), but mice that had gotten in the eaves through a dryer vent cap that had come undone outside. The owner of Critter Control was very polite. My only issue was that he tried to sell us on a “fix” to our house – to prevent critters from entering. His list of fixes was extensive and his estimate was around $800. My issue with the estimate was that he did not really understand what was going on with our home. We have a solid block home, constructed over 100+ years ago – very odd construction, that had been recently totally gutted – everything was new from the roof, eaves & such on down. True solid block construction does not allow anything (i.e. mice) to run between walls, since we have no dead space - it is solid block. I explained this to the owner when he gave me the estimate, but he looked at me blankly (I am an engineer) as if I were nutty. He proceeded to tell me how we needed to caulk around the tops of our solid concrete windows & such – it was a crazy conversation. I probably would have paid him to reinstall the mesh that had come off the dryer vent, located outside one of the eaves of our home, but based on the conversation I decided I could do it myself. I loved their work, I hated the hard sell he offered at the end – maybe it is needed it some cases, but in our case it was not and left me feeling less than pleased. Not sure I would call them again if I had an issue.
Description of Work: We had some critters in the eaves of our home.

Peter Riney came out installed 2 traps around the hole and captured the groundhog the first night, he also disposed of the groundhog. He monitored the traps for a couple of days to make sure there were not other animals to trap and removed the traps. The cost was $270. I was completely satisfied.
Description of Work: I had a groundhog that decided to make a home under my foundation.

They were great each time. They were on time. They do a great job for me and everything has been very positive. They always come out when they say. If it is a bad problem, they will adjust their schedule. The pricing was reasonable as well. I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: I had them come out new times. They came out because I had dead critter under my washing machine, which they removed. I had swift birds in my chimney and they followed the legal guidelines for not removing them. The last time I thought there was a dead animal under my crawl space, but they found it was a plumbing issue.

All went just as they promised - I see a couple bats each spring since then but they cannot enter the house and are gone in a couple of days.
Description of Work: They sealed openings around porch soffit - allowed the bats to leave but kept them from re-entry - after a week they sealed the opening. Also baited the attic for mice.

Everything worked out very well. They used a one way tube and the bat has not returned. They also inspected and sealed any other places around the house for preventative reasons. They were very good and communicated with us well. They educated us on the job.

The guy seemed to know what to do to keep the birds out. Everything has been working well so far. I have not seen any birds in the areas he worked on. He is knowledgeable about animals and how to prevent them.
Description of Work: They put some steel mesh underneath my deck to keep birds from building nests. This was a preventative measure since I had the problem last year.

They offered eradication. It was little pricey. They showed up on time and gave us some ideas. Overall it was a good experience. They were very helpful. Again, it was little pricey. The fact that it wasn’t snakes, it wasn’t as big an issue.
Description of Work: We had them come out because we thought we had snakes. We actually had field mice.

They were not the friendliest technicians. We had problems with them while they were here. They did not tell us when they were going to show and just appeared one night and started to work. The work they did, we did not have problems with. The communication was not good. I would not use them again in the future.

It went great. Easy to do business with, quick, courteous, and professional. Explained everything.
Description of Work: Super professional and quick. Called around noon to get rid of a couple of birds that got down my chimney into my fireplace. Called and they had a technician named Ben out in about an hour. He took care of the problem in about 20 minutes, did a full inspection and gave me an estimation on a chimney cap and louvre screen. He explained everything as well. No pressure on future stuff although they did show me what I could do in the future. They just focused on the tasks I really needed doing. No upselling or anything. Scheduled some more work this same day. I am sure they will be terrific. It's expensive but worth it!

When we found the original possum I called Critter Control and they came out and captured the small baby possum. They then put traps out. Over about 10 days we caught 10 possums. The bulk of the cost was for them to install permanent metal fencing that goes from our deck and underground about a foot. We haven't had any problems since then. They solution to our problem was rather expensive, but I don't know if anyone else in town would have been any cheaper. We were very impressed by their promptness in picking up trapped animals and the quality of the work on the metal fencing.
Description of Work: I woke up one morning to find a baby possum in our kitchen. We later learned that they were in our crawl space and basement.
