The tech was looking around the house for spaces of entry. Did a very thorough check since I live in the woods. Spotted termites crawling up downspout and notified me. I thought they did an excellent job. A little expensive, but I was happy they came quickly and educated me about the issues that were coming up.
Description of Work: Came to my house, went into my crawlspace and attic. Looked for remnants of any critters. Found mice droppings and put down bait. Stated it would take 3 or so weeks for the mice to vacate.

Excellent service. The service tech met me the same afternoon I called. Tom was very instructive and helpful. They allowed me to change my mind from my initial instruction of removing all animals that were trapped to making a decision at the time of pick up. They did not hold me to the original statement of removing all animals and released the ones I asked with no charges. They only charge when they remove an animal.
Description of Work: Initial visit included a full house exterior inspection to alert us of any potential exposure to pests/animals. We had them come to trap opossums. They removed two from our property within a week and our problem was resolved.

Very pleasant experience overall. The technician was friendly and helpful, providing a cheap solution to our problem (opening our shutters for a week until the bats relocate elsewhere). Be sure to use your Angie's list coupon book for 10% off the inspection.

They said it was chipmunks and we concluded it would be very expensive to trap all of them and have them removed. The service person was very nice and offered advice on how we might be able to get rid of them on our own. About a week later, we saw raccoons digging in our yard. We purchased some raccoon repellent and will see how that works. If it doesn't, we'll probably call Critter Control again.
Description of Work: We had a problem with some animal digging in our yard. The lawn care service said it was moles. We called Critter Control and they came to our home to check it out.

We were impressed by the detail of the inspection and the explantion of how the mice were getting in. The technician was prompt and nice. He took his time at inspecting our house, and explained all the fees and services.
Description of Work: Inspection of our house and outside for how mice may have entered our garage and house. All areas of the house were checked for signs of mice. Recommendations were made at how to in the future avoid the problem from happening again. Traps were set, and a week later the technician returned and set up tamper resistant bait stations.

The service was fast and pleasant, as promised. 24 hours after my first call to Critter Control, the job was done. It was ten dollars cheaper than Varment guard (who took three days just to give me an estimate).

The company was excellent and arrived on time and did the job quickly; the worker was neat, put footsies on his feet, and cleaned up after him. I'd give him an A in each category (including price), and an A overall.
Description of Work: The guy showed up and went into my attic (like Ghostbusters) and got rid of my birds which had come in through a hole in the wood caused by a lightning strike.

THE KEY TO MOST RESPONSES WE RECEIVE ON ANGIE'S LIST IS TO BE SURE THE CLIENT WAS GENERALLY SATISFIED WITH OUR SERVICE AND THAT WE WERE TIMELY. WE WOULD RATHER CHARGE A BIT MORE AND BE GOOD, THAN BE CHEAPER AND PROVIDE LESS THAN SATISFACTORY SERVICE. WE THINK MOST HOMEOWNERS AGREE. THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

Drew was very pleasant and made the removal easy. The first night, 2 squirrels died in the traps due to extreme cold. I wished that we had thought to check the traps before we went to bed. In retrospect, we probably could have bought traps and freed the animals at a local park. However, we weren't positive originally that the holes were from chipmunks. So, I guess one needs to decide if it's worth it to have someone else do the trapping. Additionally, the company does offer to plug holes in the foundation and find any other possible entry points into the house.
Description of Work: Company determined that chipmunks were making holes in the yard and had made two holes in the foundation. Traps were set and the same person returned daily for 3 days to check the traps. Explained how they would determine that chipmunks were gone.

It was great. Jeremy was extremely thorough, and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: We had seen/heard things in the attic of our home, thought it was possible that there were mice. Jeremy came out found that indeed there were mice, set the bait that day. Also, he checked the perimeter of the house for places they would be getting into.

THEY CAME OUT AND IDENTIFIED WHERE THE BEES WERE GETTING INTO THE ATTIC. THEY SPRAYED THE AREA. THEY CAME BACK IN A COUPLE OF DAYS AND CHECKED FOR ACTIVITY. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE BEES STARTED COMING BACK INTO THE BEDROOM. THEY CAME BACK OUT AND TRIED A DIFFERENT PRODUCT. THE BEES HAVE NOT RETURNED. THERE WAS NO CHARGE FOR THE 2ND APPLICATION. THE PEOPLE I DEALT WITH WERE FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL. I WOULD USE THEM AGAIN.

TYSON WAS EXTREMELY COURTEOUS AND PROFESSIONAL. HE EXPLAINED IN GREAT DETAIL HIS EVALUATION OF OUR PROBLEM (VOLES) AND HOW TO REMOVE THEM. HE WAS ABLE TO TRAP AND REMOVE (4) VOLES OVER THE COURSE OF 2 WEEKS. HE CONSISTENTLY CHECKED AND RE-BAITED THE TRAPS, AND KEPT US INFORMED OF THE PROGRESS. OUR ONLY COMPLAINT IS THE COST - THE TRAPS USED WERE SIMPLE MOUSE TRAPS WHICH CAN BE PURCHASED AT ANY HOME IMPROVEMENT STORE FOR LESS THAN $10, AND WE FOUND THE POISON PELLETS HE USED ON THE INTERNET FOR LESS THAN $15. ALSO, ABOUT (3) WEEKS AFTER OUR CONTRACT HAD ENDED WITH CRITTER CONTROL, WE NOTICED THE VOLES WERE BACK. WE ARE NOW SETTING TRAPS OURSELVES.

WHEN WE MOVED IN, WE NEEDED FLEA REMOVAL FROM THE HOUSE'S PREVIOUS OWNERS' PETS. (PRETTY AWFUL, IF YOU'VE NEVER BEEN IN A HOUSE WITH FLEAS), THAT WORKED. ALSO USED THEM TO REMOVE SOME PESKY SQUIRRELS IN OUR ROOF, THEY WERE GOOD. WE SWITCHED TO VARMINT GUARD, AND I CAN'T QUITE REMEMBER WHY. I THINK IT WAS A COST ISSUE. IT'S ALL AN EXPENSIVE FIELD!

THEY LOOKED AT THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR. THEY PLUGGED SOME RODENT ENTRYWAYS, SET SOME TRAPS, AND PLACED POISON BAIT. THE PROBLEM IS UNDER CONTROL.
