Critter Control of Northern Virginia

Description of Work: Cleaned out birds in vents. Caged the vents. Cleaned dead birds out of Microwave vent. We were so relieved and greatly served by a real professional. We couldn't be more please and would HIGHLY recommend the company and would use them in the future. Great job Angie!

Description of Work: I had squirrels in my attic. They set traps to remove them over a few week period.

Description of Work: I used Critter Control for pest control services.

Description of Work: I called to ask for a possum to be removed from a cubby along the side of my house. I think he's sleeping. The operator said that the technician would not available for two more days.

Description of Work: I have a lot of holes in my yard. I didn't know if they were coming from grubs or moles. Critter Control is putting some traps in the holes and tunnels. He is checking if new holes are popping up.

Description of Work: We used Critter Control when we had raccoons in our attic. They caught one raccoon that was in the attic. They also did the capping of the roof/fireplace. They sealed all the areas where the raccoons could enter. We also had them clean up in the attic.

Description of Work: The came to analyze which animals were in our attic & recommend what to do.

Description of Work: Called for a rodent problem. Service provide included putting large traps in the interior and black trap boxes outside. Service included 3 additional visits weekly to check status of traps as well as closing entry points into house.

Description of Work: They removed dead animals and trapped live animals in my attic.

Description of Work: We had hornets that built a next by going through a hole in the eaves on the back of our house. Critter Control came out promptly when called and used chemicals that killed all the hornets.

Description of Work: Identified animal (bird) in wall, located and determined how best to resolve the issue. Also determined how the bird entered the house/wall and fixed that issue.

Description of Work: I had squirrels in my attic. They set traps near point of entrance, removed animals, the added grid over the entry point to prevent future recurrence.

Description of Work: Crawl space insulation and encapsulation. This basically took my crawl space under an 80 year old house that was prone to rodent infestation and encapsulated it so that it is environmentally like unfinished indoor space. I choose them as I beleived they would primarily approach the job to make the crawl space difficult for rodents to penetrate.

Description of Work: They did an initial assessment and set a trap. They said they would trap for 10 days (excluding weekends). They removed the trap after 3 days. They didn't come back or call. When we called the office, they said the technician was sick/out for the week. We asked for our money back. They said no. They never followed up after that. We called again multiple times to no avail. When we called for our money back the last time, they offered $25. This company is unreliable and unprofessional. I have had to pay another company to come out and perform the same services Critter Control failed to perform.

Description of Work: They came for snake removal.

Description of Work: He fixed a screen that was designed to keep pests out of our AC unit.

Description of Work: I had a raccoon in my attic. The fellow who came out was knowledgeable. He identified the raccoon signs quickly, and came up with an effective plan to trap it and keep pests out. It would have been nice to see proof of the raccoon being caught before it was removed, but that is just nit-picking. They placed some kind of barrier over my attic fan to keep pests out in the future, since I can't see on my roof I have no idea what it looks like or the quality of it so a picture would have been nice.

Description of Work: I used Critter Control Of Northern Virginia for cutting mice.

Description of Work: I had squirrels in my attic.

Description of Work: We had mice and a rat in the crawl space of our new home. Another pest control company placed poison bait in boxes throughout the house. This caused a big, stinky problem when the "guests" ended up dying in the crawl space. I won't go into what the previous company didn't do, but rather what Critter Control DID do. They removed all carcasses, crawled into corners of the crawl space I didn't know were humanly possible, checked our insulation for nests, and placed traps both in the crawl space and outside.

Description of Work: They fixed my problem and it cost twice a much as I expected. They told me the price in advance but they did add on a travel charge that I was not aware of. The fee I paid was what we agreed to plus a travel charge. They were clean, efficient and courteous. If money is not your concern, these folks are great at ridding your attic of animals.

Description of Work: On Jan 12, 2011, they (one guy) came out to inspect and had me sign all sorts of contracts. Only assessment was done. The price was $285 to trap the wildlife (assumed a gray squirrel) and an additional $350 to install the RVG (stainless steel) screen in front of the attic fan as the wildlife destroyed the existing screen. I got subsequent phone calls that they had not been able to come out due to snow. Eventually the wildlife left (~2 weeks later). I called the office to tell them not to trap anymore but to install the RVG screen. The guy called me back. Then he came out finally on Jan 25, 2011, after calling to complain that nothing has been done, the guy came out at 7:15AM (ouch) to put a trash bag over the attic fan. Then we wait a few days to see if the wildlife returns. Then the guy tells me since it he's not trapping the animal that there's a $100-something charge to inspect. That was not discussed initially. So, I had to call the office to dispute. Most places have free inspections. This surprise charge was never discussed. So the office waived this $100-something charge since it wasn't on the initial contract. I had to call again to find out when they are actually going to remove the trash bag over the attic fan and install the RVG. And that's when an appointment was setup on Feb 11, 2011 to finish the work (install). And the guy changed the appointment time again but this time, he made it later rather than earlier. 7:15AM is just way too early but his reason was that I was on route to some business and had to be that early.

Description of Work: Inspected my home for rodent infestation. Inspected exterior and interior. Placed bait traps on two levels. Explained the problem, how to remedy it, and made an appointment for followup.

Description of Work: They came out and sprayed for many different bugs/animals.

Description of Work: We moved into an older home and when spring time came around we discovered that we had Rat Snakes living inside our unfinished basement. We called Critter Control and they sent out Paul - who I know have on speed dial and was very thorough - removed two snakes, identified where they were coming into the home, set traps, and checked back periodically over the following two weeks until the issue had been resolved. They charge $250 for the assessment and $50 for each non-venimous snake they remove and $100 for venimous snakes. Considering they came out 4-5 times over a two week period the amount spent was well worth it.
