It had gone well. Jeremy came over when he had said he would for our initial appointment. The initial costs just to get started was $259.00. Subsequently we had to pay another $105.00 (removing the chipmunks - once trapped), which was reasonable but make sure you get FULL communications on any charges. Anyway, there was more than one chipmunk, and Jeremy had come back each time to our home in a methodical manner to ensure that this chipmunk family was gone! I would choose him (American Animal) over another highly rated and leading competitor (AAA).
Description of Work: We had our bedroom exterior (rodents) wall activity in October, which didn't seem like mice at all. Based on our previous experiences and behavior of mice. It turned out we had chipmunks that had decided to burrow, or make a possible coming winter home into our outside exterior wall at the home's foundation level. Jeremy had extracted them through a couple of live traps near the suspect hole.

We have worked with American Animal Control on a number of issues. In additional to routine insect and rodent control, we have also worked with them on the abatement and prevention of squirrels in our attic. In all cases, Jeremy is always punctual and professional. Thank you!

I'd give them A's and B's on everything. The worst they'd get is a B and it was on the fact that they came once too often when they didn't have to cage them. If we have any squirrels in our attic, we'll use them.
Description of Work: They did squirrel control in the past year. They caged them and took them out to the hill and got rid of them to the big park out there.

I called Friday afternoon. The phone call was returned same day and appointment was scheduled for early Saturday morning. Mike arrived on time and quickly got to work. We explained where we had seen the ants come in. He sprayed around all the baseboards, the basement under the area and around the perimeter of the house. Within 24 hours the ants were gone. AAC stated that if I saw and ants within the next 7 days in another area they would come back and spray. They also have a 60 day guaranty. I would call again.

They come immediately when we have a problem. They came the same day and everybody said they would be there in a week for the bees. We had it last year and again this year in a different spot. I pay $55 every 3 months. They got rid of my bees.
Description of Work: We had a very bad bee problem in our house. We also have a monthly service for mice. They put traps out for my mice.

We've used American Animal Control before. We had liked their approach and the work. That's why we had asked them back. They're on time and professional. They're competitive in pricing with some of the other top rated companies here, IF not sometimes less. Mike had said he saw no evidence of any squirrel or chipmunk. He had said it maybe mice. Pest control is an ongoing process usually. One other company had wanted to come over and use a trained bed bug sniffing dog for a bed bug problem that we DON'T have! For $250!! We recommend this company: American Animal Control.
Description of Work: Mike (a technician) had come out and sprayed for spiders outside and inside our home's perimeters. And, he added mice poison in our existing bait boxes in the attic and basement at our request. We had heard some kind of recent isolated rodent activity in the attic.

Ryan came out, put up some traps, and checked them, even on the coldest days of winter. He removed two squirrels and thought everything was good, so fixed up the soffit. Then, I heard the squirrels up there again. So he reset the traps and caught two more. Did not charge for the second setup. Very fair and fixed the problem.

Description of Work: Ryan came and assessed our roof and found the probably point of entry of the squirrels. Set traps and relocated 4 squirrels once they were caught. Then patched up the vents.

In the 10 years that I?ve owned my home, squirrels have entered my attic soffits three times and each time I had them professional removed. When I started hearing noises in the soffits late in 2/2013, I assumed the squirrels had come back for more. I contacted AAC and Ryan, the tech, saw a hole for possible squirrel entry and agreed to clog the hole and to set-up a trap for squirrel capture. We negotiated the charge of $135 for Inspection/setup and service and instead of a cost per squirrel capture/removal, we agree upon a flat fee of $145 for a total cost of $275. Funny thing, though, after over a week ? There was no attempt to dislodge the clogged entryway by a squirrel, no squirrels were captured in the trap and there was no more noise overhead. Being satisfied, I paid AAC for their installation fee and trap set of $145 in early January and Ryan, the tech, went on his way. Ryan, did, though, tell me to give him a call if I heard additional noise and they?d be back and charge me only for the removal of the squirrels. Early 1/2014, the noises returned. Ryan arrived while I was away and couldn?t find another squirrel entryway. When we spoke next, he concluded that I actually had mice instead of squirrels. He returned to caulk all but one potential entryway around the outside of my home on Monday, 2/3/13 and asked that I inform him of the noise volume by Thursday. By Thursday, the noises had diminished by nearly 90%. Ryan returned on 2/7, added a few traps and poison in the attic overhangs inside my home and left with a smile, a handshake and a request to give him a call should any noise returns. This occurred with no additional charge for services. Overall, I was satisfied with the service and professionalism displayed by Ryan and American Animal Control.

We had a problem with pine squirrels running up and down our gutters and possibly getting into our attics (condo building). One also got into an attic, where a trap was set, and the squirrel was caught with 24 hours. American was very prompt every time we called. I would certainly recommend their work. I dealt with John on the phone and with Jeremy personally. They were both very professional to work with.

It went very well. The person that answered the call was professional and informative. He told me exactly what would be done to solve my problem and how much it would cost. He was explicit that there would not be any pressure to sign a contract or to have any follow up services. He set up an appointment same day. Ryan, the technician, arrived when he said he would. He was polite and professional. He quickly found where the mice were getting in and sealed up the area. He checked inside and outside the house. He repeated the message that no contracts were ever pushed but his recommendation was to put traps outside for a while until the problem was outside but it was completely my choice and that he come back in two months to check them. The cost was exactly what was quoted. Ryan was patient and nice to my curious son, and my enthusiastic dog. And most importantly, I have not seen any evidence of any mice in the house since he was here!!!!
Description of Work: Checked exterior and interior of the house to see where the mice where getting in. Plugged holes that were found. Put down traps inside and outside.

He (Mike) arrived on time for the estimate and the estimate was right on the money as to the number of squirrels that would need to be removed and the length of time it would take. He explained completely what they would do. The traps were checked daily and the squirrels were removed promptly. Thoroughly happy with this company's service.

They responded in a timely manner, picked up the animals when I called & were friendly. There is a flat set up rate, then a charge per animal.
Description of Work: This summer I had opossums, then skunks move under my front concrete steps. I live in the Bay View area, within 2 blocks of Lake Michigan. I had managed to get the skunks to leave twice before, but the usual remedies did not work this time. During 2 periods of time this summer, they humanely trapped 3 possums, 1 raccoon and 2 skunks. They used vanilla wafers, marshmallows & traps.

They are great. They are super flexible. No contracts. Its all about what you decide you need. He came out...looked all over for entry points. Unfortunately I may have some under my deck which is too close to the ground to get under and they may also be coming in between my condo and the condo attached to me so there is no real way to stop points of entry, but he did try to seal the areas that he could get to. I didn't want any glue traps or poison so they offered me a box with a snap trap that resets itself so it can get multiple mice. Then it was up to me to empty it or I can have them come back out and empty it any time I want. He went under my crawl space and in my attic and set up traps. Then when I asked him about saw dust around my tree he put a stick in the tree and carpenter ants came out so I hired them to treat that also. They are very reasonable and flexible and patient. They made me feel much better about my situation just knowing they are available to stay on top of it so I don't have to figure out how to dispose of the mice. Also they were the only people that weren't insisting on glue traps and contracts.
Description of Work: I had them out to see if they could find an entry point for mice I was getting in my basement. Once they were here I also noticed saw dust around my tree so I had them look at that too and confirm it was carpenter ants.

After finding a few mice in our basement, we decided to call for professional help. American animal control was able to send a technician within hours. He checked for places where mice could be entering the house, then sealed them up. He also left poison to take care of any that were still inside. I was impressed by his thoroughness and professionalism. It was also reassuring that everything he did was safe for our pet cats. Four months later and no new visitors!

They leave traps to catch the animals that have gotten into our home and garage. They also remove an relocate the animals after they are caught. They took out a squirrel that had ripped into garage, and have assisted us with other animal problems, as well. The company is so knowledgeable about animals, their behavior patterns, how they enter, and what problems we have. The workers climbed on the roof to put cages on the roof, and even between the walls. They do not charge until they are certain that you are absolutely pest free. They definitely go above and beyond, even doing minor repairs to ensure animals do not get in again.

I definitely recommend American Animal Control. They were fast, friendly, and well-priced. I had a mouse problem in my garage and a worker arrived on the same day. He was very helpful in locating the problem, explaining how and why the mice were entering my garage, and where they were most probably nesting. He cleaned out the area where the mice were nesting and the food source causing the problem. He set two traps inside the garage and two on the outside, explaining that he would come back in two months to see if I wanted to continue to keep the bait traps, depending on how much they had worked. There is no contract, so it's very flexible. He also explained that I would have to fix cracks in my garage and my garage door to prevent mice from entering in the future, but that the traps on the outside would kill them before they entered and that the lack of an inside food source would help minimize their entrance. I've been very happy so far. The traps have been working, so I will determine next month if I want to continue using them for another two months to ensure the mice are completely gone. I like that I'm not bound by a contract. It was a very positive experience overall, and I'd definitely call them again for any pest problems.

We had a mouse that would scamper around the ceiling of our family room. The room itself in an addition, so the mouse was contained to the one spot. We tried to take care of the situation ourselves, but were unable to do so. We called up American Animal Control. They came right out to our house, and took care of the situation. No more scampering!

After finding deceased mice in our basement, we contacted American Animal Control to perform an overall assessment of our home and it's accessibility to things like mice. They spent about an hour-hour and a half inspecting both the interior and exterior of our home and placed 3 bait stations outside, and 2-3 inside. One of the bait stations was tempting to our toddler and dog, and after a brief phone call, they moved it out of temptation zone (within a couple of hours). We plan to have them return in 2 months (as recommended). I labeled "quality" as n/a because I think the litmus test will be in the fall when the mice are looking for a warm heated home.
