"While the service was great initially, got rid of a rat trapped in the house right away and did the outside exclusion also, their service after that has stunk! Promises to come back with better bait and live traps…hasn’t happened. They don’t show up on a regular basis! I still have rats running around my yard!!! I paid a large sum of money to get rid of these things and they are still here !"

William H.

"We had an animal under our front steps. They came out, accessed the situation and gave us the plan of work. They followed it, gave us a daily update and caught the skunk! If we have to, I'd call them again and highly recommend to anyone else!"

"My experience with Critter Control has been very positive all around! The technician, Amber, that I worked with was exceptionally good! If I ever have an issue in the future...Critter Control is the first place I'd call and I'd specifically request Amber to service the site. She's professional, dependable, thorough, an excellent communicator and she gets the job done!"

"The people that we dealt with were responsive and informative. They spent time checking all parts of our house and then put “boxes” outside…my only complaint is that they never gave us a report on the status of the boxes even tho we requested one via email.."
