My phone call was answered right away and the person on the phone explained who would be coming, when, what services to expect, and how much it would cost. Parker showed up right on time and was very professional. He inspected our garage, set up a trap, and took plenty of time to talk about the various animals it could be and what he suspected and why and how to prevent another animal from moving in. He followed up twice via email regarding the trap and then came and it took it away as promised.

Squirrels were caught and openings were sealed efficiently & effectively. Caged squirrels were removed within 2 hours of capture. Technician was readily accessible and was quick to respond to questions & requests. He was professional & knowledgeable.

All of the squirrels were trapped and removed. However, a gray squirrel that was not part of the infestation was trapped and charged to me. Finally, when the exterminator removed the traps, although there was not a squirrel in the traps upon pick-up, they charged for yet another squirrel. Ultimately, 2 squirrels were trapped that were part of the infestation and I was charged $504! Ridiculous and shady!!!

"We have not serviced this address since 2011. Perhaps you have us confused with another company. Please recheck your invoice for the name and call us if it is indeed Critter Control on the invoice."

<p>This is the 2nd time I've had Critter Control out to my house and both times I've been very disappointed.  They charge $189 to come out and look around the house.  The tech did not look in the areas I specifically stated I wanted in my email to Marlene.  To go into the crawl space and under the decks.  I have 3 decks and he did not go under them (yes, there is room to crawl under 2 of them.  Nor did he address my concerns in the crawl space or get into them to inspect.  He blamed my concerns on the age of the house.  What Josh pointed out to me outside was what I already was aware of.  I had to pay for someone to tell me that?  He set two traps outside to catch red squirrels.  Really?  I have lots of squirrels in my yard.  How do you know it's the one (or more) that are entering my house?  I will not pay $70 to remove "outside" squirrels from my property and I did not approve the traps to be put there.  I didn't even get a report for the "service" provided which is to show where the critters get in and how to prevent it.  I was told it would be sent to me that day (Josh was there @ noon) by email and it was not.  </p> <p>I read another review similar to what happened to me.  I sure would like to know the service he eventually went with to fix his issue.  </p> <br />

"Josh inspected [Member Name Removed]'s house on February 15. He found two areas where red squirrels were getting into the attic and one area where chipmunks and red squirrels were getting into the crawl space. Neither of these areas [Member Name Removed] was aware of. The hole she indicated they were getting in at was actually no hole at all. For the placement of the traps Josh went into great detail why the traps were to be set in the specific places he indicated. No disapproval in trap placement was indicated.. She was informed that we were only after red squirrels and if we caught a fox squirrel we would release them because that is not the species of squirrel we were after. As far as the deck complainant Josh stated to her numerous times that he would pull up deck boards on the two decks he was not able to crawl under. He wanted to wait for warmer weather so as to have a less likely chance of the boards breaking being in a frozen state. [Member Name Removed] seemed fine with waiting, but called to complain about looking under the decks even before the weather warmed up. The third deck Josh could inspect the foundation without having to crawl under it. In the crawl space area it was obvious to Josh that chipmunks and red squirrels were getting in through the tornado doors. Because there was digging in the basement and Josh could see it from the basement crawlspace area he did not need to crawl all the way over to inspect the piles of dirt that he could see from where he was. There was plenty of chipmunk and red squirrel activity in the basement and in the crawlspace to determine the problem. Plus since the entry area for the critters into the crawlspace was with the tornado doors there was nothing we could do to prevent them from coming in there. As far as the untimely email goes the corporate mandated new field program is not yet without its glitches and lost the email address [Member Name Removed] provided. Josh noticed it at 9pm that night when finishing up the reports of the day. He didn't call her that late so first thing the next morning, after checking the traps, he knocked on her door to tell her about the email address disappearing. She was not there so he left a note to contact the office and supply the email address again so he could send her the report. The office never received a call supplying the email address. After three days the service provider did regain the email address for us after a fashion, but we still had contact with [Member Name Removed] to straighten it out. This was an unfortunate experience for all involved. She was refunded the service call fee."

"I'm sorry we could not solve your situation overnight. We gave prices for exclusion but are not qualified for fixing chimneys that are departing from the side of the house. The animal situation did not appear overnight. We had scheduled the exclusion work we could do to be done a few days out, but you declined to wait the few days."

"Here were the findings - 11/13/14 hearing sounds in living room ceiling periodically at anytime of day or night. Dead mouse in basement, though could not find evidence of much activity. Bat droppings coming out of soffit on south side of chimney where roof meets brick. Lots of snow. Will have to inspect roof at a later date when not snow covered 12/1 nothing since last visit. Finished inspection. No paper moved. Tacked some nails back down that were in chimney flashing but don't look like entries. Recommend keeping a few mouse traps in garage. Between the DeCon and tacking down some areas it looks like the problem is solved."

No critters were found. He removed the traps, covered the hole with a large patio paver stone I had nearby. He left a status report. <br /> There was an extra charge for each critter he caught to be removed. He informed me about that on day one. <br />

Called to discuss bat removal and our options. Very good information and took the time to explain the process. Peter came out and inspected our property and the access points the bats were using. He cleaned up the area where the bats were most active and made some repairs as well. Peter was very helpful and also explained step-by-step what he was doing. Seems to be working, we are bat free, he will be back out to reinspect the areas for any activity.

Critter Control was contacted at 8:00 am about skunk removal. Josh arrived promptly and the skunk was gone by 8:44 am. He was professional, polite, and efficient! We have used Critter Control at our business for racoon removal and would recommend them to anyone needing professional, courteous, and effective service. They are an excellent provider. <br />
