Get matched with top rodent pest control pros in Troutdale, OR

"Back in late March, I was hearing noises in my attic, which I could not determine what was making them. After I heard gnawing above my kitchen ceiling in April, I called a pest control company (NOT Critter Control). They sent a technician to my house who looked in the attic and proclaimed it was rodents (rats/mice). That sounded reasonable enough, as rats and mice do gnaw. This company put out bait stations, one in the attic and one outdoors.
However, on Saturday April 10, I spotted a squirrel climb from my roof, into a soffit vent above my side door, and disappear. After that, I heard noises in the attic again. So, thinking I was being helpful, I contacted the pest control company and told them I had seen a squirrel enter the attic. They offered to put up screening on my soffit vent, so the same technician came out to do this on Thursday. After doing this, he seemed irritated with me. I don't know if he sincerely believed it was still rats or mice, and just didn't like having to put up screening, but it was off putting to say the least. He said he had provided all these options, but the only options I was offered by him or his employer were to put up screening, or continue monitoring the bait stations (which does nothing about squirrels in the attic). Huh? I had no evidence of rats or mice in the house, but direct evidence of squirrels (seeing one seems pretty direct to me.) I will admit my college biology is a bit rusty, but I am pretty sure I can tell the difference between a squirrel and a rat.
After witnessing the desperate mother squirrel try to get back in the attic, I then contacted Critter Control, by this point practically hysterical. They sent out a technician (Wally) who listened to what I had to say, including my concerns and my account of my less than stellar experience with the other company. Wally confirmed that I did indeed have squirrels, including removing one that unfortunately had passed away, and saying NOTHING about rats or mice. Then he proceeded to put up an exclusion door, so any squirrels in the attic could get out, but those outside could not get back in. After about a week, he put a trap in the attic if there were any squirrels left who wouldn't leave. There were not, it turned out. So after the exclusion door had been on about a week and a half, he put screening back on the soffit vent. I have not seen or heard any squirrel activity since, so I am a very happy customer. If you suspect in the least you could be dealing with something other than rats/mice, save yourself some time and anguish, and call Critter Control. I would probably also recommend them for rats/mice, but I don't have the direct experience.

"Providing quarterly service - Courteous and always address spider issues with pest control matters"

"Excellently! Raccoons had nested in between our subroofs and had left urine and feces all over the roof. Get Smart closed off all potential entryways for raccoons to nest on roof. Raccoons gone! They then sanitized the entire roof. Important with a 2-yo and 4-yo at home. Great job! Roughly 1.5 years later, our roof became a "latrine" for local raccoons. Not living there, just visiting at night and littering the roof with feces and urine. It was a mess. Get Smart used a series of humane tactics to keep raccoons from coming onto our roof at all. They monitored and viewed as activity decreased to 0. They then sanitized the roof to remove all raccoon feces and urine. No raccoons harmed in either process. Brandon (owner) and Get Smart stopped by frequently to monitor, and we also are extremely happy with their services for rodent, opossum and ant control. Brandon is an animal and insect behavioralist and expert, predicts and counters their next moves, and is incredibly smart, effective and humane in all practices. I'd highly recommend them for all pest control needs. Our trust is such that we now have them on a seasonal retainer to monitor and help make our home more comfortable, as we continue to reside on land native to insects and wild animals! Cannot recommend this business highly enough!"

"Eric is very knowledgeable about pest control. He is more than willing to discuss our property and point out possible issues and their resolution."

"Excellent service! Mike was very informative on what he was doing to get rid of the rodents around our place! I highly recommend this business!"

"They did a great job!  Would highly recommend Bug Zapper Pest Control!"

"Great. It was a long process but they kept coming back as planned to ensure the problem was solved before they finished sealing up the crawl space. We have not had any issues with rodents since and I am so thankful. It has been a few years since they did their work so I feel pretty confident in giving them a great review. I forget what we paid but it was worth it"

"This review is for Paul Peters. He did a thorough job of setting my back patio area up with a live trap to attract the rats. In our neighborhood a field was dug up recently so houses could be built. The whole neighborhood has trouble with rats now. Also there is a pond which attracts them. Paul did a thorough job of checking my crawl space and, luckily, that is clear. He communicates clearly and even lent me a helping hand to take everything out of the hall closet where the access to the crawl space lies. He is a very likeable guy. He watches out for your carpets and floors too by wearing booties. I feel that by signing this contract the company will take care of this problem for me. I think it’s going to be an ongoing thing, unfortunately. He said they will come back to pick up the dead rodents too. This is so gross. I can’t even stand to think about it. They are harboring under my outside patio. Horrifying! But now I can lay this all on Paul’s shoulders instead of mine. Whew! Give the company a call and ask for Paul Peters. You will be glad you did."
