Critter Control was founded in 1983 by Kevin Clark, who had a new vision for animal control and wildlife removal: to consistently practice humane wildlife management. Critter Control handles all types of household pests but focuses on vertebrate pests such as squirrels, raccoons, rats, and a variety of birds. Its service focuses on eliminating animals, preventing future damage and repairing the existing damage.
Critter Control has determined standards of excellence in animal pest control, and the company upholds these standards with its professional staff of biologists, zoologists, animal control officers, and anti-cruelty personnel.
Critter Control has introduced CritterSafe that offers an even more humane wildlife management option. CritterSafe offers non-lethal animal removal services, no-trap animal control, wildlife release on-site, and one-way doors to help minimize stress on wild animals. CritterSafe also includes an exclusive Animal Entry Worksheet, home inspection and detection service to identify potential wildlife entry points and prevent animals from further damaging a home or business.
Homeowners and businesses can expect the following services when they call Critter Control:
CritterSafe is the environmentally-friendly animal removal alternative for residential and commercial properties that uses humane wildlife techniques to help protect wild animals.
Critter Control is the nation's leading wildlife control company. The company specializes in preventing and solving its customer's pest and animal problems. The company offers animal trapping, dead animal removal, wild animal control, and capturing wild animals. Many of the Critter Control offices also provide pest control and exterminator services.
Critter Control has advocated for humane animal removal services. Critter Control uses innovative, integrated methods to handle nuisance animals responsibly.
With every unwanted wildlife situation Critter Control first identifies the point of entry, traps or removes the animal, then start working on preventing other animals from getting in. Critter Control offers efficient and affordable solutions for wildlife insects, varmint, and other critters, such as:
In short, Critter Control is equipped to handle just about any pest problem it encounters. That said, the company specifically states on its website that they will not get rid of a dog or cat.
The professionals at Critter Control may use several different methods of habitat modification and exclusion to effectively keep wild animals from entering a home. Habitat modification identifies and limits access to food, water, and shelter for the target species, whereas, exclusion techniques entail sealing points of entry, placing screens over vents, or establishing some type of barrier.
Your Critter Control technician will quickly identify the wild animal, determine the best course of action and develop an effective (yet safe) plan of defense.
While Critter Control mostly focuses on wildlife management does offer other services. Customers can help reduce the cost of their energy bills by replacing or adding the correct amount of attic insulation. Critter Control advises customers to check with the U.S. Department of Energy’s website to find out if the existing attic insulation matches current government recommendations.
The Critter Control team can also fill an attic with T.A.P., a green insulation made from recycled paper that incorporates a borate-based pest control into the product. T.A.P. is said to outperform traditional insulation, but the best part is that it helps keep unwanted ants, termites, and cockroaches at bay.
Critter Control does offer financing options through AMS Financial. Customers can call Critter Control and talk to a technician to get an estimate of a price range, but an inspection will be necessary to provide an exact cost.
While many other pest control companies give a detailed description of their plans, Critter Control’s procedures are not outlined in depth. The company provides a brief overview of the plan, but that is it. This is not necessarily a problem, especially in the case of one-time-need animal removal. Critter Control promises to practice humane animal treatment and to use eco-aware chemicals, when necessary. However, because individuals must first share address and contact information to receive a quote, whereas a more detailed plan would likely make potential clients much more comfortable.
Critter control does not appear to offer any lawn or garden services to its customers specifically fertilization, weed control, and hot spot management.
Critter Control is offered in 38 states + Washington D.C. They even serve Ontario and Quebec.
Customers can find a nearby Critter Control branch in these states:
Critter Control is not the standard type of pest control, although the company offers that as well. If customers are experiencing raccoons in their garbage cans, squirrels in the attic, coyotes eating the pet food, or mice and rats chewing up electrical wires, Critter Control is a great choice to remove unwanted pests and animals safely.
Because there are a number of factors that determine how much removing the wild animals from your property will cost: location of the animal (chimney, crawl space, attic, etc.), the condition of the animal (sick, dead, aggressive, etc.), the time of year, and the condition of the property, Critter Control does not disclose prices. Although customers interested in using Critter Control to get rid of nuisance animals are encouraged to call and get an estimate.
For customers looking for help beyond the typical pest control, Critter Control should be a top choice, but if you’re looking for an exclusively Pest Control Company we suggest you take a look at the highest-rated pest control service providers.
