DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE Michael called me the day of my scheduled estimate to tell me they are far too busy to take on new clients. When I pressed the issues and stated how inconvenient it was to call the day of and cancel, then his tune changed and he asked if my husband was available in 30 mins for him to come by. Our appointment was between 12-2 pm and that’s what we planned for not 10 am. Completely unprofessional I never leave reviews but avoid this company at all costs

Provider response

I have to say this company exceeded my expectations. I was a bit keary as I was getting familiar with rodent exclusions, however, they beat everyone else’s price, were prompt and courteous and got the job done quickly and efficiently. They explained the process, answered all my questions and eased my anxiety.

Provider response

Thanks for the wonderful review! We know rodent issues can feel overwhelming, so it’s great to hear our team could answer your questions and help put your mind at ease. Thank you for trusting Critter Control!

We have had a great experience with Critter Control and especially with their tech, Shannon. He is so knowledgeable, thorough, and personable. He is always on time for appointments and has done such a great job getting rid of our pesky flying squirrels. Any time we have had an issue, he answers my texts and gets back with me Asap. I highly recommend Critter Control and Shannon!!!

Provider response

Getting rid of flying squirrels can be a real challenge, so it’s nice to hear that Shannon got them sorted out for you. We appreciate you highlighting his thoroughness and quick communication. Thanks for the high recommendation!

Avoid Critter Control if you're looking for a company that can actually solve a snake problem. I hired them specifically to perform exclusion work because snakes were getting into my attic. The entire point of hiring a professional wildlife exclusion company is that they're supposed to identify and seal the entry points. Instead, snakes continued getting into my attic after the work was completed. Critter Control came back at least five different times attempting to address the issue. Five. If a company has to repeatedly return to fix the same problem and the problem still isn't solved, what exactly did I pay for in the first place? Fast forward several years, and I'm STILL dealing with snakes. The exclusion work clearly failed to eliminate whatever access points were allowing them into the attic. When I recently reached out for assistance, I was essentially told that because I didn't continue paying for warranty coverage, they weren't interested in helping. Let's be clear: my frustration isn't about an expired warranty. My frustration is that the original problem was never actually solved despite multiple service visits. A warranty doesn't magically turn failed exclusion work into successful exclusion work. I paid professionals to solve a problem. They came back over and over again, never permanently fixed it, and now wash their hands of it because the warranty period has ended. Based on my experience, Critter Control either could not identify the snake entry points, could not properly seal them, or both. Either way, years later I still have the same problem I hired them to fix. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this company for snake exclusion services to look elsewhere.

I contracted with Critter Control to remove some squirrels living in my attic. Everything was going great from sales through the blocking off entry into our house then nothing. I have reached out to no avail. I paid for several service items and they took the full payment without finishing the work. No one from their office has called me. Poor customer service. I would not recommend this company.

Provider response

Thank you for sharing this feedback with us. We apologize for any inconveniences. We have reached out to the management team and confirmed a follow up appointment has been scheduled. Please know that we take these concerns seriously and want to ensure that these issues are resolved to your satisfaction. Thank you again for your feedback and the opportunity to make things right.

3700 to remove some raccoons and reinforce my roof?... he didn't go into much details on what would be done exactly. It didn't seem fairly priced considering he didn't really look at my entire home well enough and was pretty quick on coming and going i guess he was busy or annoyed i didn't accept the price because he left his shoe covers in my front door and gave off that "your wasting my time" vibe as he left. Didn't come off as rude but also didn't seem to care about my situation, I'll just save that 3700 and do it myself

Provider response

We are sorry to hear that your experience did not leave a better impression. Our inspections are intended to identify current wildlife activity, locate vulnerable entry points, and provide recommendations for removal and preventative repairs. Pricing can vary significantly depending on the scope of work needed to safely resolve the issue and help prevent future problems. We also apologize if the interaction felt rushed or impersonal, as that is never the experience we want customers to have. We understand that deciding on wildlife services is a significant investment, and we always want customers to feel informed and comfortable with the recommendations provided. We appreciate your feedback and have shared it with our management team.

I've used Critter Control for a few years. It all started with a pesky chipmunk who ruined my front yard. Yesterday, I discovered two dead critters in a medium garbage can while preparing for my son's repast. Keith was here in less than 24 hrs and removed everything. As a matter of fact, I didn't know he removed it until I walked outside!

Provider response

Thank you for your kind review. We are so thankful for your continued trust in our services, and we are so glad we could help with the critters.

i had a bird in my glass enclosed fireplace. Preston came out and did a very thorough job to seal the place where the bird had entered. he discovered a completely blocked vent and opened it and sealed the entry. He was a pleasure to work with and completed the job with excellence. Very polite and friendly too! i highly recommend him.

Provider response

Thank you for this kind feedback and for the kind words about Preston! We are so glad we could help with the bird problem, and your recommendation means so much to us!

I had an extremely frustrating and costly experience with this company. I was initially quoted over $2,000 just to remove a squirrel, with no clear explanation that this price included a year-long service plan—something I would have declined had it been properly disclosed. It only got worse from there. They missed a scheduled animal removal appointment without notice, then repeatedly charged my credit card for services I neither approved nor needed. At one point, they even showed up at my home without my knowledge and charged me $489. Attempts to resolve the issue were completely ignored—no returned calls, no accountability, no explanation. In total, I was charged $1,778 for services that were unnecessary and poorly communicated. This company demonstrates a serious lack of transparency, professionalism, and customer

Provider response

We are sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this situation must be. We regret that our communication and follow-up did not meet your expectations, and we apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. Our manager, Sam, personally attempted to reach you yesterday to address your concerns. Please feel free to return his call or email us at customerservice@crittercontrol.com so we can provide clarification. Thank you.

Signed a $2514 work order on 12/22/25 to eliminate the crawling noises in the subfloor of my bathroom. This work would include removal of animal, exclusion of area, and remediation for any damaged caused by the animal. Critter Control set traps in my attic, but did not catch anything. I explained again that the noises continued in my subfloor (not attic), technician said she was unable to change course. I tried contacting the manager over 13 times but my calls where rejected. Critter Control made no effort to remove the racoon in my subfloor, ultimately I trapped the racoon.

Provider response

We are sorry to hear how frustrating and stressful it was to continue hearing noises in your subfloor, especially after service had begun. We understand how concerning it is when the issue doesn’t feel resolved. During our inspection and follow-up visits, we identified evidence of rodent activity and based our treatment plan on those findings. While we did not find evidence of a raccoon in the areas serviced, we recognize this did not align with your experience or expectations for a quicker resolution. If you’d like to connect further, our team is available at customerservice@crittercontrol.com. Thank you.<br>.

The employees are all very pleasant to deal with; however, the response time and communication throughout the process falls short. I paid over $1,800 for a simple job to eradicate a chipmunk/squirrel infestation in my vents. They cannot seem to get on the same page and install the proper guards to stop the problem, leaving my family to listen to animals tromp around in the ceiling all night. It has been months at this point and it has had a huge impact on my children’s sleep. I would hire a local and more reliable company instead of a franchise that is quick to collect large sums of money with zero urgency when it comes to correcting the problem.

Provider response

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear about the ongoing issues, the delays in resolution, and the breakdown in communication you’ve experienced. That is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide, especially given the length of time this has been ongoing and the significant impact it has had on your family.<br><br>We understand how frustrating it must be to continue hearing activity after investing in a solution and trust that the issue would be resolved. While we’re glad to hear our team has been pleasant to work with, we recognize that timely follow through, clear communication, and effective repairs are critical, and we regret that we fell short in those areas.<br><br>We want the opportunity to fully address this and make it right. Unfortunately, we were unable to locate your account in our system. Please reach out to customerservice@crittercontrol.com<br> with your full name, contact information, and service address, and our team will promptly review your case and follow up to resolve your concerns as quickly as possible.

We had rats in my storage room in my basement, called a friend and she recommended critter control, without any research i set up an appointment with them. They come out three days later to asses the situation and found that we needed flashing around our a/c unit lines going into the house. The guy quoted us $700 to do the job so we agreed and paid UP FRONT . Scheduled for two days later another guy shows up and tells me that he sees that the front of our house on the THIRD floor has some soffit damage. I tell him ALL the rats have only EVER been seen in the basement storage room where the water heater and hvac are. I leave him be to do what the company was paid to do and he literally puts a $6 flashing on one piece of soffit and says that hes done (i don't know that he didn't do what they were paid to do). I find out also looking at the invoice that they said he put out SIXTEEN bait stations when there were only FIVE. I called and wanted a refund since we didn't recieve the service that we paid for. It gets approved a week later and three weeks later still no refund. I file a dispute with my bank and they lied to my bank and now im out of $700 and STILL have patches that need to be made to my home. This company is FULL of crooks and they will bleed you dry , steal your money, lie about their services as well as not honor their word. This is a warning as i don't usually leave reviews but i want to stop someone else from experiencing what my family did. This economy is TOO hard to have dishonest companies like this stealing money. Im also filing a dispute with the BBB as well.

Provider response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand how frustrating this situation feels, and we’ve already reached out and left two voicemails so we can talk through your concerns directly. Our records show that we went over your service in detail back in October and reached a solution at that time, which is why we’d really like the chance to reconnect and understand what has changed. We’re more than willing to walk through any part of your file with you to make sure you have clear and accurate information.<br>Please give us a call back when you can. We want to make sure you feel fully informed about the services completed and the solution that was previously agreed upon.

DO NOT USE CRITTER CONTROL. They completely misled me with their services and WAY over charged. Charged me $650 to not even remove the dead animal from my fireplace but charged me for “attempted removal” even though they knew they wouldn’t be able to get it out. They charged me for “Oder control” yet two hours after service the smell came back worse than ever. I called them everyday trying to speak to a manger and they told me he would call and he never did. I called for a week!

Provider response

Thank you for your feedback, Natalee. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this situation has been. Our goal is always to provide clear communication and effective service, and it’s disappointing to learn that we fell short of your expectations.

We are living a nightmare... they describe "exclusion repairs... to seal all potential entry points". Yet, after excluding them from one area, the bats just move a few feet away to another.

Michael and Justyn treated us professionally and provided a quality service on our home isolating the issues enabling bats to nest in our attic. Pricing was competitive to others without playing on our emotions recommending services we did not need.

Michael, KD and Isabelle came out initially for the evaluation and were incredibly kind and thorough. I was called later that day and scheduled with Justin for my exclusion the following day. Justin did such an amazing job and I am very pleased with the exclusion. I am hopeful that we will reclaim our house!

I also want to add the so called technical name is Justin Risch! AND WE ARE STILL OWED $750!!!!!
