When hearing the scritch-scratch of roof rats in our attic space, we wanted experts on the job. We did our research and called numerous companies before settling on Critter Tech. Our reasons: Critter Tech isn't an insect extermination company that just happens to do rats, too--these people know critters, and their price is competitive with other companies that lack similar warranty services. Critter Tech offered a year's warranty (a company offering 30 days of warranty on a rat problem is offering you no warranty at all). Jason did the initial attic inspection, took pictures, explained what he saw and what that meant as far as how they would approach the problem. With a combination of trapping and continual inspection by Tony and Destiny to seal up possible entry points over several weeks, our problem was gone. Fast forward through several months of quiet and, once the weather turned colder, we could hear that the rats had made their way inside the attic again. One call and Critter Tech was here again. After diligent work by Jason, Tony, and Destiny over several weeks of trapping and inspecting, they discovered the new entry the rats had chewed into our roof. Now that this is sealed, we should be hearing the last of the rats very soon. However, if the rats chew their way in again, I know Critter Tech will keep at it until the problem is solved. Here's the thing: People happily pay companies to come spray to kill scorpions, crickets, etc. Do they expect to pay for one visit and have their problem solved, never a scorpion to be seen again? No, they pay on a monthly basis to ensure the population that continues to live around their home is kept under control. Why, then, is it expected that rat abatement is any different? If you expect a company to take care of your roof rat issue in just one visit, you are being unrealistic--you might as well go buy lottery tickets because you must be just that lucky. These animals breed like nobody's business and, if they are in your roof, they are living throughout your neighborhood; no company can eradicate rodents from an entire neighborhood. The sad reality is that roof rats are here in the Valley to stay. What Critter Tech can and does do is track and trap the rats to get them out of your attic and home and seal your home so the rats can no longer infiltrate from the outside. Why does it sometimes take a while to find that rat entry point? Considering that rats can get into your home through an opening the size of a quarter, it can be difficult to find an entry under roof tiles, eaves, overhangs, foundations, and such (if it were a neon-lit entryway with a red carpet, we could find it ourselves, now couldn't we?). You can do everything in your power to make sure your property is as unattractive as possible to rodents, but if they live in your neighborhood and your house has an opening, your home is fair game. Everyone I've interacted with at the company is professional, friendly, prompt, courteous, and absolutely motivated to solve the problem. Vicky is wonderful about scheduling inspections and trap checks around my schedule, calling with and emailing reminders, and returning phone calls. Critter Tech comes when they say they will, and they do what they say they will do. On the last day of our year warranty we will happily write Critter Tech a check for another year of service to provide us with peace of mind and the ability to call them back at any time. Worth. Every. Penny.
