Chris C came out with the sales pitch and covered all the basics. I had questions, after interviewing other companies and he promptly returned my call and definately answered my questions to my satisfaction. The following week Chad and team came to wrap my home and repaired the hole in the roof. He set six traps . The following week Mason came to check traps and then again this week to remove them. Problem solved. No more parties over my head and I feel secure that I made the right choice. They were professional, knowledgeable, and courteous at every turn. Definately a referable company.

My technicians Bin and Earl were great! They literally came to the house started working immediately,even through in the rain,which they insisted wouldn't slow them down. They agreed lightning would be the only deterrent though ?. They were professional,knowledgeable and courteous. Bin returned for my weekly checkups and was pleased to report to more pests. I would highly recommend this service. Ask for Bin!

The treatment seemed to be thorough, and we have not seen any more bees. The price was fair, but the girl who gave me a ballpark over the phone quoted the wrong rate. I specified removal with repairs, and she gave me the rate for removal without repairs. It was revised significantly upward when the tech arrived for an exact quote/first treatment. The 'repairs' really only consisted of some caulking and the trim needed to be painted afterward. I would definitely call them again for pest removal, but I would have the painter do the caulking next time.

I called and left a message, and no one ever called back. I am very disappointed because we've used this company twice before with good results.

Perfect. Top notch all the way. Polite salesperson, not pushy at all. Came when they said they would to seal the house up. Laid traps inside the house and within a week, no more mice. Haven't seen any in over 6 weeks. Well worth the money!

We have a warranty for a period of time. We got two other quotes that were significantly higher. We had two other instances. The people who owned the house before us apparently had a significant issue and they blew insulation in to cover it up so it was not discovered in the home inspection. When these issues started popping out, we had squirrels try to enter in other areas. I do not know enough about squirrels to know if it is bad that they had to come back out or if it is normal. They are responsive. They come back out and I have a two year guarantee and then after that, I have to annually repurchase the guarantee. I have the repairman’s cell number so I am not going through the company. I text Carl directly and he is usually out in three days. So, his responsiveness is great. The thing they could do differently is to have the squirrels not come back.

My roofers had taken down the sealant that they had put up there before in 2011. They were pleasant. They replaced everything they needed to replace to keep the squirrels away. Their price was very reasonable.

They were very thorough and worked hard to get the job done.  After the instillation was put in Carl returned to inspect the attic and had the instillation people return to even out the instillation at no additional cost.  I would recommend them and kudos for Carl's customer service.

Our yard man had been stung several times the previous week when he unfortunately found this large nest full of very aggressive hornets! (He is OK.) 
1)  After my initial call, within 15 minutes Justin Arnold called me to set up an appointment.
2)  We decided on Thursday, 6/18 between 12:00 and 2:00.  He said he would call if he could come by earlier.
3)  Thursday morning, about 11:00, Justin called to say he could move the appointment up and be at my house by about 11:15.
4)  Justin arrived as promised and immediately got to work and successfully removed the nest.
5)  Justin was very friendly and professional.
6) The cost of this work is not cheap, but it is reasonable given the expertise and equipment needed, and the risk involved. 
6)  I give Rid-A-Critter 10 out of 10 in all categories. I will call Rid-A-Critter again for I am a very happy customer!

Complete bat resolution in attic and detached 2 story garage.  They sealed both the house and the garage (EVERY crack and crevice).  They put in one-way doors for the bats to escape.  After several weeks (time for the bats to leave), they removed all the insulation, cleaned all the bat droppings and put in new insulation.  This was a HUGE job and they resolved the problem completely.  They didn't completely seal a few areas in the free standing garage, so the bats came back after a few months.  When I called them to discuss, they immediately scheduled a job to re-do the work in the garage.  To resolve it, they did the ENTIRE process again (after sealing the areas they missed), at no cost.
Rid-A-Critter has a customer for life.

The technician was very knowledgeable, friendly and polite.  He treated multiple active carpenter bee holes around the facia and chimneys.  He came back a week later to seal the holes with caulk.  The bees disappeared almost immediately and have remained absent ever since.  A little pricey, but the result was what we hoped for.

They did come out and complete the work after I posted a review on Kudzu and the company's Facebook page that got their attention. In my opinion their Kudzu rating is bogus; they are stocking the pond with fake reviews... again just my opinion. Still, look at the "reviewers" that write on their Kudzu listing, they all create their profiles the same day they post and never post anywhere else. Fishy. The office manager was extremely rude and condescending to me on the business' facebook page; she blamed me for the company's lack of follow up. Goes to show how they value their customers. I would NOT do business with this company again.
Response from Rid-A-Critter, Inc.
"Hi, I'm not sure why this is coming up again now. Our supervisor Tim McDavid worked on this issue on 4/1/13 (2 years ago) and thought it had been resolved. According to Tim's notes on that day everything had been completed and ok. I'm sure we apologized 2 years ago and I apologize again today. We are not perfect by any means but we try had to be. When we mess up we make it right. Our A+ Better Business Bureau rating supports our company policies of doing the right thing. Sorry once again. Richard"
