Best of the best!
Our second time using Critter Control of Greater Boston and we couldn't be happier.
Our first service was for a large rat problem at our commercial property downtown, where there was so many RATS they were seen at all hours of the day and night, roaming freely throughout the large property. Critter control totally eliminated the problem in a short time. We haven't seen a rat in over a year now!
Our second time using them was for our condo complex where they are working on the current mice infestation and we have already seen great improvements after only one visit.
Totally professional service from scheduling to simple text alerts and on time service techs who are very helpful and friendly.
These guys know what they are doing when it comes to Critters!
I would not hesitate to recommend Critter Control of Greater Boston to anyone, for ANY "Critter Control"!

Howard, the wildlife expert, was great. He came out for a consultation and you can tell this is a guy who’s been doing this a long time and is not trying to “sell” you anything just for the sake of it. He wants you to have the best info available, and I appreciate that.

Critter control is amazing! Moving to a city was a different experience for me and when I found a house guest that I didn’t invite in, they took care of it. They are so responsive, respectful and always take the time to answer all my questions!

We've had a problem for 6 months with pigeons living under our solar panels on our roof. Since our bedroom is at the top of the house, we could hear them and see them through our skylights, as well. They were noisy and especially unsettling at night as, they were banging up against the solar panels. We contacted 3 other "pest control" companies before Critter Control of Boston. Those other companies either didn't handle birds or didn't service our city, even though their websites advertised that they could. A 4'th company didn't even show up for the appointment they had scheduled with us. Critter Control responded the same day I called. 2 days later Craig arrived to evaluate our concern and give us an estimate for placing critter guards around our solar panels. He was professional, knowledgeable and reassured us our problem could be handled efficiently and without causing harm to any of the birds if there were nests under the solar panels. 1 week later, Alex showed up to install the critter guards. What a pleasant experience we had with him, as well. He arrived on time, spoke with us about the installation process and was very respectful of our property. Alex also cleaned up after the installation and left our property spotless.
Needless to say, we've had "angry birds" circling the house once in a while, but the critter guards have worked. We wake up without the noise early in the morning and go to bed without the banging at night. It was worth it to hire Critter Control of Boston!. As a matter of fact, we are working with Critter Control of Boston to assess other work we need around the house for "critter control".
If you're looking for professionals to help you with wildlife problems around or in your home, we highly recommend Critter Control of Boston. I wish we had found them 6 months ago!

Reached out through Angi for sparrows who were building nests in the eaves. The scheduling was easy. The tech, Adam was on time at the top of the appointment range. He assessed the situation and provided a reasonable price. He removed the nesting materials and patched the access points with aluminum. The work looks good and we will see if the sparrows are deterred.

Both the people who made the initial visit to look at the deck and examine the opening where a family of raccoons had entered and were living under the deck, and the follow up visit by the technician who spent an entire day digging a trench and installing the fencing were professional. The work itself was done with respect for the bushes surrounding the deck and when complete the property was left in a pristine condition. I am totally satisfied with this company and would recommend them without hesitation.

The office, estimator, and installer were all very responsive and courteous. I was able to have the work completed within a week of contacting them. It was a relief to find a company that not only would deal with squirrels, but also would install critter guard around two active solar panel arrays. (I wish I had included this installation when the solar panels were installed: that installer did not want to come out just to do that work as a later, add-on job.) The speedy response ensured that the squirrel did not have time to damage the wiring. The cost was certainly unwelcome, since unanticipated. I don't have a point of comparison, but I appreciate the five-year warranty on the work, and the cost was certainly justified to protect my investment in and income from the panels.

It went great! Ben was the contact person and remained very communicative, professional and easy to work with. He came to examine the location of the squirrel in habitation, returned to put up traps and then returned on a few locations to check the traps. When deemed the location was void of any squirrels, removed traps and patched the hole in the fascia board to prevent from future inhabitants. Ben provided me with text updates thought out the entire process and remained available to answer all my questions. I would definitely call them again. Thank you!

We were very pleased with the work that was done. The critter control people were kind and professional and explained what would be done. With a minimum of effort from us, people came and went, taking care of traps and closing up openings. The squirrels appear to be eradicated. If they return, we know we can contact Critter Control to come and take care of the problem.
