We had an experience with EcoPro wildlife last year that “fixed” the problem “professionally”. They didn’t catch the raccoon, didn’t properly fix the whole, weren’t communicative throughout the process, and didn’t honor their warranty. It was refreshing to have someone come in that actually knew what they were doing and get the job done. Garrett(the man we had) had previous knowledge of building houses as well which came in handy when assessing the trash that EcoPro left us. Our discussion with Eco Pro warranty went nowhere and they said “I think both parties should just move on from this”. Catch it wildlife was a breath of fresh air. Glad we found them and I remember it was between them and EcoPro last year too. Would highly recommend Catch It wildlife but can only speak on Garrett. He was professional and knew what he was doing.

Catch-It Wildlife set up a one-way trap door for bats in our attic. We paid $1100 with the explicit understanding this covered them coming back out to remove the trap in a couple weeks. Until they never called and we had to hound them to get back out, only for them to charge another $100 that was never agreed to (they just charged our card on file without any authorization from me).

Quick and efficient and fast! We needed our chimney cap on quickly as we have had problems with squirrels falling down our chimney in the past. Others were telling me weeks before they could get to it. Very pleased with the service!

I feel the need to share my experience. For starters, No Show/No Call for at least 4 scheduled appointment times including the owner. Costly repairs to prevent bat roof entry were partially completed yet obvious and visible from the street. I requested to speak to the owner prior to additional repairs. I wanted assurance the repairs would be completed, would blend in with the home, and would prevent additional expensive remediation. The owner was extremely rude, unprofessional and condescending, especially when speaking with my wife. He refused the opportunity to make the repairs right or complete the prepaid job. Owner refused to review photos of the repair workmanship. Save yourself problems and find a quality contractor.

Technician went out to finish the work and the customer told technician to leave that they hired another company. Competitor came out for an insulation bid. Looked at our work and started bad mouthing company and the work we did. Customer believed this and when technician came to finish the job told the technician that they had hired the other company and did not want us to finish. Three weeks later customer texts me and asked if she can call me that evening. She calls. Asked when we are going to finish the job. My response was that they told my technician to leave and that they hired another company. During the conversation they stated that “you can see the repairs”. All repairs can be seen. They do not make invisible sheet metal. All repairs are with colored metal per our agreement which he read and signed. The metal blends in very well. Over 30 years doing the same repairs. First complaint about seeing a repair. Never rude to customers. Talked with them both for about 20 minutes. We had a discussion. Zero arguments. More of a discussion. My opinion both parties were civil. All repairs were completed that were paid for. Competitor is a national franchise that thrives on people’s lack of knowledge. Told them that they should have called to discuss before hiring the other company. They stated the other company was going to charge them to do more repairs. Customer believed all the negative stuff that they told them and now must pay them more money. Hence the review.Kelly B.

It went very well. I'm completely satisfied with my services. I tried to get the mole myself for 6 weeks with no luck, he got it in 2 days. The service provided a couple of extra days to ensure no other moles were playing around in my yard. I will be keeping contact with the serviceman for any future needs.

Sorry about this missed appointment. We are extremely busy at this time of year and we simply "dropped the ball" on this one. My apologies for this. After 32 years of service this is certainly not the normal business practice that we follow. Again, my apologies for not servicing your problem in a timely manner. Thank you for your review.Steve H.

Terrible. I merely called to inquire about the service and to determine if the company serviced my area. The person who answered the phone said his name was "Steve." He didn't answer my question; but, instead stated he charges $75 per animal, a $300 for set-up, and other fees for eveything else they do. He said was that what yu were expecting. I told him not really, and that "I was just calling to get some information." He then stated, "Well, call us back if we can be of service, and hung up." This man was extremely rude. I don't care how cheap the services might be -- I wouldn't hire him just for his rude disposition.

I called Catch-It Wildlife and the owner, Steve Painter, came out the very same day. He performed a thorough inspection of my roof and the attic. Afterwards, he set out traps to catch the squirrel. The pesky critter was never caught, but Steve did a terrific job sealing up all of the potential entryways into my attic. I am totally satisfied with the completed outcome.

They came out the same day I called. At first, they didn't think they could be then they had the time and were nearby. They talked to me about my concerns, then they walked around the house and checked up on the roof for places the squirrels might have gotten in. They didn't see any and we had already sealed a section before. They were polite and respectful. They were knowledgeable.

Todd set a trap at the opening of the roof, a few days later we were hearing something in the bathroom under the tub wall. Todd was very quick to come to the house and he caught the bird by hand when he flew out from under the tub. The bird was obviously trapped in wall . 3 days later, Todd came over and the trap had caught a bird. He sealed the opening to the house and carted the bird off! So nice to have a company that I could rely on to help me when needed!!

This company was extremely responsive to our call. They came out within a day of contacting them. They removed the latrine as well as the gravel and some dirt under it. They sanitized the area and then smoothed remaining gravel over it. They shared some of their knowledge and experience about why this happened and animal behavior.

I contacted Stephen Painter, owner of "Catch-It". He got one of his people out to us the next day, who checked out our home exterior, roofline and chimney. He spotted the entry point where the bats were getting in and placed a "one-way door" PVC pipe device to allow bats to leave, but not to re-enter. I should mention that we had three bats in our home on separate occasions over 3-4 weeks, and we were always the ones who had to grab them and extract them. That's mostly because bats usually come out at night, and during the day the guy from Catch-it could only help us seal off our fireplaces and look around. Nevertheless, they were experienced people and helped us secure our home and manage the process of getting them out. Only reason I didn't rate them with straight A's is because they didn't actually extract the bats themselves, but they helped us do it ourselves, which was absolutely no fun.

Catch-It was more responsive than the other services called in the morning. The owner had Ben call to schedule and he came out same evening. Ben spent considerable time in our attic, checking for signs of bats and any evidence we might have more than one in our house. None found. He also went through the entire house, but one small bat was not going to be found easily. Ben took the time to explain bat behavior and left us with some sticky-paper bat traps. Also gave some tips on how to capture it if we saw it again. We did see it flying inside later that evening and used a fishing net to capture it and throw it outside, unharmed.

Culprit found: raccoon had dug through shingles and sheathing creating access to attic. Trap set, caught single raccoon within 12 hours. After removal, trap set for 3 more days and checked a couple of times. Trap removed, area patched for temporary repair until we could roofing company assessments/bids done. Only issue was that we didn't always know when he was coming for checks; he did call on final day with approx time.
