"These guys worked so hard to remove a colony of bees from my home! They worked late into the evening (bees must be removed at night) and were covered in honey when they left. Then they came back the next day and cleaned some more! Tedd went above and beyond, he brought in my packages that were sitting outside the front door, cleaned the stairs where honey had dripped, and left my home looking pretty good considering what had happened there the night before. I was so impressed by this company that I switched my regular pest services over to them. 5 stars well earned!"

"Critter Capture did an EXCELLENT job helping me with a terrible, horrifying infestation of flying squirrels in my home. I had been battling them and begging for help from another local pest control company and they just made things worse! They actually fed the babies because they used the wrong kind of traps. I found Critter Capture's website and at my first phone call, they went into action. They are the go to professionals for wildlife that has moved inside!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Skunks spray as a defense mechanism to ward off predators. The active ingredient in their sulfurous, oily musk is n-butyl mercaptan, which evaporates into a powerful and smelly gas. Once the spray hits the skunk’s target, the stench can linger for days, and water and common cleaning kits aren’t enough to wash it away.

If you happen upon a skunk in your yard, try to back away slowly to reduce the chance of them aiming at you. Encouragingly, they don’t use their weapon casually, as it can take up to 10 days for their life-saving weaponry to refill. Paw stamping, hissing, lifting their tail, and arching their back are early signs they feel trapped or under threat and that it’s time to make a careful retreat.

To determine if you have a rat or mouse infestation, look for several key differences. The most obvious is the size of the rodent: rats are significantly larger with thicker bodies, while mice are much smaller and more slender. You can also identify them by their droppings; rat droppings are larger and rounder, about the size of a raisin, while mouse droppings are smaller, like a grain of rice, and often have pointed ends. Other signs include the sounds they make, as rats produce louder scratching and gnawing noises due to their size. Behaviorally, rats tend to be more cautious, whereas mice are more curious and might be seen more often. Additionally, rat nests are typically larger than those of mice. If you are unable to see the pest or find clear evidence, a professional inspection can provide a definitive identification.

Droppings from cockroaches, squirrels, mice, bats, and birds can resemble rat poop, making it easy to confuse one for another. Mouse droppings are smaller and more pointed, cockroach droppings resemble tiny black specks or ground pepper, and bat guano can look similar but usually crumbles into powder. Bird droppings sometimes have a similar shape, but often include white uric acid deposits. If in doubt, it’s best to consult a pest control professional for proper identification and removal.

Yes, exterminators spray inside kitchen and other cabinets as part of a whole-home pest control treatment, especially when eradicating bugs that like to hide there, like roaches and ants. If you spot a pest infestation in your pantry or cabinets, be sure to show your pest control pro which areas have the most traffic.

Moisture issues caused by leaky pipes, improper drainage, and poor airflow create environments that are ideal for termites to thrive in. Dampwood termites prefer water-damaged wood while subterranean termites require moist environments to survive. Climate can have an impact as well, with termites preferring to live in warm and humid climates with mild temperatures year-round. However, termites are present in every state in the United States, with the exception of Alaska.
