They put in a cage out for my roof and when they took the cage down, there was a squirrel in there. They come out 5 days in a row to check the cages. It's working out really well.

The company was very easy to work with. When I called and told them the problem, they explained what would be done and the cost estimate. I was also reminded to get a 10% coupon from Angie's List, which made the cost very reasonable for the work they did. Trapped and removed 3-4 squirrels, covered the hole and left it for 2 days to make sure no more were in the attic (they would chew through the temporary cover if so) and then came back to put a permanent cover over the access, that matched my siding & gutter. Sean was great to work with and explained each step as it went. Nice to have peace & quiet now!

Had a rather loud and (I thought) heavy-sounding critter in my attic. Turned out to be a cute little fox squirrel. I'd never seen one before. Rep explained everything each step of the way.

Brandon was very professional, courteous and went so far as putting plastic footies upon entry to our home. He located the bat and placed it in his cylinder capsule. He shared where he found it and we discussed thoughts of mine as to how it got in which made sense to Brandon. Needless to say I am going to have Critter Control do a visual inspection in our attic to address the real possibility there may be more bats living in our attic. I was impressed at how critter control and Brandon handled t he whole situation. Especially knowing we were planning on departing in the morning on a 4 day mini vacation. The price charged was equal to the hour of the morning and timeliness of the service. I was very pleased!!!

Excellently--so far, they've trapped one groundhog (desired) and one possum (anticipated, but let go); now if we can just get the other groundhogs trapped so they stop eating my poppies and tomato plants, I'll be the happiest gardner in the Old West End of Toledo.

Very well they put the trap in yesterday and it caught him last night. They set 2 traps. So will see if there are any more.

Remove raccoons from attic
Response from Critter Control of Columbus

"Hi [Member Name Removed], All fees were discussed and approved in writing prior to services rendered or repairs completed. You paid our company a service call fee for consult, inspection and for trapping. Aside from that, you approved our company to complete a repair from where the animal had damaged the home. The repair site is warrantied, but if wildlife returns and damages your home in another area, we do charge for those repairs as well. Wildlife is unpredictable and we do our best to verify activity has ceased from the home before doing any repairs. There are times that raccoons will depart the premises and return at a later date - hence, the "nature of wildlife." We are not responsible for repairs needed at your home and do charge to make repairs caused by wildlife. We will gladly return to conduct a grace period trapping without assessing the service fee again. However, as per our contract, there are removal fees per animal and repairs are the responsibility of the customer to complete or to pay our company if you elect to do so. The important aspect to remember is we have no hidden fees. All of the information mentioned above is outlined in your service agreement."

First we paid $300 to get rid of a groundhog that was living under our back porch. Critter Control used a live trap to capture it, then took it away and euthanized it. Later, we paid another $300 to get rid of a skunk living under the back porch. Then we paid over $1000 for Critter Control to install exclusion fencing in the planting bed adjacent to the porch. It worked! We came home one day to find the dirt from the planting area flung everywhere as the critter (most likely a skunk) attempted to seek shelter under our porch. We restored the soil, then later found many small trenches (chipmunks?) up against the fencing. We’re happy we made the investment: We don’t have to worry about critters chewing on the porch supports, and they’re also leaving our spring vegetables alone.

Critter Control didn't do anything wrong; they just didn't do nearly enough. The employees were friendly; and service coordinator responsive. However, the service technicians always seemed rushed when they were here, and even though they initially seemed to reduce/eliminate the mice, I was always skeptical of the inspection and modifications to the home to prevent future issues... and they charged a lot and for everything. When evidence of the mice reappeared after 5 months, they wanted to charge for an inspection again if doing so they found new entry points. I was quite sure they didn't find all of the old entry points. I figured if I was going to pay for an inspection I wanted fresh eyes. I brought in a locally-owned company and they have been fantastic and have found - and repaired - many potential entry points where mice and even other critters could slip into the home - all of which were clearly missed by Critter Control in the first place.

I called them for one of my rentals because I need to have a squirrel removed. They want to get my credit card number but I want to pay them via check. They insisted since this is their company policy as they mentioned and I don't want that.

Critter Control answer my email contact promptly and schedule a visit. They explain their available plans and based on my input recommended the best plan to meet my situation. I plan to make this an ongoing review since the recommended program is a year long. However they get an A for promptness and customer service

Could not reach the carcass with normal methods. Technician waited while I removed a section of floor so he could remove the carcass.

Critter Control got rid of the skunk — it wasn’t easy, as the squirrels kept eating the bait. The traps were checked every day for two weeks, even after the skunk had been trapped (in case there was a second one). Steve and Amanda were super nice.

Matt put out traps. He came out everyday to check on the traps and drive away the trapped squirrels. He was excellent in communicating with us regarding what he was doing and the progress made. He gave us an estimate for recommended solutions to keep the squirrels out and completed the work we wanted done. We were very please with his professionalism and knowledge!
