"Very prompt, professional, courteous and communicated very well. I learned a lot about Pepe le Pew and his harem he had going. They were safely relocated and caught some possums and feral cats that were released. It took about a week and a half to get all three skunks I would see on the security cameras nightly."

"Critter control did an amazing job treating our house for pests. We just moved into a more rural area and wanted an indoor/outdoor bug spray that was safe for babies and pets. The women in the office worked with me to connect me to Phillip, a manager, who called me back immediately and answered all of my questions and assured me critter control would get the job done to our satisfaction. Phillip came out and explained the entire process to us, was extremely professional, courteous, and efficient. Phillip explained what our home would need in the future and also informed us of other services of which we may benefit from. We have had many companies come out and spray for pests but critter control has been our favorite by far! We will definitely be following up with them for continued services."

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.

Regular cleaning, proper food storage, sealing entry points, and professional inspections help prevent infestations.

Experts have mixed opinions about spraying spiders. A recent study found that chestnut and peppermint oil have a repelling effect on some spider species, but were ineffective at repelling others. You should consult with an expert exterminator to find out what works best to repel the spiders living in and around your home.

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.

Gophers are ubiquitous in certain areas, and the only way to completely get rid of them is to put down gopher wire two feet below the surface of your soil and vertically along the edges of your yard. Unfortunately, this may not be a practical solution unless you’re completely redoing your yard or installing an aboveground garden. Alternatively, you may consider putting underground rock barriers around the edge of your yard to discourage gopher visits. However, you’ll still likely get some pests because they can dig as deep as 6 feet below the surface.
