I can't endorse Andy and Cathy enough! They know their stuff, do what they say, and charge a reasonable price. I had them "encapsulate" (with wire), the entire perimeter of my antique house -- which had become a wildlife "pathway" in an urban setting. Looked great (completely unobtrusive). A-plus folks--so nice to work with.

Andy was very responsive and came out right away. He was very professional and knowledgeable. I purchased a 4-visit plan and he set 4 traps. He came back as planned to empty and reset the traps and several critters were captured. On the 4th visit, he emptied the traps and then took the traps back. I could have added more visits at $60.00 each. I am glad I hired The Critter guy, but am not sure I would do so again. There is no way to tell when all the critters are gone, unless you continue to pay for visits until there are no more captures. Even then, how many $60.00 "no capture" visits do you buy to make sure they are all gone? Andy did a great job and he did catch several chipmunks and voles. Hopefully, they are gone but, if they return, I think I might do some research and try to handle it myself.

He came out and was very informative on short notice. He was not able to capture the small bird, but provided a lot of information to help me deal with the bird. Successive visits are $60 and he made himself available if something did need to be done to remove the animal. Overall good experience!

I write this review for the benefit of consumers in that the company has all the business by word of mouth that they can handle.  This is a self-described mom and pop operation.  "Pop" came out promptly despite how busy he was and proved to be a genuine expert.  He placed a substance at the point where mother raccoon had gained entrance to the attic.  For reasons too complicated for a short description, this alarmed mother raccoon and caused her to move her babies elsewhere that same night.  Andy advised that it does not always work, so to improve the odds he also "kidnapped" one of the babies so as to further alarm the mom and help insure she would move her remaining offspring. 

The pup meanwhile was delivered to a licensed wild-life rescue volunteer (the d*** little thing was cute!).  No contribution was solicited but I thought $20 was in order anyway.  Two more trips to our house were required in order to confirm that the raccoons were gone and to secure the attic from re-infestation at the same point of entry. 

I could not be more pleased - this is certainly the person to call for wild-life problems!

We had seen and trapped ourselves a Copperhead, after find another one, we thought it best to enlist the help of a professional.  
Andy showed up promptly, was extremely professional and personable. He seemed extremely knowledgeable, and provided many insights with respect to avoiding future wildlife problems.  I would HIGHLY recommend Andy the Critter Guy to anyone needing wildlife removal services.

He seemed very professional. He knew what he was doing. He caught it for us on the second day, and we were very pleased.  He has a place to take the animals that he traps and lets them go, except for skunks, he has to put them down because they carry rabies. He charges 100 dollars to leave the traps on the property for 30 days. He had to drive 50 miles to get here. He was right on time, when he said he was going to be here.
