We used Critter Ridder to get rid of an animal that was crawling around our ceiling and crawl spaces. They struggled a bit to isolate the problem initially, but eventually they successfully got the critter(s) out of the house and sealed it up.

Critter Ridder did an excellent job getting rid of rats. They did a great job of of sealing my house so future critters stay out. They baited and checked traps regularly. After two days of empty traps they removed them. The service reps were very nice and efficient. I would recommend them to anyone

Fast, efficient and highly professional service. Mike quickly coordinated the snake removal. Brandon came out and took the time to educate us on the snake and how to best handle these situations. He also showed a high sense of care for the animal. I recommend them and have them on my home care contact list. Thank you Mike and Brandon.

I contacted Mike to get help relocating an opossum in our backyard that has started coming out during daylight. He was really honest about his services and set realistic expectations. I was impressed that he went further than most in offering helpful and detailed advice on how we might want to approach the situation myself before we make a big investment with his company. I’ll definitely keep him in mind for future concerns.

These guys are great. We’ve used them a couple times. This time we had rats. They came back multiple times to set/reset traps. They were polite and on time (often early). We are not handy people, so we appreciated that they identify entry points, then seal them. And the year long guarantee gives you peace of mind.

We were very happy with the service of Critter Ridder at the business where I work. They did exactly what Wes said they would do, and quickly. After a 6-week assault to our senses, we assumed that we had multiple dead rats in the walls. Turned out to be a 30 lb raccoon! They also came in and gave us a reasonable estimate to solve our problem long-term. They were understanding of our budget limitations and were willing to work with us, not being pushy, and giving us recommendations, instruction, and direction. The next time we have something dead in the walls at our business, we will definitely call them first!

Great company, does a thorough and professional job. The initial inspection and estimate was excellent. It’s not cheap but homeowner’s insurance will pay for raccoon damage. I had a raccoon in my attic that tore up my exterior chimney and attic as well as evidence of attic rats. The job was complicated by the discovery of termites. Luckily the owner, Mike, is certified for termite treatment. I had a complete attic restoration with new insulation. It took a long time to get everything done but that was partially due to weather and holidays. The finished work looks great, my attic is buttoned up, and bonus – I’ve already saved money on my heating bill from the upgraded insulation. Go with Critter Ridder, you won’t be sorry.

Mike is VERY knowledgeable and will absolutely shoot straight with you. He helped me save a 3K bad decision with another local vendor – I strongly recommend Critter Ridder!

I was very disappointed to learn I had some unwanted guests in my attic. Critter Ridder did an amazing job not only evicting them but doing a thorough repair of the sites another company had obviously poorly patched over and blown in insulation making it appear that there was no problem prior to our move-in! Not only did they do everything possible to prevent a recurrence, but provided a 1 year transferrable warranty so the new homeowners have peace of mind as well.

I can’t thank them enough for coming out I had about a six-foot rattlesnake on my front porch so I can get in or out of the house they were there in less than 10 minutes after I called amazing service and just all-around good people to work with so I’ll definitely be using them again hopefully not that much but if I need it they will be the ones that I call!!!!!!! Thank you so very much

OK, it is disturbing to learn that you had ve critters in your attic. But, how often do you find the solution to a big problem with one phone call?

Critter Ridder is an aptly named company that got rid of the ring tailed cats that had decided my attic was a nice place to live. Mike and Cheryl were so easy to work with. They set up a schedule to “evict” my critters humanely.

The technicians were punctual and very professional. The work was completed according to schedule.

If you have a critter problem, call Critter Ridder.
