Excellent4.9★★★★★ Based on 372 reviews fromNeiciaNeicia ★★★★★ We had squirrels take up residence in our attic. We called several companies (some of which never called back!) and ultimately got two quotes and one was Rid-A-Critter. Chad not only called back immediately, but came out that afternoon to assess the situation. After talking to him, we immediately knew he was the man for the job. He scheduled the exclusion for a few days later. He showed up on time as scheduled and performed the work himself. He is professional and knowledgeable, and made us feel like we were in capable hands and the problem would be solved. So far, no more squirrels! Highly recommend!!!Shoshana G.Shoshana G. ★★★★★ These guys were AMAZING!!! Chad and Dilan came out and tackled this project with skill, kindness, and expertise. They were honest and reliable and calmed me down after finding out there were mice in the house. They went as far to let my little son feel like he was helping out when they sealed up the outside of the house. Worked with my schedule to make sure trap checks take place when it’s a good time for us. HIGHLY recommend this team!!Paul C.Paul C. ★★★★★ We had a momma squirrel under our deck and called Rid-A-Critter. Justin came to our home, trapped the squirrel and added a mesh to stop any future intrusions.Justin was very thorough and explained all our options to me. His level of professionalism was great and we’re so glad we had him to work with.Candace C.Candace C. ★★★★★ OMG these guys are Heaven sent! 😆 We had squirrels in the attic that were driving me insane! It was so creepy! They found where they were getting in, repaired and set traps to release them! I love that the also deodorize the attic as well which makes a huge difference! It’s so quiet!Chad is super knowledgeable of animal types and explains the entire process! Would definitely give them a holler if needed in the future! Thanks again for saving us! 🤩Scott M.Scott M. ★★★★★ What a great outfit. I tried two other services to rid carpenter bees to no avail. Rid-A-Critter and Chad saved the day. Solved the problem and provided great follow up service to ensure that the bees were still gone. I would highly recommend Chad and Rid-A-Critter!Kathleen A.Kathleen A. ★★★★★ I highly recommend them for both prompt service and pricing. I had bats move into my attic vent. Luckily the day Justin arrived, the bats were not there (we had sprayed water and also banged on the interior screen the day before). He quickly assessed that he needed to get a permanent screen installed on the outside, incase the returned. He then came back the next day and performed a thorough clean out of the guano left behind, bleached and sanitized. Great job, and a wonderful person to deal with!Jill F.Jill F. ★★★★★ Chad at Rid A Critter responded very timely to our call with a dead animal smell in our daughter’s home. He was tenacious in locating the issue as it was not easy to find. He identified and showed us several areas where animals were able to get into the attic. Chris C. came out that day to walk us through the procedure to seal the home properly which Chad worked us into his schedule and got the issue taken care of very quickly. Chad always kept us informed on his time for return visits to check for any additional activity and always showed at the time he scheduled. I would highly recommend this company for their timeliness, tenacity and respect for the property and the customer’s time.Ric H.Ric H. ★★★★★ Chad with Rid-a-critter was very responsive both to quote the job and to perform the work of removal/ exclusion of bats in my mountain home. He showed up early and worked effectively and was courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. Would recommend and would use again.Christopher A.Christopher A. ★★★★★ I had scheduled a different company to come out and take care of my squirrel exclusion, but when I found out they were not going to reinstall my gutter guards, I dropped them immediately and called Rid-A-Critter.I managed to call early enough in the day that they were able to have Chad come out the same day for a new estimate and was scheduled for the following week. Chad was incredibly professional and did a thorough inspection as well as installation job.It’s been a little over a week since the work was done at the time of writing and I haven’t heard anything coming from my attic since. Would gladly recommend them in the future.Chad BChad B ★★★★★ I’ve had a great experience with Chris C. and our field tech, Mason! We have a difficult to access crawl space and Mason has gone above and beyond in assisting us with it. Can’t say enough good things about Mason and Chris C!Rashida W.Rashida W. ★★★★★ We had squirrels in our attic that needed to be removed. Chris C. and Mason were the techs that worked on our house. They were very responsive and worked quick. So far we’ve caught two squirrels so 👍🏾Brian R.Brian R. ★★★★★ Chris and Brandon were great! They did exactly what they said. On time, up front, respectful and friendly. We highly recommend them to anyone.Earl W.Earl W. ★★★★★ Squirrels established residency in my attic. Chris C was out quickly to assess the problem and quoted a fair price. Chad and team removed the squirrels and did a lot of preventive work to keep them out permanently. 100% satisfied and highly recommended.beth H.beth H. ★★★★★ Jason A was fabulous- came to our house in a timely fashion after we reported a problem. He knew just what to do and answered all my questions thoroughly. He followed up twice to make sure the “fix” had worked. The squirrel issue was resolved.

Thank you to Jason and everyone else at Rid-A-Critter.Justin A.Justin A. ★★★★★ Great experience. Our techs were Chad and Chuck. They were both fantastic. Explained every step in the process. Sealed up the entire house. Chuck walked the attic prior to sealing everything up to make sure the critters was gone. Highly recommend!!Terri W.Terri W. ★★★★★ Chris C was professional and reliable with assessing my house and cost to seal and eliminate critters. Great customer service. Mason and Landon had their work cut out for them as my roof is unusually steep with lots of levels. They had to come back several times as I had a large colony of flying squirrels in the walls and attics. Would highly recommend Rid a Critter.Jamie Waters R.Jamie Waters R. ★★★★★ They were able to come to my house the day I called. They were able to start the removal process in less than 48 business hours from when I signed the contract. They were friendly, on time, communicated often and well, and price was fair. Hopefully I never need their services again, but if I do, I would definitely call Chad at Rid-A-Critter!E-JandGwen H.E-JandGwen H. ★★★★★ It is with significant pleasure that I craft this Rid-a-critter Five Star Review.My wife and I were immediately impressed the moment Christopher C. entered our home. His polite, welcoming, and professional demeanor was beyond reproach. It certainly set the stage for his earnest knowledge based presentation that was deeply rooted in quality assurance and quarranteed results. Although it is our practice to get at least three quotes in order to enhance our knowledge base before making a decision, somehow we we were certain we would ultimately select Rid-a-critter as Chris confidently reinforced the fact that we might cost more, but we do what we are supposed to do: eradicate the problem. In essence, it was the reassurance that Rid-a-critter vowed that they “WILL” meet the clients expectations was of utmost importance to us, and the reason we chose Rid-a-critter over the competition in spite of the fact that they were under bid by two other companies.Furthermore, upon meeting Mason and his team we knew we had made the correct choice as Mason and his team backed up Chris C’s statement of complete satisfaction. He, too, followed through with honoring his word with follow-up visits and personal customer service satisfaction inquiry. We worked with Rid-a-critter months ago, but I purposely withheld writing this review until we had our trees pruned and another tree removed that was being used as a Squirrel-ladder in order to ensure that the job was done correctly (no more critters); and we are very pleased at this moment with the results as we rest assured that we can count on Rid-a-critter’s continued support should the problem reoccur. Hence, we are happy to provide Rid-a-critter with our highest recommendation with out the slightest bit of hesitation or reservation as Chris C. and Mason & his team lived up to their promise of leaving our home rid of critters just as their name implies. job well done, indeed!E-JAngelica Y.Angelica Y. ★★★★★ Cannot say enough good things about this company. Sent an inquiry at 4am (stress impulses) in the morning, on a Saturday, about rats in our attic. Got a call around 10am for approval to have someone come check out our problem.Shortly after I got a call from Chad Wilkes. He was just so awesome! He was kind, attentive, and respectful. Listened to my stress rambling whether it mattered or not. Gave his honest opinion and gave multiple options on how we can fix our critter problem.I told him I would follow up and I did a couple days later. Unfortunately we decided to go with a different company but Chad stayed respectful and professional even after the fact. We need more people like Chad.Collette P.Collette P. ★★★★★ Chris C. and Chad were on-time and super professional. They explained the process clearly and thoroughly, took care of my problem, and visited again several weeks later to make sure the squirrels were gone. I highly recommend!Farrah S.Farrah S. ★★★★★ We just purchased this home and wanted to ensure there were no unwanted guests/pests. The first company we contacted did an inspection but never gave a quote. When I called rid a critter Chris C was very professional and follow up was timely. He understood the importance that we had this work completed before we moved in and quickly provided a reasonable quote. Chad was the technician and was great as well! He was very nice and professional throughout the process. No animals were caught in the trap but he reassured me by educating me on the process and the reason as to why nothing was caught. To help reassure me, he kept the traps up longer.Lane W.Lane W. ★★★★★ We have been very happy with the service Rid-A-Critter has provided. Chris C quickly provided us a reasonable estimate. They were able to address the situation quicker than other companies. Brandon has kept an eye on the traps which quickly addressed the issues we were dealing with. Highly recommend.js_loader
