Dalton is a very professional young man. He installed a one way trap to make sure the squirrels exited and could not re-enter. We also caught 5 raccoons.

He explained everything clearly and made the process simple. We were very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them.
We had a problem with bats in the front porch of our house. Critter removal and their technician Jarod tried different methods till the problem was resolved — they were responsive and provided timely professional services.
Jarod was very professional, personable and knowledgeable. He found and solved the problem quickly. I appreciated this experience and would use it again.
