Prompt and flexible helping me trap the raccoons that had eaten a hole through my roof. Also reasonably priced compared to other trappers I've worked with.

Having used Critter Control for a rat problem some years ago, I didn’t hesitate to call them for a recent problem with annoying raccoons in my pool. In my opinion Critter Control trappers are the best. They are professional, efficient, reliable and most important, successful .

I had an issue with a probable raccoon in my chimney. Although there wasn't one at the time they came out, Criiter Control did place a cover that wouldn't allow anymore visits from my nighttime visitor. They were very fair in their pricing and I would definitely use them again if needed.

I would highly recommend This company. I had a very problematic raccoon who dug up into my house and got loose in my house.

Ashley came out to give the details and estimates for handling this issue. She was wonderful, knowledgeable, personable with the best customer service! She was wonderful! Tyler, the person who did all the physical work to alleviate this problem for me was so professional, hardworking, friendly and has great knowledge of his job and how to handle such a problem. He went above and beyond for me and the raccoon is gone!

My life is finally back to normal! Thank you Tyler, thank you Ashley!!!!!

Two neighbors attics were occupied by raccoon families and it took several days to evict them. Worried that they may move to my home I hired Critter Control to secure my roof entrances to prevent any access for the raccoons. My house was accessed the day after my initial phone call and the job was completed the following day. Critter Control was extremely professional in all steps needed for the completion of the job. I am relieved that my home is secure from any pests attempting to make it their home!

We had a very positive experience with Critter Control in Aurora CO. They helped us evict a very determined raccoon from our attic.

All of their personnel were very polite and helpful, especially the guy who did the work at our house. They were careful to outline the costs and everything that needed to be done before we made any commitment, and they held to that. They also performed the work exactly as scheduled.

We were very impressed with them and would recommend them to anyone.

We were using a company for 2plus years that kept charging us and never getting down to the root of the problem . The son took over the fathers business and he came out and told us we should be happy he skipped his lunch for us. We kicked him out and started calling around.

Critter Control was a referral from a much smaller company. Travis showed up the same day I called and I’m sure he couldn’t believe all the problems we had had in the past. But he went through one step at a time and started making his expert recommendations.

We had problems with groundhogs than the raccoons kicked them out of the holes to have babies . While the momma racoon was nursing she got aggressive and attacked my fiancé coming out of our patio door .

Travis was able to resolve ALL the problems get them fixed and put up fencing up to prevent future problems . Our backyard looked like an episode of caddy shack it was getting dangerous and out of control. Travis helped resolve one problem at a time . We feel very confident that we can feel safe in our yard for now on .

I highly recommend Critter Control . No one should have had to go through 2 years like we did with this other company. Critter Control had a big project here but got us done in a timely manner . We couldn’t be happier . Ask for Travis yes your guy !!!!!!!

Nuisance Wildlife in Lansing and Ionia

Rivers and lakes dotted throughout Mid-Michigan help to form its unique ecosystem. As we develop Lansing and the surrounding areas, we force wildlife to adapt to an urban lifestyle. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources recognizes there will be times when humans have conflicts with local wildlife.

As the animals adapt, some may try to take over certain parts of the city, neighborhoods and even our homes. They may even cause damages or become threatening, which classifies them as a nuisance.

Removing wildlife from your property can be dangerous. Call expert animal control operators like the ones at Critter Control to do the job. They inspect and review options before removing nuisance wildlife. They understand which animals are protected and which need permitting to remove. Once removed, they can focus on exclusion methods and repairing damages.

Below are some examples of how we handle the most common nuisance wildlife problems in Mid-Michigan.

Raccoon Removal

Mid-Michigan residents are quite familiar with these intelligent, dexterous animals who love to seek food in trash cans. Some residents may even enjoy helping these critters fill their bellies by feeding them. Before doing that, please keep in mind that raccoons are rabies vectors and are therefore very dangerous to both humans and pets. If you come across one or more raccoons on your property, please contact your Lansing-based Critter Control office. We will be happy to address your raccoon problems for you.

Inspection

During the inspection, we determine the severity of the raccoon infestation. We look for physical evidence like footprints in or around the home, stains from raccoon feces and urine. On the exterior of the house, we look for damage like scratches on boards, broken vents and screens, ripped apart shingles, destroyed soffits, and every possible entry point.

Raccoon Trapping

Live trapping is one of the most efficient ways to get rid of a raccoon. Depending on the situation, a one-way door or excluder valve can be installed. An excluder valve works by allowing the raccoon to leave but blocks its reentry. The choice of device is largely dependent on the season and location of the raccoons on your property. Direct capture is not commonly used because raccoons are a rabies vector species. If we must trap, we place traps strategically to safely catch the raccoons and we check traps frequently, based on state laws.

Repairs

We provide a wide range of repair and restoration services. We can repair raccoon damage like broken screens on vents and chimneys and broken boards on decks and porches. It is essential to apply cleaning agents and ectoparasite treatments on areas inhabited by raccoons.

Squirrels

Inspection

Wildlife specialists look for signs such as chewing on, in, or around your home, small openings leading to the attic or the crawl space, droppings, and debris like nuts or nesting material. Beams, wires, pipes, and insulation may all show signs of damage from squirrels.

Squirrel Trapping

Live trapping or one-way doors are the most effective and humane ways to get rid of squirrels. One-way doors should never be used during birthing seasons (Spring & Fall), so our specialists will decide which is the best tool for the job. If we have to trap, we place traps strategically to safely catch the squirrels and check those according to state laws.

Repairs

We can restore your home or office by squirrel proofing all entry points after we have removed the offenders. We can also clean-up the nesting sites and remove any debris, food, feces and soiled insulation.

Bat Removal

Michigan is home to nine bat species. Big brown and little brown bats are the most common and can be found in buildings. Although bats can be a nuisance for home and business owners throughout the Central Michigan area, they are protected by law and may not be harmed.

Inspection

We perform a full interior and exterior inspection and search for signs such as rub marks, guano, a strong scent of ammonia, and small openings. The most common sign is the accumulation of guano (feces).

Bat Removal

The most effective and humane way to remove bats is by utilizing a bat valve in conjunction with a full home exclusion. A bat valve allows for bats to exit your home but not re-enter. We follow all local ordinances for humane bat removal. We will never abandon flightless pups in your attic.

Repairs

After removing the bat valves, we seal the entrance hole(s) so bats can no longer enter your home. If there is substantial guano in your attic, you should consider taking advantage of our attic remediation services to remove the soiled insulation and replace it.

Critter Control is here for you every step of the way in the wildlife removal process. From inspection to removal—and even exclusion and repair—we have the services you need to get rid of raccoons, rodents, and other nuisances fast. First, we identify the animal on the property, then use humane methods to remove the animal and secure weak points where more could enter. If damage has been done, we can make those repairs for a complete restoration. Contact a Critter Control office near you today.

STEP 1

Wildlife Inspection

During the inspection we try to ascertain how many animals there are, where they are located, and how they got in. Based on what you have seen, heard and smelled, we start the inspection where you have noticed signs of animal activity. Evidence of animals inside your home include nests, dens, feces, and animal tracks. We investigate the exterior of your home looking for possible entry points, any evidence of animal damage, tracks, fur, animal waste, or rub marks.

STEP 2

Removal

We use several methods to humanely remove the animal from your home. Depending on the species, the number of animals, and the condition of your property, we develop a custom wildlife removal plan. Humane wildlife removal strategies include animal traps, one-way doors, and repellents. Once we guarantee all animals are gone, we implement exclusion techniques. Exclusion techniques provide a safe, long-term solution to nuisance wildlife in your home. We create barriers to prevent animals from getting to resources. We only apply exclusions once we are sure all animals are gone from your home.

STEP 3

Exclusion and Repair

Wildlife will damage your home. Exclusion techniques repair any damage the animal causes getting into your home. Inside your home, animals build nests and dens out of readily available material. They will create runs through the insulation. Rodents will gnaw on anything including electrical wires and pipes. Animals can also spread diseases. We apply sanitation agents to clean up feces and urine. Mammals can host pests like fleas, ticks, and mites. Ectoparasite treatments exterminate those pests so you don’t become their next host.
