Damage Rabbits Can Do
Yard Damage
Rabbit damage to lawns and landscaping is common year-round in suburban, urban, and rural areas. When building projects replace wildlife habitats, rabbits often prefer to adjust to their new surroundings rather than leave. As a result, people may suffer losses to fruits, flowers, and other plants.
Damage to Trees
Areas with plenty of foliage provide easy meals for these animals. While eating, rabbits harm trees by stripping away bark and clipping off buds. Cold, snowy winters account for more rabbit damage to trees than warmer times of the year. A thick blanket of snow allows the pests to feed on higher branches and buries other food sources.
Rabbits in the Garden
In addition to injured trees, rabbit damage to plants and flowers occurs in gardens. These pests interfere with plantings during many stages of their growth, feeding on sprouts as well as stems, leaves, buds, petals, and mature fruits or vegetables.
Lawn Issues
The animals dig burrows in yards to create a safe haven for themselves and their babies. Rabbit damage to the lawn also happens when these pests trample plantings while looking for meals. Though not as destructive as moles, rabbits create minor problems that turn into a considerable nuisance.
Preventing Rabbits
Setting up fences and planting flowers that the pests dislike around the edges of gardens may deter rabbits that harm lawns. However, thanks to the animals' digging abilities, it may be hard to entirely keep them out. To stop serious rabbit damage to plants and yards, call on the team at Critter Control.

Best Bat Removal
Brandon was out to please and make out lives easier with out bat situation. Above and beyond of the call of duty and got the job done. Thank you!
BAT POOP CLEAN-UP AND PREVENTION! Bat guano removed from gables. No bats found in attic, so put new screens on all gable vents, as one screen was close to breaking and then bats may have gotten in! Great work in
Tulsa!
Squirrels and chipmunks were in our attic. So we called Critter Control to do an inspection. Their representative climbed all over our very steep roof and found several places where squirrels had entered our attic.
Upon inspection of the attic, evidence of bats was also found. The Critter Control team came on time to completely caulk the entire perimeter of the house and create an exit strategy for the squirrels and bats.
Because
bat droppings can cause histoplasmosis, this also required total removal and replacement of our attic insulation and sanitizing the space. Not a small job in a 1,300 sq. ft. attic! While Critter Control’s cost was high, our homeowners insurance covered most of it. Everyone representing Critter Control was professional, courteous and timely. I would highly recommend them to anyone who thinks they might have unwelcome guests living in their attic
On recommendations from a nearby pest control company, I called Critter Control for suspicious
bat droppings.
Madison came out the same day to do an inspection. She was knowledgeable, thorough, and highly professional. She examined the ‘matter’ that had been scattered on my threshold and thought it was foliage. But she then asked to go up to my attic space where the bats could be roosting. She had to walk up 3 flights of stairs with a heavy ladder. She again spent some time searching all the nooks and crannies and found nothing.
She seemed so interested in her craft, it was truly inspiring to see! She reassured me and is writing up a prevention strategy for my appraisal. She charged me NOTHING!! I am so impressed. We need more Madisons in this world!

We noticed droppings on our brand new deck - we were given their number from our contractor. They came the next day. Brian looked at it and said - yeah, bats!! He then checked every area in our attic and he explained exactly what needed to be done.
He found evidence of a mice infestation, provided a referral and they are helping us as well. Great service, very informative, very professional! We are very satisfied and would recommend them to anyone who has any issues with any critters!
