Goose Identification
With their long necks and legs, geese look like large ducks and are found in many of the same wetland habitats and backyard ponds. Their plumage comes in a variety of colors and, instead of quacking, they make a nasal honking sound. Two common types are the all-white snow goose and the brown Canada goose identified by its black neck, white underside, and white chinstrap markings.
Where Geese Live
Geese typically fly in large groups and can travel great distances throughout the year. They have adapted to urban living and are now found in parks, fields, yards, rivers, and lakes. After setting up a home base near a body of water, populations can surge rapidly.
Problems & Removal
The birds can be quite cocky when reacting to humans, becoming aggressive if they feel people are encroaching on their territory. In addition to the noise factor associated with large flocks of geese, these animals are not at all picky about where they leave their large, foul-smelling droppings. This waste carries disease and can pollute a substantial area. Since some species of these pests are federally protected, homeowners should not attempt removal on their own. Turn to the licensed professionals at Critter Control to prevent or stop problems caused by geese.

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!
