I chose this one because they are quick to respond, they came to the house within hours, and they went above and beyond my expectations! Chris explained what he was going to do. He clearly explained his strategy and is very knowledgeable. The company is family owned and operated. They follow up via text message diligently. They show up on time and extremely professional. Most importantly , they know what they are doing and do it well!! It has been three weeks since Chris started to tackle the problem. He has been to the house at least four times to follow up/ treatments. He said icy could take up to eight weeks, but I was there today and saw no sign of life at all!!! Tonight he came and removed a HUGE hornet nest that was outside of a second story window. They are not overpriced, and worth every penny!!! Stop reading this and reach out to them NOW!!!

I was not home at the time and my wife put me on the phone with the tech who apologized and said "you were probably sent a confirmation via text or email. It looks like it's been a busy week for you though so no worries if you missed it". I did not, in fact, miss any confirmation, since none was sent. When I called Cowleys to inquire what happened, they said they don't actually confirm these visits - they just show up?? But then why would you knock on my door if you don't need anyone to be present? This is WILDLY unprofessional behavior - not just showing up unannounced with chemicals in a home with a newborn, but then trying to gaslight me for your lack of communication. The entire phone call felt like the rep was annoyed at me and she did absolutely nothing to help beyond adding me to a "list" where they would notify me to confirm future visits. I've received confirmation from them in the past, so I don't know what happened on their end, but I cancelled my service with the rep immediately. What a waste of money this whole ordeal was. I DO NOT recommend these people at all.

This is a long overdue belated review and a little long so bear with me! Wayne from Absolutely…read moreAmerican Pest Control is fantastic! He answers the phone right away, comes to evaluate the job almost immediately, prices are fair and work is fantastic! I had seen reviews for Strike First but they were too busy and referrred me to Wayne. Wayne replaced the vents on a small family bungalow in Manahawkin to deter the racoons that were living in the attic from returning which required several trips to apply a paste to deter them and to ensure the racoons had not returned and replacing the vents back in late March/early April. Wayne also cleaned out my vents here in Ocean Acres/DR Horton special in Barnegat which required climbing a huge ladder way up to the second floor to check and clean out the vents on the exterior of the house and then climbing into my attic to remove the rest of the nesting material on the inside. Fast forward a few months later and I noticed a vent this time in the rear of the house with bird droppings staining the siding underneath, a telltale sign birds had built a nest there, and he replaced that vent covering for me as well as well as all of the vent coverings at my request (I didn't want to take the chance that the birds would move to the other vents!). The vents are metal and attractive and sit flush against the house, I much prefer them over the plastic grid type that some exterminators place over the vents that extend out from the house. Highly recommended! I will be using Wayne's services again in the future now for regular extermination once I find a pool contractor and finish the pool and all the concrete work!

We contacted Critter Control to remove a raccoon and her kits from our back patio after being told…read morethey would provide a free estimate. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. Two technicians arrived and immediately began the removal process without explaining the scope of work or providing any estimate or pricing upfront. The service itself took approximately 30 minutes, after which we were presented with an unexpectedly high bill. Given the lack of prior communication, we felt pressured into paying for a service we had not agreed to at that price. While we are grateful that the raccoons were removed, the job felt incomplete. No cleaning or sanitization was performed, leaving us to address contamination concerns on both our main floor and back deck ourselves--adding further time and expense. Additionally, we were told this was the only service of its kind in our area, which we know not to be the case. Overall, the lack of transparency, communication, and follow-through made this a disappointing experience. I would not recommend this company based on our experience.

Ongoing Service Issues and Unresolved Squirrel Infestation - Request for Immediate Resolution…read more I am writing to formally document and escalate an ongoing issue with squirrel activity in my attic and the unresolved service I received. The problem began in November 2025, when I discovered a squirrel infestation in my attic. The attic is not easily accessible from the interior of the home, yet the squirrels were able to enter and cause damage. A sales representative came to my home and assured me that the issue would be fully resolved within one week. That commitment was not fulfilled. Despite multiple follow-ups and complaints, the work was not completed in a timely or proper manner. Over the course of several months, supervisors visited my home on at least two occasions to review the job. On both occasions, it was determined that the work had not been completed correctly or was still unfinished. Nevertheless, the full payment was charged to my credit card immediately. Only a portion of the gutters and exterior of the home were sealed. As a result, the squirrels simply moved to another accessible area of the house where the attic is walkable. Because the exclusion work was incomplete, I had to take matters into my own hands and set traps myself to manage the ongoing infestation. When I contacted the sales representative to express my concerns, I was told it had not been enough time for the traps to work. I explained that trapping alone would not resolve the issue because only part of the home had been sealed, allowing the squirrels to continue entering and causing damage. I was also told that it was "not possible" for the squirrels to cause the level of damage I reported in such a short period of time. I was informed that someone would come to verify my claims, but no one arrived for nearly two weeks. I made repeated calls and left messages, which went unanswered. Throughout the winter months, I received no meaningful follow-up or resolution. Despite the lack of completed work and ongoing service issues, I later received an outstanding invoice for $387.86. I contacted the office to question how an additional charge could be issued when the job was never fully completed, materials were left on-site in boxes, and my repeated requests for follow-up had been ignored. I was again told that a supervisor would be sent out for another inspection. I would never recommend to use this company.
