We felt like idiots but can highly recommend the responses from 2 companies who both helped us ID the issue on-site.

The inspector arrived when expected (texting to keep us updated on arrival time) and was professional, well-informed, and thorough. Even came with shoe protectors to keep floors clean after poking around. He somehow managed to keep a straight face and remain cheerful and compassionate when it turned out to be a false alarm. Pointed out some roof / attic repairs that may be needed, unrelated to wildlife. We learned about PCA through Reddit, from others who actually had wildlife and gave them high marks for removal. So, though we didn't up needing their removal services, I'd call them again if we DID have that problem. I've found that professionalism from the start is a good omen.

I love nature, but I prefer it to live outside my house! When I heard "movement" above the ceiling and contacted Justin, he arrived in less than 30 minutes. He was able to identify my unwanted roommate as a raccoon. Justin set a humane trap and the next morning was able to safely relocate the pregnant raccoon! Justin was professional and personable! He is very knowledgeable about animal behavior and how to safely remove/relocate animals from your home. If I hear a strange noise in the ceiling again, I'm calling Justin! read more

The Critter Man understands wildlife. He knows the animals' habits and how to identify them, so he was able to solve the animal problems I was having - from squirrels in my attic to raccoons, skunks, and opossums in my yard. He then provided the solutions I needed to prevent further squirrels chewing into my house and wildlife living under it. The Critter Man is a reliable, honest, and trustworthy company. I highly recommend them. read more

Justin was very personable and timely in responding to our unwanted guest. He quickly identified the culprit as a pesky raccoon that was trying to establish residence in our home!!

Johnson Exterminating

Consumer Review / Formal Statement…read more My name is Rommie Huffman. David Johnson bid on and was awarded a project tied to my VA Home Loan. After the installation, he represented himself as the service provider for the full length of the warranty and even listed himself as the contact for any future issues. Despite this, when I reached out for service, he refused to honor his obligation. For weeks he misled me--telling me he was coming, telling me not to hire another provider--yet never showed up. He also refused to provide contact numbers for any licensed providers who could service the unit. This left me with no safe option for warranty or repair. The manufacturer requires that the unit be properly installed and serviced only by trained providers; if not, the warranty is void. That means any error in his installation or failure to service exposes me to total loss. Mr. Johnson was even given the opportunity to comply with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) complaint system, and he refused. This shows he had more than enough time and chances to make it right, but he chose not to. His refusal went beyond neglect--it directly contributed to the worsening of my situation. During the peak of summer humidity, when the system should have been protecting my home, his failure to service left me dealing with mold growth. This is unacceptable, especially given that this project is directly tied to my VA Home Loan. The matter is not closed, and I will continue pursuing accountability. I am a disabled veteran with both physical and psychiatric disabilities. My physical conditions prevent me from going into my crawl space. My mother is also disabled and lives with me. She is extremely allergic to moms and this is the reason the previous owners assisted in payment of this being completed. Mr. Johnson's conduct is not just poor business--it has real consequences for our health, our home, and our rights. He will be held accountable for any and all violations of his obligations.

Only the bait stations were installed. We brought this to our techs attention he said if we wanted to buy snap traps on our own that's fine he wasn't putting them down because they don't work for this type of rodent (rats). We went 4 weeks w bait stations and had a little less activity. We contacted the office asking for a contact to discuss why we were told they would use both bait and snaps and now the tech refuses to put snap traps down. We waited 8 days with no contact. We paid a total of 350 dollars to the company and had to buy our own snap traps. We out them down and in a week we are almost no activity at all. Was very impressed at the initial visit but every visit after left us confused as to whether our tech had even read our contract. They were always responsive when they want to schedule a paid visit not so much in between. In fact NOT AT ALL in between. Very disappointed as when we spoke to the 2 gentlemen at the initial appointment before signing contract we were very hopeful we would be giving a 5 star review as they talked really well and seemed knowledgeable. That was the extent of that. Our tech Robert wasn't very friendly and blatantly refused to out snap traps down after he rescheduled his visit b/c it was raining and he didn't want to get his tires and truck dirty even tho I had taken a half day at work to make this appointment possible as weekends weren't an option.. unless it meant the truck would get dirty.
