He did a thorough check upstairs in the attic area. No evidence of squirrels but it was a relief to know they had not gotten inside. He did a walk around inspection outside to check for possible issue entry points. Jason was very polite and thorough with his inspection. I would recommend Critter Ridder for any issues with pesky animals that can cause damage to your home.

We recently had Eric Calabrese from ClearDefense out to our home in Chapin to investigate some…read morescratching sounds and suspected mouse activity. I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the moment he arrived, Eric was professional, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to walk through every area of concern with us--the kitchen, pantry, laundry room, under the sinks, the garage, and even did a thorough exterior inspection. He didn't just glance around; he got down on his hands and knees, checked voids behind cabinets, examined droppings to determine age and size, and explained exactly what he was seeing. What impressed me most was his honesty and education-first approach. When he found droppings, he showed us the difference between fresh and old ones, pointed out which were from mice versus lizards (skinks) based on the texture and white uric acid tips, and estimated we were dealing with just 2-3 mice rather than a full infestation. That transparency meant a lot. Eric also took the time to explain why we might be having issues--pointing out the gap under our garage door, the back patio door that doesn't always latch properly, and how our proximity to the retention pond increases rodent pressure. Instead of pushing expensive treatments, he prioritized exclusion: sealing entry points, setting snap traps strategically, and following up in two weeks. He even explained why he avoids exterior bait boxes to protect the local cats and wildlife, which showed a genuine care for our property and the surrounding ecosystem. We also discussed ants, flies, termites, and even snakes--Eric answered every question with patience and expertise. He made us feel like partners in the process, not just customers. If you're dealing with pests in the Chapin area, ask for Eric. He's thorough, honest, and clearly passionate about what he does. We're grateful for his help and will absolutely use ClearDefense for any future needs. Thank you, Eric!

The quotes were considerably higher than I was comfortable paying. I called Allstar Wildlife to get a quote from them. Brad inspected our home and gave me a quote on steps that were required to remove the bats and prevent their return. His quote saved me thousands. He came out and determined that the bats had left the soffit area and took the needed steps to seal my home from bats and prevent their return. He took the time to explain to an old man why each item on his quote was needed and how it would prevent future problems. Brad was courteous, had lots of patience with me, did outstanding work and charged a reasonable price for his services. I highly recommend Brad and Allstar Wildlife Removal.

BEWARE! TRICKERY! DECEPTIVE! Brad Gross, the "owner" of…read moreAllstar Wildlife, came to my house on 3/21/22 to inspect what I thought was squirrels in my attic. He determined it is rats (allegedly). He set "traps" that date and said he'd return the next day to check them, feeling certain there'd be rats trapped. He returned 3/22/22 and there was nothing. He advised he'd return on 3/24/22 and certainly there would be at least one trapped. He came back again on 3/24/22 and again, nothing. At this visit he asked me for $150.00, assuring me we would eventually catch them....No contract yet given to me, no nothing in writing. However, I agreed and gave him $150.00 in cash. No receipt. He didn't come back at all Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday! On Monday I expressed my irritation in a nice but firm fashion. However, he was too busy at another job to deal with me and would get to me tomorrow (3/29) On the afternoon of Tuesday 3/29/22 I received an email with a line-item fix-it list (ie, closing up outdoor areas that he thinks the rats can get in by, yet I never saw any of these areas and I don't have any sort of open area to my house, Bio cleanup attic space, etc). The invoice also reflected the $150 paid for "trapping" and an eventual total amount of $570. He texted me on that afternoon (Tuesday 3/29) indicating he'd like to come by and check the traps. I replied that I was at work but would once again, leave early. I have now missed a total of 9 hours of work over the span of 1 week, with no results. He came to my house, collected the traps without speaking to me at all, and as he was walking out the front door I stopped him and asked if he'd caught anything. "Nothing", he said. I asked him what the plan was and he informed me I should find another company to help me. I asked him about the $150.00 I gave him just a few days ago on 3/24 and he said, "That was for trapping". I said, "You haven't trapped anything and now you're not even going to honor the contract you just sent me today... so you had me leave work early again just to come collect your traps." He said, "Well I didn't want to charge you for them." I then told him that I'd be leaving online reviews as this is trickery, deception, and bad business and he became irate, calling me names as he stormed out of my house, saying, 'I dare you, and I'll get you back'. I sent him one final text requesting he return the $150 I gave him, and I was met in return with a barrage of foul and hateful names and threats to sue me for slander. Do not do business with this 'man' (I use that term loosely). He obviously has no idea what he's doing, takes money from people before a job is completed or even partially completed, and then threatens and name calls. This is NOT someone you want in your home around your family. Additionally, requesting $150 should have been a red flag, but refusing to return it is an even bigger one! Do yourself a favor and let my mistake be your gain. Call another wildlife removal service! Call ANYONE BUT Allstar Wildlife or Brad Gross. Also, do a criminal history check of Tracey Brad Gross. Domestic violence, foreclosures, etc. Guy is a fraud.
