In spite of being pretty careful about sealing up possible entry points to my house, I heard a scratching sound from a wall in my kitchen a few weeks ago. These guys came out and quickly identified the problem and found the point of entry, as well as several other possible entry points around the perimeter of my house. They set traps and gave me an estimate for repair work, which I reviewed with them in detail and then approved. Work was completed efficiently on time and very professionally. I dont envy these guys their jobs - they work in some pretty nasty conditions. But they were knowledgeable, responsible, very professional, and seemed to genuinely enjoy solving my problem. I trust that they could deal with almost any residential pest problem.Their objective is to seal up your property so nothing can get in as opposed to coming to your house to spray it with poison every month. So far so good!

Khoa was the employee who handled everything at my home. He was always on time, professional, friendly, well spoken and competent, and willingly to answer any questions I had.After discovering rat activity I contacted Critter Control for an inspection ($199 for my single story ~1500sf home) to get more information about the problem. The inspection was very detailed including photographs of all the possible problem areas that needed to be fixed as well as the price to fix each issue. I contacted Critter control for more information about how the problems would be fixed and why some areas were noted as needing fixing. The response I got from the Chris was very detailed and answered all of my questions and demonstrated he knew what he was talking about. I proceeded with having all the repairs done as well as paying for their trapping service ($399 for initial trap setup in both attic and crawlspace, and 3 follow up checks). Everything was done as promised and pictures were provided to show all of the fixes that were performed. Due to scheduling, the repairs couldnt be done until the 3rd trap check, so I got an extra trap check for free to ensure nothing was trapped after the repairs had been completed.Even though the repairs have only been done for a week, I have confidence that should I have any issues Critter Control will stand behind their work and do any necessary follow up.Originally I had planned on only getting the inspection and doing the repairs and trapping myself, and this is definitely something that you could do if you are comfortable with it - the inspection provides all the details you need to address any issues. But ultimately I felt Critter Control would do a better job than I would, and that it was worth paying the premium to avoid the hassle myself and have the professionals take care of the issue. While they may not be the cheap, you do get what you pay for.

This company is very well organized and thorough. You are assigned one person and that person does all the inspection and follow up. Steve was very professional and courteous. The inspection was thorough and they sealed our home from rodents. Its not inexpensive but we paid half as much a few years ago to have the house rat proofed and it didnt work so we felt the investment was worth it. I found many good reviews for them online and through Nextdoor before hiring them. Steve also built custom doors for our crawlspaces which look great. Nice guys and easy to have around. I appreciated their hard work and professionalism.

Shortly after the weather changed to colder nighttime temperatures we started noticing scratching sounds in the crawl space under our kitchen area. Several weeks later we noticed rodent droppings in the area we feed our dog. Since there was the possibility it could be opossums, squirrels or raccoons in our crawl space our pest control service recommended Critter Control. Our assigned technician, Steve, was dispatched to perform a thorough inspection which included our crawl space, our attic space, our roof and our foundation. Within 24 hours after the inspection was completed we received a thorough report of issues and suggested resolutions. His primary observation was evidence of roof rats. We scheduled him for setting traps and, a week later, performing the structural repairs. Within a week after setting the traps we captured 4 rats inside and 3 in the crawl space. The mitigation work was performed and during the trap check no additional rats were found. The noises we heard previously also ceased. During the last trap check there was still no evidence of rodents or wildlife. We highly recommend Critter Control, Steve and Angelica for providing excellent customer service and completely resolving our issue in a timely manner.

Critter Control is the epitome of professionalism, expertise, and friendly-service. I cannot rate them highly enough. 10+ stars if I could.We have caught four rats under our house and tried to close every opening we could find. David and his teammate Andrew came out and at a glance spotted a half-dozen or more access points we missed because we simply dont know what to look for. We were fortunate too that they were able to do the repairs during the inspection. Were so relieved and they gave us info about maintenance and what to watch for so were equipped to do our own prevention in the future.We had another service - very highly rated on Yelp - come out and the inspector told us we didnt have any signs of rats, even though we had already caught one, and caught a further three after he left. That was frustrating.Critter Control would never let that happen. Our techs were so conscientious and diligent, they even did a minor patch or two and didnt charge us, because they just want to make their customers happy. Oh - and they cleaned out a cat skeleton under the house that we knew was there but were too squeamish to go get. Bleck.I think their business is going to blow up because theyre head and shoulders above the other highly rated company we tried, so call them now while you can still get on their calendar!!

I had Critter Control put a cap on my chimney after an owl got into my house through the fireplace. It took 2 attempts before the right size cap was received, but that was no problem because they kept me informed along the way and always kept their appointments as scheduled or even arrived earlier when possible. I was extremely satisfied with the service provided, and it was a pleasure to have Steve complete the delivery and installation of the chimney cap. I highly recommend Critter Control.

Critter Control helped us gain control of a rodent problem in our last home and now is helping to prevent rodent access in our new home. Steve is a pleasure to work with and is very diligent about finding every possible hole or crevice that could allow a rodent in. Weve had no issues since Steve sealed up our house from these clever little invaders. I recommend Critter Control to anyone who needs help trapping or preventing entry. They do great work!

I was having problems with a raccoon getting into my garage and from there into my house. Mike did a thorough inspection of possible ways the raccoon was getting in.. After blocking the most likely, they set traps. We didn’t catch the raccoon, but he didn’t get back in either. I was very impressed with Mike who did the inspection and set the traps. He was extremely knowledgeable and also very nice and the response from Chris in the office was first rate. The service was super easy to schedule and very efficient. They told us EXACTLY when they would be here (no 4 hr windows), and I feel like this service was an excellent value for the price!

Like a few others have said, Critter Control of San Jose is easy to schedule and they are very honest and decent. I called a couple of other places and they all told me that they are scheduled out for over 1 week, or 10 days, or what have you, but Critter Control came out today--the same day I called them--on a Saturday no less. Also, Mike just gave me some good advice and did not even charge me. He showed me what to do and said, Honestly, if it were me, I would not catch them. I would just seal that hole in your pool shed. Also, he gave me wire mesh to seal the hole and did not charge me. I would highly recommend them.

Critter Control is an awesome company and they do the hard work that the other big names Pest Control companies wont do. For example, they will get in the attic and search out the animals and place traps whereas the big companies will only check as far as they can reach in. Every time I go away from Critter Control I end up going back to them

Steve, Chris and Team did a great job. There was significant damage from a burst sewer pipe under that house. Yuck! They explained the situation so I was able to take care of it. They also took care of the rodent issues. I was very happy with their professionalism all the way through the process.

Khoa did a thorough and careful job with our inspection, working with us on trapping, and repairing possible entry points for our roof rat visitors. He is an exceptionally honest, trustworthy, and good guy who carefully followed all Covid-19 safety protocols. They provide a very professional report of entry points with photos and recommendations and their pricing was fair. Our roofline is steep, and although I wish they could have done more work for us up there, they were honest about insurance restrictions and recommended that we instead hire qualified roofers for that part of the job. Critter Control was recommended to us by another pest control company who is swamped and no longer traveling to our area. After hearing horror stories about other pest control companies, we feel lucky to have been referred to Critter Control and if you choose them, we recommend that you ask for Khoa.

The initial inspection was done by another team member but he had since departed the company, so Steve took over the job. Steve and the team had set clear expectation about the job up front – setting the mouse/rat traps, and repairing various parts of our house to seal off any openings from which mice and rats could enter.The job involved the total of four visits, with two of them being quick trap checks. They were punctual, polite, and very efficient. We are very happy with how the job went.

My moms neighbor down the backside of her backyard called and said there was a dead deer starting to smell. I got the message and started calling around government offices at state and local and discovered they dont remove dead deer on private property. Luckily through google I found Critter Control. Chris called back right away, price seemed reasonable to me and he could do it same day. He was also honest in giving the name of a competitor who is larger company and maybe cheaper. I appreciated the honesty but never called the other guy. Deer was removed the same day and I got regular communication on work schedule and progress from Chris. I am extremely pleased with the service level from Critter Control and give them my highest recommendation.

Weve been using Critter Control for many years, we started our relationship with a Racoon invasion that they helped us out with (11 total!) Then over the years due to our tile roof, weve had a bit of a rodent issue that Steve has always helped out with. Cant say enough good things about this company, from the office staff to the troopers that have to do the dirty work & never complain. We feel we have made a friend in Steve..Stay safe boys, glad you are still in business!! Don & Carla

I called Critter Control because I was having a raccoon problem and needed their assistance. They were extremely friendly, timely and very professional via phone, email and in person . I spoke or interacted with at least 4 people from the company and they were all really friendly people and great doing their job. They did what they said they were going to do, when they said they were going to do it. They were always there on time to pick up any raccoons we got in the traps. I highly recommend them and will without question call them back if I ever need or have a large animal problem.

Review №26

Needed someone to come out to investigate noises in the attic. Read some reviews on Nextdoor and decided to give them a call. David came out to investigate. He identified potential entrance points, provided photos, proposed a plan, and set up a live trap to catch the squirrel(s).A total of three were trapped within a two day period. After several days of no activity and an empty trap, David and an assistant came to plug up and repair the previously identified potential entrance points. They were professional, courteous, and efficient in completing the repairs. The entire team at the San Jose office exceeded my expectations. Special thanks to Mike who came out to my house twice within four hour time span to remove two trapped squirrels, and set new traps.

Im a big DIY fan so I tried DIY rodent control without any success. So I called Critter Control who sent Dave and Andrew. While maintaining social distance, they quickly crawled into places in our house that I try to avoid and set a bunch of traps.The next day, (at 2:29 a.m. exactly, thanks to our Nest camera) one of their traps caught a rat as it was trying to get into our crawl space. We called the office, who sent Dave and Andrew back to collect not only this rat, but 3 others they caught. They replaced the traps with new ones and will be back next week to see if they get any more rats.They also gave me a repair quote to patch the entry points, which I will accept, because so far their work looks very good.

The Critter Control team provides very professional and effective service. We had been living in a rodent nightmare for nearly two years which no other service we that tried fixed. Finally, we contacted Critter Control. They provided us with pictures of the points of entry that the other services didn’t find. Critter Control did the repairs, again gave us “after” photos and we haven’t had any unwanted critters since they did. The office staff is also polite and professional.

Responsive, friendly and very helpful. We were having some rodent activity in our crawl space, and Critter Control helped to lay traps + double check all areas were properly sealed so that no future access can take place. Havent had any rodent activity since, so fingers crossed it stays this way. Thanks Critter Control

These guys are awesome!! They caught a pesky rat that woke me up everyday for weeks in the early hours scurrying around in my attic. I’m finally sleeping soundly again with no more critters. Yay! Their entire team (Luis, Chris, Dave, Steve, and Jake) were amazing! They are friendly, knowledgeable and have a great work ethic. They repaired every potential entry point around the outside of my house and went above and beyond their expected work responsibilities to ensure that my house is a safe haven again. Don’t hesitate in calling the Critter Control of San Jose!

Last year Jake removed a possum from my crawlspace and plugged the holes. This year he rat-proofed my attic and plugged the hole. Everything he did was professional and punctual. When he did the crawl space last year, he crawled into the tightest space imaginable to trap the possum and replace a vent. This year, under warranty, he made numerous trips to my attic to get rid of a rat who repeatedly tripped the traps and ate the bait. Jake was always polite and easy to deal with. I hope I never need CC of SJ services again, but thats only because I dont want any more critters over or under my house!

Critter Control provided a full-service experience, not only trapping our uninvited rodent, but locating and making repairs to insure no more entered into the house. I was impressed by their ability to identify the problem based on the signs different animals leave and their patterns of activity. It was expensive, but worth the peace of mind that it was a job well-done that could have cost more down the road.

Robert came to my home several times to help eliminate a rat situation in the crawlspace. He was prompt - even early, with a call to make sure we were home - and was patient with my questions. He photographed the areas where the rats were gaining access, explained everything, then returned and completed the repairs. He also fit in an unscheduled visit to remove some trapped rats, rather than making me wait. While I hope not to need them, I would happily use Critter Control again in the future.

We had a rat problem and Rob came out for inspection and later did repairs. They charge upfront for the very 1st inspection, but it is worth because I saw many companies came out with free inspection and dump out a huge repair statement, which is nonsense. How can they give out a repair statement without detailed inspection? Critter Control was honest and fair. After repair, we havent had any rat problem.
