As Seen On
What we do
Our 4 Step Wildlife Removal Process
Home Inspection
The very first thing that we do when arriving at a home, is a full inspection to understand exactly what is going on. During this inspection we get a positive identificaton on the type of animal causing the issue, where they are entering, what types of damages have been made and what areas of the home are vulnerable to animal entry.
Animal Removal
Once the animal has been identified, we create a plan to humanely remove the animal in the fastest possible way. The types of traps used or the type of trap set up done, is custom to every situatuon as all nuisance wildlife situations are unique from home to home. We always use traps that are safe with children and pets around.
Clean Up Services
After the animals are removed, we address the contamination they left behind. Raccoon feces can carry Baylisascaris parasites. Bat guano harbors histoplasmosis fungal spores. Rat droppings and urine contaminate insulation and air systems. These are real health hazards that require professional removal, sanitization, and in many cases full insulation replacement.
Guaranteed Exclusion Work
Our wildlife exclusion and animal proofing services are second to none. We do not just patch entry points with flashing or foam like you may see with some companies. We are Ridge Guard certified, Bird Barrier Certified and certified in Advanced Metal Fabrication, we only use materials that are truly animal proof. Our Exclusion work always comes with a warranty.

Bird Control
The Critter Team offers many different bird removal services, but the most common type of bird removal is a bird in a vent. Whether it is a bathroom vent or a dryer vent we can help resolve the problem. The main reason a bird enters a vent is to make a nest to have babies. A vent makes a bird feel safe because it an area where they feel protected and predators wont go in and take their young. But that can cause problems for the homeowner. A bird will break the slats that the vent has to go into it. Some homeowners won’t realize that birds are in there until the vent it completely closed off because of the nest or nests; and that can cause a fire hazard if it is in a dryer vent.
