If you get skunks they are the ones to call. Although it's my sincere desire it's a call you never have to make

Spent thousands to seal up our roof. The guys who did it seemed professional - no complaints. They put up traps before sealing the attic. The company promised to come by and check our traps before and after sealing the attic. My wife called a week after they sealed the attic and asked for some one to come check the traps as she heard a trap go off. The coma My rep said there was no need to check the traps they put up so soon.
Fast forward a few weeks and I just pulled a maggot infested rat from our attic while trying to get Christmas decorations down. Merry Christmas from critter control! The company was apparently bought recently and they clearly are struggling. Update: the company provided a refund of their pest removal fee after being contacted today To me that's a good sign they care about their customer's satisfaction. I sincerely they get back to their previous service levels. We need quality pest control in south Florida.

I have called this company twice now to remove a squirrel from my attic. The first time I was promised a call from Brandon within an hour. This was on Wed the 27th of October. I called back Nov 1st, yesterday, because I never heard from Brandon. I stated my issue calmly and without anger. I was promised the issue would be escalated to the manager and someone would be getting back to me. It is now over 24 hours later and I still have had NO response/no phone call/no voice mail.
This is inexcusable and I cannot believe this company had such a high rating with the way they treat their potential customers. Needless to say, I won't be using them for my current situation or any situation in the future. I am far from a Karen, but if you want my money as a customer then you better at least respond. I've been fairly patient considering. My recommendation to everyone reading these reviews: STAY AWAY unless you want to waste your time and let whatever critter you're trying to remove continue to remain in your home and destroying whatever they are. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Jaydon was an exceptional technician. He was actually able to find the tiny bat in our large unfinished basement, which is no easy feat. We were very happy with his service, and the excellent communication & coordination by Colleen to get Jaydon out to us the same day we called.

They won't answer you and they will charge you 400 to pick up a rat to throw it away. They rarely show up. Made my infestation way worse. Orkin is far better and far more responsive and a better value for your dollar! My home is now ruined because they have not gotten back to me.
