FAQS

What does Critter Control do with the animals they remove?

Depending on your state’s regulations, Critter Control may relocate animals off your property or back onto your own land. If neither is permitted or feasible, humane euthanasia may be conducted. Some situations allow exclusion devices to be used instead—letting animals exit safely while preventing re-entry.

Are animals killed during removal?

Critter Control’s mission emphasizes ethical and humane treatment. Their standard practice uses exclusion methods designed to keep animals alive wherever legally permissible.

How much does wildlife removal cost?

Pricing varies based on factors like where the animal is located (e.g., attic, chimney), type and condition of the animal, property access, and time of year (such as when offspring are present). The cost typically covers removal only and does not include structural repairs.

Do you perform home inspections and provide estimates?

Yes—Critter Control conducts a full inspection to identify wildlife activity, invasion points, and suitable removal methods. After assessing the situation, they provide a customized solution and cost estimate.

Do you offer wildlife damage repair and prevention services?

Absolutely. Beyond humane removal, Critter Control provides exclusion services to prevent future invasions and repairs any damage caused by wildlife, such as insulation replacement, wall remediation, and chimney capping.
