“My husband was out of the country when I heard noises in the kitchen ceiling.  It was very creepy and I had visions of critters dropping from the ceiling and coming face to face with me; and of course I would be frozen in place.  As soon as someone referenced Critter Control to me, I immediately called and spoke to them.  They were out the next morning and nicely accommodated my work schedule.  They explained their process in great detail with price estimates and then immediately set to work assessing the "hole" situation.  It had snowed perhaps the day before and was frigid cold but they were up on the roof, balconies, etc.  I can not say enough good things about their work.

I have become frustrated lately with trying to find various house supports and have been told quotes would be forthcoming, people would come to assess, etc.  With Critter Control, everything they promised or said, they did; and they were pleasant to deal with. I highly recommend them.”

I used these services to get rid of squirrels that had eaten their way through fascia board. Dan Master was very good to work with. He was helpful in answering my many questions. He was very professional and even did some extras for me that I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend this Critter Control to my friends. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again, but let's hope I won't need to. Thank you for a job well done.

There's nothing worse than having squirrels invade your house and terrorize you. Dan and his team at Critter Control are here to help! They took care of my problem(s), repaired my house and were very reasonable about the time frame to be paid. Couldn't ask for more....well, perhaps some sort of squirrel-be-gone apparatus permanently installed on my house....

Somerville, MA

Talk about squirrels chewing up you home. Well, this was the probem. I hired Critter Control of Boston. The first time, my neighbor and I had a shared problem of squirrels infiltrating our homes and eating away at the joices. I could hear them chewing!! Our homes are 5 story brownstones. The squirrels were on the 5th level doing their damage. Critter Control of Boston responded rapidly, assessed the problem and went to work, very professionally, catching the "chew culprits" and removing them from the premises. Critter Control of Boston brought the proper ladder to reach the 5th level of the building. Dan Master sealed up the entrance hole the squirrels were using. I hope this problem with the squirrels does not occur again. However, if it does, I will call Critter Control of Boston to correct the problem.

I wanted to Thank You and Critter Control for helping us resolve and number of wildlife issues that we have had over the past 6 months.  Being a property manager, I am very busy and knowing that I can trust in you to show up and get the job done in a timely and professional fashion at a great price makes my life a lot easier.  What I really appreciated was the informative feedback that you had provided me to help me understand the issues at hand.

Brian - Allston, MA

We had Critter Control handle a serious issue with a raccoon that had invaded our attic and proceeded to have a litter. We had enlisted the services of a different company who just set traps outside with no success and then told us the raccoon had probably left the house. When we discovered that was not the case, we called Critter Control and they took a multi-faceted approach that eventually led to a successful conclusion. I would heartily recommend Critter Control to anyone in a similar situation.

Please let me recommend highly the work of your field person Ben.  He has been extremely co-operative and helpful.  His manner and professionalism are quite remarkable.

I own a large property management company that works with banks who have foreclosed homes with tenants still living in them. The situations can be very sensitive as the tenants are in a confusing and anxious period of their lives and have no idea what the next day may bring. I received an order from a bank that a property in Chelsea, MA, had young children living in the home and squirrels were getting into the attic and actually eating through the walls and accessing the living areas of the house. Given young children were involved, the situation was an emergency. I contacted Dan Master of Critter Control of Greater Boston. On a holiday weekend, he immediately went to the property on Friday afternoon, and coordinated everything with the tenants. He then went back on Saturday, Sunday, and a Holiday Monday to remove the squirrels from the traps and make sure the tenants were taken care of. Dan was professional, responsive, and thorough. He took ownership of the job and saw it through to completion. I would highly recommend Dan Master of Greater Boston Critter Control to anybody with similar problems with pests.

Matt Connelly, Owner, Gryphon Group LLC Raynham MA

Ben was very pleasant, responsive and professional. I would not think twice hiring you guys again and have already recommended you to friends of mine!

Clemens

Dan Master and his team from Critter Control were very professional. They always arrived as scheduled and were willing to answer all questions. On the first visit Dan performed a thorough inspection, explained as he went along, and provided options for remediation. On a subsequent visit the house was sealed to prevent entry of unwanted critters.

Medford, MA

We called Critter Control at the ungodly hour of 6:30 AM this morning (5/ 10/11) to report a problem we were having with a dead skunk that had died (as luck would have it) inside the space between the basement and the outside wall of the house. Oh, the stench! We had had another pest control company come the day before, with no success. THAT company's employee merely noticed we had a terrible smell (really?), hypothesized where it could come from (after I led the technician practically to the spot itself), used our ladder to make a cursory examination of the area, didn't see anything, and then said he couldn't do anything anyway if it involved removing any wood to get at the animal. Then he charged $98 for the service call.
On the other hand, Critter Control, to our great (and very happy) surprise, after I had left a brief message on their voicemail, called back within 5 minutes (thank you, Ben!) and had a technician come to our aid by 8:30 AM. Ed from C. Control, a wonderful, knowledgeable, and very helpful man brought *his own ladder* and found the animal (in the same spot as was indicated by yesterday's pest control guy) within about 5 minutes. (He actually practically climbed into the space to locate it, unlike yesterday's technician, who waved his flashlight around for a bit, then clambered down the ladder because he couldn't see anything.) 
After thoroughly investigating how best to remove it, Ed did so without any damage to any walls, AND he fortified the exterior of the house where the skunk most likely got in, AND sprayed the area with lovely-smelling citrus spray, removing all the debris in the hole where the animal was to help clear out the smell quicker (and then he let us keep the rest of the bottle of citrus spray for use later). All this, and he honored the $20 service call discount C.Control offers in its ad in the Yellow Pages. We can breathe easy (literally!) again. Thank you Ed and thank you Critter Control!  If ever we are assailed by anything dead, stinky, or just plain annoying (in the animal line), you will be the first people we call.

Aimee - Brookline, MA

Thanks for helping us out. Your service was prompt, friendly and competent. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

Barbara

From our first contact by phone, your staff were kind, pleasant, and helpful. They were thorough and professional, and they fixed our problem promptly. We'll recommend you to anyone with similar issues in their house.

Daniel

Thank you for your quick and professional response to my squirrel problem. You very clearly explained the process and fee structure to me and I had no questions when the invoice arrived. I would highly recommend your services. Thank you for your help.

Alexander - Watertown, MA

MY EXPERIENCE WITH CRITTER CONTROL WAS EXCELLENT. THE WORKER WHO CAME TO MY HOUSE TO PLACE THE TRAPS WAS PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND VERY COURTEOUS. ALSO HE CALLED ME WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD, SHOWED UP WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD, AND WAS ALWAYS DRESSED IN A  PROFESSIONAL MANNER. OVERALL I WAS PLEASED WITH CRITTER CONTROL AS AN AGENT TO ELIMENATE PESTS.

Peter - Quincy, MA

We were very impressed with the professionalism with which this was handled by Critter Control. We are so glad to claim our condo back after living with the squirrels in the crawl space right next to our living space.

Ralf

Excellent professional service with very knowledgeable and dependable staff. Highly recommend their fine services with humane and careful followup daily. Their contract and fees are very reasonable as the task is very complex....

Joyce

Eddy helped us get rid of birds in our house and saved us having electrical problems by taking down a bird's nes nestled beneath the gutter on electrical wires. Thank you, Eddy.

Carol

I just submitted a glowing report on Angie’s List.  Your company was great: on the phone prior to the visit you were right on the mark in thinking it was a mouse infestation. And Ben was terrific during his two visits. He was calm, informative, thorough, and very respectful of our home. As I noted he even chuckled at our pathetic jokes. As I’m sure many customers say to you, I hope we don’t need your services again but if we do Critter Control is on speed dial!

My experience with Critter Control in taking care of my squirrel problem and installation of a chimney cap at my multi-family property in Malden, MA has been one of rapid response, thoroughness, convenience, high quality workmanship, effectiveness, professionalism, and reasonably priced.  I think that just about covers all the bases.

Kevin

My experience with Critter Control was fabulous.  Ben showed extreme patience and persistence in removing a mother raccoon and her babies from my chimney.  Because of the raccoons stubbornness it took more than one visit but Ben showed up when promised and explained everything that he was doing.  I am now "critter" free.  I would recommend Critter Control to anyone looking for assistance in removing critters from their home.

Pam

I just want to say how great your tech was.
He was out here fast and took care of it.
Thank you so much.

Candy

We were very pleased with the professionalism and skill of the Critter Control people. They dislodged a family of squirrels in our attic, thus saving our central air system from becoming squirrel chow, and they found and plugged the entry hole.

We would use them again, and can recommend them with reservation to anyone.

Charles

We've lived in our house for 42 years and Critter Control is one of the best companies we've ever had work for us.  They got the squirrels out of our house humanely and quickly.  Their people are prompt and courteous and they'll tell you, up front, exactly what the cost will be.  I can't recommend this company highly enough.

Ellen B

Critter Control was incredibly attentive and responsive to our problem and I would highly recommend them--they will be the first professionals we will call when we need help with any future "critter" problems!

I am so impressed with the professionalism, expertise, and personal attention we received for our squirrel problem.  Dan found the entrance point right away (we had missed it when we looked!), and within a few days the squirrels were gone.  He was so easy to work with, and I never had any worries that he would forget to send someone by to check the traps.  We had a very good experience, and I would recommend Critter Control without reservation.

I have used Critter Control three times over the past four years (squirrels and birds).  I had worked with other companies prior, but none compare to the reliable, courteous and high quality work that I can count on from Dan and his team.  

This year we had a record number of squirrels mistaking our house for a large inviting tree. Critter Control's knowledgeable people, especially Ben and Ralph, succeeded in excluding the squirrels from their many newly created entrances to our house and preventing news ones. They were completely reliable about daily checks, even in awful weather, and patiently took the time to discuss many aspects of the situation with us. We highly recommend their work.

Claire

It was truly not fun to find a possum in my garage. My personal efforts were not effective enough, so it was nice to get a few numbers to call from the police animal control. What mattered to me most was the immediate attention I got from Critter Control of Boston, and then the also immediate intervention, and the successful removal of the possum to a place that was better for him/her, and for my family.

Zoila

The technician was prompt and came when he said he would. Don't know yet how effective the treatment was, since it was only done three days ago; but it promises well.

J. Levine

It just occurred to me that I never followed through with my intention to let you know how much I appreciated your services. But I guess it's never too late for that sort of thing. I appreciated your acknowledging the warranty, your timely response and your expert services, thank you!
