Awesome job, thank you!
Mike S.
We had rats in the garage and in our walls. The first job was to set traps and to seal up the possible entrypoints into the house, and we caught some rats, but some remained -- for weeks and weeks. Eventually they caught the last one and realized that they'd been getting water by chewing into some water jugs we had stored in the garage. I really appreciate that they kept coming back and working to fix things until the rats were gone. Long, tedious, and thorough work. Thank you.

Steve showed up right on time for both appointments. He looked over our house and found it to be well sealed, but showed me very convincing evidence that we had raccoons on our roof - this was the source of the sounds we heard. He put some traps in our attic just to be sure, and they were undisturbed. Very happy with the service.

Robert from Critter control-did a great job to understand/resolve the frequent noise at night, on the roof. He started by setting up traps in the attic and checking on them. In addition, he identified the possibility of entry points, and recommended the repair options. Robert came back and professionally screened the entry points we agreed on. I am pleased with the work delivered, and I highly recommend critter control and their staff.

Dean S.
Steve is the man. He has done the best job possible trying to resolve my townhouse's rat problem. I had caught my own rats for the past 7 years until I had enough, so I called Steve at Critter Control. He has completely sealed up my building's rooftop so that no more rodents can get in to the attic. He has been working on my townhouse roof for almost two years now... recently rats have chewed through some vents above my garage, but hopefully the reinforced vents are completely secured now thanks to Steve. I am extremely happy with Steve's hard work and diligence. Dean

Jim sure knows his rodents. Thank you for a clear evaluation.
Steve W.
A clan of really destructive squirrels recently moved onto my property here in Los Gatos near an open green space. Critter Control quickly took charge, placing and setting the appropriate traps. They captured not only the uninvited squirrel clan but also a number of ground rats and, at least for now, efficiently eliminated the critter problems. They also repaired and covered suspicious areas that could possibly be trouble spots allowing entry for future damage.
Roger K.
one day to set the trap, another to pick it up and the two pups. Thank you for getting rid of my Raccoon problem.

Thank you for the excellent help.

Jim took utmost care in treating our house for rodents- making sure they were captured, sealing the crawlspace area, and making sure they did not return. He really did take care of our house well and was very communicative about the whole process. He's a real gem and I appreciate his expertise in this field. He made me feel comfortable with each step of the process. Today was the trap check and it all came out clear. No more rodents in the crawlspace-- What a big relief! And peace of mind. Thank you Jim for your expertise! I'll be referring Critter Control and in particular, Jim, to all my family and friends.
Bruce D.
Chris and Mike are first-rate pro's.
Beverly N.
Thanks for being very responsive and good to work with. You guys are always able to get here within a reasonable amount of time to retrieve the animals & re-bait the traps.
Elaine D.
A few days ago I saw a rat run from our house to the fence and assumed that the stinkers were back. Two years ago Critter Control removed several rats from under the house and sealed all openings, preventing further intrusions. The work was thorough and I was surprised to see another rat. This week Chris came, inspected and found only one tiny, possible entry point. He ensured there were no rats under the house and sealed it up. Because the repair was so minor and he found no signs of rats under the house, he did not charge us. I would recommend Critter Control without hesitation. Their work is professional, courteous, and fair. Got critters? Call them.
Marie M.
Very knowledgeable worker. Very efficient and friendly.

He is able to walk me through the process of catching rodents and treating the home so rodents don't return. If I have any questions, he is very patient in answering them all. It's very apparent he takes pride in his work. I'm very happy that Jim was our technician.

Critter Control did a fantastic job! Every person I dealt with from start to finish was professional, personable and prompt. Every visit was confirmed ahead of time, and, in the one instant where a technician was running a tiny bit late, I received a phone call to let me know of the delay. I would not hesitate to contact them again if I ever have anther rodent problem and I am recommending them to family and friends.

Khoa and Amber were thorough, friendly, and on time. Can't thank both of them enough for helping to take care of my rodent problem. Would highly recommend them!

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 don't 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 couldn't 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.

In a time when customer service seems nonexistent Steve was always on time, professional, friendly, and conscientious. He was thorough and successful. I feel very confident recommending Steve and Critter Control.
Mary Teh
Steve did a great job helping out getting rid of rats in the crawl space. He is always on time, polite, friendly and effective. He knows what he is doing and is very honest to us. I highly recommend him!
Carol Uyeno
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.
Joellen Ryan
They were very helpful. Can be alittle expensive but worth it
Thomas Day
Critter Control is an awesome company and they do the hard work that the other big names Pest Control companies won't 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
Howard Ting
Steve was terrific and extremely knowledgeable, professional and generous with his time to explain everything. They've taken care of our rodent problems multiple times and I would highly recommend the.
Kelley Wolf
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. It's not inexpensive but we paid half as much a few years ago to have the house rat proofed and it didn't 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.
Alison C
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.

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. We've 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!
Latinlil Baker
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 don't know what to look for. We were fortunate too that they were able to do the repairs during the inspection. We're so relieved and they gave us info about maintenance and what to watch for so we're 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 didn't 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 didn't 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 they're head and shoulders above the other highly rated company we tried, so call them now while you can still get on their calendar!!
Steven Schoch
I'm 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.
Dean Bell
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.
Gordon Elder
Critter control did a good through job of analyzing my house and finding access points. Trapped well; got all rodents in first placement, none later. Steve was great guy, informative and did good work. Thanks!
Greg Custodio
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.
Carla Olivet
We've 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, we've had a bit of a rodent issue that Steve has always helped out with. Can't 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
Randi Sokoloff
David and Andrew were on time and on task! They provided me with the right amount of information regarding our rodent issue and kept me updated on their progress. On top of that they were always courteous and professional.
Michael Schmitz
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.
Sherrie Stone
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!
Jerry Smith
Excellent service and quality work. They were always on time for the appointments and were very professional.

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.
Mihir Bhagat
We wanted to hire Critter Control of San Jose but couldn't because unfortunately they don't cover our area. But with no incentive, Chris was still super helpful in explaining how the whole process worked and giving us unbiased advice. Highly recommend hiring them if you want people who care.
Larry Smith
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.
Gabriela Armenta
Maureen Farrell
The Critter Control Team was very responsive, professional, and provided me regular updates. Highly recommend this team!! All my critters are gone!
Bonnie Sutphin
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 that's only because I don't want any more critters over or under my house!
Joshua Frantz
The work was top notch. Communication was amazing. Highly recommended.
Jay Jennings
For the initial inspection and follow-up appointments to check traps and repair access points around the foundation and roofline, Steve was on time, efficient and thorough. Highly recommended.

Robert Lloyd
Steve is great to work with. He knows what he's doing, he's courteous and considerate, he was always right on time, and he's personable and friendly--a joy to interact with despite the nature of the business at hand, which he explained clearly and took care of professionally.
Steve Hope
Technician was thorough and professional. Arrived on time and quickly performed the agreed upon work. Very friendly and customer service oriented.
Jeff B
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.
Rabia Adil
Friendly and very thorough with their work.
Kathy Lee
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!
Roman Shaposhnik
Critter Control was top notch in helping me deal with a dead animal problem: responsive and very professional! Highly recommended!
Greg Olsen
The Critter Control team quickly resolved my squirrel issue at a fraction of the cost others were seeking.
Yoshi Takebuchi
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.
Gary Embler
Steve has inspected and sealed our house through three remodeling projects. Each time he has thoroughly sealed our house from squirrels and rats. Highly recommended.
Mark Rose
Super helpful service. They were very professional and help us deal with some unwanted house guests. They are very humane and know the area and also knew the animals really well. I would totally use them again and I highly recommend!
Paul Rosati
My mom's 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 don't 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.
Bianca Tamburrino
Chad is calm, down-to-earth and knows what he's doing. We had dual rat and squirrel problems and he managed to talk us through everything and set up traps that solved the problem. I hope we don't need to call him again, but it's good he is there if we need to!
Hien Nguyen
David was always on time or early. He was very knowledgable, respectful and professional at all times. He was very helpful in explaining the entire process and also gave recommendations when needed. I highly recommend David and Critter Control of San Jose!
Duy Nguyen
Great bunch of guys. Caught a family of racoons under my house. Fixed the vents. Haven't seen any critters since.
Robert Knourek
Great Company. We've had 2 guys out both were very careful and effective. No nonsense. I'd use them again.
Mark Kelsey
Critter Control provides fantastic service. Every visit was on time as scheduled. All of the team are friendly, professional and very capable. Our critter problem is solved. Definitely recommend Critter Control for any critter issues!
Allyson Schaeffer
David provided really great service for a rodent problem we had. He was also kind enough to review the estimate and help us determine which items were crucial and priority in order to build a plan that worked with our budget. He was courteous, professional, and punctual. Thanks, David!

Steve has been helping us keep critters out of our house for years. We have a challenging set up with oak trees and a Spanish style roof and he always figures out how to keep the critter out.

Excellent service from Steven for a rodent - surveyed the whole property and went into crawl space to lay traps...followed ups few weeks later. Everything he told us played out as expected - would recommend to anyone with an issue. Its not the cheapest but definitely thorough and excellent service
Joan Laird
Luis was very thorough with his inspection. Arrived promptly, explained things well and followed up to complete the job. I highly recommend Luis and the entire Critter Control Company!
James Fan
Very efficient rats control jobs. Robert is very professional to help us to get rid of our roof rats and also did great job to seal all roof gaps. Highly recommend.
Doug Ikegami
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. Haven't had any rodent activity since, so fingers crossed it stays this way. Thanks Critter Control
Samuel Varghese
Robert was thorough and accurate with all his recommendations. He came back twice to make sure there were no more rats and based on his work and recommendations they were all gone. Great job Rob.
Leilani Ahern
Critter Control of San Jose was amazing from start to finish! Our critter expert, Jake, was super friendly, very professional and so helpful. Our problem took several visits to resolve but Critter Control stayed on til the job was done. I would recommend these guys hands-down to anyone who has an animal problem and wants a competent, expedient and highly-professional company to handle it!
Michael Farnia
Had squirrels living in my attic for over 3 months. Original company hired was an absolute disaster. After which I was referred to Critter Control of San Jose. From the very phone call I experienced absolute professionalism, honesty and extremely informative. Not to mention dependable and pleasant! Robert is amazing. He really knows his stuff. I now have vast knowledge on squirrels thanks to him. Last but not least as an animal lover his compassion is was very comforting.
Vijay Sarathy
David's professional and prompt service was much appreciated. He was always on time and very clearly explained what could be going on and what he was planning to do. After setting up traps in the attic and crawl space, he helped get rid a rat. He also did a good job inspecting the entry points around the house and helped seal them off.
Chris Tucher
Our service person was Robert and he came to the house three times, incl. several high-quality repairs to rodent-proof the house. He was pleasant and thorough. Thank you.
Robert Foglesong
Critter Control eliminated the rats that got into our crawl spaces. David was always on time, always willing to explain his work, terminated the rats, and sealed off possible rat entries. His work was excellent.
Cristin Grothaus
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.
Tracy Sienknecht
Steve took a scary situation with wood rats in the attic by describing how they got in; how to remove that entry; and placed several traps to get rid of the critters. Their screeching and scratching was terrible! Steve left traps and came back twice to check them out. Nice to have a quiet house again.
Dan Gardner
They did a great job getting rid of the rats and mice we were having trouble with, both at my house and at a client's house - I work in property management. Sealed up the house well and haven't had a problem since. Very knowledgeable and professional. Much, much better than my experience with Orkin.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Robert. He took care of our home and my elderly neighbor's home for rodent issues. His work was superb and his professional customer service was exceptional. He explained everything in detail plus he continued to be quick and efficient at all visits. He's now referred to as "our guy" when we ever have a problem. Thanks Robert and Critter Control. We feel confident that our problem has been finished and we feel safe once again.
Sawsan B Ghanem
Critter Control -Robert- is very professional and he took his time to identify the entry points and close all of them. In addition he installed traps in all in all the levels. He came back multiple time to check the traps and to make sure the job is completed. Robert was easy to work with, he came on time and he finished the job as agreed up. I highly recommend Critter control.
Patricia Hancock
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.
Teri Rodgers
Critter Control gets a big thumbs up from me. They are responsive, informative, effective, and really nice guys. I highly recommend them!
sofjan goenawan
Robert Furtado is an excellent Wildlife Control Technician. He explained to us very clearly about the work natures, and responsibly completed the jobs. Our rodent problems in the house is now resolved. Before closing the work orders, Robert gave us suggestions and recommendations how to prevent future rodents and pests issue. We highly recommend Robert for your wildlife control issues.

KiYoung Nam
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 haven't had any rat problem.
