Prevention Services

Critter Control is the nation’s leading full service animal control organization. Our certified team of wildlife management experts and animal control officers are expertly trained in animal removal and animal damage control. The bottom line is we not only remove nuisance wildlife animals, we prevent them from returning through the use of efficient animal control prevention techniques. Critter Control will find every point of entry for unwanted animals, from raccoons in the attic to mice in the walls. Rats in ceilings or crawl space, bats in homes, mice in the attic and skunks under houses all get there because they’ve found a way in, and it’s our job to fix that. We implement our prevention strategies to ensure the elimination of recurrent wildlife invasions. We screen vents, install chimney caps and close entry holes, among other methods.

Critter Control makes use of several methods of habitat modification and exclusion techniques to effectively prevent future wildlife problems from arising. Habitat modification entails limiting access to food, water or shelter for the target species. Exclusion techniques may include sealing entry points, placing screens over vents or establishing other barriers to intrusion from the target species.
