Catch a Critter

Had an amazing experience with this company. Suddenly a week ago starting smelling something really foul in the house like rotting garbage and it took about a week for me to finally locate where it was coming from: the guest room. I had a friend spend an hour with me sniffing to try to locate the odor which I was convinced by that point was something dead, probably in the attic.
I called Catch-​A-​Critter and Daniel came to service the call. What happened after that looked almost like magic to me. He sniffed and sniffed and actually pointed up into the ceiling where he thought the smell was coming from. I mean this as a compliment but he was like a beagle and he found the source of the odor in the attic exactly where he thought it might be coming from. It was a dead female mouse and dead babies. He also show me where they were probably coming into the house as well as how they were traveling through the insulation in the attic. He baited the attic and will be coming back to seal up the places where he believes they were coming into the house.
I highly recommend this company and Daniel.

Before animal lovers throw stones at me for using a pest control service, let me say that I’m a vegan, I volunteer at an animal shelter, and I feed the wildlife in my backyard. But… I don’t want any of creatures that belong outside getting inside.
A few days ago I heard what sounded like cooing and scratching coming from my wood burning fireplace. It scared the bejesus out of me. I don’t have doors on my fireplace so I fully expected whatever animal was in my chimney to crawl down and graze from my cats’ bowls at some point. I gave the animal or animals a couple days to see if they’d just come inside temporarily because of a recent cold snap, but as the days passed and the noises got louder, I decided I needed to do something. (mainly for the sake of my pets, honestly)
I called Catch a Critter (after watching their nicely produced ad on YouTube) and left a message. Within a few hours Daniel called me back and set up an afternoon appointment to come look at my problem. He and his coworker located a mother raccoon and two babies in my chimney. They were able to flush them out, put them in a cage, and whisk them off to be relocated. (I hope that’s really the case, but if not, I’m still going to pretend that it is) They also installed a chimney cap to prevent other animals in my neighborhood from using my chimney as a place to raise their young.
It wasn’t cheap, but it’s not like I could have done this myself. In under an hour this problem was taken care of and my chimney was fixed. For peace of mind, I think it’s worth every penny.
If you ever find yourself in this awkward situation and need help getting animals out, I’d highly recommend Catch a Critter.
