I originally called for help with a carpenter ant issue but ended up going with the Spring package, which also covered spiders and bees. Our technician, Leon, was fantastic—very polite, knowledgeable, and easygoing. The customer service reps were also a pleasure to work with—friendly, helpful, and understanding. Overall, a great experience! We’ll definitely be signing up for the Spring package every year from now on.

I called Tuesday morning and received a scheduled appt for Friday of the same week. Not only did they act fast, Steve made sure to double check after the treatment if the hornets were gone. He even was able to remove the nest from the shed completely.

He called to ask if he could come earlier, which was a thrill to us and by the few hours after he left and to this day...no more bees!! thank you to everyone for your assist in this and for your help in getting it done. the gals in the office rocked!! An all around great company!

We get bee prevention and mosquito treatment every year from Critter Ridders, not sure exactly how many years, but definitely more than 5 years. We've only had to call them for 1 sneaky bees nest. But they came out, calmed me down (severely allergic to bees), and took care of it immediately! I love them, and will be continuing to use their service!

Love Critter Ridders! One of my favorite family run local businesses. They are always there when I need them. When I bought my house it had a mouse problem, they solved it. More recently I had a contractor leave a drop cloth on my porch. Wasps took up residence in it and I found out when I went to move it and got stung. When I called, Amy got me the soonest appointment possible, and Eric Hofsmmer saved the day getting rid of my wasp problem and spraying to keep them from creating a new home. Haven’t seen any wasps on my porch since!
