Critter Control

🌼 Your garden is blooming, but you’re not the only one who’s noticed! As the weather warms up, wildlife activity increases, and some curious critters may start treating your yard like their personal buffet.

Depending on where you live, keep an eye out for these common garden intruders:

✔️ Raccoons
✔️ Gophers
✔️ Moles
✔️ Groundhogs
✔️ Squirrels

A thriving garden can attract more than just compliments! 🌱 From freshly planted bulbs to growing vegetables, wildlife like raccoons and squirrels may see your yard as an easy food source.

Once they find a reliable meal, they’re likely to keep coming back and may even move-in nearby.

How to Keep Animals Out of the Garden As spring arrives and we plant our gardens, critters appear as if on cue. They have no idea that they’re creating a nuisance. They’re just trying to find the sustenance they need to survive. Plants are a vital food source for many of the animal species that live around us, and our gardens are at...

This Memorial Day, we honor the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. We remember their dedication, their bravery, and the freedoms they helped protect.

Our Chicago team rolled up their sleeves and put their green thumbs to work in Schaumburg, IL! 🌿

In partnership with Keep America Beautiful, Schaumburg Park District, and SPD - Spring Valley Nature Center & Heritage Farm, the team planted 1,440 pollinator-friendly plants and refreshed mulch around the natural playground.

The group also cleaned up the outdoor interactive play area and removed garlic mustard, an invasive w**d that limits the growth of native plants.

Team members from our sister brands, OPC Pest Services and AAction Pest Control, joined the Chicago team to support the project.

We’re proud to help create cleaner, healthier environments for our communities and local wildlife.

Where do mice hide? 🐭 You might be surprised! These rodents can squeeze into the tiniest spaces, often hiding in attics, walls, crawl spaces, and even kitchens.

If you hear scratching in the walls or notice droppings in cupboards, chances are mice have moved in.

Do you know which critter caused this damage? 👀

If you guessed a mole, you’re correct! They can quickly tear up your yard, leaving raised tunnels, damaged plants, and mounds of soil behind. Even after moles leave, their tunnels can cause a problem. Other pests can inhabit their abandoned tunnels!

Don’t let these critters go unnoticed. Their impact can reach further than you might think. 🏡

🦇 It doesn’t take much space for a bat to make itself at home!

From torn gable vents to tiny cracks along your roofline, even the smallest opening can become an entry point. And once they’re in, those quiet spaces in your roof can quickly become the perfect place to roost.

Common spots to watch:
• Gable vents with damaged screens
• Eaves and soffits
• Dormers and chimneys
• Broken shingles
• Spaces behind gutters

A quick exterior check can go a long way in protecting your space. Learn more about what to watch for and how to help protect your home in our blog! 🏡

Bats in Roofs Your roof is a natural roosting spot for bats. To identify when bats have infested your roof and safely remove them, contact Critter Control today!
