Critter Control

Kevin Clark was a Detroit area chimney technician in the 1980s, but he kept getting calls to remove animals. Apparently, he was the closest thing to an animal control company that customers could find. Sensing a hole in the market, and therefore a business opportunity, Kevin started "Clark's Critter Control." Over time, this business expanded from Detroit to become the nation's biggest animal control company. With franchises across the country, Critter Control (we've since dropped the "Clark's" at the beginning) has proudly helped people with a wide variety of animal-related concerns.

Some, like cockroaches, can be unhygienic to have around, and others, like yellow jackets, can inflict painful stings. We can safely and responsibly destroy an entire colony without harsh or dangerous chemicals.

A wall-vented, dirt crawl space under a home in the southeastern US is a poor design idea. Moisture from the earth and from outside your home enters your crawlspace and rises into your living areas. This rising air also contains dust, odors from animal droppings, mildew and even mold spores in some cases. This is a very unhealthy environment that may aggravate your family's allergies and cause other unpleasant symptoms. Critter Control of the Triangle will install high-quality "encapsulation" materials to seal off moisture from entering your crawl space.

Insect and pest encounters are common within homes and storage spaces. At some point in your life, you've likely discovered ants crawling around in your pantry, had spiders in the corners of the room or centipedes and millipedes throughout your wall spaces. These creatures travel fast and know how to move within small areas. If/when you run into a bug in your home, you can quickly do some research to find out its species and what threat it may pose. Crawlspaces, bathrooms, basements, attics or potted plant areas are a few places you can check around for unwanted pests.
