Wildlife Pests in Apache Junction
Along with the rest of the Phoenix East Valley area, the desert city of Apache Junction, AZ, is growing steadily. When construction takes over wildlife habitats, residents may spot raccoons, squirrels, and bats on their lawns. Looking for resources and trying to adapt to changing conditions, these pests will enter yards or even homes.
Hungry Raccoons
Once raccoons locate a food source, they tend to return frequently. As a result, pests that find open trash cans and outdoor pet food in Apache Junction yards may decide to den under decks or in attics and sheds. Since the animals can contaminate soil and water with raccoon roundworm eggs via their waste, an infestation is a health and safety issue.
Burrowing Squirrels
Rock squirrels in Arizona often live in burrows under structures like sheds or garages. Their digging may create tripping hazards and damage foundations or sidewalks. A squirrel can also destroy landscaping plants and gardens while searching for and storing food.
Bats and Rabies
Because of the state's warm weather, bats thrive in Apache Junction. These pests will roost in attics if other places, such as caves, are unavailable. Because the bat is a rabies vector in Arizona, homeowners shouldn't wait to seek help with indoor colonies. People and pets can contract this disease through the bites or scratches of an infected animal.
Other Wildlife in Apache Junction
Residents sometimes deal with predators, like coyotes and snakes. Fallen fruit, small prey, and garbage can draw a coyote near the house in search of a meal. Though they rarely bite people, these animals may hunt pets or livestock.
Snake encounters around Apache Junction homes can be dangerous as well. Able to squeeze through holes in fences and hide in tall grasses or under debris, the pests are hard to deter. Depending on the species, a snake bite could provoke serious medical problems.

Testimonials
Great natured guys and very thorough. Appreciate their attitude and service.
Michele and George delivered pre-eminent world class customer service! They gave a 24 hour notification with their arrival date and time, were prompt, knowledgeable, and easy to do Business with! They planned their work, and worked their plan.
Just when we thought that customer service was a dying art, they restored our confidence that Critter Control is passionate with their craft! I would highly recommend this Company, as they exceeded our expectations!
Sincerely,
Karen Doherty and Kris Kepler
Excellent communications, execution and friendly. I highly recommend this company!
The Critter Control team went above and beyond to make sure that NO CRITTERS could get into my home. We thought we had conquered the problem, but we still heard squirrels getting in, so they returned to reassess and finish the job. They actually pulled up our deck boards and found that the critters were getting in because of a rotted board underneat the cantilever. They replaced the insulation, rotted boards, and put a metal sheeting over everything so NO squirrels or critters could chew their way in! If you need critter control - you need to contact them. They stand behind their work 100%.... Thank you Rodney & Team!! Great Job.

We had a great experience working with the crew from Critter Control San Jose. They patiently listened to our observations, we came up with strategies and ended up fixing suspect areas, trapping a couple of rats. Problem seems to have been solved and hope we don't need to call them again
Brandon was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. He was able to figure out where our mystery smell was coming from, removed the carcass, and cleaned/deodorized the entire area. We are very pleased with the job performed and the professionalism shown. Highly recommend!
