Wildlife Control & Removal

Wildlife Problems in Newport, Beach, CA

As a coastal city, Newport Beach, CA, enjoys warm weather year-round. Temperatures rarely dip below freezing. With such an inviting climate and thriving population of people, it's no wonder wildlife pests find the area attractive.

Living with Raccoons

Newport Beach has everything raccoons need to thrive, from water access to abundant shelter. Since they can transmit rabies, these animals put residents of the city in danger when they den near homes. On top of spreading disease, a raccoon may create a nuisance by ripping away siding to den under the house or knocking over trash cans.

Bats Indoors

While bats also transmit rabies throughout California, the pests' presence alone can cause problems. Colonies that move into attics often leave and return during the night to hunt insects, creating rustling noises that disturb residents' sleep. Bat droppings build up quickly, smell foul, and can encourage disease-causing mold to grow.

Squirrels in the Attic

Like raccoons and bats, squirrels see Newport Beach attics as ideal spots to nest. They'll rip window screens and chew on shingles to gain access. A squirrel may carry ticks, mites, and fleas into the house or damage property with their waste and constant chewing, so an indoor infestation poses an issue for homeowners.

Additional California Pests

Newport Beach residents may deal with disturbances on their lawns from opossums and coyotes. An opossum will forage for food in garbage bins or gardens, making messes that attract other pests. Although the animals would rather hiss or play dead when threatened, they will use their teeth and claws in self-defense.

Coyotes create a safety hazard simply by hanging around. Their opportunistic hunting may lead to attacks on pets in yards. Small dogs, cats, and poultry are at risk when there is a coyote in the area. These predators may even approach people when they become used to humans, resulting in dangerous encounters.

Full service. Excellent job of extracting raccoon, cleaning all animal waste, sanitizing, and spraying anti-parasitic substance. They closed all potential ports of entry, though the work did not match the vinyl, and it looks kind of tacky. They added blown insulation, which added a lot to the cost. They provide a one year warranty against animal intrusion, with an option to extend the warranty at the end of each one- year period. They were willing to work with me one the price. I will probably extend my warranty, and will definitely use them it the future.

I was really impressed by these guys. Got a call within a few hours of making an inquiry. Had a rep out to inspect the situation by the end of the week, and when they laid out the timeline they kept if not exceeded listed times.

Rob, Travis, and Jim were all professional, polite, and courteous and after months of hearing squirrels in my ceiling they are gone and the repair to my flashing looks excellent. Can't recommend these guys enough.

Critter Control did a great job of evaluating our house for sites of entry after we found bats and a squirrel in our attic. They completed their work promptly and professionally.

We heard some noise from the corner of our house. Concerned that it could be inside we called for an inspection. Jessy arrived as scheduled and conducted a complete inspection of our home. Based on a recording we made he determined we had a tree frog on our roof. I was pleased that we didn’t have any rodent in our house. And his inspection could a few spots I can tighten up around my house. I am very happy with the outcome.

We have a vacation home in Western Mass and haven’t been there much during the pandemic as we live and work in Atlanta, GA. On our most recent visit we noticed that we had some rodent intrusion as well as some un-welcomed wildlife who decided to make our vacation home their home.

We contacted Critter Control and Mr. Cahoon was quick to set up an appointment as we wouldn’t be in town very long. He came out and assessed our issues. He informed us of our options to both eradicate and control future intrusions. Keeping in mind that wildlife is wildlife! He quickly got to work eradicating the rodents and wildlife from our home and addressing the intrusion issues. We feel much better leaving our vacation home for periods at a time knowing that Mr. Cahoon and Critter Control did their job and did it right! Thanks again!

We bought an old cabin last spring , it was used for years as a summer vacation cabin, therefore maintenance wasn’t a priority. After our project to remodel started, we found evidence of mice droppings.

We immediately called Critter Control and they came and gave us a reasonable estimate to remove all remnants and insulation. They sanitized and replaced with new insulation and sealing up points of entry .

Seeing their professional work made us feel confident and secure that the problem was solved ! Everyone we worked with continued to show professional and respectful work. Highly recommend this company! We continue to use critter control monthly to be sure we are mice and bug free!
