Common Wildlife Pests in Riverside
Raccoons Indoors
In urban areas like Riverside, CA, raccoons are a common nuisance. The animals rummage through garbage cans for meals, tipping them over and littering trash across the lawn. These pests may also damage roofs, siding, or vents while trying to enter homes. Chimneys, attics, and crawl spaces are common sites for a raccoon den.
Dangers of Squirrel Infestations
Homes in California are also at risk for squirrel damage. Like other rodents, these animals may enlarge any small holes in walls or roofs to squeeze through. Indoors, squirrels continue to harm property by nesting in insulation, ruining belongings with their waste, and gnawing on wood.
Maternity Bat Roosts
Female bats looking for safe, warm places to raise their young often turn to the attics of Riverside homes. Over time, accumulated bat feces in houses results in foul odors and may allow Histoplasma mold to grow. If inhaled, the spores of this fungus can lead to a deadly respiratory disease in humans.
Rodents
Riverside, CA, residents often find rats and mice in their homes. These pests both regularly chew through electrical wires, make holes in walls bigger, urinate and defecate around homes, and reproduce rapidly so that infestations easily get out of hand. Rodents also spread several diseases, including Hantavirus and salmonellosis.
Skunks
Skunks are common in the Riverside area, as well. They dig up lawns, nest beneath houses, and use their infamous foul-smelling spray to ward off threats. Finally, ground squirrels den on private properties, which can lead to injury or the damage of lawn care equipment.

Testimonials
Great people to work with!
John with CC has helped us twice in the last six years - first with a minor mouse problem, and then in troubleshooting a mystery animal that was raising a ruckus on the roof. In each case he was friendly, professional, and offered excellent guidance on the practical solutions. Highly recommend him, and this company.
Squirrels chewed siding of chimney. CC tech came out to assess situation. Fortunately animals not in attack. CC repair team came out and repaired damage and did a fine job. Very pleased with the business, their work and customer service.
Cannot say enough wonderful things about this company and Joe especially. We recently found a bat in our basement…SCARY! Called and asked for help, Joe came out at 8pm and was able to search the house, capture the bat safely and removed it from our home. His customer service was priceless to me and I highly recommend this company to everyone. Post visit he even sent a team to further assess our property and provide a quote for future needs.
They helped get rid of bats at our house and were friendly and easy to work with, highly recommend
We appreciated the quick response and the careful service by David Gleason. He explained each step of the process. He also returned to reset traps that had been sprung. He was professional and friendly. We highly recommend Critter Control.
Bryan was great. On time, professional, friendly. Most importantly, honest. No lies, no fear tactics, no gimmicks. Assessed the issue and was honest about the lack of work that actually needed to be done/was recommended, knowing that other places had dramatized and given several thousand dollar (4k+) estimates on a job that costs a couple hundred dollars. Can't recommend enough. Will be using for any future issues.
I’ve been using them for several years now. They are great!
Removed bats from our house and sealed up other areas of concern. Very responsive, explained things throughly to us, and did the work in a very timely manner. Much better than their two competitors that we also called. I would highly recommend them.
We have been having issues in our yard, and recently discovered large holes. Called this team, they immediately came out and determined the holes were partially exposed mole tunnels. They took care of the tunnels (as best they could), and trapped and caught a mole for removal. They were responsive, knowledgeable, and thorough. While I hope it is not needed - we would certainly reach out to them again should a need arise!
