The people were wonderful. Explained everything, very efficient getting rid of bats. Did an excellent and neat job sealing up all entry places on roof. It was an expensive job but well worth it!!!

To most, having a bat flying around in your house in the middle of the night is not fun. It leaves you a bit nervous. Bats are protected here in Michigan. We have an old Sears house and Critter Control got out right away and did a fantastic job with a pretty complex repair, even managing to shape metal flashing around complex rafter tails while cutting around an adjacent rock veneer chimney. Every opening caulked, scoped, covered, guarded... whatever it needed, it got it. Now we wait for them to leave through the one-way valves they installed and then will finish up the job. Peace of mind has come quick. Bat removal is not cheap (or easy), but these guys are worth it and John-Mark did a great job today! He's talented, experienced and knows all you want to know about bats (and more!) And best of all, the wifey is happy!

We had Critter Control remove a family of raccoons from our home and take care of a small bat colony, and they were fantastic. Their team was professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and thorough throughout the entire process.
They explained everything clearly, answered our questions, and made a stressful situation much easier to handle. Highly recommend!

Shoutout to Critter Control for saving the day with a raccoon issue! Marcus was the absolute best; he went above and beyond setting up the traps and checking in every single day (even if that’s standard protocol, it felt like top-tier service). He went above and beyond and actually repaired the broken siding while doing the exclusion work since I already had the material and insulation on hand. Super helpful, polite, and efficient. Highly recommend!

We had one pesky skunk under our front porch that proved to be a tough catch. But Steven Stamper stayed with it and tried multiple baits and methods until he got it. Very appreciative of the expertise and customer focus Critter Control delivered. I would use them again… but hopefully not too soon. Lol

If you’re hearing scratching in your attic, noticing strange odors, or spotting damage around your home in Brighton, MI, you’re not alone.
Brighton’s proximity to forests, wetlands, and open fields makes it a hotspot for nuisance wildlife. Residents often encounter animals seeking shelter from Michigan’s cold winters or looking for food during the warmer months. Squirrels, raccoons, and bats are especially prevalent, taking advantage of attics, chimneys, and crawlspaces. Opossums, skunks, and digging animals like groundhogs and moles also pose challenges, damaging lawns and gardens or creating unpleasant odors. Critter Control addresses these issues with targeted, humane solutions tailored to the unique wildlife pressures of the Brighton area.
Common Wildlife Problems in Brighton, MI
Legal and safety considerations are crucial when dealing with wildlife in Ypsilanti. Michigan law protects certain species and regulates removal practices to ensure humane treatment and public safety. Critter Control’s licensed professionals follow all state and local regulations, using safe, legal, and humane methods to remove animals and repair damage, so you can rest assured your home and family are protected.
Squirrels are among the most common nuisance animals in the area, especially in neighborhoods near Riverside Park and Depot Town. They often enter attics through small roof gaps, chewing on wiring and insulation, which can lead to fire hazards and costly repairs. Critter Control uses humane exclusion devices and repairs entry points to keep squirrels out for good.
Raccoons are strong, clever, and often nest in chimneys, attics, or under decks. They can cause significant property damage and pose health risks through droppings and parasites. Our team safely traps and relocates raccoons, then repairs and secures your home to prevent future invasions.
Like most major cities with harsh winters, Ypsilanti has its share of rodent problems. Both rats and mice find shelter and food in residential areas and will build nests in homes to prepare for the long Michigan winters.
Bats commonly roost in attics and wall voids, especially in older homes near wooded areas. Because bats are protected, Critter Control uses exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but not return, followed by sealing all entry points and cleaning up hazardous guano.
Although bats can be a nuisance for home and business owners throughout the Michigan, they are protected by law and may not be harmed.
Opossums frequently take shelter under porches, decks, or in crawlspaces. While generally non-aggressive, they can create messes and attract other pests. We humanely trap and relocate opossums, then block off access points to prevent re-entry.
Nuisance birds like pigeons, starlings, and seagulls pose serious challenges for homeowners and business owners alike. Their droppings can damage roofs, gutters, and vehicles, while nests and debris often clog drains and vents, leading to costly repairs. Birds can spread bacteria and parasites that threaten health, and their constant noise and presence disrupt daily life.
For businesses, especially restaurants and warehouses, birds can contaminate food and products, creating both safety and regulatory concerns, while the unsightly accumulation of droppings and nesting materials can hurt property appearance and curb appeal.
Skunks are most active in early spring and late fall, often digging under sheds, decks, or foundations. Their digging damages lawns, and their spray is a persistent nuisance. We use humane traps and exclusion techniques to remove skunks and prevent future problems.
These animals dig extensive burrows in yards and gardens, undermining foundations and damaging landscaping. Critter Control identifies burrow systems, uses targeted trapping, and installs barriers to keep your yard critter-free.
Our Wildlife Removal Process
Whether you need us to remove a raccoon from your chimney, eliminate a rodent infestation or eliminate skunks from your backyard, all our Ann Arbor-based wildlife technicians are ready to help you protect your home or business.
STEP 1
Inspection & Identification
We inspect your property thoroughly to identify species, entry points, and nesting sites, ensuring accurate and humane removal plans.
Using safe, species-specific methods, our wildlife removal team humanely excludes or traps unwanted critters like squirrels, raccoons, rats, or opossums.
After animal removal, our wildlife exclusion services seal entry points using gnaw-resistant materials, preventing future infestations.
STEP 4
Sanitation and Restoration
The final step is to make your house safe. We clean up attic nesting sites, remove feces, apply sanitization agents, and treat for ectoparasites. In certain situations, we provide a full attic restoration. Replacing old, contaminated insulation with pest-resistant insulation provides a more efficient home and ongoing pest control.
