Bat Roosts in Rio Rancho and Bat Removal

Though most bats seek shelter in tree hollows or caves, sometimes the pests prefer to live around humans. In Rio Rancho neighborhoods, attics provide a place to rest during the day. Droppings can build up over time, spreading disease and attracting more bats with their odor.

Squirrels around the Home

In Rio Rancho, rock squirrels burrow through yards, creating tripping hazards. This pest may dig up bulbs in flowerbeds and eat garden crops. On the other hand, a fox squirrel uses its sharp claws and jumping abilities to access roofs and enter attics. From here, the rodents can cause further damage.

Wild Raccoon Removal

Curious and bold, raccoons frequent New Mexico suburbs in search of a meal. These animals may tip trash cans, come onto porches, and approach residents. If a raccoon feels cornered or threatened, it may lunge at or even bite people and pets.

More Pests in New Mexico

Rio Rancho is also home to pigeons and venomous snakes. Homeowners may discover a snake living in yard debris or hiding in the garage or basement. Pigeon problems may plague locals as well. These birds look for dropped food and garbage to eat.

Tom came out and removed a family of racoons from an attic in one of our rental properties. He was timely, communicated promptly and also had solutions to present. I'd recommend Critter Control.

Critter Control was very easy to work with. They came right out and identified the problem of a raccoon in my attic. They told me the plan to take care of the problem and explain everything to me. Very friendly and professional.

They did what they said they would do. Price was fair and their service was outstanding. I couldn’t have been happier with the technicians they sent out or the people I spoke to over the phone. Quality people all around and a company that stands behind their word.

They have saved me from both raccoons and squirrels. Very convenient and easy to work with. I hope I don't have to call them again (because I hope I never have another wild animal problem again). However, if I do, I can rest easy knowing where to find professionals who know their stuff.

Critter Control performed a very thorough examination of our house and identified animal entry points and the type of critters that frequent our home. They fully explained the remediation plan for our home including scheduled follow up visits. We feel comfortable that this company will eliminate our critter problem once and for all.
