We suspected a homeowner in Chesapeake might have a fox on her property. She found dead mice, moles, and rabbits in your yard. Foxes are nocturnal creatures. These foxes made their den under a deck of a home in Chesapeake. Catching a fox can be tricky because a fox's territory could be up to 2 or 3 square miles. We set up a wildlife game camera to confirm a fox was in her yard. We found three foxes under the shed!

Even though foxes do not live trap well, our Critter Control of Virginia Beach technicians were successful in removing them. After the fox removal, we dug a trench a foot deep and secured a metal mesh in the ground and to the deck to stop this from happening in the future.

Although the hunting and trapping of foxes is often regulated by state or local law, Critter Control technicians are certified wildlife specialists with the knowledge and tools to get rid of your fox problem safely and properly. We practice humane fox removal techniques that ensure a safe and effective solution to your fox issue. In addition to knowing how to identify foxes and prevent future fox damage, our professional technicians are trained in fox trapping, fox removal, and fox control.

To keep foxes out of the yard, residents must remove anything that might attract the pests. This includes keeping cats indoors at night, closely supervising small dogs at all times, sealing crawlspaces under porches and decks, adequately protecting livestock, and never leaving food out for other animals to eat.

Our current technician is very good. He always calls us the day before so we know when he is coming. He also has done a very good job keeping pocket gophers in check.

Mike did our service today. He was awesome! He addressed and resolved a couple of critter issues we were having. It's really helpful to be reminded when he was coming and texted me when he was on his way. Thank you for the great service!

We appreciate that your company was able to rid our property of the squirrel activity that we observed. We were concerned that the squirrels would dig under the foundation of our house (which had happened to a neighbor in our area).

Thank you for doing what you said you would do to eliminate this squirrel activity.

We personally have a bad infestation for a while, Critter Control has been stellar in the customer service/ communication department, We are still working on the infestation but CC has been absolutely above and beyond our expectations with some of our projects hurdles.

It has been very effective at reducing the number of mice, lizard, and snake sightings. During one visit Edgar removed a rattlesnake he came across. We may see a snake maybe two to three times during the spring and summer months, but it has been far less than before.

Melinda is a true professional. She has helped us maintain a "critter-free" home. Whenever a mole decides to visit our property, she is right on top of it. Her recommendations about mosquito control made a big difference for my boys to be able to enjoy our backyard.

We use Critter Control to deter snakes. We haven't seen any since using the monthly service. They are quick to answer questions and explain snake behavior. Also, if any are found they remove them with no extra charge.

Have been using for almost 10 years after a record rat invasion. The help I had back then was like a super-helpful friend taking a few weeks to rid me of that invasion. Over the years I have had a few other representatives. They are always nice and helpful.

On recommendations from a nearby pest control company, I called Critter Control for suspicious bat droppings.

Madison came out the same day to do an inspection. She was knowledgeable, thorough, and highly professional. She examined the ‘matter’ that had been scattered on my threshold and thought it was foliage. But she then asked to go up to my attic space where the bats could be roosting. She had to walk up 3 flights of stairs with a heavy ladder. She again spent some time searching all the nooks and crannies and found nothing.

She seemed so interested in her craft, it was truly inspiring to see! She reassured me and is writing up a prevention strategy for my appraisal. She charged me NOTHING!! I am so impressed. We need more Madisons in this world!

Daniel did a great job pigeon proofing. We have a huge pigeon problem in our neighborhood and the pigeons were roosting in the gutters of my house and my two next door neighbors, who also had nests in their gutters and under their air conditioner. Pigeon poop filled our gutters, and was piled on the outside floor when I bought the house. Since Daniel's pigeon proofing, and my neighbors also pigeon proofing their gutters, fireplace chimney, air conditioners, and removal of nest, I rarely see pigeons any more. Only the lovely native sparrows, robins, vermillion fly catchers, and mourning doves visit our property now.
