Critter Control of Spokane recently assisted the Cathedral Of Our Lady of Lourdes with a pigeon problem. They had years worth of accumulated pigeon droppings, dead pigeons and nesting pigeons in their cathedral towers. The job required a bit of physical hazing with a grapeseed-based deterrent, to drive the live birds away. The existing hardware cloth that covered the entryways was repaired and the clean-up consisted of shoveling the feces and carcasses into bags, then carrying all of those bags down several flights of stairs into a truck to be taken to the waste station. In all, they removed 700 pounds of material. The techs were outfitted in full hazmat and full face respirators during the process, in order to protect themselves from inhaling fugal spores, which can cause respiratory diseases. The area was disinfected with a microbial spray to complete the task.

The Reverend Darrinn Connall said in a church newsletter, "The towers have been repaired, painted, and cleaned of hundreds of pounds of pigeon poop and the carcasses of dead birds. I am so pleased to see our towers from various locations throughout the city.  I want to express my deep gratitude to Dave Kelly, of Critter Control of Greater Spokane, for his expertise and assistance with these important projects. He is a parishioner of the Cathedral and so his work was done with an additional measure of care and devotion. Thanks to him, as well as his team of workers."

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.
