Critter Control of Gainesville
Critter Control of Gainesville is a wildlife and pest control company at 113 SE 16th Ave in Gainesville, Florida, and it is a locally owned and operated franchise of Critter Control, Inc. The company handles animal removal for homes and for businesses across Gainesville and surrounding communities, and it is licensed and insured for that work. The animals it takes on cover the range a Florida property owner tends to meet: rodents like mice, squirrels, flying squirrels, and rats that have chewed their way inside, snakes that slipped into a pool or garage, raccoons and opossums, armadillos and moles digging under a home, plus bats, birds, foxes, and bees. Its approach is built around humane animal control and environmentally responsible technique, and the staff includes wildlife biologists and certified wildlife specialists who understand animal habitats and behavior rather than simply trapping whatever turns up. Removal is only the first half of the job. The company also cleans up what a critter leaves behind, removing germ-ridden feces, repairing structural damage, and replacing attic insulation, then applies exclusion methods so the infestation does not repeat. Damage repair covers attics, sheds, crawl spaces, walls, yards, soffit and fascia, decks, and garages, and prevention work means inspecting ceilings, crawl space, attic, and the space under the home to find every point of entry before sealing entrances, screening open vents, and adding barriers. Alongside wildlife work the company runs Eco-Wise pest control for insects such as carpenter ants and fruit flies, treating homes without endangering family and pets, and it offers dead animal odor and carcass removal, animal droppings cleanup, and commercial wildlife management for business premises. Because a critter problem is stressful, the company sends a technician out to perform a home inspection at no cost, and its repairs and services are guaranteed for one full year.

FAQs
What animals do you remove?
The company handles the nuisance wildlife common to Gainesville properties: squirrels, flying squirrels, rats, roof rats, mice, raccoons, opossums, armadillos, snakes, bats, birds, pigeons, foxes, bees, moles, and gophers. If you are unsure whether your particular problem is covered, call 352-372-3922 and the office will talk it through with you.
Does an inspection cost anything?
No. The company sends one of its expert technicians out to perform a home inspection for no cost, and it offers a fast, free estimate. Call 352-372-3922 or fill out the online form to arrange one.
What is covered by your service guarantee?
Repairs and services are guaranteed for one full year. If a critter gains access through any of the repairs made to your home or workplace during the calendar year following the service, you can call and the crew returns to fix the issue free of charge.
What happens after the guarantee year ends?
Each year the company comes back and re-inspects the home, doing a full inspection and checking for damage and possible vulnerable areas. If everything looks good and secure, it may be able to offer another guaranteed year for a small fee. Details on that offer are given at the time of your animal control service.
Do you clean up the mess an animal leaves behind?
Yes. Alongside removal the crew cleans up after the mess a critter has left, which includes removing germ-ridden feces, repairing structural damage, and replacing attic insulation. Animal droppings cleanup is offered for both residential and commercial properties, and dead animal odor and carcass removal is available as well.
How do you stop the animals from coming back?
Prevention work starts with finding every point of entry, so the crew checks ceilings, crawl space, attic, and even under the home. The entrances are then sealed, screens go over open vents, and other barriers are added. That exclusion step is what keeps the same problem from returning.
Do you work with businesses as well as homes?
Yes. The company is licensed to remove animals from businesses, and it runs a commercial wildlife management service that removes unwanted wildlife and then eliminates whatever was encouraging the animals to be there. For a free consultation, call 352-372-3922.
Do you handle insects too, or only wildlife?
Both. Eco-Wise pest control covers intruding insects such as carpenter ants and fruit flies, and it is carried out without endangering your family and pets. A specialist inspects the property, finds the root of the problem, then reviews treatment options for current and future infestations.
