Los Gatos is home to a variety of wildlife, and while these animals play an important role in the ecosystem, they can become a nuisance when they invade homes and businesses. Below are the most common wildlife issues residents face:
Raccoons are highly intelligent and resourceful creatures known for rummaging through garbage, damaging roofs, and nesting in attics. They can also carry diseases like rabies and raccoon roundworm. Our team uses safe trapping and exclusion methods to remove raccoons and prevent re-entry.
Squirrels can chew through electrical wiring, insulation, and wooden structures, creating fire hazards and costly repairs. They often nest in attics and chimneys. We provide comprehensive squirrel removal, including trapping and sealing entry points.
Skunks are notorious for their pungent spray, which can linger for weeks. They often burrow under decks and sheds, leading to structural instability. Our skunk removal services include humane trapping and exclusion techniques to keep them away permanently.
Bats are beneficial to the environment but pose serious health risks when they infest homes, spreading diseases such as histoplasmosis. Our specialists safely exclude bats using one-way doors and seal all entry points to prevent their return.
Rats and mice reproduce quickly and can cause extensive damage to insulation, wiring, and food storage areas. They also carry diseases such as hantavirus and salmonella. We implement rodent-proofing strategies to eliminate infestations and prevent future problems.
Common signs include scratching noises, droppings, chewed wires, foul odors, and visible nests in your attic, crawlspace, or walls.

john roberts2025-04-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We called Critter Control of San Jose after Brooks Pest Control failed to handle our rodent issue. Chris came out, inspected the house, perimeter, and attic. He correctly diagnosed the issue, and set the appropriate traps in the right locations. Within a day we had caught the rat. Chris returned and set additional traps to make sure the issue had been resolved. He then closed all potential entry holes ensuring future rodents would not be able to return. Chris and Critter Control did an amazing job and I would recommend them highly. Shiri Porat2024-08-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had a fantastic experience with Critter Control and especially with Steve. Steve was very professional and took the time to discuss the rodent problem we were facing and how we can solve it. He was very easy to communicate with, friendly, and always came on time and you could see that he really cared about helping us solve our problem. He is very experienced and explained rodent behavior really well. The rodents were trapped and we are happy being without them - thank you Steve! Katrina Smallwood2024-07-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly highly highly recommend! Michael and the team over there were completely knowledgeable, responsive, and more than helpful with our raccoon problem. While we would have loved for the raccoons to leave on their own we unfortunately needed them removed from our property. Based out of San Jose the team there works 7 days a week and we're able to respond weekends as well for trap removal. They were experts in the field and provided their knowledge and expertise to making our home and yard safe again for our young children to play in J.

Good service, on time, experts. Been using them for 20 years. Highly recommend this business. Rich Wales2021-05-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In spite of being pretty careful about sealing up possible entry points to my house, I heard a scratching sound from a wall in my kitchen a few weeks ago. These guys came out and quickly identified the problem and found the point of entry, as well as several other possible entry points around the perimeter of my house. They set traps and gave me an estimate for repair work, which I reviewed with them in detail and then approved. Work was completed efficiently on time and very professionally. I don't envy these guys their jobs - they work in some pretty nasty conditions. But they were knowledgeable, responsible, very professional, and seemed to genuinely enjoy solving my problem. I trust that they could deal with almost any residential pest problem. Their objective is to seal up your property so nothing can get in as opposed to coming to your house to spray it with poison every month. So far so good! Kelley Wolf2021-03-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company is very well organized and thorough. You are assigned one person and that person does all the inspection and follow up. Steve was very professional and courteous. The inspection was thorough and they sealed our home from rodents. It's not inexpensive but we paid half as much a few years ago to have the house rat proofed and it didn't work so we felt the investment was worth it. I found many good reviews for them online and through Nextdoor before hiring them. Steve also built custom doors for our crawlspaces which look great. Nice guys and easy to have around. I appreciated their hard work and professionalism.Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 105 reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
