Contact Critter-Ridder
Tell us what you are seeing, hearing, or smelling and where it is happening. Those details help the team prepare for the right next step.

What the inspection considers
Share the property location, where the activity is occurring, when you notice it, and the animal if known. You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself.
Attic, wall, chimney, crawlspace, roofline, yard, or another area.
Sound, odor, droppings, damage, a visible animal, or recurring activity.
Morning, daytime, dusk, overnight, or at irregular times.
City or ZIP helps confirm service availability and scheduling.
The Critter-Ridder approach
The exact method depends on the species, property, season, accessible areas, and approved scope.
The team considers the property, activity, location, and service need.
Availability, access, scheduling, and any preparation are explained.
Keep relevant photos or recent observations available if they help.
Inspection request
Share the property location and the signs you have noticed so the team can understand the concern and prepare the appropriate next step.
Common questions
These answers provide general direction. The correct plan still depends on the property and current conditions.

Current published business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and availability should be confirmed directly. If a person or pet has been bitten, scratched, or may have had contact with a bat or potentially rabid animal, contact the appropriate medical, public-health, animal-control, or veterinary resource rather than waiting for a routine property appointment.
Wildlife service is normally coordinated at the affected property because the building conditions determine the recommendation. Call before visiting the listed address or delivering anything to it.
Response and appointment timing depend on business hours, current workload, property location, the type of wildlife concern, and the access or equipment required. Provide a working phone number, the complete property address, where the activity is occurring, and the best time to reach you.
Describe what you saw, heard, or smelled; where it happened; what time of day it occurs; and whether the animal has entered a living area. Include the property address, type of building, known access limitations, and any clear photos or video taken from a safe distance. You do not need to identify the animal yourself—the details simply help the team prepare the right questions and inspection.
Keep children and pets away from the affected area, avoid handling wildlife or droppings, and do not seal a suspected opening. If safe, clear normal access to the attic hatch, crawlspace door, electrical panel, or other relevant area and note any recent changes in sound or activity. Do not climb onto the roof or enter a contaminated confined space to collect evidence.
