Mr. and Mrs. Robert Renteria,
Lake Arrowhead, Ca.
What animals do you handle?
We handle almost every nuisance critter you can imagine including, but not limited to: raccoons, opossums, skunks, rats, field mice, gophers, ground squirrels, bats and pigeons. Yes, we even handle some stinging insects such as bees and wasps. If in doubt, give us a call and we can happily answer your questions.
Can my regular pest control company take care of raccoons and other wildlife?
Most likely not. Most pest control companies do not posses the proper licenses to trap wildlife or the know how. Most pest control companies spray pesticides around a yard or house to control insects. There are no registered or effective pesticides used for wildlife control with the exception of rodents. Wildlife control is entirely different than insect control because wildlife can't be sprayed with a magic purple dust. For this, you need a professional trapper.
When I hear coyotes yipping and howling at night does that mean they made a kill?
No, coyotes don't yip or howl when they make a kill. They are communicating with rival packs to mark their territory or they are trying to bond the pack before a hunt begins.
What areas do you serve?
All of Southern California. We go as far North as Santa Barbara County.
Are you licensed?
Yes, we are licensed by the Department of Fish and Game and also by the Department of Pesticide Regulation. Each individual employee at Critter Busters is a state certified pesticide applicator and posses a trapping license. Our associate's are extensively trained in pest identification, damage recognition, management methods, and safety. They also undergo state approved re-education to keep up with the latest laws and regulations and some of the newest and more efficient methods of pest control.
Do you carry insurance?
Yes, any reputable pest control operator should carry a variety of insurance, including general liability. It protects you, the consumer if anything happens.
Do you perform exclusion work?
Yes. Ask your technician for a recommendation and a price quote as each site varies from the next.
Do you treat termites or provide termite inspections?
No, we are not licensed by the state of California to treat or inspect for termites.
Do you spray around peoples houses for general insects?
No, we offer no structural pest control services with the use of insecticides.
What is the strangest thing you have ever caught?
