I contacted Critter Gitters this morning to help me eradicate a huge wasp nest on the front of my house and around the eaves of my roof. They kindly came out a couple of hours later, killed all of the wasps, and sent me a picture of the nests. Now THAT’S service!!! Wouldn’t use anyone else!! Thanks Lane for your help and awesome service!

We have used Critter Gitters for years and wouldn’t think to go elsewhere. They are extremely detail oriented, down to the de-webbing of the whole exterior of our home. They are always extremely professional and punctual (which is a huge must for us). I couldn’t recommend a better company than Critter Gitters!

Joey Baker was highly recommended by the realtor who sold me my house. I saw what looked like termites, but Joey came right away and identified carpenter ants. I saved some dead ones in a zip lock bag for him to look at. He and his team treated the inside and outside of the house. It only took 2 treatments to get rid of the little critters. Don't do what I did. When they first started trailing out of the wall, I sprayed pesticide on them. Joey let me know to let them trail, otherwise they will go back in and make another colony.

Termite issues, they have a service for that too. Locally owned, and affordable. The technicians are also professional, safe, and understand that each homeowner has their own unique concerns.

I love Bentley's more every day. They called to offer a special for winter HVAC check which was great for me since I just bought this house and it wasn't previously maintained well. We found I needed a drain line flow switch, and they went and picked one up and came back within minutes. They also offer a service agreement for 2 visits per year, which includes cleaning the condenser unit, 10% off parts and no after hour rates. We are going to pull/clean the evaporator until and blower wheel next visit. Bentley's is professional and shows up when they say they will. I love the reminders and having an invoice with the detail is awesome. Their team is very personable and easy to work with. What I really love is if they see something wrong, they tell you up front, instead of waiting until something breaks down (unlike my last AC vendor). Thank you Bentley's for taking such good care of my new home and my wallet!






Lovelady might be small, but the pest problems aren’t.
Fire ants in the yard. Mosquitoes near the creek and Trinity River areas. Termites finding their way into homes. Rodents in barns and storage buildings.
And if you’ve got woods around your property, you’re dealing with wildlife too – raccoons, squirrels, and everything else that thinks your attic looks like a nice place to nest.
We’ve been handling pest control in Lovelady since 2006. Same straightforward approach we bring to every property in Houston County.
They’re bad around Lovelady. Sandy soil, warm weather, plenty of moisture – fire ants love it here.
One mound turns into twenty if you don’t stay on top of it. And nobody wants their kids or pets getting stung while playing outside.
Our Premium and Elite plans include broadcast fire ant treatment across your lawn. Keeps populations knocked down year-round.
If you’re anywhere near the creek, Trinity River, or low-lying areas, mosquitoes are brutal from spring through fall.
Our Mosquito Duo Defense program uses monthly treatments and In2Care breeding site control. Makes your yard usable again instead of running inside every time you step out.
Lovelady’s got humidity, moisture, and plenty of wood structures. Termites don’t need much more invitation than that.
We do full inspections, liquid treatments with Termidor, and Sentricon monitoring systems for long-term protection.
Mice and rats are common in barns, sheds, workshops, and storage buildings. They chew through wiring, contaminate stored items, and breed fast.
We trap, bait around the exterior, and seal entry points. Can’t just keep trapping forever – you have to stop them from getting in.
Usually do well with quarterly service. Essential or Premium Plan covers the basics – ants, roaches, spiders, wasps. Add rodent stations and fire ant treatment with Premium.
More land means more pest pressure. Wildlife near wooded areas. Fire ants across multiple acres. Outbuildings that attract rodents and spiders.
Premium or Elite Plan makes more sense. More comprehensive coverage and protection.
Lovelady’s got its share of older properties. Great character. But also gaps, cracks, and wood damage that pests exploit.
We treat for pests and point out entry points. For heavy exclusion work (sealing up everything permanently), that’s a separate project we can quote.
Quarterly treatments for ants, roaches, spiders, and everyday pests. Interior and exterior work. Web and wasp nest removal up to 15 feet. Re-service guarantee if covered pests come back between visits.
Everything in Essential plus exterior rodent bait stations, fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft, and wasp removal up to 30 feet. Better for properties with consistent pest pressure.
Complete coverage. Everything above plus Sentricon termite monitoring and carpenter ant treatment. This is for folks who want full protection and don’t want to worry about pests.
Bundle mosquito or lawn service with any plan and save 10%.
Wolf spiders, orb weavers, black widows, brown recluse – all common around Lovelady. They love storage areas, woodpiles, and undisturbed spaces.
We treat the areas where they’re actually living, not just spray and hope. Knock down webs, treat harborage areas, create barriers.
Rover ants, Argentine ants, odorous house ants – they follow moisture and food sources. Once they find your kitchen, they keep coming back unless you treat the colony.
We track where they’re coming from, treat the source, and create barriers. Not just killing the ones you see.
Raccoons, squirrels, possums – they get into attics through damaged vents or gaps in the roofline. Once inside, they tear up insulation and create a mess.
We trap and remove them, then seal entry points so they can’t come back. Some properties need clean-up and sanitation after wildlife removal – we handle that too.
Under eaves, on equipment, in barns – wasps love Lovelady. They’re aggressive when disturbed and build nests fast.
We remove nests up to 15 feet on Essential Plan, up to 30 feet on Premium and Elite. Part of every quarterly visit.
