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.

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!
Huntsville’s one of the bigger cities we serve. Home to Sam Houston State University. Historic downtown. Mix of student housing, established neighborhoods, and newer subdivisions.
Growing city still has pest problems though. Fire ants in yards and campus areas. Mosquitoes near wooded properties and Lake Raven. Termites targeting older homes. Roaches, spiders, rodents – they’re all here.
We’ve been handling pest control in Huntsville and Walker County since 2006. We know the area. We know what works.
Huntsville’s got sandy soil and warm weather – fire ants thrive here. They build aggressive colonies in yards, parks, campus areas, playgrounds. Painful stings that ruin outdoor activities for families and students.
Our Premium and Elite plans include fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft. Quarterly applications keep populations suppressed year-round so your property stays usable.
Properties with trees, landscaping, or proximity to Lake Raven get hammered with mosquitoes from April through October. Makes summers miserable if you’re trying to enjoy your deck or yard.
Our monthly Mosquito Duo Defense program uses barrier treatments and In2Care breeding site eliminators. Reduces populations dramatically so you can actually use your outdoor space.
Huntsville’s got beautiful historic homes and established neighborhoods. Unfortunately, termites love older properties with wood siding, pier and beam foundations, moisture problems, and wood-to-soil contact.
We inspect for termite activity and damage, treat active infestations with Termidor liquid applications, and install Sentricon monitoring systems for continuous long-term protection.
Mice and rats get into attics and walls, especially in older areas of town. They chew electrical wiring (fire hazard), contaminate insulation, and reproduce fast if not addressed quickly.
We trap inside structures, place exterior bait stations strategically, and seal entry points to prevent new rodents from getting in.
Huntsville’s got a huge rental market with Sam Houston State nearby. Tenants expect pest-free properties. Regular service protects your investment and keeps tenants satisfied.
We work with landlords and property managers across Huntsville for ongoing maintenance and quick response to tenant pest issues.
Older homes need regular attention and monitoring. Quarterly pest control plus watching for termites, carpenter ants, and moisture issues that attract pests.
Premium or Elite Plan recommended for historic properties. More comprehensive coverage and long-term protection against wood-destroying pests.
Newer homes usually do fine with Essential or Premium Plan. Quarterly treatments keep ants, roaches, and spiders under control. Premium adds rodent bait stations and fire ant treatment.
If you’re near the lake, mosquito pressure is significantly higher. Bundle monthly mosquito service with your pest control plan – most lake property owners do because it’s necessary.
Fire ants love sandy lakefront soil too. Premium or Elite makes sense for lake properties with higher overall pest pressure.
We handle restaurants, offices, retail stores, medical facilities, warehouses, student housing complexes. Monthly or quarterly service depending on business type and health code requirements.
Quarterly pest control for ants, roaches, spiders, and everyday invaders. Interior and exterior treatments. Web and wasp nest removal up to 15 feet. Re-service guarantee if covered pests return between visits.
Everything in Essential plus exterior rodent bait stations, fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft, and wasp nest removal up to 30 feet. Better for properties with ongoing pest pressure or multiple issues.
Complete protection package. Everything above plus Sentricon termite monitoring system and carpenter ant treatment. Total peace of mind for your Huntsville property.
Bundle mosquito control or lawn service with any plan and save 10% on both services.
Black widows in garages and storage areas. Brown recluse in closets, attics, and undisturbed spaces. Wolf spiders running across floors at night. Orb weavers building massive webs across walkways and between trees.
We treat where spiders actually live and hide – not just spray baseboards and hope. Vegetation around foundations, under decks and porches, harborage areas, and entry points get targeted treatment.
Argentine ants, rover ants, odorous house ants – they follow moisture and food sources into homes. Once they establish trails to your kitchen or bathroom, they keep coming back unless you treat the colony at its source.
We locate where they’re nesting, treat the colony directly when possible, and create barriers around foundations to prevent new colonies from moving in.
Paper wasps, red wasps, mud daubers – they build nests under eaves, in attics, on porch furniture, around light fixtures. Aggressive and dangerous when disturbed, especially around kids and pets.
We remove nests as part of regular service. Essential Plan covers up to 15 feet, Premium and Elite Plans up to 30 feet for those higher locations.
Small kitchen roaches that breed incredibly fast and infest homes. Need specialized clean-out treatment – multiple visits, intensive prep work from homeowners, strategic product applications.
Not included in regular plans because the treatment approach is completely different. We quote German roach clean-outs separately based on infestation severity.
Common around properties with pets or wooded areas nearby. We treat yards and outdoor spaces to reduce populations. Combined with vet-approved pet prevention, keeps them controlled throughout the season.

PEST CONTROL IN RIVERSIDE, TEXAS
Riverside is a small community in Walker County near Lake Livingston. Mix of lake properties, year-round homes, and vacation places. Peaceful area. Great fishing. Quiet living.
But lakefront and rural living comes with pest pressure. Mosquitoes near the water. Fire ants in sandy soil. Spiders everywhere. Termites in older structures. And if you’ve got woods nearby, rodents and wildlife are constant issues.
We’ve been handling pest control in Riverside since 2006. We know lake properties. We know what works.
If you’re anywhere near the lake or low areas that hold water, mosquitoes are brutal from April through October. They breed fast in standing water and swarm at dusk, making outdoor time miserable.
Our Mosquito Duo Defense program uses monthly barrier treatments and In2Care breeding site control. Makes your property usable again instead of running inside every evening.
Sandy soil around Riverside and Lake Livingston is perfect for fire ants. They build mounds in yards, around docks, near structures. Painful stings. Aggressive colonies that spread fast.
Our Premium and Elite plans include fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft. Keeps them suppressed year-round so kids and pets can enjoy the yard.
Orb weavers building massive webs across walkways to the dock. Wolf spiders on decks at night. Black widows hiding in storage areas and under boats.
Lake properties attract spiders because there’s abundant insect activity near the water. We treat vegetation, under structures, and around foundations where spiders actually live.
Lake humidity plus wood structures equals termite risk. Homes, cabins, docks, pier houses – all vulnerable to termite damage over time.
We inspect for termites, treat active infestations with Termidor liquid applications, and install Sentricon monitoring systems for ongoing protection and peace of mind.
Mice and rats love lake properties. Plenty of food, water, and places to hide. They nest in storage rooms, boat storage, sheds. Chew wiring, contaminate stored items.
We trap inside structures, place bait stations outside strategically, and seal entry points to stop them from getting in.
Essential or Premium Plan works for most full-time residents. Quarterly treatments handle ants, roaches, spiders, and everyday pests. Premium adds rodent control and fire ant treatment.
Add mosquito service during warm months – most year-round residents do because mosquitoes are constant near the lake and make outdoor living miserable without treatment.
If you’re not there full-time, pests move in when you’re gone. Spiders take over the interior. Wasps build nests on your porch furniture. Rodents find their way inside.
Quarterly service keeps things under control between visits. We can coordinate timing around when you’re using the property so it’s ready when you arrive.
Highest pest pressure of any property type. Right on the water means maximum mosquito exposure. Moisture issues attract carpenter ants and termites. Spiders love the environment.
Premium or Elite Plan recommended for waterfront properties. More comprehensive coverage for the unique challenges of living directly on the water.
Riverside has properties from different eras. Older homes often have gaps, moisture issues from lake humidity, and wood damage that pests exploit.
We treat for pests and identify problem areas. Heavy exclusion or repair work gets quoted separately from regular pest service.
Quarterly pest control for ants, roaches, spiders, and common invaders. Interior and exterior treatments. Web and wasp nest removal up to 15 feet. Re-service guarantee between visits.
Everything in Essential plus exterior rodent bait stations, fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft, and wasp nest removal up to 30 feet. Better for lake properties with consistent pest pressure.

We remove nests as part of regular service. Essential covers up to 15 feet, Premium and Elite up to 30 feet for those higher locations.
Lake properties often have moisture issues from humidity. Ants follow water right into homes. Argentine ants, rover ants, carpenter ants find any entry point.
We find and treat the colony at its source – not just kill the ones marching across your counter.
Big black ants tunneling through wood. Common around lake properties with moisture problems, leaky pipes, or damaged wood from lake humidity.
Carpenter ant treatment included in Elite Plan. Additional service for Essential or Premium customers who need it.
Raccoons, squirrels, possums – they find gaps in older homes and move right in. Tear up insulation, chew wires, leave contamination and mess.
We trap, remove, and seal entry points so they can’t return. Some properties need clean-up and sanitation after wildlife removal.
