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!
Oakwood’s a small community in Freestone County. Rural. Quiet. Most folks have some land, maybe outbuildings or a barn. Peaceful living.
But pest problems are consistent with rural East Texas. Fire ants across properties. Mosquitoes near wooded areas. Termites in older structures. Rodents in barns and sheds. Wildlife getting into homes.
We’ve been handling pest control in Oakwood since 2006. We know rural properties. We know what it takes.
Properties around Oakwood have fire ant habitat everywhere. Pastures, yards, around buildings – they spread fast and build aggressive colonies.
Our Premium and Elite plans include fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft. Larger properties quoted based on actual acreage.
Woods, pastures, low areas that hold water – Oakwood’s got prime mosquito breeding conditions. Spring through fall, they make outdoor time brutal.
Monthly mosquito treatments reduce populations. Barrier sprays and In2Care systems make properties usable.
Older homes, barns, sheds – any wood structure is vulnerable around Oakwood. Humidity and wood create perfect termite conditions.
We inspect, treat with Termidor, and install Sentricon systems for long-term monitoring.
Mice and rats love rural properties. Barns, sheds, workshops – they nest, breed, cause damage.
We trap inside structures, bait exteriors, seal entry points where possible.
Raccoons, squirrels, possums – rural properties attract wildlife. They get into attics, damage structures, tear up insulation.
We trap, remove, seal entry points. Some jobs need clean-up after removal.
Essential or Premium Plan usually works. Quarterly treatments for everyday pests. Premium adds rodent control and fire ant treatment.
More land means more pest pressure. Fire
ants covering larger areas. More mosquitoes. More wildlife. More rodent activity around outbuildings.
Premium or Elite Plan recommended for properties with acreage. Fire ant treatment covers up to 20,000 sq ft – larger areas quoted separately based on actual size and pressure.
Barns, sheds, workshops, storage buildings – all attract rodents and provide harborage for spiders, wasps, and other pests.
We treat main homes plus outbuildings. Additional structures beyond the main home get quoted separately based on size and pest pressure.
Rural properties often have older homes with gaps, wood damage, and moisture issues that pests exploit. Need regular pest control plus careful monitoring for termites and carpenter ants.
Premium or Elite Plan recommended for older Oakwood properties. More comprehensive coverage and better protection against wood-destroying pests.
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 rural properties with consistent pest pressure.
Complete protection package. Everything above plus Sentricon termite monitoring and carpenter ant treatment. Total peace of mind for your Oakwood property.
Bundle mosquito control or lawn service with any plan and save 10% on both services.
Black widows in barns and storage buildings. Brown recluse in outbuildings and undisturbed spaces. Wolf spiders across properties. Orb weavers building webs between structures and trees.
We treat where spiders actually live – around foundations, under structures, in barns and sheds, around entry points. Not just spray the house and hope.
Argentine ants, rover ants, odorous house ants – they follow water sources into homes. Once they establish trails, they keep coming unless you treat the colony at its source.
We locate nesting sites, treat colonies directly when possible, and create barriers around structures to prevent new colonies from moving in.
Paper wasps, red wasps, mud daubers – they build nests under eaves, in barns, on equipment, around outbuildings. Aggressive and dangerous when disturbed.
We remove nests as part of regular service. Essential Plan covers up to 15 feet, Premium and Elite Plans up to 30 feet for higher locations.
Large black ants tunneling through wood. Common in rural Oakwood properties with older barns, sheds, or homes with moisture problems and wood damage.
Carpenter ant treatment included in Elite Plan. Additional service for Essential or Premium customers who need it.
Common on rural Oakwood properties with pets, livestock, or wildlife activity. We treat yards and outdoor spaces to reduce populations. Combined with vet-approved pet prevention, keeps them controlled.
Some Oakwood properties see scorpion activity. They hide under wood piles, in barns, around rock features. Monthly treatment required for heavy scorpion pressure.
Not included in regular plans. We quote scorpion programs separately based on property size and activity level.
Small kitchen roaches that breed incredibly fast. Need specialized clean-out treatment – multiple visits, intensive prep work, strategic product applications.
Not covered in regular plans because treatment approach is completely different. We quote German roach clean-outs separately based on infestation severity.
