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!
Pennington’s small. Rural. Quiet. Most properties have acreage, outbuildings, woods nearby.
That means pest pressure. Fire ants across pastures. Mosquitoes near wooded areas. Termites finding older structures. Rodents in barns. Wildlife getting into homes and sheds.
We’ve been handling pest control in Pennington and Trinity County since 2006. We know rural properties. We know what it takes.
Rural properties around Pennington have acres of fire ant habitat. 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 get quoted based on actual acreage.
Woods, pastures, low areas that hold water – Pennington’s got prime mosquito breeding habitat. Spring through fall, they’re relentless.
Monthly mosquito treatments make properties usable again. Barrier sprays and In2Care systems knock populations way down.
Older homes, barns, sheds, fences – any wood structure is at risk. Humidity and wood equal termite problems around Pennington.
We inspect, treat active infestations with Termidor, and install Sentricon systems for long-term monitoring.
Mice and rats love rural properties. Barns, sheds, workshops, storage buildings – they nest, breed, and cause damage.
We trap inside structures, bait around exteriors, and seal entry points where possible.
Raccoons, squirrels, possums, even occasional armadillos – rural properties attract wildlife. They get into attics, tear up insulation, damage structures.
We trap, remove, and 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 across the board. Fire ants, mosquitoes, wildlife – all increase with acreage.
Premium or Elite Plan recommended. Fire ant and mosquito service quoted based on actual property size.
Barns, sheds, workshops – each structure attracts pests. Spiders, rodents, wasps. More buildings mean more treatment areas.
Premium or Elite gives better coverage for multiple structures.
Older homes and barns have gaps, wood damage, moisture issues. Pests exploit every weakness.
We treat and identify problems. Heavy exclusion or repair work quoted separately.
Quarterly pest control for ants, roaches, spiders, and common pests. Interior and exterior work. Web and wasp removal up to 15 feet. Re-service guarantee if covered pests return.
Everything in Essential plus exterior rodent stations, fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft, and wasp nest removal up to 30 feet.
Complete protection. Everything above plus Sentricon termite monitoring and carpenter ant treatment.
Bundle mosquito or lawn service and save 10%.
Black widows, brown recluse, wolf spiders, orb weavers – all common around rural properties. They love barns, sheds, equipment storage.
We treat where they’re living – not random spraying. Harborage areas, under structures, around foundations.
Moisture, food sources, entry points – ants find them all. Argentine ants, carpenter ants, rover ants.
We locate colonies, treat them directly when possible, and create barriers.
Tractors, equipment, barns, sheds – wasps build nests everywhere around rural properties. Dangerous when you’re working and accidentally disturb one.
We knock down nests regularly as part of service. Essential up to 15 feet, Premium and Elite up to 30 feet.
Mice and rats chew wiring in tractors, contaminate feed, nest in stored equipment and insulation.
Ongoing treatment keeps populations down. Trapping alone doesn’t work – you have to bait exteriors and seal entries.
