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!






Trinity sits right on the lake. Beautiful area. Peaceful. Great for folks who want to be on the water without all the hustle.
But lakefront living comes with pest pressure. Mosquitoes are brutal near the water. Fire ants love the sandy soil. Termites thrive in the humidity. And if you’ve got a pier house or cabin, you’re probably dealing with spiders, wasps, and rodents too.
We’ve been handling pest control in Trinity and across Trinity County since 2006. We know lake properties. We know what works.
If you’re anywhere near the lake, mosquitoes are a constant problem from April through October. They breed in standing water, rest in vegetation, and make it miserable to enjoy your deck or yard.
Our Mosquito Duo Defense program uses monthly barrier treatments and In2Care breeding site control. Knocks populations way down so you can actually use your outdoor space.
Sandy soil, warm weather, moisture from the lake – fire ants love Trinity. They build mounds in yards, around docks, near structures. Aggressive and painful when disturbed.
Our Premium and Elite plans include fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft. Keeps them suppressed year-round.
Orb weavers building massive webs across walkways. Wolf spiders running across decks at night. Black widows hiding in storage areas and under docks.
We treat where spiders actually live – vegetation, under structures, around foundations. Not just spray and hope.
Humidity from the lake plus wood structures equals termite risk. Homes, cabins, pier houses, docks – all vulnerable.
We do inspections, liquid treatments with Termidor, and Sentricon monitoring systems for ongoing protection.
Mice and rats love lake properties – plenty of food and shelter. Raccoons, possums, and squirrels get into attics and storage areas.
We trap, remove, and seal entry points. Can’t just keep trapping – you have to stop them from getting in.
Most need at least Premium Plan. Mosquito pressure is high near the water. Fire ants are everywhere. Spiders and wasps love structures near the lake.
Bundle mosquito control with your pest plan and save 10%. Most lake property owners do this.
Essential or Premium Plan works for most. Quarterly treatments for ants, roaches, spiders, and everyday pests. Premium adds rodent stations and fire ant treatment.
If you’re not there full-time, pests move in when you’re gone. Rodents nest in storage areas. Spiders take over. Wasps build nests.
Quarterly service keeps things under control even when you’re not around. We can coordinate timing with your visits.
Older lake homes and cabins have gaps, wood damage, and moisture issues. Pests exploit every entry point.
We treat for pests and point out problems. Heavy exclusion work gets quoted separately.
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 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 lake properties with higher pest pressure.
Complete protection. Everything above plus Sentricon termite monitoring and carpenter ant treatment. For folks who want full coverage and peace of mind.
Bundle mosquito or lawn service with any plan and save 10%.
Under eaves, on piers, in boat storage, around docks – wasps love lake properties. They’re aggressive when disturbed and build nests fast.
We remove nests as part of regular service. Essential covers up to 15 feet, Premium and Elite up to 30 feet.
Lake properties often have moisture issues. Leaky pipes, poor drainage, humid crawlspaces. Ants follow moisture right into your house.
We find the source, treat the colony, and create barriers. Not just killing the ones you see on the counter.
Big black ants tunneling through wood. Common around lake properties with moisture problems or wood-to-soil contact.
Carpenter ant treatment is included in the Elite Plan. For Essential or Premium customers, it’s an additional service.
Swarms sometimes establish hives in structures near the lake. Old sheds, storage areas, wall voids.
We remove bee colonies safely. If it’s an aggressive Africanized colony, we eliminate it and remove the hive material.
We’ve been serving Trinity County since 2006. We understand lake properties and the unique pest challenges they face.
Joey’s an Associate Certified Entomologist – one of the highest credentials in pest control. Our technicians complete over 100 hours of training annually. We consult with Board Certified Entomologists on complex cases.
That expertise matters when you’re dealing with persistent pest problems near the lake.
