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!

Smith County’s clay-heavy soils and warm humid climate create ideal fire ant territory. Tyler homeowners deal with fire ant mounds in yards, driveways, and planting beds year-round, with populations surging after spring rains. Carpenter ants are common in Tyler’s older wooded neighborhoods, nesting in moisture-damaged oak and pine — occasionally mistaken for termites. Crazy ants (Nylanderia fulva), an invasive species now widespread in East Texas, are increasingly common in Tyler structures and can overwhelm electronics.
Each ant species requires a different treatment approach. Consult our guide to identifying ant species in East Texas and our carpenter ant vs. termite comparison before calling — knowing your pest saves time and money.
For fire ants in Tyler yards: the Texas two-step method from Texas A&M AgriLife — broadcast granular bait across the entire yard followed by individual mound treatment — achieves 80–90% population reduction within weeks. Spring and fall applications maintain year-round suppression.
For carpenter ants entering Tyler homes: targeted perimeter liquid treatment and gel bait placement near entry points and moisture-affected wood zones. For crazy ants and odorous house ants: bait placement along active foraging trails is more effective than spray treatment. See our fire ant treatment guide for broadcast vs. mound-only comparison.
