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!

Tyler’s older residential neighborhoods — the Azalea District, Rose Garden area, and neighborhoods adjacent to the UT Tyler campus — have the highest rodent call volume in Smith County. Older homes with original wood framing, crawl spaces, and decades of utility penetrations that haven’t been sealed provide numerous entry points for roof rats and Norway rats. Student rental properties near UT Tyler follow patterns similar to college-town rodent issues nationwide.
Roof rats are Tyler’s dominant urban rodent, entering homes through roofline gaps and tree branches overhanging roofs. Our East Texas rodent-proofing guide covers the most common entry points for both roof rats and Norway rats in Smith County homes.
Critter Gitters inspects your Tyler home from foundation to roofline — identifying every active entry point, harborage area, and conducive condition before treatment begins. We place mechanical snap traps along active rodent runways, perform exclusion work on all identified entry points, and provide sanitation recommendations to eliminate attractants.
For older Tyler homes with crawl spaces, attic rodent issues are particularly common and often go unnoticed until electrical chewing damage or a strong odor appears. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension recommends exclusion-first IPM as the most effective and permanent rodent management approach for residential properties.
