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.

Whether one has bugs inside their home or outside, Critter Gitters offers the complete pest control services. Having mosquito issues outside, they have a service for that. Termite issues, they have a service for that too. Locally owned, and affordable. The technicians are also professional, safe, and understand that each homeowner has their own unique concerns.

Madisonville and Midway
Madison County’s on the edge of our service area, but we’ve been taking care of properties in Madisonville and Midway for years. Good people, and plenty of pest challenges to keep us busy.
What You’re Dealing With in Madison County
Madison County gets the full East Texas pest lineup. Fire ants, mosquitoes, termites, roaches, spiders – they’re all here. Add in humidity and vegetation, and you’ve got year-round pest pressure.
Common Pest Issues Around Madisonville
Fire Ants
Everywhere. Yards, driveways, flower beds, around air conditioning units. We treat them as part of Premium and Elite plans, but expect them to keep trying to come back – they're stubborn around here.
Termites
Madison County has active termite populations. Older homes and properties with mature trees are especially at risk. We do inspections, treatments, and Sentricon monitoring to protect structures long-term.
Mosquitoes
Trees and humidity make Madison County prime mosquito territory. Our Mosquito Duo Defense program cuts populations significantly so you can actually use your yard.
Rodents
Rats and mice find their way into attics, garages, and crawlspaces. We trap what's there and seal entry points to keep them from coming back.
Spiders
Black widows, brown recluse, wolf spiders, orb weavers – Madison County's got them all. We treat them with quarterly service and targeted applications when needed.
Service Plans That Work
Essential Plan – Quarterly treatments for ants, roaches, spiders, crickets, and other everyday pests. Interior and exterior. Web and wasp removal up to 15 feet. If covered pests come back, so do we.
Premium Plan – Essential plus rodent bait stations, fire ant treatment, and wasp removal up to 30 feet. Good for larger properties or persistent pest problems.
Elite Plan – Full protection. Premium plus Sentricon termite monitoring and carpenter ant treatment. For homeowners who want everything handled.
Bundle mosquito control or lawn services with any plan and save 10%.
What to Expect from Service
First visit, we inspect. Look at pest activity, check for entry points, identify conditions that are attracting pests. Then we recommend a plan based on what we actually see.
Treatments are thorough. We treat the perimeter, entry points, inside when needed. Remove webs and wasp nests. Focus on the areas where pests are actually living, not just where you’re seeing them.
Between visits, if covered pests come back, call us. We’ll come back at no charge. That’s part of the guarantee.
Questions Madison County Homeowners Ask
“Do you service Madisonville regularly?”
Yep. We’ve got customers throughout Madison County and service the area consistently. We’re not trying to cover too much ground – we only service areas where we can be reliable.
“What if I need something between visits?”
If it’s a covered pest, we come back at no charge. If it’s something outside your plan, we’ll quote it separately and schedule it.
“Can you handle termites and regular pests?”
Yeah. The Elite Plan includes both Sentricon termite monitoring and regular pest control. Or we can do termite treatment separately if you just need that.
“How often do I need service?”
Quarterly service works for most homes. If you’ve got heavy pest activity or specific issues, we might recommend more frequent visits initially to get control.
