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.

Lake Living Comes with Pest Challenges
Trinity County’s got some beautiful properties. Lake Livingston, Westwood Shores, rural land around Trinity and Groveton. But with all that water and woods, pests are just part of the deal.
We’ve been servicing Trinity County for years. Know the area, know the pest pressure, know what folks are dealing with around the lake and beyond.
What You’re Up Against in Trinity County
Mosquitoes
Living near the lake means mosquitoes. Lots of them. Standing water, humidity, shade – everything mosquitoes love.
Spiders
All the trees and vegetation around lake properties? Spiders thrive. Black widows in the woodpile. Wolf spiders wandering inside. Orb weavers building webs across every walkway.
Termites
High humidity plus older homes equals termite risk. We see a lot of termite activity around Trinity County, especially in areas with mature trees.
Wildlife
Raccoons, squirrels, possums, armadillos – if you've got property in Trinity County, you've probably dealt with wildlife getting into places they shouldn't be.
Ants and Roaches
They follow moisture. And around here, there's plenty of it. Fire ants in the yard, roaches looking for water inside, carpenter ants damaging wood structures.
Our Approach to Trinity County Properties
Lake houses and rural properties need a different strategy than a typical residential treatment. More entry points. More conducive conditions. More ongoing pressure.
We treat based on what your specific property needs. A cabin that’s only used on weekends gets a different plan than a year-round residence on five acres.
Service Plans That Actually Work Here
Essential Plan – Quarterly treatments covering ants, roaches, spiders, and other common pests. Good baseline for most homes.
Premium Plan – Adds rodent control, expanded fire ant treatment, and higher wasp removal. Better for larger properties or areas with heavy pest activity.
Elite Plan – Full protection including Sentricon termite monitoring and carpenter ant coverage. Makes sense for valuable lake properties where you want everything handled.
Add Mosquito Duo Defense to any plan and save 10%. Around Trinity County, most folks end up adding mosquitoes because it’s the only way to actually use the outdoor space during summer.
Common Issues We Handle
Mosquitoes making the dock and patio unusable
Our Mosquito Duo Defense program targets breeding areas and treats vegetation where adults rest. Cuts mosquito populations down significantly – not gone, but manageable.
Spiders everywhere, especially in the boathouse and garage
We treat the areas where they’re living, remove webs, and hit entry points. With quarterly treatments, spider numbers stay under control.
Termites or carpenter ants damaging the structure
We’ll inspect, identify which pest you’re dealing with, and treat accordingly. For termites, Sentricon monitoring gives ongoing protection without drilling and trenching.
Wildlife getting into the attic or crawlspace
We trap what’s there and seal entry points so they can’t get back in. Just removing them doesn’t solve the problem if they can just come back.
What to Expect from Service
First visit, we’ll walk the property. Look at pest activity, check for entry points, identify conducive conditions. Then we’ll recommend a plan that fits what you’ve actually got going on.
Treatments are thorough. We’re not rushing through to hit the next stop. We take the time to treat it right – perimeter, entry points, problem areas, web removal.
And if pests come back between visits, so do we. No charge. That’s the guarantee.
