Who we are
Protecting people, property, and wildlife
Rabbits, raccoons, foxes, squirrels and bats are common visitors to homes and yards across Mississippi, drawn in by food and shelter. Getting them out, humanely, and keeping them out is what we do.
Squirrels and rabbits can quickly damage plants and landscaping. Rabbit burrows disturb the soil and can draw predators such as foxes, which can carry rabies and canine distemper into neighborhoods, a risk to pets and people alike.
We remove nuisance wildlife like squirrels, raccoons and bats, then seal the way in so they cannot come back. We serve a wide area of Central and Southern Mississippi, including Madison, Ridgeland, Brandon, Flowood, Pearl, Richland, Florence, Jackson, Clinton, Meridian, Forest, Morton and Hattiesburg.

Reviews
What customers say
Critter Control responded promptly to my call. Nathan was very professional and explained all the options for keeping squirrels out of my attic. He did not try to pressure me to do the most expensive option. He kept me updated about the schedule and was very pleasant to deal with. I would definitely use them again if I have more critter problems.
We had a little squirrel family invade our home and wouldn’t leave. James came out several times to place valves in the areas where they were getting in. When he would fix one area, they would create another so it took several times of him coming out but he was incredibly patient and also very knowledgeable about wildlife. He eventually got rid of them for good and fixed all the places they had chewed through my siding. I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with “critters” and would call him back in a heart beat if we had another problem!!
These guys are prompt, efficient and trustworthy. They are upfront with all charges. They can identify markings that indicate what pest you have in your attic. They are professionals! We had squirrels in our attic. We no longer have that problem thanks to them!

Answers
Wildlife questions
What are the typical wildlife problems that homeowners in your area encounter?
In Central Mississippi, the biggest problem with wildlife is when animals like squirrels, raccoons, and opossums enter homes and businesses. These animals often find and use weak spots in buildings to get inside.
How do different seasons influence the behavior of problematic wildlife in Jackson and Meridian?
While wildlife can be a problem throughout the year, certain seasons are particularly challenging. In cold weather, animals look for warm places, often inside homes, to take shelter. During spring, female animals seek safe spots, like a cozy attic, to give birth and raise their young.
What are typical indicators of wildlife disturbances?
Homeowners should stay alert to protect their well-being from wildlife intrusions. Listen for unusual sounds coming from the attic, walls, or beneath the floors. Regularly check your home for any signs of entry, such as gaps or holes near the roof or under-hangs. Also, pay attention to any odd smells or marks that could indicate animal presence.
Do you have any advice for preventing or keeping wildlife away for people living in your area?
There are several measures homeowners can take to protect their properties from unwanted wildlife. Ensuring trash bins are securely closed and keeping the area around the home free of debris can help. Trimming or removing large trees and shrubs close to your house can also deter animals from using them to get onto your roof. It's best to feed pets indoors; if you must feed them outside, remove any leftover food promptly to avoid attracting animals. Finally, make sure to seal any potential entry points into your home or building.
When should homeowners call Critter Control?
Damage from wildlife can pose significant risks to property owners. Chewed wires may lead to fires, while bats and birds can spread dangerous viruses. Larger animals, like raccoons, can cause severe damage to roofs and overhangs. It's important for property owners to reach out to a trusted wildlife removal service, such as Critter Control, at the first indication of animal presence.
Do you handle cats and dogs?
No. We do not handle cats or dogs. For a stray or loose pet, contact your local animal shelter or animal control.
