Raccoon-free for over a month now

A father and son team came and found where the raccoon was entering my attic. They installed a one-way door there so that the raccoon could exit the attic but not get back in. The guys came back a little more than a week later and removed the one-way door and sealed off all vent covers on the roof so that raccoons can not get back in. It's been over a month now and we are still raccoon-free. I'm a happy customer.

Raccoon removal

Chris and Ricky are the two most amazing contractors you can ever deal with.
They are the consummate professionals that get the job done.
While I was quoted from a company that gives free estimates and have drones and shiny vans to go with it, these guys did the best job ever while quoting me less than one-third of the quote from the other company.
they came the day after I removed the baby raccoons from my attic, put a one-way door in the hole where they entered, and after a week, came and installed a permanent metal sheet under my roof.
Raccoon family is gone, my family is happy, and I hope the next customer will be as happy as us. I'm confident enough to recommend them to anyone that needs them.
Thank you, Chris and Ricky!

Brian with A1 is awesome.

Have been using A1 on an annual retainer program since having a (single) rat problem in November 2021.
They have been prompt and thorough in their resolution of the initial issue (we got the rat in a trap!) and with their follow-up maintenance.
Specific technicians are a little hit and miss.
For instance, they use peanut butter to bait snap traps; a technician used one of my table spoons to scoop peanut butter and apply it to the trap and then used that same spoon to dip into the jar again. So my humans are obviously never eating from that jar of PB again!
Brian, however, was exceptional. He went the extra mile, looking for pest evidence and placing bait stations in places which previous techs had overlooked. Now we feel confident that any potential issues are mitigated!
Not cheap, but when a tech like Brian shows up, you feel the value is there.

Honest and excellent results

My brother had a problem with an animal destroying his house. A friend of his recommended A1 Animal Removal to him. He was very pleased with the results and price. I thought I would protect my house from this type of damage as my aunt had her attic completely destroyed many years ago, so I called A1 and decided to have some vent cages installed. They are an honest company. They did what I wanted at a great price. It's nice to see in this day and age that there are still a few honest people around. I highly recommend them. Thank you very much Chris and Ricky.

Amazing work and service

There were some birds that built a nest in a gap on our house. Chris and Ricky came the same day I called, and removed the nest and sealed the hole. They did amazing work, very quick and efficient. Very responsive. Very friendly people too. Will recommend to anyone.

Mouse in my car!

Chris and Ricky are awesome! Quick and reliable! I spoke to Chris on Thursday regarding mice in my car. He actually met me at my office the next day to place a bait box in my car. I thought is was a bit pricey at first but did not realized the bait box lasts for 7 years and after 6 months they will check the box with no extra charge to me. I would recommend this company to any of my friends/family and co-workers.

Birds, Racoons, Squirrels...

This is my first review but my third call to A1 Animal Control! Chris and Ricky have successfully prevented birds from roosting in our kitchen exhaust vent, prevented raccoons from burrowing under our back deck, and now removed a squirrel's nest (and a wasp's nest at the same time)!
They are very good at what they do. It is a relief to have a reliable, knowledgeable, and friendly company to turn to when critters start to invade spaces where they are not welcome!

Thank Chris, for the great service

Sorry to write after 2 years. My wife has just asking me for his contact again and reminder me I should write one for Chris at A1 Animals Removal.

Chris had been coming for two times. One is for a squirrel who climbs from the roof and drop to the lower level. The other time is the raccoon with her baby who lives in the garage.

Nice honest guy and his partner, friendly with lots of experience. Care to focus to help you out with the minimal cost. Willing to guarantee for a year if the animals get in again with the same entry. To the animal, he is nice. He is creative, not just fixed build one way door and fix the animals entrance, willing to exam your attic and see any mess, but he is willing to listen to my opinion and get together to figure out how to setup a little ladder to let the squirrel climb from the small light fixture hole and save the big knock down of the dry wall. I am really happy to see the little creature climb down slowly and run away (since he is really hungry trapping in the wall for 1 days and night). I took the video to show how the little creature climb down and run away !!! :D

Not only that, his partner really help me out to fix my roof when he gets up to the roof and fix a visible soft fit for me. He didn't ask for anything but how can I not give him tips for sure but just regret I can't get him a bigger one.

Second time on the Raccoon, coming from the side soft fixes over the 1st level and gets into a garage dry wall area. Fix the damage from Raccoon and reinforce it. It is a bigger job so cost roughly $500 and you understand it when you see it. Don't expect the same price anymore because it's been around 2 years. He build one way door to make sure no more baby raccoon in there, and we know the raccoon comes back because she and baby stand on the side lower level roof for a few days, but can't get in. Even leave poo on the side roof. Don't see them anymore after a while. Then Chris come back after a month to 2 to removal the one way door and cover it back up. So, it is another thumb up mission accomplish and quiet for me again.

It is a contradiction you don't want to see but want to see him when the animals problems come. Definitely will recommend it to everyone I know as I just refereed him to someone again today.
