I spoke to the owner (a 20+ year experience). He looked up my property and provided a very competitive quote and multiple treatment options (pest only, pest plus rodent control). I have another company I am waiting to hear back from - but I am leaning towards using his service based on the obvious expertise and clearly caring about taking care of customers/prospective customers (and very competitive/fair pricing). for sure, you can't go wrong giving TYR a try!

The people at Raptor Pest Control are just fantastic. I heard something scratching around in the…read moreattic one morning and contacted Nikki at Raptor. By the afternoon, Nikki and her team member were at the office, had assessed the situation, and instituted a plan that got the job done! They were back two days later (over the holidays, no less) to retrieve the unfortunate critter. Ongoing communication was excellent. They followed up with additional inspection visits and confirmed that the situation was mitigated, and reached out several times afterwards to make sure that there was no more activity in the attic. Their service was prompt, professional, and genuinely caring -- these are professionals that take pride in what they do and a great service to our community. Wonderful people, excellent communication, and top‑tier results. If you need pest control, Raptor is the team you want. Highly recommend.

Their service is just top notch, they really care about their jobs and are always thorough. I originally used them as a "one time" job to rodent proof my garage. They figured out what had to be done including replacing the rubber seal at the bottom of the garage door, adding steel wool where the rodents could get in and better sealing the top of the door. We haven't had a rodent in the garage since. The job was so thorough that I ended up signing up for their monthly service and I have been happy ever since. I have since recommended them to every neighbor and at least 4 of them have used Raptor and have the same view as I do on Raptor's service and thoroughness.

Honestly, such a relief - and definitely worth every penny... unless you're an ant, in which case it was a terrible deal

If you have the chance to get them to come out to do the job, stop researching all the other options out there because trust me, they will do the job as good as anyone can do it, but also bring professionalism, integrity, compassion and a real human understanding. I was losing sleep every night because there was rummaging and scraping taking place on the roof above my bed. I suspected it was either birds or squirrels and had tried checking everything myself but couldn't find anything. I called around to some places to describe the issue I was having and at least one person referred me to Thomas Wildlife Control. I called up and managed to luck out by securing an appointment the following day. Brandon showed up on time ready to go to work and was very personable. He walked me through the process he would take and was very transparent with me including setting expectations so there wasn't any guess work involved. Cutting to the chase, he not only managed to find what was going on and causing it, but took the time to show me and explained how important it was to catch the culprit then because of all the other damage that could be done if it wasn't caught. Then he managed to provide a very reasonable solution to take care of the problem and did excellent, clean work. Brandon was like the more professional Doctor Doolittle / animal whisperer and made the whole experience feel easy and a great value. Now I'm sleeping peacefully and feel reassured that the problem was resolved. It's rare to feel like you really get what you paid for these days and I not only feel this way, but like I got the gold standard of work done. You won't regret hiring this company if you're lucky enough to get them on the books. Honest, reasonable, personable, reassuring, hard working and easy going... what more could you want? Thanks so much again guys.
