Critter Control
Critter Control was incorporated in 1986 to offer businesses and homeowners a variety of wildlife control services. These services include repairing damage made by the animal and performing pest management such as screening vents, installing chimney caps and closing entry holes to make sure animals can't come back. While working as a chimney cleaner, Kevin Clark was often asked to remove animals from chimneys. Seeing the need for such services, Clark formed Clark's Critter Control in 1983 to remove animals from attics, decks and other areas for pest control companies. The company also provides on-call services for cities that do not have their own animal control agencies.
