Spiders
With over 500 species of spiders in Wisconsin, you can expect some to be dangerous. While most spider bites are usually the result of defensive or accidental contact with humans, a spider bite can be very unpleasant, uncomfortable, and can irritate your skin. The major concern with a spider bite is the venom that is injected into the victim. Most spiders are harmless, but if you feel like one of our eight-legged friends could pose a threat, don't hesitate to call Critter Gitters.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are becoming quite common in Wisconsin. Bed bugs make their homes in mattresses, sheets, couches, and carpets, feeding off of your blood while you sleep.
Fleas
As the spring and summer seasons provide warmer temperatures, bugs can, unfortunately, become quite a nuisance. This includes crickets, flies, fleas, beetles, centipedes, millipedes, and more. We at Critter Gitters are ready to eliminate insects of all sorts to ensure you home or business is taken care of properly.
Cockroaches
Finding a roach in your home or business can make anyone feel uncomfortable. Unfortunately, all structures in the Racine and Kenosha area are susceptible to cockroaches. If you see a cockroach in the daytime, chances are, there may be a larger number of them in hiding, as they can easily adapt to many types of environments. This is one of the reasons why it is important to hire a professional to take care of the cockroaches in order to ensure that all of them are found.
Bees
Summer may bring many welcome things, but stinging insects, such as bees, wasps, and hornets - that are especially active during the second half of the summer - are not one of them. Critter Gitters will rid your property of these stinging menaces without causing harm to the environment.

Beetles
After going through the outside of the home it's time to move inside. Small insects like Elder Tree Bugs and Asian Lady Beetles find dark places in the home to hibernate. Small cracks and crevices in windows, doors, pantries, based boards, or cabinets are some of their favorites. Another preventative measure that can be taken on your home's interior are covering openings to vents, air dryers, and chimneys. These entryways are like lit neon signs for critters to enter your home at the end of summer. Why is it so important to keep your home clean and free from leftover crumbs, meals, or stickiness? These areas act as magnets for critters if not taken care of. Lastly, leaky pipes and clogged drains should be taken care of to prevent unneeded moisture and flooding that will attract more critters.
Hornets
We have been a family owned business for 40+Â years. We pride ourselves in having our technicians treating other people's homes as if they were their own homes, and talking with our customers and educating them about the process we are performing in their homes.

Stinging Insects
Stinging insects send over 500,000 people to the emergency room every year. Ridding your home of stinging insects is a dangerous, difficult, and messy job. Let our licensed professionals design a customized program to help you keep stinging insects away from your property.
As you look around your home's exterior, take note of some commonalities. Garbage receptacles should remain clean and sealed tight. There isn’t a better place for rodents and other critters to hide then at the bottom of a sticky, garbage filled, unsealed receptacle. Investigate the outside of the home for any cracks in the foundation or siding. If you find them, seal them up with caulk or steel wool. If you aren’t taking time to locate these cracks, the small insects of Wisconsin will enter and make your home their fall and winter residence. A few additional important considerations are your gutters, garage door, and lawn. Gutters often contain standing water and unneeded moisture, which is prime for attracting insects. If your garage door lacks a seal, small rodents will squeeze their way inside. Remember to keep your lawn and landscaping well trimmed. This should be done to make sure you’re not giving insects a safe place or hideout underneath sticks, leaves, or firewood.
Mice
Mice and rats are known to cause health issues for many people. For this reason, it is important to eradicate them from homes and businesses. Contact us today to discuss a plan to gain control of your rodent situation and keep them from returning in the future.
