Critter Control vs Orkin Franchise Comparison

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. The company also provides on-call services for cities that do not have their own animal control agencies.
