    We had an excellent experience with Mike Ryder from Critter Authority! We discovered a bird trapped in our attic and were understandably stressed about the situation. Mike responded quickly, was extremely professional, and handled everything with care and expertise.
    He safely removed the bird, thoroughly inspected the area, and made sure we understood how it likely got in and what steps to take to prevent it from happening again. His knowledge and calm demeanor really put us at ease.
    If you need a reliable and knowledgeable wildlife pest technician, I highly recommend Mike Ryder and Critter Authority. Outstanding service from start to finish!

Everyone in Critter Authority's scheduling/admin office has been so proactive and helpful as well. Mike is really skilled and thorough in implementing their rodent program, installing a new crawlspace door, and answering all of our questions.
