Critter Control Gainesville FL: Pest Control & Damage Restoration Services

If you experience a water heater leak in your Gainesville apartment, first turn off the water supply and electricity to the unit. Then, contact Critter Control immediately. While we are known for pest removal, we also specialize in damage restoration, including water damage from leaks. Our team can assess the extent of the damage, remove any affected materials like insulation, and perform necessary repairs, such as attic or roof work, to prevent mold and structural issues. We serve the entire Gainesville area, including apartments near the University of Florida campus and neighborhoods like Haile Plantation.

For raccoon infestations in attics, especially in older homes near downtown Gainesville, we start with a thorough inspection to identify entry points. We then safely remove the raccoons, often using humane traps, and relocate them according to Florida wildlife regulations. After removal, we repair any damage, such as torn soffits or chewed wiring, and seal all entry points with durable materials. We also clean up droppings and replace contaminated insulation to ensure your attic is safe and pest-free. Our technicians are familiar with common issues in historic neighborhoods like the Duck Pond area.

Yes, a hidden pipe leak behind a kitchen sink can create damp conditions that attract pests like cockroaches, ants, or even rodents. Critter Control can address both the pest issue and the water damage. First, we will identify and remove any pests that have taken advantage of the moisture. Then, we handle the damage restoration, including removing damaged drywall, repairing or replacing insulation, and addressing any mold or mildew. We also offer caulking and sealing services to prevent future leaks and pest entry. This service is available throughout Gainesville, including areas near the Oaks Mall and Tioga Town Center.
