Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We offer free inspections for pest control and wildlife removal services throughout the Greater Knoxville area.

We prioritize urgent situations, especially wildlife inside a home, snake encounters, and stinging insect nests near entry points. For most calls, we can get a technician to your property the same day or next business day.

For pest control visits, no special preparation is needed in most cases. For wildlife situations, keep your distance from the animal, keep pets and children away from the area, and note where you've seen or heard the activity. If you can safely take a photo, that can be helpful — but don't put yourself at risk.

Yes. Critter Wranglers is licensed by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture for pest control and certified by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency for wildlife removal. That means one company handles everything from ants and termites to raccoons and bats. You don't need to call separate providers.

Pricing depends on the type of service, the size of your property, and the severity of the issue. We provide estimates upfront so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. Contact us for a free estimate.

Both. Some issues, like a one-time ant invasion or a wildlife removal, are handled with a single service call. Others, like ongoing pest prevention or German cockroach infestations, benefit from monthly or quarterly visits. We'll recommend the approach that fits your situation and let you decide.

Yes. We provide commercial pest control for offices, restaurants, multi-unit housing, retail spaces, and other commercial properties. We schedule treatments while taking your hours of operation into consideration and can provide documentation for health and compliance requirements.

Yes, but it's regulated. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency sets rules for how and when nuisance wildlife can be trapped and removed. Our technicians are TWRA-certified and handle every removal in full compliance with state regulations.

We prioritize humane, live removal whenever possible. We use live traps, one-way exclusion devices, and species-specific techniques designed to safely capture and relocate animals. In some situations where relocation isn't permitted under state regulations, other methods may be necessary. We'll always discuss your options before proceeding.

We recommend exclusion work to seal the entry points the animal used to access your home. Without sealing, a new animal will find the same opening. For situations involving significant contamination, we also offer attic restoration to clean up droppings, urine, and damaged insulation.

We serve over 30 communities across the Greater Knoxville area, including Knoxville, Powell, Farragut, Maryville, Oak Ridge, Lenoir City, and many more. Visit our Service Areas page for the full list.

Call us and describe what you're seeing or hearing. Our team can often narrow it down over the phone, and we'll confirm the species during the inspection. You don't need to identify the problem yourself before reaching out.
