Cartoon inspirations

I think I have finally figured out one of many reasons why I got into this industry. Early on I was memorized by the cartoon characters. Long before the days of Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon my Saturday mornings consisted of waking up before everyone else and watching my favorite cartoons. Many of them consisted of critters. And now.... We are the CRITTER GETTERS! I will enlighten you with additional cartoon icons in the days ahead!
This here is "Speedy Gonzales" The fastest mouse in Mexico.

WOW.....20 years went by fast!!!

Well, as we get ready and gear up for our busy season, I look back and wonder where did the time go? We are celebrating our 20th year in business and if all goes well, in a few years this young man will be a full fledged Critter Getter tech. This is our son. He has grown up around the business and he will be 15 years old this summer. He has already started doing a few odds and ends for us and has a desire to earn money. As I reflect on the last 20 years, I ask myself, where did the time go? It sure went by fast!!! We have come a long way and have grown by leaps and bounds! We had a record year in 2017 and we expect 2018 to be even better. We are excited about the next 20 years and look forward to growing and serving our community even more. As our daughter is now coming of age, I hope to get her a bit more involved too. She is only 8 but has a passion for getting out and catching critters. I look forward to involving her into the mix a bit more as well. I hope to blog a bit more this year also, but I say that every year.....LOL. So as far as things go, to quote a cereal tiger "They are GREAT" We love our clients, we love our staff and we love our industry. If you need our help, we are just a click or call away. 480-984-2660 or www.ourbugguy.com As I get ready to wrap up the day and head out, I wanted to remind you to keep the sunblock on. It's warming up out there and we want you to stay safe!!! And remember... Hydrate...Hydrate... Hydrate!!!

Llamas on the loose.....

div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
http://www.aol.com/article/2015/02/26/two-llamas-on-the-run-in-arizona-captivated-the-nation-turned-u/21147235/?ncid=webmail1 Well, We have seen some wild critters running around the Valley before but not Llamas. Check out the link above. A few weeks ago it was a bear, last year there was a mountain lion roaming around, even a few cattle roaming the streets now and again. We normally don't deal with such large animals but there are always bobcats, coyotes and javilina. Typically we are catching these types of critters and skunks, raccoons, squirrels and the occasional opossum. If you have critters and need them gone, be sure to call the Critter Getters. You can find us at www.azcrittergetter.com or 480-984-2660. Well I have to run but be sure to keep the sunblock on! Critter OUT!

Seahawks lose and we get 6 more weeks of Winter?

Well, the Seahawks lost the Super bowl and the ground hog saw his shadow. I guess that means there is going to be 6 more weeks of winter. http://www.aol.com/article/2015/02/02/pennsylvania-groundhog-forecasts-6-more-weeks-of-winter/21137883/?cps=gravity_1967_3795965832913442494 We had a good time watching the game! Enjoyed a good game and some wonderful family time. Guess we can keep the winter gear out for a few more weeks. It may get up to the 80's around here in the next week or two. The critters will be coming out of hiding and causing issues if that is the case. Well I have to run, but if you have any critter issues be sure to give us a call @ 480-984-2660 or find us on the web at www.azcrittergetter.com.

The "BIG GAME" is coming..... Need service before your party?

Well the Super bowl is just around the corner. There are some people who want nothing to do with this sporting event. For those of you who don't enjoy this event, there is the puppy bowl on the Animal planet. I have not seen it before but it looks cute. I will be watching the game myself but there are other options for those that won't be. Below is a link to the puppy bowl info.http://www.abc15.com/news/news-photo-gallery/2015-animal-planet-pupper-bowl-meet-the-starting-line-up If you have any pest or wildlife issues and need them resolved before the "BIG GAME" there is still plenty of time to schedule an appointment. Don't wait until the last minute to get that bee issue resolved or that ant problem on the back patio taken care of. If you wait until the day before the game it may be to late. Call us at 480-984-2660 or find us on the web at www.ourbugguy.com or www.azcrittergetter.com . Time for me to run..... Be sure to "keep the sunblock on" Critter OUT!

Seal it up and keep them out

Well, I couldn't find anything in the news today about critters. So I figured I will mention that we install chimney caps and provide seal up and exclusion services. Most homes are built with a few gaps, cracks and crevices'. In most cases we are able to locate those openings and seal them off. We are able to exclude critters from being able to enter in to your home or attic. If you think you may have an unwanted guest getting into your home, give us a call. We can trap the critter and then seal up the access points. Typically we find roof rats, pack rats, squirrels, and raccoons getting in to the attic space. Once in a while it turns out to be a ringtail or some other critter. You can find us on the web at www.azcrittergetter.com or www.ourbugguy.com You can also call us at 480-984-2660. Well I have to run now. Got some critter getting to do! "keep the sunblock on" and have a great day! Critter OUT!
