Review left on 17 Oct 2026Rating: 1 out of 5(Updated on 20 Oct 2026)Rodent pest control: Rats; Detached house
Absolute ripoff. $400 for a cursory inspection with no real solutions. Missed several entry points another company found and remediated. Used 5 traps - yes, we caught 2 rats - which I disposed of myself. Traps were worth about $30 on Amazon. Was hoping not to leave a one star review - as Gotcha contacted me with what I thought was going to be appropriate follow up. Nope, he came in removed the $30 worth of traps and left. Yes, it was clear on invoice it was a "2 week program" - but this is a stressful situation for a homeowner, and I was just back from vacation and jumped at the first solution (that's on me). Other companies charged less than half for twice the service.Answer from pro:
We’re sorry the outcome did not meet your expectations. The service purchased was a two-week interior rat trapping program, and rats were successfully caught during that period. Before work began, we clearly explained that this program carried no guarantee and did not include sealing entry points or preventing further rats from entering. Continued activity can occur while access points remain open. The agreed service was completed within that scope and timeframe. We remain committed to clearly communicating our service terms and providing professional, transparent service Gotcha Wildlife

Sir, I left several text messages for you asking to replace the wire mesh that you put outside the vent to a more sturdier thicker better wire mesh. Till today, I have not heard anything back from you. You did spot where the activity was happening and you came back to put the mesh. But the mesh you put is very flimsy and not sturdy and very thin. I sent several messages asking if you could do the needful, but haven’t heard anything back from you so far. Thank you.Answer from pro:
Thank you for clarifying your concerns. We would like to provide context for anyone reading this review. The 1” x 1” 16-gauge galvanized hardware cloth installed at the vent is a heavy-duty wildlife exclusion material designed to prevent entry while maintaining ventilation. It is the same material we routinely use for vents and other wildlife entry points. The scope of work and materials were discussed and agreed upon before completion, and the agreed-upon service was provided. We have not received the messages referenced regarding this concern. Had we received them, we would have been happy to discuss the issue. We stand behind our work. If the material is loose, damaged, or compromised, we are willing to address it. However, requesting a different or heavier material than originally agreed upon would be outside the original scope. We remain committed to addressing legitimate concerns professionally.

Contractor was late, which is not a big issue. I asked for the pictures of the before and after job done, and haven't received it, still not that big of an issue. The main issue was that a sharp object had been left on the ground and I stepped on it. It is supposed to be cleaned up once the job is completed, correct?Answer from pro:
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize that the before-and-after photos were not provided as requested. We understand the importance of documenting completed work and will review our process to prevent this from being overlooked. We are also sorry to hear you stepped on a sharp object. Our crews are instructed to thoroughly clean the work area upon completion, and we always make every effort to remove any materials associated with the job before leaving the property. However, we were not made aware of this concern before this review and were not provided with any photos or information about the object. Without seeing it, we cannot determine whether it was related to our work. Had we been contacted directly, we would have appreciated the opportunity to investigate and address your concerns. We value customer feedback and always strive to ensure our customers are satisfied with our service.

We had an animal digging to get access under our shed in the backyard. From the first contact Kenneth was responsive and educated us on the options available to us, and quickly provided an estimate for the work to dig a trench and install screening. This was scheduled and completed quickly. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend Gotcha Wildlife.Answer from pro:
