The opening of the New Bedford franchise will service the Bristol and Plymouth counties, assisting locals with the removal of bats, raccoons, rodents and many more wildlife species from area homes, yards and gardens<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW BEDFORD, MA, July 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Critter Control<\/a>, an industry leader in the humane removal of nuisance wildlife, is pleased to announce the grand opening of its newest franchise location in New Bedford, Massachusetts, today. Co-owned and operated by David and Kim Silvia, the new location will serve the Bristol and Plymouth Counties with wildlife removal services for area residents dealing with detrimental wildlife issues involving bats, raccoons, rodents, skunks and many more species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With summer in full swing in New Bedford, many animals, like raccoons, are on the prowl, looking for a place to beat the heat and establish a safe nesting spot, and the attics, walls, garages, and more places in local homes will be a great choice for them. Interactions with nuisance species can lead to dangerous situations and costly property damage. Critter Control of New Bedford<\/a> will play a vital role in keeping residents and their families safe, while also ensuring the humane handling of any wildlife species causing unwanted issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur mission is to help homeowners maintain their homes by not only removing nuisance wildlife, but also providing the necessary, preventative repairs that will ward off future issues,\u201d said Kim Silvia, Co-Owner of Critter Control of New Bedford. \u201cMany homes throughout the New Bedford area are located right by wooded environments, where it\u2019s common for all kinds of animals to wander out, into people\u2019s walls and attics; we aim to properly alleviate those situations this summer and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 1983, Critter Control is a nuisance wildlife removal service<\/a> that prioritizes the humane removal of animals from homes and yards. With the launch of each new franchise comes an intensive, hands-on training session to ensure the success of every new franchise operator. The training sessions are held at Critter Control\u2019s Atlanta headquarters, with simulated environments that prepare teams for any wildlife scenario. The company\u2019s attention to safety, ongoing education and training allows its franchise owners to operate to the utmost success and confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNew England is no stranger to critter issues in the summertime, and New Bedford is no different,\u201d said Joe Felegi, General Manager of Critter Control. \u201cPeople are going to start seeing a lot more interactions with wandering wildlife, if they haven\u2019t already. Thankfully, David and Kim are well-trained professionals who are perfect for the job; they\u2019ll be an incredible resource for anyone dealing with dicey wildlife situations in their community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critter Control of New Bedford will be open Monday through Friday from 7:00am \u2013 6:00pm, and weekends from 8:00am \u2013 4:00pm. The franchise encourages anyone dealing with a wildlife issue to call them for a free, no obligation quote or inspection.
