Critter Block is Debug's wildlife control and exclusion service. When mice, rats, bats, or squirrels are getting into a home, bait alone only manages the problem. Sealing the way in solves it. That is the job: find every entry point, close it with clean, durable work, and handle the wildlife that is already inside.

We are growing Critter Block and expanding our trapping service, and we are adding an experienced wildlife and exclusion technician to the team. This is not an entry-level role. You have done this work before, you are at home on a ladder or a roofline, and you take pride in installations that look as good as they hold up.

Critter Block's busiest stretch runs through fall and winter, when rodents push indoors, so this is steady, year-round work.
