About the Owner

Originally from rural eastern Montana, Jason moved to North Idaho in 2001 and has called the area home ever since. With a lifelong appreciation for wildlife and the outdoors, he started Panhandle Critter Gitter in 2017 to provide professional wildlife control services to homeowners and businesses throughout North Idaho.

Over the years, Jason has built the business around practical solutions, honest service, and treating each property with care and respect. He takes pride in providing straightforward advice and helping customers find effective solutions to their wildlife problems.

Outside of work, Jason enjoys hunting, spending time outdoors, and spending time with his family. As the owner of a locally operated business, he is proud to serve the North Idaho communities he has called home for more than 25 years.

Why Choose Panhandle Critter Gitter?

Many companies remove the animal and leave the repairs to someone else. We believe the most effective solution is to address both the wildlife problem and the damage it caused.

By combining wildlife removal, exclusion, and repair services, we provide a complete solution that saves our customers time, reduces future risks, and helps protect their investment.

All exclusion and repair work is performed to a professional standard and backed by our workmanship guarantee.

If you’re experiencing a wildlife problem in North Idaho, contact Panhandle Critter Gitter today to schedule an inspection.

      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great response time. Friendly, professional, and quite skilled. We battled gophers for years (and wasted a ton of money) until we found the Critter Gitter…not a gopher in sight literally overnight! Great price and worth every penny!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a raccoon issue and called Critter Gitter. We got a call back immediately from Jason,  and he came out promptly. We appreciate his professionalism and clear explanations. He's very reasonably priced. And while we hope we never have a small animal problem again,  we'll call Critter Gitter first if we do.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a multi repeat cutomer for 4+ years, I feel I am qualified to strongly recommend this quality, family run, local business.  We have used Jason and Abby for skunks, bats, otters, and racoons. They are knowledgeable, professional, conscious of humane trapping, and just darn good folks!   Watching all that is involved in successfull trapping, and the equipment used,  PCG is reasonably priced and gets results.  Obviously strongly recommend!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jason and Abby are a GREAT team.   Very professional business and very knowledgeable in animal control.  This is the second time for me to use their services and I won’t hesitate to call upon them again.   5 star service all around and came out immediately after I called.  They caught many skunks living under my home (and they are not easy to catch ).  Excellent communication to me during this process.    Thank you so much for the work you have done.  Now I can enjoy my home worry and smell free - lol!!!!
