Rodent Control

Is Your Home a Rodent’s New Hideaway?

It’s easy for rodents to sneak into your home undetected. Deer mice, house mice, rats, and other rodents are experts at finding ways into your property. From their ability to chew through walls to their knack for finding food, they quickly make themselves comfortable—often causing damage and leaving behind health hazards. At San Francisco Pest Management, we specialize in keeping rodents out and restoring peace to your home.

Meet the Rodents We Handle

Rodents come in all shapes and sizes, but they all share one thing in common—they’re unwelcome visitors. Here’s a quick look at the common culprits we deal with:

• Deer Mouse: Small but mighty, these mice are known to invade homes in search of warmth and shelter.
• House Mouse: Sneaky and fast, house mice are adept at nesting inside your walls and causing chaos.
• Mole: While they live underground, moles can quickly damage gardens and lawns with their tunnels.
• Norway Rat: Large, burrowing rats that cause damage and can be tough to control on your own.
• Roof Rat: These agile climbers often settle in attics or high spaces, causing property damage and spreading disease.
• Shrew: Though smaller, shrews are highly active and can create nests inside your home.
• Vole: Known for destroying plants and gardens, voles burrow beneath the surface and can leave a trail of devastation.
• Chipmunk: Often found in gardens, chipmunks are cute but can quickly become a nuisance if they nest in your home.
• Gopher: These burrowing rodents damage lawns, gardens, and even your foundation with their relentless tunneling.

At San Francisco Pest Management, we know how to tackle each rodent’s unique behavior and eliminate them effectively.

How We Put an End to Rodent Intrusions?

Rodent control is not one-size-fits-all. Here’s how we tackle the problem:

• Thorough Inspection: We assess the infestation, locate entry points, and identify damage.
• Tailored Treatment Plan: Based on our findings, we create a custom solution targeting the root cause.
• Humane Extermination: We use traps, baits, and eco-friendly methods to eliminate rodents safely.
• Rodent-Proofing: After removal, we seal entry points to prevent future infestations.

Our goal isn’t just to remove rodents—it’s to keep them out for good.

Powerful Rodent Control Methods We Use

Our team uses advanced and eco-conscious methods to eradicate rodents from your home, including:

• Targeted Traps: We use discreet traps that capture rodents without causing harm, relocating them far from your property.
• Bait Stations: Strategically placed bait stations ensure rodents are lured in and eliminated without risking exposure to children or pets.
• Exclusion Techniques: Sealing cracks, gaps, and holes in your walls, foundation, and roof is crucial to prevent future infestations.
• Repellents: For sensitive environments, we apply non-toxic, natural repellents to keep rodents at bay.
• Physical Barriers: In high-risk areas like attics and basements, we set up barriers that keep rodents from accessing these vulnerable spaces.

Each step of the process is designed to restore peace and safety to your home, with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Why Rodents Are More Than Just a Nuisance

Rodents are silent invaders, and if left unchecked, they can cause severe damage and health risks:

• Health Hazards: Rodents carry diseases like leptospirosis, hantavirus, and salmonella, all of which can spread through their droppings, urine, and saliva. They also introduce allergens that can trigger respiratory problems or asthma.
• Structural Damage: Rats and mice chew on insulation, wires, and wood—this could lead to fire hazards, costly repairs, and property loss.
• Food Contamination: Rodents are notorious for contaminating food supplies with their droppings and urine, putting your family’s health at risk.
• Chewing on Belongings: Rodents often gnaw on furniture, electrical cords, and personal items, leaving destruction in their wake.

Rodents are a problem that can quickly escalate, and the best way to protect your home is to act before they cause further harm.

Where Do Rodents Live and Why Should You Be Concerned?

Rodents are versatile creatures that can live just about anywhere, but they often choose areas that provide food, water, and shelter. Here’s where you’ll often find them:

• Attics and Basements: These quiet, hidden areas make great nesting sites for rodents. The dark and damp spaces offer them the perfect environment to breed and hide.
• Wall Cavities and Ceilings: Mice, rats, and other rodents can easily burrow into your walls, building nests in the insulation or between beams.
• Underground Tunnels: Moles, voles, and gophers prefer underground burrows where they can damage lawns and garden roots.
• Kitchens and Pantry Areas: Rodents are attracted to food sources, so your kitchen is a prime target. They can also nest inside your pantry and contaminate your food.

Understanding where rodents live helps you recognize the importance of professional intervention to handle the problem before it spreads.

Spot the Signs of Rodents Before They Take Over

Don’t wait for a full infestation—watch for these signs that it’s time to call the experts:

• Noises at Night: Scratching or scurrying in walls, attic, or ceiling.
• Droppings & Urine: Found near food or hidden in corners.
• Gnaw Marks: Chewing on wires, furniture, or walls.
• Nests: Made of paper, fabric, or insulation.
• Unexplained Holes: Small openings in walls, floors, or baseboards.
