Oakland rodent specialists
Rats and mice are the whole job, not a sideline
Choosing who to call for a rodent problem matters. A rodent-only approach means the inspection, trapping, and sealing are built around how roof rats and mice actually move through an Oakland home, from the fruit trees and fence lines to the attic, crawl space, and roofline, instead of being squeezed in around a general pest route. You get an experienced technician, a clear plan, and honest pricing before any work begins.

Built around your home
A plan for the way Oakland is built
Hillside homes with attics and decks, older bungalows and Victorians, mature fruit trees, and a mild climate give roof rats and mice their own set of routes. We inspect, assess, and treat the problem the way your block is actually built, then seal the entry points so it does not come straight back.
Call 510-288-7148Know the signs
Signs of rats or mice in your home
Rodents leave a specific trail. If any of these sound familiar, it is worth a call before the population grows.
Scratching in the attic or walls
A scratch, gnaw, or scurry overhead or inside the walls after dark usually means roof rats or mice are moving through the attic, joists, or wall voids.
Droppings in the kitchen or garage
Dark, tapered pellets in the pantry, under the sink, along the baseboards, or in the garage are a sign rodents are feeding and traveling a set path.
Gnaw marks on wires and wood
Fresh chew marks on wiring, joists, or food packaging point to an active rodent problem and a real fire and damage risk.
Rats in the fruit trees or fence lines
Roof rats travel fence tops, power lines, and fruit trees at dusk in Oakland, then slip into the attic through the roofline and eaves.
A musty, ammonia smell
A heavy, musky odor in the attic, wall, or crawl space usually means a nest, urine buildup, or a rodent that has died in a hidden spot.
Grease trails and runways
Rats and mice follow the same routes every night and leave dark, oily rub marks where their fur drags along beams, pipes, and edges.
Get them out, keep them out
Trapping clears them. Sealing keeps them out.
A rodent-only plan does two things at once: it knocks the roof rat and mouse population down, then seals the crawl-space vents, utility gaps, and rooflines so the next ones cannot follow the same path in. One without the other never holds.

A local team that works rodents all day
Choosing who to call matters. Here is what you get with a rodent-only approach built for the way Oakland and the East Bay are actually built.
A rodent-only focus
Rats and mice are the whole job here, so the inspection, trapping, and sealing are built around how rodents actually move through an Oakland home, not squeezed in around a general pest route.
Built for East Bay homes
Hillside houses, mature fruit trees, older bungalows, and warm winters give roof rats and mice their own set of routes. The plan is set up for the way Oakland is actually built.
Get out, keep out
Trapping clears the rodents you have. Sealing the foundation, crawl-space vents, and rooflines is what keeps the next ones from following the same path back in.
Honest, upfront pricing
You get a clear plan and no-surprise pricing before any work begins, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you.
Day-or-night help
Rodents are most active after dark, which is exactly when most people hear them. Call any hour and describe what is going on, seven days a week.
Homes and businesses

A clear plan
How rodent control works, step by step
No mystery and no runaround. Here is the path from the first call to a rodent-free, sealed-up home.
Call and describe the problem
Tell us what you are hearing and where. You get straight rodent advice on the phone and a plan for the next step, day or night.
Full inspection
An experienced rodent technician walks the attic, foundation, roofline, and yard to find the nest zones, the runways, and every way in.
Trap, remove, and treat
Traps go on the active runways, the rat and mouse population gets knocked down, and the work is monitored until the activity stops.
Seal and prevent
The foundation gaps, crawl-space vents, utility penetrations, and rooflines that let rodents in get sealed so the problem does not come straight back.
Rodent-only, Oakland-focused
One job, done right: get the rodents out and keep them out
We do not spray for ants and tack rodents on at the end. Roof rats, Norway rats, and mice are the whole focus, so your home gets an inspection that reads the real routes, trapping that targets them, and sealing that holds. Call and describe what you are hearing.

Good to know
Rodent control questions Oakland homeowners ask
How much does rodent control cost in Oakland?
The price depends on whether you are dealing with roof rats, Norway rats, mice, or a mix, how far they have spread, and how much sealing the home needs to keep them out. After an inspection you get upfront, no-surprise pricing before any work starts, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you.
Do I have roof rats or mice?
Roof rats are strong climbers that work the attic, fruit trees, and rooflines, leave larger droppings, and make a heavier scratching overhead, while mice are smaller, leave rice-sized droppings, and tend to stay close to the kitchen and pantry. A quick inspection settles which one you are dealing with and points the work in the right direction.
Why does Oakland have so many roof rats?
The Bay Area climate is mild year-round, and Oakland is full of fruit trees, dense landscaping, wood fences, and hillside homes with attics and crawl spaces. That gives roof rats food, cover, and easy highways along fence tops and utility lines straight into the roofline. Sealing those routes is the part that keeps them from coming back.
How are rodents getting into my house?
Roof rats climb in high through the roofline, eaves, vents, and gaps where utility lines enter, while mice slip through openings as small as a dime around pipes, vents, and door sweeps. An inspection maps the exact entry points so trapping and sealing target the real routes, not guesses.
Are the rodents in my home dangerous?
Rats and mice gnaw wiring, which is a real fire risk, and they contaminate insulation, counters, and food with urine and droppings that carry disease. They also breed fast, so a small problem can turn into a full infestation. That is why it pays to act on the first signs instead of waiting.
How fast can someone come out?
Call and describe what you are hearing and a plan gets set right away, day or night. For a rat or mouse loose in the living space, ask about emergency rodent removal so the situation gets handled quickly.
