A rodent inspection in Oakland is the walk that finds the real problem: what kind of rodent, how many, where they nest, and every way they are getting in. It is the foundation the whole plan is built on. Trapping and sealing only work when they target the actual routes, and the inspection is what maps them.
Call and describe what you are noticing, and an experienced technician sets up a full inspection of the home.
What the inspection covers
The technician walks the parts of the home rodents actually use. On hillside homes that means the attic, roofline, eaves, and vents where roof rats climb in. On the flats it means the crawl space, foundation, and vents where Norway rats and mice work low. The kitchen, utility penetrations, and yard round it out. Along the way the droppings, grease marks, gnawing, and runways get read to identify the species and locate the nest zones and entry points.
Why species identification matters
Roof rats, Norway rats, and mice each move differently, so the plan differs. Roof rats need the roofline and attic sealed and trapped up high; Norway rats need the foundation and crawl space; mice need the kitchen gaps and voids. An inspection that names the species and maps its routes is what keeps the work from being guesswork.
From inspection to plan
Once the inspection is done, you get a straight read on what you are dealing with and a plan for clearing it and sealing the home, with upfront pricing before any work begins. No mystery, no pressure, just the full picture so you can decide.
