Rodent Control & Wildlife Removal in Belmont, CA

Rat removal and rodent control in Belmont

Belmont is a hillside city, with homes climbing up from El Camino Real into wooded canyons and open space such as the area around Waterdog Lake. Hillside homes often have decks on stilts, tall crawl spaces and retaining walls, all of which give rats and mice places to hide and test for gaps. Roof rats move through the oaks and shrubs onto rooflines, while mice slip in through crawl-space vents and around utility lines. A home on a steep lot can have more exposed foundation than you'd expect. As an exterminator that doesn't use poison, we trap what's inside and seal every opening, under the deck and up at the roof. That's the reliable way to get rid of mice in a Belmont hillside home.

Wildlife removal in Belmont

The canyons and open space bring raccoons, skunks and squirrels close to homes, and coyotes are seen near the trails around Waterdog Lake. Snakes, including the occasional rattlesnake in dry brush, can turn up on hillside lots. Moles are common in lawns, and bats sometimes roost in attics. Raccoons on Belmont's hillsides often move into the space under tall decks, and once they leave, that opening needs to be closed so the next family doesn't move in.

Neighborhoods and homes we work in

We work all over Belmont, from the flatter streets near El Camino Real and the area around Ralston Hall on the Notre Dame de Namur University campus to the hillside neighborhoods next to the canyons. On hillside lots, we spend extra time under decks and in crawl spaces.

Prevention here starts with clearing brush and woodpiles back from the house, especially on the canyon side. Check deck skirting for gaps, keep pet food indoors, and trim branches off the roof. If you find a snake near the house, keep your distance and call us rather than handling it.

Signs we see most in Belmont are droppings under decks and in crawl spaces, chewed insulation in the attic, and scratching in the walls at night. Because hillside homes have so much hidden space underneath, an inspection here always includes crawling the full underside of the house and checking each deck support for gaps.

Had a free county rodent inspection? We do the sealing.

The San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control District offers free rodent inspections to county residents, but it doesn't do trapping or exclusion work on homes. If they've shown you where rodents are getting in, we trap what's inside and seal every gap they found, backed by our lifetime warranty.
