Rodent Control & Wildlife Removal in Emerald Lake Hills, CA

Rat removal and rodent control in Emerald Lake Hills

Emerald Lake Hills is an unincorporated hillside community around Emerald Lake, just west of Redwood City. The lots are steep and wooded, and many homes have tall decks, crawl spaces on the downhill side and long rooflines tucked under trees. Roof rats run through the tree canopy and drop onto roofs, while mice and rats find gaps under decks and in foundation vents. On a steep lot, a lot of the house's underside is hidden from view, which is why problems can go unnoticed. We're an exterminator that doesn't use poison, which matters with so much wildlife and so many pets nearby. We trap what's inside and seal everything we find. That's how to get rid of mice in a hillside home.

Wildlife removal in Emerald Lake Hills

The woods around Emerald Lake bring raccoons, skunks and squirrels right up to homes. Coyotes are seen in the hills, and snakes, including rattlesnakes, can turn up in dry brush. Bats sometimes roost in attics, and moles are common in yards. On these slopes, raccoons often climb from the trees straight onto the roof.

Neighborhoods and homes we work in

We work throughout Emerald Lake Hills, including the homes around the lake and on the steep streets above it. We pay close attention to the downhill side of each house, under decks and in crawl spaces, where rodents and wildlife often get in.

To protect a home here, trim trees away from the roof, keep brush cleared around the house, and check deck skirting for gaps. Store pet food and birdseed indoors. If you find a snake near the house, keep a safe distance and call us.

Common signs include droppings under the deck or in the crawl space, chewed insulation, and running sounds in the attic at night. During an inspection we walk the slope below the house as well as the roof, so nothing on the hidden side gets missed. We also check where trees touch the roofline, since those branches are usually how roof rats get up there. Then we explain what needs sealing before work starts.

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.
