Rat removal and rodent control in Menlo Park
Menlo Park's neighborhoods range from the older homes of Allied Arts and the Willows to Sharon Heights in the hills and Belle Haven near the bay. What many of them share is heritage oaks and mature landscaping. Roof rats travel along oak branches, fences and ivy, then get into attics through roof vents and eaves. Near San Francisquito Creek, the shade, water and vegetation give rodents and wildlife a sheltered corridor right next to homes. Older homes also have worn crawl-space vents that let mice in. We're an exterminator that traps rather than poisons. We remove the rodents inside, then seal the roofline, attic and crawl space. That's the way to get rid of mice and rats for good.

Wildlife removal in Menlo Park
San Francisquito Creek is a natural travel route for raccoons and skunks, and homes near it see them often. Squirrels nest in the oaks and sometimes chew into attics. Moles are common in lawns, bats sometimes roost in attics, and coyotes and snakes are seen near Sharon Heights and the hills.

Neighborhoods and homes we work in
We work across Menlo Park, including Allied Arts, Sharon Heights, Belle Haven and the Willows. In Allied Arts and the Willows, older homes and big trees mean a lot of attic and crawl-space work; in Sharon Heights, we also look at decks and hillside foundations; in Belle Haven, we check garages and foundations.
To reduce rodent activity, trim oak branches away from the roof, cut ivy back from walls and fences, and pick up fallen fruit. If your home is near the creek, keep brush cleared and pet food indoors.
Common signs are droppings in the attic or garage, chewed fruit on backyard trees, and running sounds in the ceiling at night. In older homes, we often find more than one entry point, so a full inspection of the roof, attic and crawl space comes before any sealing.
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.

We've completed 25 rodent and wildlife jobs in Menlo Park (ZIP 94025). Most follow the same three steps: trap the animals inside, seal how they got in (foundation vents, pipe entry points, door seals, rooflines), then clean and sanitize the crawl space or attic they used.

Common questions
Do you serve Allied Arts, Sharon Heights and the Willows?
Yes. We serve every Menlo Park neighborhood, including Allied Arts, Sharon Heights, Belle Haven and the Willows.
Why do homes near San Francisquito Creek get raccoons?
The creek gives raccoons and skunks shelter, water and a path through the neighborhood, so nearby yards see them often.
How do I keep roof rats out of my Menlo Park attic?
Trap the rats inside, seal attic vents and eaves, and keep branches and ivy away from the house. Our sealing work carries a lifetime warranty.
How can I tell if I have rats or squirrels in my Menlo Park attic?
Rats are usually heard running at night and leave small dark droppings. Squirrels are more active in the daytime. We inspect the attic to confirm which animal it is before any work starts.
Do you clean up attics after rats in Menlo Park?
Yes. Once the rodents are out and the gaps are sealed, we can remove droppings, nesting and damaged insulation from the attic or crawl space.
Do you use poison in Menlo Park?
No. We never use poison or bait stations. We trap, seal and clean instead.
