Rodent Control & Wildlife Removal in Millbrae, CA

Rat removal and rodent control in Millbrae

Many Millbrae homes are mid-century, and after decades the crawl-space vents, garage doors and roof vents often have small gaps that rats and mice squeeze through. Near the Millbrae BART and Caltrain station and the busier areas close to SFO, rats live around commercial buildings and move into nearby homes and garages. On the hillside streets, roof rats use trees and fences to reach the roofline. We're an exterminator that traps instead of poisoning: we remove what's inside, then seal vents, eaves and pipe gaps. That sealing step is how you get rid of mice in a Millbrae home and keep them out. Signs to watch for include droppings in the garage, gnawed food packaging and scratching in the walls at night.

Wildlife removal in Millbrae

The west side of Millbrae borders the Peninsula watershed, a large protected open space. Animals that live there don't stop at the property line. Raccoons and skunks come into hillside yards, squirrels move through the trees, and coyotes are seen along the edge of open space. Snakes can turn up in yards that back onto brush. Lower in town, raccoons in attics and moles in lawns are more typical.

Neighborhoods and homes we work in

We work in the hillside neighborhoods on Millbrae's west side, where homes back onto the watershed, and in the flatter streets closer to El Camino Real and the station. On the hillside, we pay close attention to decks, crawl spaces and anything touching the open space. Closer to the station and SFO, we focus on garages, foundations and the gaps where utilities enter.

For Millbrae homes, the best prevention is simple: keep garage doors fully closed and sealed at the bottom, store pet food and birdseed in sealed bins, and trim shrubs and branches away from the house. On the hillside, clear brush back from decks and crawl-space openings so animals coming from the watershed have less cover. If you hear scratching in the walls or attic at night, call early, before a few rats become a colony.

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.
