Rodent Control & Wildlife Removal in Montara, CA

Rat removal and rodent control in Montara

Montara is a coastside community below Montara Mountain, near Montara State Beach and the Point Montara Lighthouse. Fog rolls in often, and the damp air wears down vent screens, siding and decks. Open hillsides come right down to many homes, so when the weather turns cold and wet, rats and mice look for dry crawl spaces and attics. We're a no-poison exterminator. We trap the rodents inside, then seal crawl-space vents, foundations and rooflines with materials that hold up in salt air. If you're trying to get rid of mice in a coastal home, sealing is the step that makes it last.

Wildlife removal in Montara

With open hillsides and Montara Mountain nearby, wildlife is part of life here. Raccoons and skunks den under decks and crawl spaces, squirrels move through the trees, and moles work through yards. Coyotes are seen on the coastside, and snakes can turn up near brush. On the coast, raccoons and skunks often move under decks and into crawl spaces in winter, looking for a dry place to den. Once they're out, we close the opening with heavy mesh so they can't return.

Neighborhoods and homes we work in

We work throughout Montara, from homes near the beach and the lighthouse to those higher up toward Montara Mountain. In this damp climate, we pay close attention to rotted wood, corroded vent screens and deck framing.

To protect your home, fix rot and damaged vent screens before winter, keep brush and woodpiles away from the walls, and store pet food and garbage in sealed containers. A fall check of the crawl space is worth it on the coast.

Signs to watch for include droppings in the crawl space or garage, chewed insulation, and scratching in the walls when the weather turns cold. During an inspection, we check the whole house, including decks and crawl spaces exposed to wind and fog. Coastal homes often have several small gaps where wood has softened or screens have rusted through, and each one needs to be sealed. We explain what we found and what needs sealing before any 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.
