Rat removal and rodent control in Redwood City
Redwood City is the San Mateo County seat, famous for its "Climate Best by Government Test" slogan. That mild climate is good for people and for rodents. Around downtown, older homes with crawl spaces and worn vents are common entry points, and the restaurants and shops nearby keep rat populations steady. Near the Port of Redwood City and the industrial areas by the bay, Norway rats are common. In Redwood Shores, the waterfront homes and condos along the lagoons see roof rats in the landscaping and Norway rats near the water. We're an exterminator that traps instead of poisoning, then seals every entry point. That's how to get rid of mice in a Redwood City home, whether it's a 1920s bungalow or a newer townhome.

Neighborhoods and homes we work in
We work in downtown neighborhoods, the hillside areas on the west side, homes near the Port, and the waterfront homes, townhomes and condos of Redwood Shores. Older downtown homes usually need attention at the crawl space and roofline; Redwood Shores homes often need sealing around garages, plumbing and landscaping.
Wherever you are in town, keep trash and pet food sealed, trim shrubs back from the walls, and check crawl-space vents and garage doors. If you're in a condo or townhome, let your HOA know about rodent activity so shared areas can be checked too.
Signs to watch for include droppings in the garage or under sinks, chewed wiring, and scratching in the walls or ceiling at night. In older homes, insulation in the crawl space is often damaged by the time the problem is noticed, so cleanup can be part of the job.
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.
