Rodent Control & Wildlife Removal in West Menlo Park, CA

Rat removal and rodent control in West Menlo Park

West Menlo Park is an unincorporated neighborhood near Alameda de las Pulgas and Sand Hill Road, close to Stanford lands. Most homes are ranch-style on tree-filled lots. Ranch homes have long, low rooflines and wide attics, and when tree branches hang over the roof, roof rats can reach almost any part of it. Many of these homes also have crawl spaces with foundation vents that wear out over time. We're an exterminator that relies on trapping and sealing rather than poison. We trap the rodents inside, then seal the eaves, roof vents and crawl space. Closing those gaps is how to get rid of mice in a ranch-style home and keep them out.

Wildlife removal in West Menlo Park

With Stanford's open lands nearby and plenty of trees, raccoons, skunks and squirrels are common in West Menlo Park yards. Moles work through lawns and gardens, and coyotes are seen in the area. Bats sometimes roost in attics. Squirrels in tall trees often chew into roof vents on ranch homes, and their noise in the attic is easy to confuse with rats.

Neighborhoods and homes we work in

We work throughout West Menlo Park, on the streets around Alameda de las Pulgas and near Sand Hill Road. On ranch-style homes, we check the full length of the roofline and the attic, as well as the crawl space underneath.

The simplest prevention is trimming branches back from the roof. Also keep ivy off fences near the house, store pet food indoors and pick up fallen fruit. If you hear running in the attic at night, it's usually roof rats.

Signs to watch for include droppings in the attic or garage, chewed insulation, gnawed fruit in the yard, and running sounds overhead at night. During an inspection, we walk the full roofline and check every vent, then go into the attic and crawl space. Long ranch-style rooflines often have several small gaps rather than one big one, and each needs to be closed. 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.
