Our Pest Control Services
Mice & Rats
We start with smart monitoring, using non-toxic bait or remote sensing Bluetooth technology to track where rodents are active.
Once we trap and remove them, we seal their entry points, reduce attractants like food and clutter and check activity over time.
Gophers
We locate and expose part of their tunnel system, then set professional-grade stainless steel traps. Each trap site is flagged and monitored for activity. Unlike poisons, our trapping method is faster, safer for the environment, and more targeted.
We return for follow-up visits to remove trapped gophers and re-set traps until the problem is fully resolved. When necessary, we also use carbon dioxide to target gophers from deep, active tunnels.
Moles
We trap moles by targeting their main tunnels—no poison used.
To prevent future activity, we offer grub control treatments and recommend gopher baskets or underground wire to protect key areas.
Voles
We inspect for vole runways and damage, then build a plan using trapping, AB2552-compliant bait, or carbon monoxide fumigation.
Traps are secured, flagged, and checked regularly. We focus on humane, eco-friendly control and may recommend habitat changes to keep voles from coming back.
Ground Squirrels
We inspect for burrows and damage, then use trapping, fumigation, or safe bait stations to remove squirrels.
We check traps daily and refill bait as needed. If needed, we recommend barriers or screening to keep them out. Ongoing plans are available for long-term control.
Ants
We use low-profile bait stations instead of spray.
These work quietly and efficiently—no fuss, no disruption. We also look outside for food sources and moisture that bring them in.
Cockroaches
We apply growth regulators and discreet sprays that avoid alarming people in the space.
We trace their path and focus on real elimination, not just killing the visible ones.
Wasps
We use dust instead of spray to handle nests quickly and with precision. It’s cleaner, safer, and gives people peace of mind.

A Note from Zach, Founder of Smith's Pest Management
” If you’re managing commercial space – whether you’re a facility manager, property manager, or overseeing operations – pest issues land on your desk. When ants keep showing up in break rooms, when mice get bold enough to dart across a hallway, or when that one roach becomes ten – your vendor’s “escalation process” doesn’t mean much.
The truth is most nationwide pest vendors are slow to respond, slow to solve, and too far removed to care. You don’t have time to wait for their “regional expert” to fly in next week.
You need someone now who gets the situation, understands the biology, and can fix it—before your client calls someone else and your job is on the line. That’s where we come in.
At Smith’s Pest Management, we’re local to the Bay Area, and we specialize in helping commercial facilities like yours stay pest-free with proactive, eco-friendly, effective pest control. I personally walk the sites when it matters.
If there’s a rodent issue that keeps coming back or an ant problem no one can solve, I’m on it. Diagnosing problems is what I love – and we don’t leave until it’s solved. You need more than a cookie-cutter service plan. You need results. We keep your clients happy, and you keep your job. That’s the deal. Pest problems can’t wait. Call us today! “
FAQ
It depends on your business type and how much foot traffic you get. Many busy locations do best with monthly service. We also offer bi-weekly, quarterly, or custom plans to fit your needs.
Yes, we handle urgent issues with one-time treatments. But to avoid pests coming back, we recommend ongoing service.
That’s not a problem. We use non-chemical options like traps, monitoring systems, and exclusion methods. We focus on prevention and work around your safety rules.
If you’re seeing pests, dealing with repeat issues, or work in food, healthcare, or hospitality, it’s time to call. A good pest control plan keeps your space safe and up to code.
Absolutely. They can ruin products, scare off customers, spread germs, and even cause shutdowns. Regular pest control helps you avoid all that and keeps your business running smoothly.
