Keep Mice Out Of Your San Francisco Bay Area Home Or Business

Of all the pests that might invade your Bay Area property, mice are some of the worst. Although you could argue that mice are one of the cuter pests that invade homes and business in our area, that doesn’t make up for the number of problems that they cause once inside.
A mouse infestation can lead to serious damage to your belongings or inventory, food items, and the structure itself. The problems don’t stop there! Not only can these rodents cause structural damage and contaminate food, but mice also carry many pathogens that can cause illnesses and often bring parasites such as fleas and ticks in with them too.
If mice have invaded your house or commercial property, it won’t be long before they make their presence known. Once they do, it’s important to take immediate action to get them out as quickly as possible. Mice are rapid breeders, and the longer they are allowed to stay in your home or business, the more damage they’ll do.
Smith’s Pest Management offers mice control services to remove and prevent mice infestations.
1
Mouse Inspections
We begin our mice control process with a thorough property evaluation. During this inspection, we’ll locate harborage areas, feeding areas, and access points into your home. Once we know where the mice are spending their time and how they’re getting inside, we’ll develop a treatment plan to eliminate the infestation.
2
Mouse Control Treatments
Our treatment begins with a cleanout to get rid of the mice in your home or business. We’ll set traps that we put in strategic locations based on our findings during our inspection. These traps get checked several times a week during the initial cleanout, then weekly after that.
In some instances, we will also set out bait. We’ll check this every month or more frequently as the mouse population requires.
3
Exclusion Work
Following the cleanout, you’ll need to seal your home or business to help prevent future mouse infestations. We offer exclusion work to close the access points that mice were using to gain access inside. This warrantied service is available for all floor levels of your building.
Sanitation Services
We also offer sanitation services to clean out the areas where mice harbored in your structure. Even after they’re eliminated, mice can still cause problems and present a threat to your health through the waste they’ve left behind. We provide a variety of services to make your home or business clean and healthy again.
These include:
- Removing soiled insulation and replacing it with new TAP insulation
- Steam cleaning
- Disinfecting
- Sanitizing

FAQ
Mice leave small, rod-like droppings with pointed ends (about ¼ inch long), chew marks on furniture or food packaging, and even small gnawed holes in walls as they search for nesting materials.
Other signs include scattered crumbs, greasy smudges on walls, and scratch marks near baseboards. If you hear scratching noises or notice unusual pet behavior, mice might be hiding nearby.
Mice can chew through wires, insulation, and furniture, leading to structural damage, electrical issues, and potential fire hazards. They can also contaminate food and surfaces with droppings, urine, and the diseases they carry, like salmonella.
Mice reproduce quickly, so the longer they’re around, the more damage they cause, including attracting parasites like fleas and ticks.
Keeping mice out starts with removing food and shelter. Store food in sealed containers, clean up crumbs, and remove clutter that could make ideal nesting spots.
Keep shrubs trimmed away from your home, and seal any gaps or holes around doors, windows, and your home’s foundation. Good hygiene, routine inspections, and quick disposal of trash are essential to keeping mice from settling in.
The cost for professional mouse control depends on the extent of the infestation and the services required to solve it. For a free, no-obligation quote, call us at (408) 871-6988. Our team can assess your property and recommend options to suit your needs.
