Our Humane Rodent Control Process

Since 2009, Smith’s Pest Management has been the Bay Area’s trusted leader in rat and mouse control.

Here’s what you can expect from us:

1

Inspection

Our Bay Area rodent control experts start with a full inspection of your property.

We locate nesting areas, droppings, gnaw marks, and entry points in attics, basements, crawl spaces, and walls.

This allows us to confirm whether you’re dealing with rats, mice, or both, and determine the size of the infestation.

2

Management Plan

Next, we create a detailed rodent control plan tailored to your home or business.

The plan outlines the most effective treatment methods, identifies key access points to seal, and includes recommendations for sanitation or storage improvements.

We focus on long-term prevention, not just removal.

3

Implementation

Once approved, our licensed technicians carry out the plan using proven, eco-friendly control methods.

We place traps, seal entry points, and eliminate nesting sites to remove the infestation completely.

Finally, we perform a follow-up check to make sure your property stays protected.

All services are backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Our Rodent Control Methods

Trapping
Smith’s Pest Management is licensed by the State of California to trap rats and mice safely and humanely.

We determine the right number and placement of traps based on your property layout and level of rodent activity.

Each trap is checked regularly to ensure quick, humane removal and full compliance with state standards.
Baiting
To eliminate active rodent populations, we sometimes use tamper-resistant bait stations placed strategically indoors and outdoors.

Once the infestation is resolved, our team returns to remove all bait stations and verify that your property remains rodent-free.
Exclusion
Whenever possible, we use rodent exclusion techniques to prevent re-entry.

This may include sealing gaps, repairing vents, installing door sweeps, and reinforcing crawl spaces or foundation openings.

Exclusion is one of the most effective ways to stop future infestations and protect your property long-term.
Repellents
We use eco-friendly, natural repellents to keep rats and mice away from your home or business.

These plant-based products create a scent barrier that deters rodents without harming pets, people, or the environment.

FAQ

House mice, roof rats, and Norway rats are the most common species in Northern California.

Roof rats tend to nest in attics and trees, Norway rats burrow in basements or under foundations, and house mice prefer walls, pantries, and storage areas.

Minor infestations may be resolved within a week, while larger colonies can take several weeks to eliminate completely.

Long-term success also depends on sealing entry points and removing food sources.

They can if the property isn’t secured. That’s why we combine extermination with exclusion and prevention to ensure they don’t return.

Yes. We use eco-friendly products and tamper-resistant equipment designed for safety around children and animals.
