Rodent Control in The Bay Area

No matter the size of the infestation, our rodent exterminators have the tools and knowledge to swiftly handle it, making your home rodent-free in no time. We also offer exclusion and repair services, clean-up work, and insulation repairs if needed. By the time we’re finished, it’ll feel like rodents were never there.

When you partner with us for rodent control, we will:

  • Conduct an inspection to pinpoint where the infestation is located and look for entry points.
  • Set up traps the same day, placing them in high-activity areas such as attics, basements, and more that are out of reach from kids and pets.
  • Schedule a follow-up appointment 3-5 days after our initial visit to check and replace traps as needed.
  • Provide you with a diagram of your home that highlights all entry points and places that need repairs. The diagram will include an estimate for any necessary exclusion work, clean-out work, re-insulating work, and or vapor-barrier replacement if needed.
  • Give you our one-year guarantee on our exclusion work, so you don’t have to worry about rodents re-infesting your home.

Contact our rodent removal experts today to get started and take the first step toward a rodent-free property once again!

Protect Your Family with Our Rodent Removal Service

Sharing your home with rodents is uncomfortable and hazardous to your health. Rats and mice carry dozens of diseases that can be transmitted to your family and pets, such as hantavirus, salmonella, and tularemia. They can also contaminate your food, trigger asthma and allergies, destroy furniture, and even put you at risk of an electrical fire by chewing through wires. Rather than put your loved ones and home in jeopardy, trust Crown & Shield Pest Solutions for effective rodent control.

Signs of a Rodent Infestation

Their elusive nature makes it difficult to determine whether or not you have a rodent infestation. These pests are nocturnal, like to make their nests in hard-to-reach places, and prefer to stay away from humans as much as possible. While you may not actually see a rat or mouse, there are other signs of a rodent infestation to look for, including:

  • Gnaw marks: Their teeth are constantly growing, so rodents will chew on anything in reach, from food packaging to baseboards to furniture.
  • Droppings: Rodent droppings resemble black grains of rice and are often in cabinets, closets, and pantries.
  • Foul odor: Strong, musky odors that don’t have a discernible source can be caused by rodent urine and droppings.
  • Noise: Scratching in the walls is the most obvious and most annoying indication that there are rodents present.
  • Smudge marks: Rodents often bump into objects as they travel, leaving behind smudges caused by the oil and dirt in their fur.

This is a great company comprised of people that are true professionals and, equally important, really good people. The current ownership purchased the operation approximately 3 years ago. We had been a longtime customer prior, and the new folks, headed up by Chris and Aurora, have taken a good company and made it that much better. Great work, very fair pricing, and ALWAYS responsive when you need them. I’d give them 6 stars if it were an option.

All Crown & Shield staff, the folks at the main office and the technicians who come to our home, are very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough. They're almost always able to squeeze us in for last minute or same day appointments if a new issue comes up. They tolerate my endless questions, charge a fair price, share helpful tips and best practices, and (most importantly!) have helped clear up the pest issues in our house -- ants and mice. Special shoutouts and thanks go to Peter, David, Aurora, and Stephania in particular.
