Rodent Control & Rat Removal in Northern California
Rats and mice aren’t just a nuisance — they’re a genuine health and safety hazard. They chew through wiring (a leading cause of house fires), contaminate food, spread disease, and breed fast. One pair of mice can produce hundreds of offspring in a single year. Hunter’s Pest Control stops infestations at the source and keeps your home sealed against future invasions.
Signs You Have a Rodent Problem
Rodents are nocturnal and secretive by nature, which means an infestation can grow significantly before you see a single mouse or rat. Watch for these warning signs:
-
Droppings along walls, in cabinets, under the sink, or near food storage areas
-
Gnaw marks on food packaging, wood trim, wiring, or insulation
-
Scratching, squeaking, or scurrying sounds inside walls or ceilings at night
-
Nesting materials: shredded paper, insulation, or fabric in hidden corners
-
Grease marks or rub trails along walls or baseboards from repeated travel routes
-
A musty or urine-like odor in enclosed spaces
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s time to act. Rodent problems do not resolve themselves.
Our Rodent Control Process
Step 1: Thorough Inspection First
We start with a thorough inspection of your home or property to identify where rodents are entering, where they’re nesting, and how severe the infestation is. In Northern California, common entry points include gaps in siding, roof vents, crawl space openings, and anywhere pipes or wires enter the structure.
Step 2: Removal & Elimination
We deploy targeted removal methods appropriate for your home and the severity of the infestation. Our technicians are trained to use these methods in a way that is effective and minimizes risk to children, pets, and non-target wildlife.
Step 3: Exclusion — The Key to Long-Term Control
Trapping without exclusion is a temporary fix. Hunter’s goes further by sealing the entry points rodents are using to get in. This exclusion work is what separates a one-time treatment from a lasting solution. We’ll identify and seal gaps, cracks, and openings around your foundation, roofline, utility penetrations, and vents.
Prevention Recommendations
Before we leave, we’ll walk you through practical, easy steps to make your property less attractive to rodents — from storing food properly to trimming vegetation away from your home’s exterior. Small changes make a big difference.
Serving Homes and Businesses
Rodents are just as damaging — and just as common — in commercial settings as residential ones. Hunter’s provides rodent control for restaurants, warehouses, agricultural properties, rental properties, and more. We work discreetly and on a schedule that minimizes disruption to your business.

Hunters Services has taken over pest control and pigeon abatement at our commercial building; they set up nets over our solar panels and cleaned the entire roof of debris; the pigeon problem was completely solved within the first week. Pest control is each month like clockwork. They are on time, on budget and always professional and courteous. I couldn't ask for better service.

Hunter's did an excellent job completing several big projects for us over the past year. We had significant termite damage and dry rot in our crawlspace. They were thorough and honest in the work. Kenia who coordinated the work was especially friendly and responsive. Cory who oversees the work took the time to talk with me on the phone several times to answer my questions and discuss options for repairs at a cost we could afford. Most recently they installed a dryer vent pipe and an additional vent for the crawlspace. Even when at times, I questioned the work they were responsive and friendly, never defensive or difficult. I give five stars for customer service. I also appreciated that they were willing to come all the way to Portola, an area where many service providers decline to travel to. Thank you to the team at Hunter's!

HUNTERS is my pest company, but above and beyond that I had wood ant infestations, wasp nest, some termite damage and dry rot on lower part of house and roof line from winter snow damage through the years of ownership. I can not praise HUNTERS enough for the SUPERIOR repairs they made on all items!! I am so pleased with the results and the price they charged was very fair. I don’t have to think twice when I say “HUNTERS SERVICES ARE YOUR BEST CHOICE!!”
