I had an excellent experience with this company for a dead animal removal service. Their team responded promptly, handled the situation professionally, and ensured the area was completely sanitized. The technicians were courteous, efficient, and highly knowledgeable. I’m very satisfied with the service and would strongly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable pest or wildlife control.

Juan is the real deal. No games, no expensive sales pitch, honest work, and fair pricing.
I had a rat problem in my attic and needed it fixed ASAP. A lot of companies that advertise rodent proofing that you'll call are actually attic insulation companies that will sell you on removing all of your old insulation and redoing it and then in the process they'll seal any access points in the attic and say they rodent proofed your house, all while charging you easily over $5k. Then there are some companies that indeed do rodent proofing, but somehow think the service is worth upwards of $4/5k.
Rodent proofing is actually a simple concept: you go into the attic, crawl space and the roof to find any entry points for rats/mice and seal them off. Then you set traps in the those areas and schedule checks to catch any mice/rats that were already inside/check if the rodent proofing is actually working. The goal is to not catch any rodents after the proofing is done and all the rodents that were already in the house have been caught. The existing feces should be removed and the spaces should be sanitized as well.
Juan rodent proofed my house by first going into the attic and crawl space and taking thorough pictures as evidence of the extent of the rodent activity and he even took pics of obvious entry points that needed to be sealed. He then gave me a quote for the whole process and promised by the end I wouldn't have rodents and that he would come back to check the traps periodically to make sure all was good. All this for a fraction of the cost of what the other companies were trying to gouge me for. His price was actually in line with the amount of time he was going to spend doing the work and the scope of the work, it wasn't an astronomical number meant to take advantage of my situation.
It's been over a month now since the rodent proofing and I can confidently say I am rodent free and I know that if I ever have any issues within the warranty period, Juan will be there to help. He takes pride in his job and is very easy to work with. I'm also happy I can support an honest, hardworking businessman rather than some of the other companies that are just trying to take advantage of people. Thanks so much Juan, wish you all the best!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our pricing depends on the size and condition of the property, the severity of the rodent issue, and the amount of exclusion, trapping, cleanup, and disinfection needed. We provide a clear estimate before starting any work, so you know what to expect. Our goal is to provide a long-term solution by sealing entry points and removing the existing rodent problem—not just setting traps and leaving the underlying issue unresolved.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a thorough and free inspection of the property to identify signs of rodent activity and locate possible entry points. We then explain our findings and recommend the best solution based on the condition of the property. Depending on the situation, our service may include rodent exclusion and proofing, trapping, cleanup, and disinfection. We focus on sealing the areas rats are using to get inside while addressing the rodents already inside, helping provide a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
We have more than 5 years of hands-on experience in the rodent control field, specializing in rat and rodent exclusion, trapping, entry-point identification, cleanup, and disinfection. Our experience working on homes
throughout the Bay Area has given us extensive practical knowledge of rodent behavior, common entry points, and effective methods for preventing rodents from returning. We stay focused on safe, thorough, and long-lasting solutions for every property we service.
