Rodent Control in Bayview-Hunters Point

Bayview-Hunters Point is the city's southeast corner, bounded by Cesar Chavez, US 101, Bayview Hill and the bay, and strung along Third Street from India Basin to Candlestick Point. It has a long industrial history: the shipyard, slaughterhouses in what was called Butchertown, shrimping and power plants. The San Francisco Wholesale Produce Market has been on Jerrold Avenue since 1963.

Industry, food businesses and the bay shoreline next to homes give rats plenty to work with.

Homes Near Industry

Houses near warehouses, yards and food businesses see more Norway rats. They burrow along foundations and under debris and come into garages and basements. Keep the yard clear of junk piles and wood stacked on the ground, and have the garage door and foundation vents checked. See rat control.

• Burrows along fences and foundations
• Junk, lumber and debris piled in the yard
• Garage doors with gaps at the bottom

Warehouses and Food Businesses

Warehouses, distributors and food businesses need a regular commercial program: exterior stations, sealing at loading doors and a written service log. Garbage needs pest-proof containers with tight lids.
