Mouse Control in San Francisco for Homes That Stay Mouse-Free.

One mouse is almost never one mouse. A single pair can turn into dozens over a season, and mice stay close to food and warmth, which means kitchens, pantries, and wall voids. The longer they stay, the more droppings and gnaw damage you find.

A local technician identifies where the mice travel, sets control in the right spots, and seals the small openings they use. Mice need only a dime-sized hole, so the sealing has to be thorough and done by someone who knows where to look in an older San Francisco home.

What this service includes

• Inspection of kitchens, pantries, walls, and storage areas
• Placement of control along the runs mice actually use
• Sealing of dime-sized gaps around pipes, vents, and trim
• Guidance on food storage and sanitation to keep them out
• Follow-up to confirm the activity has stopped

Signs you need it

• Small dark droppings in drawers, cabinets, or pantries
• A faint musky smell in enclosed spaces
• Shredded paper, fabric, or insulation used for nesting
• Gnaw marks on food packaging and box corners
• Scratching in the walls, lighter than a rat's

Why it is different in San Francisco

The cool, foggy climate keeps mice pushing indoors year round in San Francisco, and the city's older trim and plaster leave plenty of small gaps. A thorough seal is what separates a fix that lasts from one that fails by next month.
