Bay Area’s
#1 Rodent Exclusion Specialists

Santa Rosa homeowners deal with rodent problems year-round. Between the city’s mild climate, mature trees, older neighborhoods, and proximity to vineyards, open space, and agricultural land, rats and mice have plenty of opportunities to find food, water, and shelter. If you are hearing scratching in the attic, finding droppings in the garage, noticing chewed wires, or smelling unusual odors in your crawlspace, you may have a rodent infestation that requires immediate attention.

Done Right Rodent Proofing provides professional rat extermination, rodent removal, and rodent proofing services throughout Santa Rosa and Sonoma County. We do more than simply remove rats. We identify how they entered your property and permanently seal those entry points using construction-grade materials backed by our 3-year guarantee.

Why Rats Are Common in Santa Rosa

Santa Rosa’s environment creates ideal conditions for roof rats and other rodents. Properties throughout the city often feature mature landscaping, fruit trees, dense vegetation, and easy access to attic spaces. Neighborhoods such as McDonald Historic District, Proctor Terrace, Bennett Valley, Rincon Valley, and Railroad Square frequently experience rodent activity due to older construction methods and aging building materials.

Many homes contain small openings around rooflines, attic vents, crawlspace foundations, plumbing penetrations, and utility connections. A rat can squeeze through an opening as small as a quarter. Once inside, rodents often nest in attics, wall voids, crawlspaces, and garages.

Rodents can cause significant damage by:

  • Chewing electrical wiring
  • Destroying attic insulation
  • Contaminating surfaces with droppings and urine
  • Damaging HVAC ductwork
  • Creating foul odors
  • Introducing fleas, mites, and other parasites

Why We Do Not Use Rodent Poison

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that poison often creates additional problems.

Poisoned rodents frequently die inside walls, attics, and crawlspaces, creating unpleasant odors and attracting insects. Secondary poisoning can also impact pets, wildlife, and birds of prey.

Our exclusion-first approach focuses on solving the root cause of the infestation rather than temporarily reducing rodent populations.

Recent Rodent Issues We Commonly See in Santa Rosa

Many Santa Rosa homes near vineyards, creek corridors, and wooded areas experience recurring roof rat activity. We frequently find rodents entering homes through damaged attic vents, uncapped utility penetrations, loose roof flashing, and deteriorated crawlspace screens.

Properties near Spring Lake Regional Park, Howarth Park, and the surrounding hillside neighborhoods often experience increased rodent pressure due to nearby natural habitats.

WHY DONE RIGHT RODENT PROOFING

Our Rat
Extermination Process

Every Santa Rosa rodent control project begins with a comprehensive inspection.

Complete Property Inspection

We inspect the attic, crawlspace, roofline, foundation, exterior walls, garage, and surrounding landscape to identify active rodent activity and potential entry points.

Rodent Exclusion and Proofing

Unlike companies that rely primarily on bait stations and poison, we focus on preventing future infestations.

Our technicians seal openings using:

  • Steel mesh
  • Metal flashing
  • Concrete and/or lumber replacement
  • Rodent-resistant construction materials

Strategic Trap Placement

After exclusion work is completed, we install mechanical snap traps in non-living areas such as attics, crawlspaces, and garages. These traps allow us to safely remove remaining rodents without introducing toxic chemicals into your home.

Follow-Up Monitoring

We return every 3 to 5 days to monitor activity and ensure the infestation has been fully eliminated.
