Rodent Control Services in Santa Rosa
Comprehensive Rodent Management in Napa, Sonoma & Marin Counties
Rats, mice, and other rodents are common pests in the Bay Area. These small mammals often enter homes and other buildings to escape harsh environmental conditions, find food or water, nest, and breed. Because they reproduce very quickly and in large quantities, a seemingly minor rodent problem can soon become a full-blown infestation. All it takes is one male and one female rodent to create a massive problem.
At We Care Pest Solutions, we offer comprehensive rodent control in Santa Rosa and all of the surrounding areas. Our eco-friendly, effective solutions are designed to target pests while reducing risks to humans, pets, non-targeted organisms, and the general environment. In addition to ridding your home or business of rodents, we also employ proven techniques, such as integrated pest management, to prevent future infestations.
What Are the Signs of a Rodent Infestation?
While you may spot a mouse or rat in your home, it’s far more common to see rodent droppings. In fact, droppings are often the first sign of a rodent problem—and where there is one rodent, there are likely many more.
If you notice any of the following signs, you could have a rodent infestation:
- Droppings on the floor, in cupboards, in drawers, under sinks, and near food sources
- Chew or gnaw marks on food packaging, as well as holes chewed through packages
- Rodent nests or nesting material, such as shredded fabric, paper, or plant materials
- Unusual, stale odors coming from various areas, such as under sinks or behind walls
- Scratching, clawing, or squeaking noises coming from inside walls, pipes, or other hidden areas
- Holes with signs of chewing or scratching in the walls, doors, or floors of your home or business
If you actually see a mouse or rat in your home or commercial building, it’s possible that just one rodent has managed to enter your property. However, if you remove the mouse or rat and continue seeing signs of rodents, such as droppings, you most likely have an infestation.

Proactive Preventative Pest Control Strategies
Instead of waiting for a pest infestation, it's essential to take preventative measures to keep your home or business pest-free. Our team at We Care Pest Solutions can provide proactive pest control services to help prevent pests from entering your property in the first place.
Some of the preventative pest control measures we offer include:
- Sealing cracks and crevices to prevent entry
- Installing screens on windows and doors
- Regularly cleaning and maintaining your property
- Removing potential food and water sources for pests
- Using eco-friendly pest deterrents
By taking these preventative measures, you can save time, money, and stress by avoiding the need for extensive pest control treatments in the future.
The Dangers of a Rodent Infestation
Though many people keep mice and rats as pets, it’s a different story when undomesticated rodents enter your home or commercial property. Wild rodents can carry diseases, many of which can harm humans (and pets). Even breathing in contaminated air can transmit disease between rodents and humans. Being bitten or scratched by a wild rodent can also cause injury and disease, as can consuming food contaminated by mice or rats or coming into direct contact with rodent feces or urine.
Some common diseases carried by wild rodents include:
- Hantavirus
- Salmonella
- Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCMV)
- Leptospirosis
- Tularemia
In addition to spreading disease, wild rodents can wreak havoc on your property. Excessive gnawing, chewing entry holes, and nesting can lead to structural damage, which may jeopardize your home's or commercial building's safety. This could ultimately cost you thousands of dollars in repairs and renovations.

How to get rid of rats
Getting rid of rats typically involves a combination of preventive measures, trapping, and, in some cases, the use of rodenticides. Here are some steps you can take to get rid of rats in your home or business:
Seal Entry Points:
- Rats can enter your home through small openings. Seal any cracks or holes in walls, floors, and foundation.
- Check for gaps around doors and windows and install weather stripping.
- Ensure that vents are covered with mesh screens.
Remove Food Sources:
- Keep food stored in airtight containers.
- Clean up crumbs and spills promptly.
- Dispose of garbage in sealed bins.
Trim Vegetation:
- Keep trees and vegetation away from the house, as rats can use them to access the roof.
Set Traps:
- Use snap traps or live traps with bait (peanut butter, cheese, or dried fruit).
- Place traps along walls and in areas where you've noticed rat activity.
- Check traps regularly and dispose of captured rats promptly.
