We don't just remove the animal. We find every entry point, seal it shut, clean the mess, and back it with prevention so they don't come back. Family-owned and serving the Peninsula and South Bay since 2019.
Every job follows the same proven approach: locate the source, eliminate the problem, clean the mess, and seal so it stays solved. Choose the service you need. We handle the rest.

If any of these sound familiar, you're not imagining it. The longer rodents and wildlife are inside, the harder and more expensive the fix gets. Photos below are from real Bay Area jobs we've handled.
If you're waking up to fresh dirt clumps and torn grass like this, it's almost always skunks or raccoons hunting for grubs. Once they find a buffet, they come back nightly until something changes. We can trap them, then treat the lawn so they lose interest in returning.
Scratching, scurrying, or thumps overhead almost always mean rats, mice, or squirrels nesting up there. Mice are quieter and faster. Rats are heavier and slower. If you hear it for two nights in a row, it's not your imagination, and the only fix that lasts is removing them and sealing the way they got in.
A vent like the one in this photo is a flashing welcome sign for rats. Once the screen is gone, every rat in the neighborhood knows about it within days. The fix is heavy galvanized hardware cloth fastened correctly. Not another flimsy screen the next rat can chew through.
A fresh tunnel running under your fence or alongside the foundation is usually a skunk, an opossum, or a ground squirrel. The longer they stay, the bigger the burrow gets, and you can end up with real foundation undermining or even a sprayed dog.
Skunk under the porch is the obvious one. Less obvious: a slow ammonia smell from rat urine soaking into attic insulation, or a sweet rotting smell that means something died inside a wall. None of these go away on their own, and air freshener just hides them while they get worse.
Seeing a raccoon walking across your roof or an opossum on your back deck after sundown is not random. They're either denning nearby or actively scoping a way in. We'd rather get the call now than after they're inside the attic with a litter of babies.
Real entry points, real cleanups, real wildlife. This is what most pest companies don't show you.
Roof rat or Norway rat. Skunk or opossum. Each one acts differently and needs a different fix. Browse our field guide to figure out what you're dealing with, then call us to handle it.
Armando started Cisneros Rodent & Wildlife Control in 2019 after watching too many of his neighbors get burned by the big pest companies. Surprise charges, half-finished jobs, and the same rats back in the attic two months later.
He runs the business with his family. He answers the phone himself, walks most of the inspections, and follows up after every job. When you call, you're either talking to him or to someone he personally trained.
"I do not subcontract, I do not pad the invoice, and I do not disappear after the first visit. The job is done when the problem is actually solved."— Armando, Owner
