Rising Rodent Problems in Sonoma County


If you’ve noticed scratching in the walls, droppings in your pantry, or gnawed food packaging, you’re not alone. Rodent activity is climbing across Sonoma County as cooler weather and urban expansion push rats and mice closer to homes and businesses. Homeowners are searching for terms like “Santa Rosa rodent control,” “Petaluma rat exterminator,” and “Rohnert Park mouse removal” more than ever before.

Rodents don’t just create a nuisance—they spread bacteria, contaminate food, chew electrical wiring, and damage insulation.


Common Rodent Issues in Sonoma County

Nature Science Pest Control handles every type of rodent issue in the region, including:


  • Roof Rats: Often found in attics and ceilings, especially in older Santa Rosa and Sebastopol homes.

  • Norway Rats: Burrowers that damage crawl spaces, basements, and foundations.

  • House Mice: Small but persistent invaders that contaminate food and storage areas.


Rodents can reproduce rapidly — a small issue today can turn into a major infestation in just weeks. At Nature Science Pest Control, we combine local knowledge with eco-conscious solutions for long-lasting results. Our process includes:


  1. Comprehensive Inspection: We locate all nesting areas, entry points, droppings, and gnaw marks.

  2. Exclusion and Sealing: Entry holes and gaps are closed using durable materials to prevent re-entry.

  3. Trapping & Removal: We use traps and targeted control methods

  4. Sanitation & Cleanup: We eliminate nesting debris and odors that attract future rodents.

  5. Prevention & Maintenance: Regular monitoring and maintenance plans


Top Signs of a Rodent Infestation

Watch for these warning signs that it’s time to call a local rodent exterminator:


  • Droppings along walls, in drawers, or behind appliances

  • Strange noises in walls or ceilings at night

  • Gnawed food packages or electrical wires

  • Shredded insulation or paper nesting material

  • A musty or ammonia-like odor from droppings


If you notice any of these signs, it’s time for a professional inspection.


DIY Prevention Tips for Homeowners

Here are 10 simple ways to keep rodents out of your home between professional visits:


  1. Store pet food and pantry items in sealed containers.

  2. Keep garbage bins tightly closed.

  3. Trim trees and bushes at least 2 feet away from your roofline.

  4. Declutter storage spaces to remove hiding spots.

  5. Maintain clean kitchen surfaces and vacuum regularly.

  6. Schedule regular seasonal inspections with your local pest expert.


A few simple maintenance habits can go a long way toward keeping rodents out for good.
