Yolo County Service Area
Movement above the ceiling or signs of mice in the garage? We look for how they get in, and confirm which animal it is. We check the roofline, vents, and outside gaps, then seal and trap where needed. Inspections are free, with a written estimate before work starts. If you are searching for rodent control near you in Davis, this is the local page: what we check, how the work runs, and what an inspection covers here.

What we inspect
Rats and mice can get in through small openings all around a home. We check the common trouble spots and show you which ones need attention.
Rats or mice in your home?
Rats can enter through damaged roof or gable vents and openings along the roofline. We check those areas, plus garage and utility gaps, so the estimate covers how rodents get in.
Davis is green by design, and rodents benefit. Greenbelts and creek corridors run behind neighborhoods across the city. Backyard fruit trees are everywhere, and Village Homes in West Davis has dozens of fruit and nut tree varieties in open common areas. Roof rats travel the greenbelts and fences, feed in the trees, and reach rooflines. Mice work lower, through garages and crawlspaces. Whether your home gets activity comes down to its openings.
Davis tenants and homeowners report mice often: light scratching above a bedroom, droppings in the garage. Sometimes it is house mice, working crawlspace and garage openings in older ranch homes. Sometimes it is roof rats off the greenbelt. Mouse droppings are about a quarter inch, pointed. Rat droppings are about half an inch. Rats sound slower and louder and leave rub marks on beams. We identify the animal at the inspection, then proof for both.
Hearing scratching in Davis?

Yes. The Putah Creek Parkway in South Davis, the Willowcreek and Aspen greenbelts, the Northstar Greenway in North Davis, and the corridors around Mace Ranch in the east are the cover and routes rats use. They end at back fences. From there, a tree, vine, or utility line bridges to the roof. On these homes we start at the back: rear transitions, branches, and vents facing the corridor.
Rentals are a large share of Davis housing, and tenants hear the scratching first. Proofing is booked by the owner or property manager, since it is a building repair. We inspect, document openings and activity with photos, and give a written estimate the owner can approve. We will walk the tenant through what we found too.
Much of Davis went up in the 1960s through the 1980s: single story ranch homes with crawlspaces, aging vent screens, and additions. Those homes fail low as often as high. Newer areas like Mace Ranch and the Wildhorse side of East Davis are tighter below, with gaps at roof transitions, vents, and garage corners. Some back onto farmland. We cover roof, attic, crawlspace, and garage on both, weighted to the age of the home.
Seal first, so the next group cannot move in. Then trap the animals still inside. Trapping alone never ends, because the openings stay open. We set the plan at the inspection, then come back for trap checks. No poison at any step.
The inspection is free. We check the roofline, attic, crawlspace where there is one, garage, and outside, with extra attention to the greenbelt or creek side. We show you what we find and give a written estimate listing the openings to seal and any trapping or clean-up we recommend. Cost depends on the number of openings and access.
What we check first in Davis
Roof and gable vents, garage gaps, and utility openings together. We look at the greenbelt or creek side with extra care, because that is where the pressure comes from.

Local questions
Quick answers about inspections, proofing, follow-up and service coverage.
Every service below is available in Davis, starting with a free inspection and a written estimate.
Yes. Davis is a regular Yolo County service area, a short drive from our Dixon base at 529 N Adams St STE A. We inspect, seal, and trap across Davis. Call (707) 754-2408 for a free inspection.
It depends on the number and type of openings and how safely they can be reached. The free inspection comes with a written estimate, so you know the cost before work starts.
No. We find the openings, seal them, and trap rodents already inside if needed. No bait in your attic or walls.
Yes. We inspect and document what we find with photos and a written estimate. The owner or property manager books the proofing, since it is a building repair.
Not always. Many homes need proofing and trapping only. If droppings or damaged insulation are heavy, clean-up is discussed separately. It is never built in automatically.

The Integrity Process
Inspect. Proof. Clean Up. Follow Up. We inspect the whole home, seal the entry points, clean and sanitize on the same visit, then set traps and keep coming back until the house stays quiet.
The inspection is free, and it is where every job starts. Our inspector checks the attic, roofline, garage, crawlspace when there is one, and the full outside of the home, tracing droppings and runways back to the openings rats and mice are using. He takes photos of what he finds, and the inspection becomes a written estimate with a report and map our crew works from.
Our crew works from the inspector's report and map, sealing every entry point rats and mice are using, and the ones they could use next. We seal with construction grade materials.
Clean-up is its own step, but it happens on the same visit as the proofing, while the crew is already there. Where it is accessible, we remove droppings, nesting material, damaged insulation, plastic vapor barrier, and heat duct insulation, then sanitize and deodorize the areas we cleaned. Damaged materials go back new and up to code, and we protect the inside of the home while we work.
After the proofing, we come back every 3-5 days until there is zero activity. At each visit we check the traps and re-inspect the sealing, looking for any new opening or fresh sign that rats or mice are still moving. Once the traps stay empty and the house stays quiet, we take the traps out and the job is done.
Hearing scratching? Finding droppings?
Seal it once. Seal it right. That’s the Integrity Way.
