Norway Rats Control in San Jose

Ground-dwelling rats that burrow near foundations and move through crawl spaces and drains.

About norway rats in San Jose

Norway rats thrive near water, drainage, and food waste. They are common in older neighborhoods, near creeks, and on dense blocks, where they dig burrows along foundations and push into crawl spaces.

You will usually find them in burrows near foundations, crawl spaces, under decks and sheds, drains, and dense ground cover.

Signs you have norway rats

  • Burrow openings near the foundation, deck, or shed
  • Larger droppings with blunt ends
  • Gnawed openings low to the ground
  • Greasy runways along the base of walls
  • Sounds in the subfloor or crawl space

How we handle them

We trap at ground level, treat active burrows, and seal crawl-space vents and foundation gaps. We also flag drainage and clutter that draw them in.

Every job starts with a no-obligation inspection so we confirm the species and find the entry points before any work begins. Removal is paired with sealing and backed by our thorough sealing.

Request a no-obligation inspection or call (408) 762-1180.
