Services
Alley Cat Rodent Exclusion Rodent Exclusion is a proactive service designed to keep rodents out of your home. We identify and seal entry points like gaps, cracks, and holes with durable materials that rodents can’t chew through. By addressing both physical barriers and environmental attractants, this service offers long-term protection, significantly lowering the risk of future infestations. Unlike reactive solutions, Rodent Exclusion focuses on prevention, ensuring your home stays rodent-free. We also provide expert advice to help you maintain these defenses, so you can enjoy lasting peace of mind.
Professional Rat Control Our specialized process eliminates severe infestations and prevents future ones. We're so confident in our work that we offer an extended warranty. Begin rat-proofing now by scheduling a free inspection and getting a no-obligation estimate. If multiple treatments are necessary, our rat exclusion experts will create a customized plan tailored to your needs and budget. Additionally, every Alley Cat rat control service comes with our exclusive lifetime rodent-free guarantee.
Mice Control Alley Cat's skilled technicians specialize in removing house mice from any part of your home, whether they're in the walls, basement, attic, or other areas. We begin with a free inspection, identifying signs and high-risk zones. If an infestation is detected, our mice exclusion team will provide a free estimate.
Attic Cleaning While attic insulation keeps your home cozy, it also offers a perfect nesting spot for rodents. These pests reproduce quickly, with litters of 32-84 babies every few weeks. Unfortunately, insulation also soaks up urine and feces, which can lead to mold, mildew, and bacteria. Even more concerning is that the odor from droppings can attract more rodents to your home. This smell can linger, making it crucial to tackle the infestation thoroughly to prevent further issues.

Alley Cat offers a comprehensive Free Inspection to assess rodent activity in your home, identifying potential entry points and providing expert recommendations for effective exclusion and prevention. This detailed assessment ensures you have a clear understanding of the situation before committing to any services.

Outstanding service and personnel. They clearly identified the issues via detailed pictures and discussion before, during, and after. We came to an agreeable cost and they performed in an exemplary manner. I strongly recommend their service. Shoutout to the President/owner, Niv, Winner (spelling), and Fernando for excellent communication and caring enough to do the best job.

We had what I was sure was a moose move in with us- it sounded big. Alley Cat quickly found the burrow the moose had dug, filled it, reinforced it with a wire mesh barrier, and reinforced the mesh barriers they'd earlier placed around our home (which were intact). (They also assured us it was a rat, but I'm sticking to my moose story.) Alley Cat is great with scheduling, they're great with communication, they show up on time when they say they'll be there, they know what they're doing (moose or rat, it's gone), their prices are fair and their customer service is excellent.

We had a rat infestation in our attic which required removal of all insulation, clean up, sanitizing, replacement of insulation and patching of access points. The team at Alley Cat was professional, communicated clearly all of the details of the work to be done as well as a thorough review at the time of completion. I would highly recommend this company.

Very good work -- good on-site inspection, clear quotation, very good crew on day of work. Very good quality exclusion work; they covered all access points and confirmed w me. Still waiting to see how well the set traps work to clear out any remaining rodents. Update ~4 weeks after initial work: This is going well. Alley Cats' technicians found 4 rats trapped when they inspected two weeks after sealing the house.

They removed those traps and replaced them with new traps. One more rat was trapped during the second two week period. Two more rats trapped after new burrowing under foundation was found. Alley Cat quickly sent a technician to clear the old traps. Another appointment is set soon, to seal & block the new burrowing area. Good job Alley Cats. Thanks.

Alley Cat was very thorough on the inspection on a rat infestation. Miro gave me an estimate with a 3 year warranty! I hired them and the guys were very detailed and did everything they said would be done! Very happy with Alley Cat, well worth the money!

I had rodents in my attic since the big storm. The gentleman who did the free estimate was Very knowledgeable and spent time with me to discuss what he was finding and next steps. The team coming out to address the problem were very thorough. Jose R. was patient answering all of my questions and communicating through the whole process. I am thrilled to have a rat free home again.

I accidentally discovered our rodent issues a month ago. Picked Alley Cat from three companies I interviewed. It is the best outcome from this unfortunate incident. A crew of 7, lead by Kelvin, removed all the contaminated material in the attic on the first day. Completed the new insulation on the second. Thanks to the supervisor, Carlos, our house was well covered and protected from the dust.

Thanks to Lee, the examiner, we now have a camera in the attic monitoring unusual activities. Thank you, Alley Cat, for being efficient, professional and flexible! I highly recommend their service!

Truly excellent service. They found evidence of rodent activity in a packed closet near the kitchen that we weren't expecting to be part of the process, and they carefully removed everything that was piled in there (a lot!), cleaned with care and then put everything back and let us know we'd be wanting to clean the clothes and things before we did anything else with them.

It is important to me to do things like this right the first time, and their attitude, focus, efficiency, thoroughness.and 3 year guarantee made me confident that they feel the same way. What. A. Relief! Very grateful.

So professional! Their bid came in at about the same level as two others, but was more detailed and better explained. The company is easy to deal with, all calls are followed up with emails and texts for confirmation. The crew they sent out was excellent. Every person on our job was polite, on time, immaculate, and knowledgeable. Positive Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism Services Home inspection, Rodent extermination. More

This has been a very positive experience! They are on time, courteous, competent, and treat your home as if it's theirs. From the inspection to the exclusion work, to the business office, and the follow up, everything has gone very smoothly. Dealing with rats in your home is very anxiety producing, and I feel as if they are finally resolving this issue after so many years of doing battle with the rodents (and they always won until now).

We had a persistent rat problem for several months and traps were not working. Alley Cat came in and did a thorough assessment. A team came, blocked the holes that were the entry points, and set traps in the attic and basement spaces, They came back twice to dispose of cadavers, and remain on call. The service is very professional and worth what they charge.

The team was wonderful---professional, courteous, and hard-working. They seemed so thorough---on the roof, in the crawlspace, in the attic, in every room. They also kept the house very clean, and were careful to cover their shoes, lay down brown paper to walk on, and put up plastic sheeting to protect the contents of the rooms. Highly recommended!

Agusto and his team did a excellent job with my rodent extermination. Very professional, through job addressing the attic and crawl space concerns. They were extremely neat and and took great care covering the work areas. Miro preformed a comprehensive inspection of my home and a detailed quote covering the scope of the work to be performed. Have used other extermination companies that pale in comparison. Alley Cat also provides a three year warranty.

I had an excellent experience with the professionals from Alley Cat. Miro was the gentleman who did the original inspection and scope of work. He was extremely polite, respectful of my home and knowledgeable. He shared their process and expertise with me, gave me options to consider and his follow up was efficient and his quotes thorough. Fernando and team showed up day of.

They were excellent technicians. Timely, knowledgeable, efficient, and again exceedingly respectful of my home taking care not to damage my property and leaving every super clean. I couldn't be more satisfied with this crew. Highly recommend.

Alleycat service techs are professional, thorough, responsive and considerate. They are clean, wear shoe covers and masks. As they are always punctual, I called about the arrival time for my tech's visit today. The receptionist was very apologetic and explained his car had broken down and another tech would be arriving shortly for my service visit.

As promised, Sergio arrived. He was very professional, responded to my concerns and noted that there was evidence of dampness in my basement. He explained mold and mildew could ensue and briefly explained that vapor wrapping is one way to confront that problem. I shared that I had experienced a broken sprinkler last week and hadn't been able to shut off the water.

He said he may have noted an area that was still drying out and let me know where it was located so I could recheck the area at a later date. You can expect "above and beyond" service from Alley Cat!

There were sounds coming from inside the walls, under the floors, & in the attic. Alley Cat provided a quick & detailed estimate for the work to be done. (Clean up space, cover critter access, replace insulation) The crew was very professional, kept me informed of the progress; provided description & estimate for unforeseen issue for approval before proceeding. Cleaned up when done. I could not be happier with their work!

People were professional, courteous, competent and responsive. Work was done with care to protect our home from dust and debris. Interaction in person or text/email is prompt and complete. No need for waiting on-hold or working through multilayered menus. It is too soon to judge how effective the job is in preventing roof rats etc. It is pricey. I recommend them.

Getting rid of rodents is not easy. We tried multiple companies before Alley Cat and were consistently disappointed. While the initial expense with Alley Cat is more than regular trap and clear companies they do the work that needs to be done to actually get rid of the critters. They honor their work with a thorough warranty and best yet they more often than not send the same tech to do any follow on work so they are familiar with your home. They get an A from us.

The people who manage and work at this company are the best of the best. It was a real pleasure to have such professional service in the hills of Oakland. Two previous companies had failed to eliminate the rats and field mice, seal the entire foundation and then sanitize the entire storage area under our house. They succeeded in eliminating the problems. High praise!

From my initial contact with Kathy, Miro to the very end with Anthony and team, I enjoyed superb service. Everyone I encountered was professional, friendly and very thorough, readily using their knowledge and expertise. Team arrived as scheduled and diligently worked to complete the task. I wholeheartedly recommend this company without any hesitation.

Alley Cat was wonderful! I really loved working with Sean - he was personable and professional. The work that they did was great cleaning out a major infestation and replacing all of my insulation that was a surprise with my new house. They were very fairly priced for performing both of those services and have been very responsive since the work was completed. I would highly recommend!
