Smart Pest Pros provides pest control, termite services, and rodent control in Berkeley, CA using a prevention-first approach built on clear communication, detailed inspections, and proven methods designed to hold up over time.

We combine modern service updates like on-the-way notifications and clear documentation with hands-on, thorough work—so you know what we found, what we treated, and what to expect next.

Why Pest Problems Are Common in Berkeley

Berkeley has a unique blend of microclimates—from Bay-adjacent neighborhoods to the Berkeley Hills. Older housing stock, crawl spaces and basements, mature landscaping, and coastal moisture can support insects and rodents throughout the year. Hillside properties may also see increased rodent activity as wildlife corridors funnel movement toward homes.

In Berkeley, pest activity is often driven by:

• Older homes with crawl spaces, basements, and aging entry points
• Bay moisture and cooler coastal air supporting insects and moisture-driven pests
• Hillside and open-space edges increasing rodent and wildlife movement
• Mature landscaping and irrigation attracting ants and providing shelter
• Dense neighborhoods allowing pests to travel between structures

Long-term pest control in Berkeley depends on prevention: sealing entry points correctly, reducing conducive conditions, and using targeted treatments based on the specific pressures around your home.

Berkeley Pest Control Built Around Communication

Effective pest control requires consistency and clarity. We focus on proactive updates, clear documentation, and recommendations that are easy to understand and follow.

• On-the-way notifications and defined service windows
• Digital documentation with straightforward explanations
• Photos when helpful so you can see what’s being addressed
• Easy follow-up when questions come up or conditions change

General Pest Control in Berkeley, CA

Berkeley homes often experience recurring ants, spiders, and moisture-related pests—especially in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and lower levels. Our general pest control focuses on perimeter protection, prevention, and reducing repeat indoor activity.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

We prioritize non-chemical solutions first and apply targeted treatments only where necessary. This approach minimizes unnecessary applications while improving long-term control.

Common Berkeley Pest Issues We Handle

• Ant infestations in kitchens, bathrooms, and along foundations
• Spiders and webbing pests around eaves, patios, and garages
• Roaches and occasional invaders
• Silverfish and moisture-driven pests
• Wasps and stinging insects during warmer months

Rodent Control in Berkeley: Exclusion That Prevents Repeat Problems

Rodents are a common issue in Berkeley due to older structures, dense neighborhoods, and hillside corridors. They often enter through foundation gaps, crawl space openings, attic vents, roofline gaps, and utility penetrations.

Our rodent service is built around full exclusion. We inspect the structure top-to-bottom, identify how rodents are getting in, seal entry points using permanent materials, and remove rodents already inside using professional trapping.

What to Expect From Our Rodent Process

• Detailed inspection of attic, crawl space, exterior, and foundation
• Clear options and photos so you can make a confident decision
• Professional trapping and removal
• Complete sealing and exclusion to prevent re-entry
• Follow-up visits to confirm progress and results

We don’t just remove rodents—we work to keep them out.

Termite Control in Berkeley, CA

Termites can be a concern in Berkeley, especially in older wood-framed homes and properties with crawl spaces, wood-to-soil contact, and moisture exposure. Early detection and proper treatment are critical.

Subterranean Termite Treatments

We use proven professional-grade solutions, including Termidor HE when appropriate, and focus on complete, thorough treatments for long-term protection.

Drywood Termite Treatments

When drywood termites are present, we recommend the approach most likely to fully eliminate the infestation. In many cases, fumigation provides the most reliable results compared to limited spot treatments.

Termite Warranty

Full termite treatments include a 3-year warranty with a re-inspection before expiration. Warranties are renewable, as reinfestation can occur over time.
