Found pests today?
Do these 4 things, then call
- Don't spray the ant trail. Store spray splits Argentine ant colonies and they come back through a new gap. Wipe the line with soapy water for now.
- Put the food away. Seal pantry food and pet food in containers with lids, and take the trash out tonight.
- Leave nests alone. Don't knock down a wasp nest or reach into the spot where you heard rats.
- Call (650) 337-0831. Say what you saw and where. A local exterminator can often come out the same day.
Local pest control when you need it
Pests in Mountain View don't wait for a good time. You find an ant trail across the counter before work, hear scratching in the ceiling at midnight, or spot a yellowjacket nest by the back door in the middle of a barbecue. When that happens you want one call that gets someone out, not a list of companies to sort through.
One call to (650) 337-0831 gets a local exterminator on it. They figure out what you have, find where it lives and how it gets in, and treat it there. That covers ants, rats and mice, termites, cockroaches, wasps and yellowjackets and the rest. You hear the price before any work starts, and you only sign up for a recurring plan if you want one.

(650) 337-0831Pests don't move out on their own
An Argentine ant colony can stretch across a whole block. Two mice turn into dozens in a few months. Treating it now keeps it a small job.
How it works
How a Mountain View pest job gets done
Four steps, in order. Skip the inspection or the sealing and the pests come back.
Call and describe it
Tell us what you're seeing and where. A local exterminator figures out the likely pest and sets up a visit that fits your day.
Inspect the property
The tech checks the kitchen, yard, crawlspace and roofline to find where the pests live and how they get in.
Treat the source
Bait, dust or spray goes where the colony or nest lives. Products get picked with kids and pets in mind.
Seal it and follow up
Gaps get sealed, the work gets checked, and you hear exactly what was done and what to watch for.
Why it matters where you live
Three kinds of ground, three sets of pests
Mountain View runs from the bay marsh to the oak foothills. The pests you get depend a lot on which end you're on.
Baylands and Shoreline
North Bayshore and the Shoreline marsh edge stay damp, so rats, mosquitoes and ants head for the nearest dry building.
- Roof rats and Norway rats
- Mosquitoes and midges
- Argentine ants
- Raccoons and opossums now and then
The flatland neighborhoods
Eichler and ranch homes in Monta Loma, Rex Manor and Waverly Park sit on slabs and low crawlspaces. Ants, roaches and mice get in along the floor line.
- Argentine ants
- German cockroaches
- House mice
- Subterranean termites
The oak foothills
Up toward Los Altos Hills, oak trees and dry brush bring pests that live in wood and canopy.
- Drywood termites
- Yellowjackets and wasps
- Black widow spiders
- Roof rats in attics
Eichler and mid-century homes
Where pests get into Eichler homes
Mountain View has thousands of Joseph Eichler's mid-century homes, mostly in Monta Loma, Rex Manor and Willowgate. The features people love about them also give pests a way in.
- Flat roofs. Leaves and gravel on a flat roof give roof rats and wasps a quiet spot right above the ceiling.
- Radiant slab floors. Argentine ants and subterranean termites follow the warm slab edge and its joints straight into the kitchen.
- Atriums and glass walls. Sliding door tracks and the open atrium leave gaps that spiders and ants use.
- Open beam ceilings. With little attic space, rodents and drywood termites end up in the living area where you see them.
- Old crawlspace vents. Original subfloor vents with worn screens let mice and rats under the house.
- Stucco weep screeds. The gap where the stucco meets the slab is an easy path for ants and termite mud tubes.
That's why the inspection matters. See ant control, rodent control and termite control for how each one gets handled.

What to tell us when you call
None of this is required, but it helps the exterminator know what to bring:
- What you've seen: ants, droppings, wings, bites, a nest or the pest itself
- Where: kitchen, bathroom, attic, crawlspace, garage or yard
- How long it's been going on
- Your city or ZIP so the right local tech handles it

Mountain View pest control FAQ
Can someone come out today?
Often, yes. Call before the afternoon and a local technician can usually reach Mountain View and the nearby Peninsula the same day. You'll hear the next open window on the call.
How much does pest control cost in Mountain View?
A one-time treatment for ants, spiders or roaches usually runs $150 to $350. Rodent work with sealing often runs $300 to $600 or more, and termites and bed bugs get quoted on site. You hear the price after the inspection, before any work starts. The Mountain View pest control cost guide has more detail.
What pests do you handle?
Argentine ants, roof rats and Norway rats, house mice, subterranean and drywood termites, German and American cockroaches, bed bugs, spiders including black widows, yellowjackets and wasps, fleas and ticks, mosquitoes and nuisance wildlife. That goes for homes and small businesses.
Are the treatments safe around kids and pets?
The exterminator picks products and placements with kids and pets in mind and leans on baits, sealing and crack-and-crevice work over spraying open areas. They'll tell you what to expect before and after each visit.
Why do the ants keep coming back after I spray?
Bay Area ants are almost all Argentine ants, and their colonies link up across whole blocks. Spray kills the ants you see and the colony reroutes. Slow-acting bait gets carried back to the queens, which is what stops the trails.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. You can book a one-time treatment for one problem or set up recurring visits if you want them. The tech explains both before anything gets scheduled.
Which areas do you cover?
Mountain View plus Palo Alto, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Menlo Park, Santa Clara and Redwood City. Not sure about your street? Call and ask.
