We had a stressful raccoon situation with a mother and baby nesting inside an old electrical box through a hole in the exterior of our house. The baby was trapped in the wall shared with our bedroom, and we could hear both the baby and mom at different times. It was very nerve wracking. The mom would come and go, and at one point seemed to leave the baby alone for a day or two. We even hired a general contractor to open the wall to try to find the baby, but we could not locate it. Meanwhile, the raccoon started tearing up parts of the exterior, including a vent. We called several pest control companies, but they all suggested trapping the raccoon which did not help since the baby was still inside the wall. We eventually contacted Wildlife Support, who recommended Tony, and I am so glad they did. Tony responded quickly, came out to assess the situation, and created a thoughtful game plan with us. The next day he returned with a thermal camera to locate the baby and set up a one way trap to safely remove both mom and baby. When the mom figured out how to open the trap and kept going back in, Tony quickly pivoted and came up with another plan. He returned the following day with a smaller trap and a makeshift blocker so we could close the hole immediately once the mom left. Tony was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly cared about the animals. His priority was getting them out safely without harming them. He was also friendly, professional, and genuinely concerned for our safety, reminding us to stay away when the raccoon returned and checking in on us often. Not only did he successfully resolve the raccoon situation, he got them out safely and we did not have to open the walls again. He also secured the electrical box opening and sealed other vulnerable areas around our house using quality materials. At no point did we feel upsold or pressured. He truly put us first. There is no one else I would rather call for rodent or wildlife issues. Tony has both Wildlife Support's recommendation and my full stamp of approval. read more

Tony is incredible. Everyone, if you have a rodent problem, call Tony at Permanent Rodent Solutions. We hired another outfit over a year ago, they were nice but didn't solve the problem - mice kept coming. They literally stopped showing up to follow up appointments (even though we paid for a 2-year warranty). A friend (with a similar problem, first hired another company that failed to do the job) recommended Tony. He is so creative and thoughtful. He is a carpenter by trade so comes up with things that work in old houses with weird gaps and holes everywhere (like ours). He just installed a very discrete blockade around the fridge, to block the main (remaining) exit and entrance of our resident Mickey . Stainless steel so it can handle the moisture from the fridge. Hopefully this does it. Thank you Tony! read more

Tony was quick to respond and get to work. He was attentive and checked in throughout the process of getting the rats to leave the walls. He charges a fair price and does great work. I will leave an update in a few months to attest to the longevity of his work. read more

I night about three weeks ago, i saw one mouse in my living room--and then, to my horror, discovered "evidence". I contacted Tony with Permanent Solutions Rodent Proofing the next morning. Ho provided solid advice and scheduled an appointment at my earliest convenience and showed up on time. He didn't charge for the consultation--and showed up again the next day to help locate and seal the inside openings in my condo--as well as the exterior places in the building where it/they might be able to enter and exit. He is reasonable, works fast/hard and sticks to the quote he gives you. And this was critical for me--WITHOUT having to sign an expensive ongoing contract!!! Fingers-crossed--but it/they seems to be gone. I haven't seen any signs in a couple of weeks. This is a friendly Irish guy--not a big corporation trying to rip you off. if you have an issue, give him a call. He's providing an invaluable service. read more

Tony was great and really knowledgeable. He took the time to really explain the steps in the process and has plenty of pictures of the work that he has performed, including the high quality material that he uses. He explains things very thoroughly. He shows true dedication in this field and I would highly recommend him. Thank you Tony for all your hard work. read more

Tony is very knowledgeable about rodent behavior and explains the situation carefully. He diligently searched the building for entry points for mice and sealed those points with stainless mesh, concrete, flashing, and door thresholds to ensure entry was blocked. His pricing was reasonable, he showed up promptly and offers a 3 year guarantee because, as his company name says, he offers a ¨permanent solution¨ I highly recommend Tony if you have a rodent issue. read more

Tony Whelan promises he will permanently rodent proof your residence. Tony keeps his promise. Before hiring Tony I got quotes from all of the major rodent treatment companies. Their contracts include a monthly fee to come back and remove rodents. They refuse to promise anything permanent. You want permanent solutions. From Tony you get permanent solutions. There is no company out there that does what Tony does. read more

I highly recommend Tony for any rodent or critter problems you have. Tony is very knowledgable about animal behavior, and finds entry points that were missed by other pest control companies. He also has professional carpenter skills, so any work done is with the highest quality materials, and aesthetically pleasing. He also cares deeply about wildlife and the environment, and commits to never using rat poison or glue traps, which is very hard to find these days. After helping with a rat infestation at my previous home that previous pest controls couldn't solve, I had Tony take preventative measures at my new home. Great way to get ahead of the problem! He's always fairly priced, and has warranty on his work! Can't recommend him enough! read more

Tony is so knowledgeable--and addresses the cause, not using poisons, but figuring out where they are coming in and causing problems. He used high quality materials that rodents cant get through and sealing entry spots. He created a solution for my gate controls that were being destroyed by rats--something that the gate company wasnt able to address. He also has a background in construction/carpentry so is able to do repairs and solutions that other pest companies can not. He explains everything he is doing and is extremely thorough. I definitely recommend Tony--skilled, helpful ,and a nice guy! read more

We had a mice situation at our apartment. Tony was super friendly, helpful, and knowledgable! He is very easy to talk to. He identified an area in our kitchen that needed to be secured, that a previous specialist missed. We would recommend Tony. read more

The owner Tony was a complete professional! He was efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, thorough, clean, prompt and educational. He provided me with tips on how to clean up the rat and mice droppings without using a bleach solution. He inspected the outside of the house completely, even going under the deck to see a possible opening in a pipe leading to our kitchen. He expertly custom sealed and blocked all the openings he found. I definitely recommend him, especially for using the highest quality materials and mesh! You couldn't have asked for a nicer expert to rat proof my house in a few hours. And he came all the way from San Francisco to El Sobrante to help me out! Tony is my go-to guy now! read more

I would highly recommend Tony to anyone who has rat or mice issues. He is incredibly responsive and attentive to his clients and has a very deep knowledge of rodent behavior. I had a pretty pervasive rat issue when I reached out to Tony and a bad experience with a previous company. Tony from day 1 jumped in to quickly resolve the issue. He is a very skilled carpenter and uses much higher quality materials than most companies, and I found his work to be very fairly priced. One of my favorite aspects of Tony's approach is his commitment to ethical solutions. He will absolutely never use poisons or glue traps. Rather, he prioritizes getting rats out and sealing up entry points. This is the most humane, effective, and permanent solution! Tony has a reputation for being able to solve incredibly challenging infestations (that many other companies can't), and I can see why. He's truly the best. I hope I don't have any more rat issues, but if I do, I will not hesitate to call Tony! read more

Years and years of issues with rodents, I had 3 rodent proofing companies and Tony is my 4th. Tony is the only one to discover where and how the rodents keep coming in. Tony is very honest and up front and answered whatever concerns you have, nice guy! He is very good in sealing spaces where rodents can get in with meshes and sheet metals very professionally and neatly. He uses good quality materials that last forever, not foams that some companies uses. Rodents can chew through foams and cheap materials. Tony knows his stuffs. read more

Living in an old SF multi-unit Victorian, we have had our fair share of rodent problems - first mice, then rats (ugh). We initially worked with a different rodent-proofing company which upcharged the heck out of us and was not committed to fully solving the problem. I was so grateful to find Tony! He is exceptionally good at what he does, he is super responsive, and his prices are always reasonable. We have had additional rodents here and there as neighbors do construction work that disrupts the property lines, but he always comes out promptly and takes care of the issue - putting in one way valves or mesh to block their entry points. He also has excellent contractor skills and does a cosmetically good job (eg when he had to cut into boards in our patio to access rodent entry points, he replaced them beautifully, and you can barely even tell he was there). I feel confident our home is in good hands. You will not regret hiring Tony to solve your rodent issues! read more

Despite lots of different types of traps, we were unable to rid ourselves of our mouse problem. That is when we called Tony. Tony was very kind and knowledgeable. Not only did he come over to help us identify how the mice got in and how to catch them, but he also explained what he was doing and the characteristics of rodents. For instance, that a grain of rice is like a muffin to a mouse. .. with a toddler in our house, there were mouse muffins everywhere! The solutions he proposed quickly alleviated the problem and safeguarded us from future invaders. We have not had any issues since. Thank you, Tony! read more

Tony is great. We had a mouse running around the first floor of our residence for a few months and despite setting up multiple traps, we were unable to catch it ourselves. We called Tony, who inspected the house throughly (inside and out), sealed all entry points, and help us identify where to put our humane traps. About a month later, the mouse reappeared, and Tony came back at no charge and did an additional inspection of the house and found where the mouse was coming in. We have had no issues since then. I had called 5 different people prior to finding Tony. Most were difficult to track down, made appointments they didn't keep, or just didn't know what they were doing. I found Tony to be both reliable and highly knowledgable. Would definitely recommend. read more

Tony is a gentleman, a professional and someone who delivers. His inspection is incredibly thorough, his explanations clear, and then the results are permanent. Since he's come we've had no further rodent issues - and we live 1 block from golden gate park. I recommend him to anyone who needs help rodent proofing. read more

I would give him more stars if I could! I called 3 quotes - his was one- he was not only cheaper but he found holes outside our house where rodents could enter and sealed them all up the same visit. The other quotes never looked at the outside of our house even tho insulation was showing in one part. He explained what he was doing and why. He told me the plan and assisted 2 of neighbors with their rodent problem. He did a thorough inspection and all the carpentry and home repairs required to rodent proof our house. He laid traps and came back the next week to review progress. He sealed the basement, the outside of our house and even built a wooden structure around our pipes in our breezeway. He is courteous and thoughtful and did excellent work. read more

Tony is awesome! We had a mouse in our 1922 house that we had only owned for about a year. We had 3 people come out to give us a quote on how to deal with it. The other 2 companies were just going to set traps and then do trap/mouse pee clean up after. Tony's approach is to eliminate the problem at the source. He went around our full property and found entrance areas that had clearly been chewed through by rodents. The other 2 companies did not find these issues (neither had we). Tony patched all of our potential rodent entrance holes/gaps and we have been happily rodent free ever since. I would definitely recommend his service. On top of having an eagle eye for rodent entrance areas, he is also very nice and professional. read more

I had both rats and mice invading my garage and storage space. Tony did an incredibly thorough walk through, saw every tiny place they were likely getting in and had a great plan of attack. It required stainless mesh, concrete, flashing, traps you name it. He checked in regularly both via text and in person to come check how things were progressing. He is incredibly knowledgeable about how to identify and eliminate rodents and I appreciate that he refuses to use poison (and offered to remove the dead carcasses to feed the local wildlife!). If I see any evidence of the rats or mice again I will call him again in an instant. read more

Tony came promptly and on time to assess our rodent problem. He is super knowledgeable about rodent behavior to be able to assess how they are getting into your home. He can provide solutions in the moment. After he came and set traps we had caught the culprit within 2 days. I highly recommend Tony!! read more
