Alamo's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. A mix of older wood-frame Victorian and mid-century homes and newer high-density construction, most without air conditioning given the mild climate. Combined with the area's climate — a temperate climate with minimal seasonal temperature swing, though fog and microclimates vary sharply by neighborhood — rodents seeking shelter from weather extremes make a beeline for any accessible gap.
Exclusion is the core of effective rodent control: finding and sealing every gap a mouse or rat could use to get inside, since traps alone just remove the current population without stopping the next one. We pair exterior sealing with interior trapping or bait stations, then follow up to confirm the problem is resolved.
