Annapolis's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Wood-frame homes dominate here, many older and prone to moisture issues given the region's heavy year-round rainfall. Combined with the area's climate — a climate defined by persistent moisture and fog, a sharp contrast to California's dry-summer reputation — rodents seeking shelter from weather extremes make a beeline for any accessible gap.
We start with an inspection to find every entry point — gaps around utility lines, foundation cracks, vents, rooflines — since sealing those is what actually stops new rodents from getting in. Interior work combines snap traps and tamper-resistant bait stations, chosen based on the property and whether pets or children are present. A follow-up visit confirms activity has stopped.
