Rodent pressure in Cranston tracks closely with the season and the housing stock. Dense triple-decker homes and older multi-family housing dominate, much of it built before 1940 with old plumbing, tight construction, and basements. A rodent problem rarely resolves with traps alone if the entry point stays open.
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.
