Damascus's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Wood-frame farmhouses dominate this rural landscape, built for the region's long, hot growing season. Combined with the area's climate — a climate shaped by this region's southern latitude, warmer overall than Atlanta or north Georgia — 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.
