Diamond's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Older brick and wood-frame homes built during the region's industrial boom, most with basements to handle heavy snow load. Combined with the area's climate — a four-season climate defined by Great Lakes lake-effect weather, colder and snowier than central or southern Ohio — 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.
