Mice and rats are opportunists, and Edmonds properties give them plenty of opportunity. A mix of older wood-frame homes and newer suburban construction, many without air conditioning given the historically mild summers, and prone to moisture issues given the rain. Once inside a wall void or attic space, they're difficult to remove without sealing the entry point that let them in.
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.
