Index's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Housing spans historic Seattle-area neighborhoods to newer suburban subdivisions, most built to handle sustained winter rainfall. Combined with the area's climate — a mild four-season climate without harsh winter cold, but with genuinely wet conditions much of the year — rodents seeking shelter from weather extremes make a beeline for any accessible gap.
Our process treats rodent control as a sealing problem first and a trapping problem second. We inspect the full exterior for entry points, seal what we find, then use snap traps or tamper-resistant bait stations indoors to clear whatever is already inside. A follow-up visit verifies no new activity.
