Mad River's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Wood-frame homes dominate here, many older and prone to moisture issues given the region's heavy year-round rainfall. Combined with the area's climate — a climate defined by persistent moisture and fog, a sharp contrast to California's dry-summer reputation — 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.
