Mattawa's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Wood-frame homes with basements dominate this dry landscape, built for cold winters rather than the persistent rain seen west of the Cascades. Combined with the area's climate — a continental climate with genuine seasonal extremes, far drier than western Washington year-round — 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.
