Niantic's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Housing spans centuries-old New England homes to newer construction tied to the region's New York-commuter appeal. Combined with the area's climate — a humid climate with hot, sticky summers and winters cold enough for regular snow — 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.
