Post Falls's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. A mix of wood-frame family homes and lakefront cabins, most built with basements to handle the region's cold, snowy winters. Combined with the area's climate — a Pacific-influenced inland climate with snowy winters and mild, green summers, distinct from the drier high desert further south — 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.
