Ross's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Wood-frame homes dominate the older neighborhoods, while newer construction increasingly means dense multi-unit buildings. Combined with the area's climate — a mild Mediterranean climate moderated by coastal fog, with cool, wet winters and dry, mild summers — 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.
