Susan's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. A blend of historic river-town homes and dense coastal development shaped by the region's military and shipping industries. Combined with the area's climate — a humid climate with a long, hot summer and winters mild enough that snow is inconsistent — 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.
