Tignall's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Crawl-space and slab construction is common here, built for the region's humid climate rather than deep winter cold. Combined with the area's climate — a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and mild winters, typical of the Piedmont, cooler in the mountains to the north — rodents seeking shelter from weather extremes make a beeline for any accessible gap.
We start with an inspection to find every entry point — gaps around utility lines, foundation cracks, vents, rooflines — since sealing those is what actually stops new rodents from getting in. Interior work combines snap traps and tamper-resistant bait stations, chosen based on the property and whether pets or children are present. A follow-up visit confirms activity has stopped.
