Van Dyne's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Housing here ranges from historic dairy-farm homes to newer lake-country cabins, with basements standard throughout. Combined with the area's climate — a continental climate where both summer warmth and severe winter cold define the year, more so in the north than the south — 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.
