Van Nuys's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Stucco and wood-frame homes dominate here, spanning post-war tract housing to newer suburban subdivisions. Combined with the area's climate — a climate with minimal rainfall much of the year and a real, if short, wildfire season in the surrounding hills — 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.
