Waldport's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Wood-frame homes dominate here, many older and built with crawl spaces vulnerable to the region's persistent winter moisture. Combined with the area's climate — a climate defined by a long, gray rainy season and a dry, pleasant summer, typical of western Oregon — 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.
