Weems's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Basements are standard here given the region's winter cold, alongside a significant share of newer multi-family construction. Combined with the area's climate — a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and cold winters, typical of the Mid-Atlantic — 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.
