Many calls involve the garage. Garage and basement rodent control covers stored items, door seals and wall penetrations, and exclusion work keeps the garage closed afterward.

If the inspection shows less than you feared, we say so.

If droppings or nesting material have built up, cleanup comes after removal. Attic and crawl space cleanup follows trapping and removal, so the space is restored only once the animals are gone.

Lynnwood is a mostly suburban city built up around major roads, with shopping areas, apartment complexes, townhomes and single-family neighborhoods. Dense retail and multi-unit housing mean waste enclosures, shared walls and delivery doors, while quieter streets have yards and attached garages.

Housing age shapes where rodents get in. Older homes tend to have settled foundations, worn vents and utility penetrations that were never sealed. Newer homes have tighter siding, but gaps still appear at pipes, wires and the joints where roof meets wall. We check the building before we guess.

Commercial streets add food and waste. Restaurants, shops and delivery doors create steady supplies of cardboard and scraps, and dumpster pads with gaps at the base are common hot spots. Businesses are best served by monitoring and a written record.

Next we look at the crawl space or lower level if the house has one. Torn vent screens, soiled insulation and burrows along the foundation tell us where activity is and which route the animals use to reach the living space.

Inside the house we look in the kitchen, the utility room and any room where you heard or saw activity. Gaps around pipes under sinks, behind appliances and around the water heater are common routes between floors.

Summer is the quiet period indoors and the busy one outdoors. Rats and mice feed on fallen fruit, garden produce, pet food and compost, and burrows appear along fences and foundations. Yard habits in summer decide how many animals look for a way in later.
