The Best Materials for Permanent Rodent Exclusion in San Diego Homes

Rodent problems in San Diego homes rarely come down to one dramatic hole in one obvious place. More often, they come from a series of small weaknesses that add up, a torn vent screen, a gap under an eave, an opening near the roofline, a crawl-space access point that never got tightened up after other work was done. In this region, especially where homes back up to canyons, creeks, or dense landscaping, rats do not need much of an invitation. That is why permanent exclusi
