Burbank's older residential streets, from the Rancho district to Magnolia Park, are lined with mature trees and decades-old homes, which is exactly what roof rats look for. The Verdugo foothills on the city's north edge feed rodents down into the neighborhoods, and the established landscaping gives them cover and easy climbs onto rooftops.
The roof rat story in Burbank is the familiar LA one: climb a tree, fence, or utility line, cross the roof, and enter the attic through a gap at the eaves or a vent. Homeowners hear the scratching overhead at night, then find droppings in the attic or garage. House mice work into kitchens and garages through small gaps and breed through the mild winters, and horse properties and larger lots in the Rancho area add outbuildings where rodents establish before moving into the home.
We inspect the full property, seal the roofline, vents, pipe gaps, and garage, and trap out the rodents already inside, then confirm the work with a follow-up visit. On Burbank's older homes there is rarely just one way in, so closing all of the gaps is what keeps the fix from unraveling.
