Glendale sits against the Verdugo Mountains and the San Rafael Hills, and that hillside setting is ideal roof rat territory. The canyons and open slopes hold steady rodent populations that move down into the neighborhoods along their edges, and the mix of older homes, hillside properties, and mature landscaping gives rodents cover and easy routes onto rooftops.
Roof rats work the attics and rooflines here the way they do across LA, using trees, fences, and utility lines to reach the roof, then entering through gaps at the eaves and vents. Homes backing onto the Verdugos or the canyons see the most pressure, since rodents have a short trip from cover to the house. House mice fill out the picture in kitchens and garages, and near lower, older parts of the city Norway rats turn up around drains and crawlspaces.
Our process fits Glendale's terrain: inspect the home thoroughly, seal the roofline, vents, and ground-level gaps, and trap out the rodents already inside. Where a property borders the hills, sealing matters even more, because the supply of new rodents from the canyon never really stops, and a sealed home is what keeps them outside where they belong.
