Inglewood's dense, established residential neighborhoods are full of older homes with the construction gaps rodents exploit. Mature street trees, older garages, and decades-old housing give roof rats cover and easy climbs onto rooftops, and the mix of single-family homes and apartments means rodents have plenty of places to feed and nest across the city.
Roof rats are the common attic rodent here, reaching the roof by way of trees, fences, and utility lines, then entering through gaps at the eaves and vents. Norway rats turn up lower around alleys, drains, and crawlspaces, and house mice work into kitchens and garages through small gaps year-round in the mild climate.
We treat Inglewood homes by inspecting the full property, sealing the roofline, vents, and ground-level gaps with materials rodents cannot chew through, and trapping out the rodents already inside. On older homes the sealing is what turns a temporary fix into a lasting one, because trapping alone just makes room for the next rodent to move in through the same gap.
A follow-up visit confirms the activity has stopped. Call 213-546-7138 to connect with a rodent exterminator serving Inglewood and the surrounding communities.
