Norway rats burrow at the foundation, roof rats travel the attic and eaves, and house mice need only a quarter-inch gap — knowing which one you have changes the entire treatment plan.
A technician walks the roofline, foundation, and utility penetrations to find every gap a rodent could be using, not just the obvious one.
