Montclair sits up in the Oakland hills among redwoods and heavy tree cover, with homes built into the slopes on decks, posts, and crawl spaces. It is beautiful, and it is roof rat country. The dense canopy gives rats cover and climbing routes onto the roofline, and hillside construction offers attics, decks, and crawl spaces to nest in at several levels.
Roof rat and mouse help in Montclair starts with an inspection that reads the hillside home and the trees around it, then a plan to clear the rodents and seal the way in.
Hillside homes and wooded lots
Montclair's setting is what draws roof rats. Redwoods and mature trees form a canopy that puts branches right over rooflines, giving rats a direct route onto the house. Homes built into the slope add decks, support posts, and crawl spaces that create access at different heights, and attics tucked into the hillside make warm, quiet nests. A plan built for Montclair works the roofline and the crawl space both, because rodents here come in high and low.
Cutting the routes and sealing the home
Lasting control in the hills means cutting the climbing routes and sealing the home. Branches get trimmed back off the roofline, the roof edge, eaves, and vents get sealed against roof rats, and the crawl space and foundation get closed against anything working low. Trapping clears what is inside; the sealing keeps the wooded traffic out.
