Sacramento’s beautiful, dense tree canopy comes with a major drawback: it acts as a massive highway for Roof Rats to bypass ground traps and directly enter attics and rooflines.
Furthermore, the extensive city sewer system supports large populations of American cockroaches, while recent heat waves have caused the invasive Turkestan cockroach population to explode. We strongly advise using professional structural exclusion (sealing holes on the roofline) to stop rodents, and establishing micro-encapsulated perimeter barriers to stop roaches from migrating up from the storm drains.
