Understanding Rodent Infestations in Fresno
The Central Valley's warm climate and agricultural landscape create ideal conditions for roof rats, Norway rats, and house mice. Urban neighborhoods bordering orchards experience higher rodent pressure, particularly during harvest season.
Rodents gnaw on electrical wiring, contaminate insulation, and spread diseases. The proximity of Fresno neighborhoods to agricultural fields makes rodent pressure a persistent challenge for local homeowners.
