Pest and Wildlife ManagementPest and Wildlife Management4HighHomeowner$ implied
Homeowner cannot identify and seal exterior entry points, leading to recurring rodent intrusions in walls and death inside walls causing odor and stress.
Traps only catch rodents already inside, but don't prevent entry; visual inspection and manual sealing with spray foam fails because entry points are hard to find, especially in exterior walls.
