Rodent Control in Richmond, Texas
Richmond was laid out in 1837, and its historic downtown holds some of the oldest building stock in Fort Bend County, exactly the kind of roofline a roof rat exploits.
Rats in your Richmond attic or around the property? The downtown historic district, dating to an 1837 town founding and holding buildings as old as the 1840s, has the roofline gaps and crawlspaces roof rats travel and nest in. Norway rats burrow lower, near the Brazos River bottoms. We identify which, remove it, then seal the entry.
Some of the oldest rooflines in the county
Richmond's downtown historic district, anchored by the 1908 courthouse and cottages dating to the 1840s, has more age-related roofline gaps, crawlspaces and foundation openings than the newer Aliana and Harvest Green tracts at the edge of town. Those old openings are exactly what the climbing roof rat uses to nest in an attic.
The Brazos bottoms and Norway rats
Richmond sits on the Brazos River's west bank, and the low, damp bottomland that floods regularly is Norway rat territory, a burrowing rat that stays near foundations and ground cover rather than climbing. We read the property and the housing age before deciding where the work goes.
