Bay Area Infested with Rodent Vermin

Mice and rat populations are surging in Vallejo and Benicia, as the cold and wet weather sets in. Experts attribute the increase to last winter's heavy rainfall, which created more habitat and resources for the rodents to thrive. Pest control services are reporting a significant rise in requests, with reports of rodents infiltrating kitchens, drawers, clothes, and AC units. The invasion is not limited to individual households, as neighboring areas are also affected. Homeowners are advised to avoid vacuuming up droppings to prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria, and professional extermination costs around $100 to $125 per month.
