Fall is rodent season in Virginia Beach — as nights cool, rodents that bred outdoors through the

summer look for somewhere warm and dry to overwinter, and your house is the best option on the

street.

But autumn is when rodents become *visible*, not when they arrive. The population that moves in

during October built up through June and July, and the gap it uses has usually been open for

years.

That's why the most effective time to do exclusion work is spring and summer — ahead of the

autumn move indoors. Seal in August and the autumn population arrives, finds no way in, and

stays outside. Seal in November and you're doing damage limitation.
