Jackson County Wildlife Removal Tip:

Getting Rid Of Field Rodents my crawl space - You would expect to see rodents running around in the woods, but not so much in the big cities. The District of Columbia is one of the exceptions to the rule. There are plenty of rodents in the city especially in the parks and places like the National Mall. But field rodents should stay in fields and not in your home. There are some solutions for getting rid of rodents my crawl space people have tried, but a lot of them turn out to be ineffective. Because of the city atmosphere finding a store that sells rodent control equipment are not that easy.

Some national chains of big home improvement stores will carry traps, along with hardware stores but that is as much as you will find. Gun laws make sports and hunting stores rare except in the Virginia side of the District. So as far as the city of Washington, the best way to get rid of field rodents is often calling your local exterminator. You should do your research about how they trap the rodents or if they use poisons because not all pest control solutions are legal in the city. You also want to know if they will use humane or kill traps and express your preference.
