What lets rodents into Pomona's homes and buildings
Victorian and Craftsman details
Houses in Lincoln Park and Wilton Heights have wood siding, attic and gable vents, porches and decorative trim. After a century of settling, painting and repairs, small gaps open where trim meets siding, around old vents and under porches, and roof rats and mice use them to get into attics and walls.
Phillips Ranch slopes
Phillips Ranch streets wind through hills, with graded slopes and open land beside many homes. Brush on the slopes shelters rodents, and they work along fences and walls toward the house. Decks, pool equipment and foundation vents on the downhill side are typical ways in.
Downtown's older commercial buildings
The Arts District and Antique Row fill older buildings with shared walls, roof spaces and service areas. Rodents drawn by a restaurant kitchen can move between units through ceilings and utility runs. Commercial rodent control covers these businesses, along with apartment buildings and offices, with trapping and sealing and no poison.
Rail lines through town
Metrolink's Riverside and San Bernardino lines, Amtrak and, since September 2025, the A Line light rail all serve Pomona. Rail corridors have open ground and loose ballast where Norway rats burrow, and homes and businesses that back onto the tracks can see them arrive at ground level, along walls and fences.
Newer homes get rodents too, usually through garages, roof vents and the openings where pipes and cables come in.
