Rats and mice in the foothills and Northeast Los Angeles
These neighborhoods sit where the city meets the mountains. Eagle Rock, Highland Park and Mount Washington climb the hills of Northeast Los Angeles; La Cañada Flintridge, La Crescenta, Altadena, Sierra Madre, Sunland and Tujunga back onto the San Gabriel Mountains and the Angeles National Forest.
Mature trees, steep lots and open land behind the houses mean rodents are never far away. Hillside homes often have raised foundations, decks and crawlspaces, and older wood-sided houses have plenty of small gaps.
Where rodents get in around the foothills
Hillside homes and crawlspaces
Homes built into slopes in Mount Washington, Eagle Rock and La Crescenta often have open space under decks and floors, where rodents can nest out of sight.
Oaks and mature trees
Old oaks, pines and sycamores shade many of these streets. Branches over the roof give roof rats an easy route to the attic.
Wild land next door
Canyons and brush behind homes in La Crescenta, Sierra Madre, Sunland and Tujunga hold wild rodents right at the property line.
Craftsman and older homes
Highland Park and Eagle Rock have many early 1900s Craftsman homes, with wood siding, exposed rafters and old vents that open up over the years.
