Rodent Control in the Castro
The Castro is in Eureka Valley and took shape in 1887 when a streetcar line connected the valley to downtown. Large Victorian houses are a big part of the neighborhood. The Castro Theatre, built in 1922, anchors the main strip, and Castro and Market and 18th and Castro are its busiest corners.
Old Victorians split into flats, plus bars, restaurants and shops close by, is a familiar recipe for rodents in this city.
Victorians Split Into Flats
Many big Victorians have been divided into units over the years. Each conversion moved pipes, walls and vents, and not every old hole got patched. Mice travel the walls between flats and rats come in at the garage or foundation. If you rent, tell the owner in writing.
- Old vent and pipe openings from past remodels
- Back stairs and decks touching the house
- Garage doors on steep driveways
Bars and Restaurants
Bars and restaurants on Castro, Market and 18th need regular service, good door seals and tight-lidded garbage. See commercial rodent control.
