Rodent Control in Bon Air, VA

A summer resort turned suburb

Bon Air began as a resort where Richmond families went for fresh air away from the city's industrial downtown in the late 1800s. Its name means good air. The center of the community is a National Historic District with many Victorian homes from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, surrounded by mid-century ranches and later subdivisions. It sits in northern Chesterfield, just south of the city line.

Those Victorian homes have the rodent weak spots of any old house: crawl spaces on brick piers, wraparound porches, additions built in different decades and attic spaces with gaps at the eaves. Big oaks and other mature trees put limbs over many roofs.

Old porches, trees and crawl spaces

Mice are the most common call. They nest under porches and in crawl spaces and climb inside walls to the attic. Tree limbs over the roof let rodents reach gable vents and gaps at the eaves. In the mid-century neighborhoods around the historic district, check crawl space vents and doors, where plumbing enters, and the garage. Historic homes deserve careful sealing: ask for materials that fit old brick and wood, like matched mortar and copper mesh. Bon Air is outside the city, so Chesterfield County, not RVA311, handles property complaints.
