A city with older and newer halves

Bartlett is a city in northeast Shelby County, next to Raleigh and Cordova. Its older center runs along Stage Road and Bartlett Boulevard, with homes from the mid-20th century. Newer subdivisions spread north and east. Historic sites like Davies Manor are reminders of the area's farm past, and the old Raleigh courthouse stone was reused to build Bartlett's courthouse.

Creeks and wooded greenbelts run between many neighborhoods.

Rodent patterns in Bartlett

In older sections, mice and rats get in through crawl space vents, gaps under brick and old pipe penetrations, and roof rats use mature trees to reach attics.

In newer subdivisions, garages are the usual start, followed by attics. Roof returns, ridge vents and the openings around AC lines are common entry points.

Creeks and greenbelts give Norway rats burrow sites near backyards. Homes with bird feeders, compost or pet food outside see more of them.

Older Bartlett homes off Stage Road

Homes along the older streets off Stage Road and Bartlett Boulevard are often brick ranches with crawl spaces or low attics and mature trees. Mice get in at foundation vents and around old pipes, and roof rats use the trees. These homes usually need both low and high sealing. Newer homes to the north often need only garage and roofline work. Tell the provider the age of your house when you call so they plan the right visit.

Practical steps

Ask for trapping where activity shows and sealing of the garage, roofline and foundation. Ask the technician to look at the attic even if the activity seems to be only in the garage, since mice and roof rats often use both. If you see burrows near the fence or patio, ask about rat burrow treatment. Keep garbage cart lids closed and pet food inside.
