Roof Rats thrive in elevated runways — attics, rooflines, trees, utility lines, dense hedges, and any fruit-tree yard that connects to a roof, which is exactly what Aiea offers — older hillside housing stock, valley humidity, and proximity to Pearl Harbor's waterfront create year-round pest pressure.
