Rodent activity: which option to go with?

[Edita D.]

Hello guys!

The pest control confirmed rodent activity at our building (San Diego, CA), and recommended 2 options:

1. To set up bait boxes to service, and quoted us 35$ every other month, and this would be an ONGOING service.

2. Replace all 5 garage doors (the building is old (built in 1960), it's a Duplex with 2 units on 2nd floor and 5 garages and a laundry room on 1st floor) which can be expensive.

Have you had this problem and how did you deal with it? I think 35$ every other month is a reasonable offer vs replacing all 5 garage doors, it's just unsettling to think this will be going on for who knows how long...

Thanks!
