Why Glendale Has Very High Rodent Risk From the Verdugo Mountains
Glendale's hillside neighborhoods bordering Verdugo Mountain open space experience Very High rodent risk because the wildlife-urban interface is permanent and continuous. Rats, raccoons, and skunks that live in Verdugo Mountain habitat treat residential yards as foraging territory every night. Unlike urban rodent pressure that can be partially managed by reducing commercial food waste, Verdugo Mountain-origin rodents are supported by the permanent natural food chain of the open space. Fall and winter intensify pressure as hillside rodents descend seeking warmth and water. Flatland central Glendale faces a separate Norway rat pressure from Brand Blvd and the Americana at Brand's food operations. Forest Lawn Memorial Park's extensive landscaped grounds also sustain rodent populations adjacent to residential areas in central Glendale.
