Bartow's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Slab construction is standard here, built for heat and humidity rather than winter cold. Combined with the area's climate — a humid subtropical climate with hot, wet summers and mild, drier winters — rodents seeking shelter from weather extremes make a beeline for any accessible gap.
Exclusion is the core of effective rodent control: finding and sealing every gap a mouse or rat could use to get inside, since traps alone just remove the current population without stopping the next one. We pair exterior sealing with interior trapping or bait stations, then follow up to confirm the problem is resolved.
