Blanco's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Housing here is spread across a wide, low-density area and includes traditional homes, manufactured housing, and tribal-built developments. Combined with the area's climate — a high, dry climate with colder winters than the Rio Grande valley and a wide daily temperature range typical of high-desert plateau country — 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.
