Cal Nev Ari's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. A dense mix of stucco tract homes on concrete slabs, ranging from 1990s-2000s construction to newer builds on the valley's expanding edge. Combined with the area's climate — a desert climate defined by extreme summer heat and very low humidity, with a short, mild winter — 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.
