Eggleston's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Older wood-frame homes dominate much of this mountainous region, many with basements built for genuine winter cold. Combined with the area's climate — a cooler, wetter climate than the rest of the state, shaped by elevation and forest cover — 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.
