Eloy's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Single-story and two-story stucco homes on slab foundations dominate, with irrigated or xeriscaped yards and block walls in place of basements. Combined with the area's climate — a hot, low-desert climate with brutally hot summers — 110°F+ is routine from June through August — and mild, dry 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.
