Mice and rats are opportunists, and Gilmer properties give them plenty of opportunity. A mix of established mid-century neighborhoods and rapidly expanding new suburban subdivisions, most on slab foundations over expansive clay soil. Once inside a wall void or attic space, they're difficult to remove without sealing the entry point that let them in.
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.
