Kincaid's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. A blend of established farm-country homes and newer suburban growth closer to the St. Louis metro area. Combined with the area's climate — a humid continental climate with hot, humid summers and milder winters than the rest of the state, warmer overall the farther south you go — 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.
