Lupton's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. A mix of traditional and modern single-family homes, manufactured housing, and newer tribal housing developments spread across a large, sparsely populated area. Combined with the area's climate — an arid plateau climate defined by extremes — hot days, cold nights, and real winter cold despite being desert terrain — 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.
