McCune's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Housing ranges from historic farmhouses to Kansas City-metro suburban subdivisions, nearly all built with basements for winter protection. Combined with the area's climate — a climate transitional between the Midwest and Great Plains, with more rainfall than western Kansas — 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.
