Nolan's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. A mix of older agricultural-town homes and newer construction tied to the region's oil and gas economy, most on slab foundations. Combined with the area's climate — a true desert climate near El Paso, with a drier, higher-elevation climate across the rest of West Texas and the Panhandle — 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.
