Ochopee's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. A mix of established neighborhoods and newer resort-adjacent development, nearly all built on slab foundations. Combined with the area's climate — a tropical climate with hot, humid conditions nearly year-round and a pronounced hurricane season — 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.
