Ogden's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Wood-frame homes on larger rural lots dominate here, from historic farm construction to newer recreation-driven development. Combined with the area's climate — an arid to semi-arid climate with hot summers and cold winters, varying from warm low-desert terrain to colder high-elevation valleys — 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.
