Parowan's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. A blend of established rural homes and newer construction, with manufactured housing common in more remote areas. Combined with the area's climate — a high-desert climate with real seasonal extremes and low year-round humidity throughout rural Utah — 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.
