Reliance's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Wood-frame ranch homes with basements dominate here, built to withstand the region's brutal winter cold and constant wind. Combined with the area's climate — a harsh, high-elevation climate with long, cold winters and a short, mild summer 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.
