Roans Prairie's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Slab-on-grade homes dominate, built to handle the region's heavy rainfall and flat, flood-prone terrain. Combined with the area's climate — one of the most humid climates in the continental U.S., with year-round pest activity and minimal winter dormancy — 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.
