Royal's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Wood-frame construction dominates here, spread across rural homes bordered by pine timber and more modest in-town housing. Combined with the area's climate — a humid subtropical climate with a long, hot growing season and mild winters, shaped by the surrounding pine timberland — 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.
