Solomon's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Older mining-company homes and later ranch-style construction share hillside terrain here, with newer building filling in where the land allows. Combined with the area's climate — a high-desert climate at elevated elevation, hotter than the mountain zones but cooler than the Phoenix valley, with a real monsoon 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.
