Winston's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. A mix of historic intown neighborhoods and some of the fastest new-home construction in the Southeast, most on slab or crawl-space foundations. Combined with the area's climate — a four-season climate with generally mild winters and long, humid summers — 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.
