Wittmann's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Stucco-and-block construction is the regional standard here, built directly on concrete slabs with block-wall property lines instead of wood fencing. Combined with the area's climate — a desert climate where summer heat is the dominant fact of life, and where mild winters mean pest pressure never really resets to zero — 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.
