What we see here
Larger lots with outbuildings, sheds, and stored equipment give rodents plenty of harborage away from the house before they find their way in.
Mobile and manufactured home communities here need particular attention at skirting and utility penetrations, which is where mice get under.
Fire ant mounds are common in the open turf, and they rebuild fast after heavy rain.
