Visible pest damage in Corsicana structures usually traces back to harborage homeowners couldn't see during routine maintenance.
Reading burrow openings as colony size indicators
Norway rats in Navarro County dig burrows along foundations and under outbuildings. A single burrow opening suggests a colony of 4-8 rats; multiple burrow openings 6-10 feet apart suggest 10+ individuals with established food caches.
This is one of the harder issues to catch early without a trained eye on the property.
Long-term mouse access without sealant intervention
Foundation settlement in older homes creates hairline gaps where slab meets exterior wall. These gaps admit mice for the structural life of the home unless caulked or filled with copper mesh during the next maintenance cycle.
This is one of the harder issues to catch early without a trained eye on the property.
Why roof rats need less water than ground rats
Norway rats need 1-2 ounces of water daily; roof rats need less because they get hydration from food. Outdoor pet water bowls on patios sustain Norway rat populations through dry summer weeks when natural water is scarce.
Field experience across Corsicana properties consistently confirms this pattern matters more than statewide averages suggest.
60-90 day inventory rotation as mouse control
House mice nest in pantry shelf back corners where stored grains and seeds sit undisturbed for months. Pantry inventory rotation every 60-90 days disrupts the stable harborage that allows mouse colonies to expand.
Detection at this stage gives treatment options that aren't available once activity has progressed.
