Pest problems that surface as visible damage in Flower Mound usually started 6-18 months earlier in hidden harborage. The detection delay shapes the cost curve.
Construction-related rodent dynamics
Active construction sites in neighborhoods displace rodents that relocate to nearby established homes. New construction within a quarter mile of your property often correlates with new indoor rodent activity within 60-90 days.
Field experience across Flower Mound properties consistently confirms this pattern matters more than statewide averages suggest.
Wall-cavity mouse populations entering through weeps
Brick weep holes 3/8 inch wide admit mice readily into wall cavities. Stainless steel weep hole covers — designed for this specific purpose — exclude rodents without affecting the moisture drainage the weep holes provide.
Field experience across Flower Mound properties consistently confirms this pattern matters more than statewide averages suggest.
Refrigerator pipe penetrations as overlooked entry
Chest freezers and garage refrigerators provide warm motor compartments that attract winter rodent harborage. Annual cleaning of these compartments and gap sealing where pipes enter the unit prevents nesting establishment.
The pattern repeats consistently enough across Denton County properties to warrant standard attention rather than case-by-case treatment.
Stainless steel chimney caps and multi-species exclusion
Open chimney flues without functioning caps admit rodents directly into home interiors. Chimney caps with stainless steel mesh exclude rodents, birds, bats, and squirrels simultaneously for the cost of one service call.
