Polo Park sits on Midland's growing north side, off Loop 250, where newer homes back onto open lots and undeveloped land. That combination catches a lot of homeowners off guard: a house only a few years old, and already rodents in the garage or scratching in the wall. The reason is simple. New construction is not sealed against rodents by default, and the open ground nearby is full of mice, rats, and packrats looking for shelter.
Rodent help in Polo Park starts with an inspection that reads the newer construction and the open ground around it, then a plan to clear the rodents and seal the way in.
New homes, open ground
The pressure here is the mix of new builds and raw land. Open lots bring packrats right up to the property, and they head for garages, sheds, and stored vehicles, so newer homes with big garages and an RV or trailer on the lot see packrat activity fast. Mice and rats push into the home through the gaps builders leave. Control reads the whole lot, not just the house.
Sealing new construction
New does not mean rodent-proof. The inspection maps the weep holes, garage-door gaps, and slab and utility penetrations, and the openings get closed with materials rodents cannot chew through. Any packrat nest in the garage or a stored vehicle gets cleared. Trapping clears what is inside; the sealing keeps a newer home from refilling from the open ground next door.
