TWO KINDS OF PROPERTY
The rodent job in Willow Park depends which half you live on
On the acreage side it is the outbuildings. Barns, shops and woodpiles are where rodents settle first, and from there the house is a short walk across a yard that offers plenty of cover. That version of the job is mostly about the structures around the house and the boundary where the mown grass gives up.
On the new subdivision side it is the house itself, which surprises people. A two-year-old Willow Park build is tighter than an old one everywhere except a few predictable places: the corners of the garage door, the gap where the air conditioning line set passes through the wall, and penetrations that were foamed and never finished properly.
We run the same four steps either way — inspect, seal, trap, return — but where the time goes is entirely different, which is why the inspection is not a formality on either side of town.
WHAT IT RUNS HERE
The price of adding rodent control in Willow Park
Twenty-five dollars a month, on top of Home Defender or Complete Home & Lawn Defense. We do not sell it alone, and the price does not move with the size of the house, the number of outbuildings or how many openings turn out to need closing.
The plan under it does move with the house. A subdivision home of 1,500 to 3,000 square feet carries Home Defender at $33 to $38, so the total is $58 to $63; the larger builds and acreage houses at 3,000 to 4,500 square feet run $38 to $46, making $63 to $71. Complete Home & Lawn Defense adds treatment of the whole yard, from $40. There is no contract to sign and no fee if you stop.

STRAIGHT LIMITS
Three things the add-on does not take care of
It does not re-hang a garage door. That is the most common rodent entrance on a newer Willow Park house, and when the seal has gone hard or the door sits unevenly on the slab, the fix is a garage door company. We can show you the daylight at the corner; we cannot adjust the door.
It does not deal with feed and seed. Horse feed, chicken scratch and birdseed stored in bags rather than metal bins keep a barn population fed through any amount of trapping. That one is genuinely yours to solve, and it is the single biggest thing an acreage owner can change.
It also will not reach a neighbour's ground. On the edges of town where lots back onto pasture and building sites, the cover behind the fence keeps producing animals. Your house and your outbuildings can still be closed to them, and that is what you are buying.
BUILDER WARRANTY OR SEALING
Waiting for the builder to close it, or closing it now
If the house is still in warranty it is worth asking, and occasionally you get somewhere — a garage door that was hung badly or a penetration that was never sealed is a legitimate warranty item. Be realistic about the timeline, though, and about what a builder considers a defect; a quarter-inch gap at a line set rarely qualifies, and rodents are not waiting for the answer.
The case for sealing it now is that the materials are different anyway. Builders foam and caulk, which is fine for draughts and useless against teeth. What holds is copper mesh, steel and hardware cloth, and none of that stops you pursuing the warranty claim afterwards if you want to.
WHERE WE START
What gets inspected on a Willow Park property
The garage, corner to corner
On any newer house this gets looked at first. We check both bottom corners of the main door, the seal along the slab, the side jamb and the gap where the door track meets the wall, because that combination is how most mice reach a Willow Park garage and then the pantry wall behind it.
Line sets, hose bibs and the brick
Every point where something passes through the wall gets checked: the air conditioning line set, hose bibs, gas and electrical penetrations, dryer vents. The weep holes themselves are already packed with copper mesh and dusted under both year-round plans, so it is the openings beside them that matter.
Barn, shop and the boundary
On acreage we inspect the outbuildings properly and walk the line where the mown yard meets pasture. Nesting in stored gear, gnawed feed sacks and runs through the taller grass all get noted, and traps and locked stations go where that sign leads.
