Rodent control in Hunters Glen, Plano
Hunters Glen is an established Plano neighborhood spread over the 75023 and 75025 ZIP codes, on streets like Trophy Dr. and Apple Valley Rd. It's classic Plano: brick homes, back alleys, rear garages and trees that are now as tall as the houses.
Most rodent trouble here is roof rats in the attic and mice in the garage, and the alley is usually how both arrive.
The alley route
The rear alley is how a lot of roof rats arrive. They run the fence tops, cross to the garage roof and reach the main roof from there. Trim any branches that hang over the garage, and keep the area behind the garage clear of stacked lumber and old furniture. Roof rat control explains the attic side.
Trash carts lined up along the alley fence matter too. A cart with a cracked lid or bags stacked beside it feeds rats all week. Plano provides 68- and 95-gallon carts; if yours is damaged, the city's collection cart page covers how to request a new one.
Older seals, same fixes
Garage door seals in North Texas sun don't last forever, and caulk around pipes shrinks. A technician will check the slab edge, the weep holes and the AC lines. If mice have been in the garage, garage rodent control covers it.

Neighbors matter
On a block where every house backs onto the same alley, rats move along the fence line from yard to yard. If you seal your house and your neighbor's woodpile is still feeding them, the pressure stays. Talk to the people on either side, and share what the technician found.
Spring and fall checks
A ten-minute walk around the house in March and again in September catches most problems early. Look up at the roof returns and vents, look down at the garage door seal and the weep holes, and check the alley side of the garage for droppings. The fall checklist has the full list.

Questions from this part of town
Do neighbors' trees matter?
They can. A neighbor's branch over your roof is still a path. Talk to them, or ask the technician what they see.
Our trash cart lid is cracked. Does it matter?
Yes. Rats feed from damaged carts. Ask the city for a replacement.
We hear running over the garage. Is that the attic too?
Usually it's the attic space over the garage, which often connects to the main attic. Have both checked.
