Altus Afb's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Slab-on-grade construction dominates here, common throughout central Oklahoma's expansive clay-soil terrain. Combined with the area's climate — a hot, windy climate with generally short winters and increasingly dry conditions the farther west you go — rodents seeking shelter from weather extremes make a beeline for any accessible gap.
Exclusion is the core of effective rodent control: finding and sealing every gap a mouse or rat could use to get inside, since traps alone just remove the current population without stopping the next one. We pair exterior sealing with interior trapping or bait stations, then follow up to confirm the problem is resolved.
