Guthrie's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. A mix of established Oklahoma City-area neighborhoods and newer suburban development, most on slab foundations built for the region's clay soil. Combined with the area's climate — a climate squarely in Tornado Alley, with real seasonal extremes and frequent severe spring thunderstorms — 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.
