Porum's housing stock shapes exactly where rodents get in. Housing here ranges from early-1900s oil-boom construction in Tulsa to more rural, wooded-lot homes toward the Ozark foothills. Combined with the area's climate — a climate shaped by the region's proximity to the Ozark Plateau, wetter and greener than the plains further west — 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.
