About rodent control
House mice, Norway rats, and roof rats move into Tulsa area homes as soon as nights cool in September. They nest in attics, walls, garages, and under appliances.
Rodents chew wires, ruin insulation, and leave droppings that can spread disease. Poison alone often leaves dead rodents in walls. The lasting fix is to remove them and seal the gaps they used to get in.
Warning signs
Signs you need rodent control
- Scratching in walls or the attic at night
- Droppings in drawers, pantries, or under sinks
- Chewed food boxes, bags, or wires
- Greasy rub marks along walls
- Nests made of paper, fabric, or insulation
- Pets staring at or pawing at walls
Know the pest
Rodents we treat
| Type | What to know |
|---|---|
| House mouse | Small, gray brown, fits through a dime sized hole. Most common indoor rodent in Oklahoma. |
| Norway rat | Large and heavy. Burrows near foundations, sheds, and wood piles. |
| Roof rat | Slim, good climber. Travels along trees and power lines into attics. |
| Deer mouse | Found near fields and new subdivisions. Can carry hantavirus, so droppings need careful cleanup. |
Our process
How we handle rodent control
Inspect
We find where rodents enter, travel, and nest, from the roofline to the foundation.
Remove
We set traps and tamper resistant bait stations in safe places away from kids and pets.
Seal
We close entry points with steel mesh, sealant, and other rodent proof materials.
Follow up
We return to check traps and confirm the activity has stopped.
Pricing
How much does rodent control cost?
| Service | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Inspection | Free |
| Trapping program | $150 to $350 |
| Trapping plus sealing entry points | $300 to $600 or more |
| Follow up checks | Included in most programs |
Sealing work is the biggest factor. Homes with many gaps at the roofline or garage take more time.
Prevention
How to prevent it
- Seal gaps around pipes, vents, and garage doors
- Store pet food and bird seed in metal or hard plastic bins
- Trim branches 3 feet away from the roof
- Keep firewood away from the house
- Clean up fallen fruit and pet waste in the yard
We only use EPA registered products and follow the label, as Oklahoma law requires. Tell us about kids, pets, fish tanks, or anyone with asthma and we will adjust the treatment.
FAQ
Common questions
How long does it take to get rid of mice?
Most homes are clear in 1 to 3 weeks once entry points are sealed.
Do you use poison inside the home?
We prefer traps inside. Bait is used in locked stations, usually outside.
Why do mice come back after I trapped them?
The entry points were not sealed. New mice follow the same paths in.
Are rodent droppings dangerous?
They can carry bacteria and viruses. Do not sweep or vacuum them dry. Wet them with disinfectant first and wear gloves.
When are rodents worst in Oklahoma?
From September through February when they look for warm shelter.
