Slab Gaps
Settling opens seams where the wall meets the foundation.
Veteran-Owned · Warr Acres, Oklahoma
Six decades of settling have opened gaps around slabs, utility lines, and older walls across Warr Acres, and mice find every one when the weather cools. Armory seals them out and clears what got in.
Warr Acres does not have the acreage or open fields that drive rural rodent problems. Its rodent pressure comes from the homes themselves. Ranch houses built in the 1950s and 60s have settled over the decades, opening small gaps where the slab meets the wall, where utility lines enter, and around aging vents and door sweeps. A mouse needs only a dime-sized hole to get in.
Timing sharpens the problem. As Oklahoma cools in fall, mice move indoors toward warmth and food, and older homes on close lots offer plenty of both. Once inside, they nest in wall voids, attics, and garages, gnawing wiring and contaminating stored items. We seal the entry points, trap what is already in, and clean up the mess so the problem does not simply return next season.

Settled ranch construction leaves several ways in.
Settling opens seams where the wall meets the foundation.
Openings around pipes and wiring are classic mouse routes.
Worn sweeps on older doors leave a gap at the threshold.
Aging vents and roofline gaps let rodents into attics.
Cluttered older garages give mice shelter and nesting.
Under-home access points invite rodents in cool months.
We find active rodents and every entry point on the home.
We exclude the gaps settled construction has opened.
We remove the rodents already nesting inside.
We sanitize droppings and nesting to prevent a return.
Exclusion-first control for aging homes.
We find and close the gaps settled ranches open up.
We trap the rodents already inside, not just bait blindly.
We time protection for the cool-weather push indoors.
We clean droppings and nesting to remove attractants.
Placements that keep bait away from kids and pets.
One-time or recurring service with no lock-in.
Every fall we heard mice in the walls of our old ranch. Armory sealed the gaps we never knew about and trapped the rest. Quiet winter for once.
Very knowledgeable. I have him handle pest issues at all of my houses. Quick to respond and gets it done right. Highly recommend.
Could not have had a better experience. They explained the plan, came out fast, and I saw results the first week. Highly recommend Armory.
