Rodent Control in Oklahoma City
We do not just set traps and leave. Armory removes mice and rats, then seals the gaps they use to get in, so the rodents stay out for good.
- Trapping and removal
- Entry-point exclusion that seals them out
- Attic and crawl space inspection
- Follow-up monitoring included
Why Rodent Control Needs Exclusion
Rodents are more than a nuisance. They carry disease, contaminate food, ruin insulation, and chew through electrical wiring, which is a leading cause of unexplained house fires. Scratching in the walls means it is time to act.
Most companies set a few traps and leave. That removes the rodents you have today but does nothing to stop the next ones from following the same path inside. The problem simply returns.
Armory works in phases: inspect the property, trap and remove what is there, then seal every entry point. Exclusion is the step that actually keeps rodents out, and it is what makes our results last.

Why Trapping Alone Is Not Enough
Traps catch the rodents inside today, but they do nothing about the gap those rodents came through. Mice can slip through an opening the size of a dime, and rats through a hole the size of a quarter. Leave the gap, and new rodents follow the same scent trail in.
Exclusion is the difference between a temporary fix and a lasting one. By sealing entry points with steel and sealant, we close the door for good. That is why our process pairs trapping with thorough exclusion every time.
Sealing the structure once also pays off long term. You are not paying for repeat trapping season after season, which makes exclusion the most cost-effective part of real rodent control over the life of your home.
Rodents Are a Health and Fire Risk
Rodents contaminate food and surfaces with droppings and urine, and they can spread disease through what they touch. Their nesting in attics and walls ruins insulation and leaves lingering odors that are hard to remove.
The bigger danger is fire. Rodents gnaw constantly, including on electrical wiring, which is a known cause of unexplained house fires. If you suspect rodent activity near electrical systems, it is worth acting quickly.
The damage adds up quietly, too. Rodents shred insulation for nests, foul stored items, and chew through ductwork and pipes. Catching an infestation early limits that destruction and the cleanup that comes with it.
Rodent Control FAQs
- Common signs include droppings, gnaw marks on packaging or baseboards, scratching sounds in walls or ceilings, and nesting material like shredded paper. Mouse droppings are small, while rat droppings are larger, which helps tell them apart.
- Mice fit through gaps as small as a dime and rats through quarter-sized openings. Common entries include dryer vents, weep holes, garage door seals, pipe penetrations, and foundation cracks, which we find and seal during service.
- We primarily use snap traps and exclusion for interior rodent control, with bait stations reserved for exterior use where appropriate. We prioritize methods that are safe for your family and pets while still solving the problem.
- Active trapping usually takes one to two weeks, and exclusion is often completed in a single visit. We include follow-up monitoring to confirm the rodents are gone and the entry points are sealed for good.
- Yes. Rodents chew on electrical wiring, which is a leading cause of unexplained house fires. If you suspect rodent activity near electrical systems, it is worth scheduling an inspection promptly to reduce the risk.
- Mice are smaller, breed indoors, and enter through tiny gaps, so control focuses on interior trapping and sealing. Rats are larger, often burrow outside, and need exterior bait stations plus interior trapping and exclusion.
- Cost depends on the size of your home and the extent of the problem. We provide a free inspection and a written quote with no hidden fees, so you know the full price before any work begins.
