Common Rodent Species in Lawton and the Surrounding Areas

Oklahoma's diverse climate and abundant food sources create ideal conditions for several rodent species. Understanding these species is crucial for effective control because each type has distinct behaviors, preferred habitats, and reproduction patterns requiring specialized treatment approaches.

The most problematic rodent species in Lawton include:

• Norway rats. These large, aggressive rodents prefer ground-level areas like basements, crawl spaces, and first floors, where they build extensive burrow systems and can chew through concrete, wood, and even soft metals to access food sources.
• Roof rats. Also known as black rats, these agile climbers prefer upper levels of buildings and attics, where they build nests in insulation and can cause significant damage to electrical wiring and HVAC systems.
• House mice. These small but prolific breeders can squeeze through openings as small as a dime and reproduce rapidly, with females capable of producing up to 10 litters per year in Lawton's favorable climate conditions.
• Deer mice. Common in the rural areas around Lawton, these mice carry hantavirus and other serious diseases, making professional elimination critical for protecting your family's health and safety.
• Cotton rats. These outdoor rodents often invade homes during Oklahoma's extreme weather events, seeking shelter and food sources while carrying fleas and ticks that can spread additional diseases.
• Wood rats. Also called pack rats, these large rodents collect debris and build massive nests in attics, garages, and storage areas, creating fire hazards and structural damage over time.
