Pest Control in Carrier, Oklahoma

Carrier sits about seven miles northwest of Enid on State Highway 132. Settlers came after the 1893 Cherokee Outlet opening, the town was platted in 1903 when a rail line from Enid to Avard was planned, and it incorporated in 1972. The 2020 census counted 87 people.

Homes in and around Carrier sit close to fields and pasture, which shapes what people call about: mice in the fall, ticks and wasps in the summer and spiders in the outbuildings.

Homes Next to Fields

Field edges and tall grass bring ticks in late spring and summer. Mowing a wide strip around the house and outbuildings helps, and so does keeping dogs on a tick product from the vet.

Fall brings mice in from the fields. Seal around pipes and doors before the cold, and keep feed and seed in metal containers.

Wasps on Porches and Sheds

Paper wasps like porch ceilings, eaves and shed overhangs, and yellowjackets nest in the ground. If you've got a nest by a door or in a wall, wasp removal is the safer call.

• Check porch ceilings and eaves in early summer
• Watch for wasps going in and out of holes in the ground
• Keep trash cans closed in late summer and fall
