Rodent Control Areas Around Killeen
Neighborhoods across Killeen and the towns that share its edges, from Harker Heights to Kempner.
Call for rodent help (254) 276-0111Killeen spreads a long way for a city of its age. The 1880s railroad grid downtown sits a few miles from subdivisions that were open pasture ten years ago, and the rodent problems change with the ground. Older pier-and-beam houses north of the tracks let mice in from below. Newer slab homes on the south side see mice and rats move in from fields that are being graded for the next phase of houses.
Each page below covers one part of the area: the housing, the streets, what tends to draw rats and mice there, and what to ask for when you call.
