Have a brick home in Oklahoma City or Edmond? Those small rectangular gaps at the base of your exterior brick wall are weep holes, and they are the most common pest entry point we find on OKC properties. Earwigs, spiders, roaches, and silverfish use them as direct highways into your walls and living space.
What Are Weep Holes

Why Weep Holes Are the Biggest Pest Entry Point in OKC Brick Homes

Weep holes are intentional gaps left in the mortar joints of brick veneer at the base of exterior walls. They exist to drain water from behind the brick. The problem is they are also open, unobstructed entry points for every crawling pest in Oklahoma City.

How big are weep holes

Standard weep holes are 3/8 inch wide, more than large enough for earwigs, spiders, roaches, silverfish, ants, and even small mice to enter freely.

Where they are located

At the base of brick veneer walls, typically 6 inches above the foundation line and spaced every 24-33 inches around the full perimeter of your OKC home.

Why they cannot just be filled

Blocking weep holes entirely causes moisture to build up behind the brick, leading to mold, rot, and structural damage. The solution is mesh inserts that block pests while maintaining airflow and drainage.

Most common pests entering through weep holes in OKC

Earwigs are the most common. Brown recluse spiders, cockroaches, silverfish, ants, and occasionally mice also use weep holes as primary entry points in Oklahoma City brick homes.

How It Works

Our Weephole Exclusion Process in Oklahoma City

1

Full perimeter inspection

We walk the full exterior of your OKC home and count every weep hole, documenting their location and condition. We also identify any weep holes that are damaged, already blocked, or showing signs of active pest entry.

2

Professional mesh insert installation

We install purpose-built copper mesh inserts into each weep hole. The mesh is sized to block insects and small rodents while maintaining full drainage and airflow, critical for the structural integrity of your brick veneer.

3

Treatment of active entry areas

If pest activity is detected around the weep holes during installation, we treat the area with residual product as part of the service. This eliminates any pests already attempting to use those entry points.

4

Documentation and follow-up

We document the number of weep holes sealed and confirm the completed work with you. Weephole exclusion works best alongside a regular pest control plan. The exclusion stops entry while ongoing treatment addresses the outdoor population.

Common Questions

Weephole Exclusion FAQ: Oklahoma City

What is weephole exclusion and why do I need it in Oklahoma City?
Weephole exclusion is the process of installing mesh inserts into the weep holes of brick veneer walls to prevent pests from entering your home. Weep holes are required by building code for drainage but are also the most common pest entry point in OKC brick homes. Earwigs, spiders, roaches, and silverfish all use them as direct entry points into your walls.
How much does weephole exclusion cost in Oklahoma City?
Axcel's weephole exclusion service starts at $229 for homes up to 2,700 sqft, $299 for 2,701-3,500 sqft, $399 for 3,501-6,000 sqft, and $499 for larger homes. One-time service with no recurring charge. Free inspection and exact quote before work begins. Call (405) 312-8525.
Will sealing weep holes damage my brick home?
Not when done correctly. We use purpose-built mesh inserts, not solid plugs. The mesh allows water drainage and airflow to continue normally, critical for brick veneer integrity, while blocking insects and small rodents. Completely blocking weep holes with caulk or foam is what causes moisture damage and should never be done.
Will weephole exclusion stop my earwig problem in OKC?
It significantly reduces earwig entry from outside. Weep holes are the primary structural entry point earwigs use to get into OKC brick homes. Sealing them eliminates that pathway. For best results, weephole exclusion works alongside regular perimeter pest control treatment to address both the entry points and the outdoor population in your mulch beds and soil.
Does my Oklahoma City home have weep holes?
If your home has brick veneer exterior walls, yes. Look for small rectangular gaps in the mortar joints at the base of the brick, typically about 6 inches above the ground and spaced every 2 to 3 feet around the perimeter. Most OKC brick homes built after 1970 have them. We confirm during our free inspection.
