Oklahoma averages 194 hailstorms a year — and solicitors follow every one. In Tulsa, canvassers have been documented tailgating through gated community security gates to access private neighborhoods. They arrive on hoverboards. They return after dark. KnockBlock puts you back in control.
Oklahoma's hail frequency is so extreme that it has created a permanent storm chaser economy. Contractors exploit genuine supply chain shortages. Solicitors bypass private security gates. The state's homeowners spend nearly 7% of their income on insurance — and door-knockers follow the money.
We live in a gated community and they tailgate through the gate behind residents. Then they canvass our streets multiple times a day and come back at 8 PM after we've already told them no. There is nowhere to hide in Oklahoma.
From affluent north OKC suburbs to Tulsa's eastern residential corridors — storm chasers follow the radar, and security companies follow year-round.
Several OKC and Tulsa suburbs have built impressive registry systems. The problem is structural — police cannot proactively remove permitted solicitors from sidewalks without a homeowner filing a formal complaint in real time. The burden is on you.

Documented community complaints from Oklahoma homeowners across Reddit, local news, and BBB reports.
We live in a gated community. They tailgate through the security gate behind residents. Then they canvass our private streets multiple times a day and come back at 8 PM to people who already said no. It's brazen.
After the April storm there were roofing companies on my street within hours. They all said my insurance claim window was closing and I needed to sign a contingency agreement immediately. I later found out that was completely false.
BBB is warning OKC residents again about storm chasers. It's the same warning every year after every storm. The warning doesn't stop them. They're back the next day.
You've tried the signs. You know the registries. Solicitors still show up. Here's what makes KnockBlock different — and why it works where everything else has failed.
City registries are reactive. Police can't respond in real time. KnockBlock creates the private, verified protection layer that works even when everything else fails.
