With the city's older architecture, lush greenery and moderate seasonal temperatures, Cincinnati residents are no strangers to household pests. Some of the most common intruders in the area include termites, ants, bedbugs, cockroaches and mice. These pests are more than just an annoyance — they can cause health problems for your family and do serious structural damage to your home.

Common pests in Cincinnati

Bed bugs in Cincinnati often move from person to person, and they can travel between the rooms of apartment buildings and hotels. If you notice bites on your skin, blood spots on your bedding or evidence of bugs in your mattress, contact a professional right away. Bed bug exterminators in Cincinnati will evaluate the bug problem and recommend one of the following treatments:

Heat treatment
Steam treatment
Insecticides

According to a 2018 study by Terminix, Cincinnati is the 5th worst city for bedbugs, but it's also the 14th most termite-infested city in the United States. These destructive insects eat into the wooden parts of your home, causing extensive damage and structural instability. In this part of the country, the most common type of termites are subterranean termites that feed on wooden parts of your home close to the ground. Pesticides are the most common treatment for termites in Cincinnati. Pest control companies apply chemicals to the wood or the soil around it, eliminating active infestations and preventing termites from returning to your home.

for bed bugs

Rodents are also common pests in Cincinnati and surrounding areas — mice seek refuge in homes, looking for food and shelter from inclement weather. Once inside, they breed quickly and can spread diseases like salmonella and listeria. They commonly build their nests in attics, behind appliances or in the walls. Mice exterminators evaluate your home for potential entry points and use traps to remove the infestation.

Moles are another unfortunate fixture in Cincinnati, thanks to tempting local food sources like cicada swarms, white grubs and earthworms. Moles dig up lawns, kill seedlings and destroy sprinkler systems. Mole removal companies in Cincinnati might recommend trapping moles in specialized traps and using grub control to limit their food source.

Snakes are a startling home pest for most Cincinnatians, particularly snakes with painful or venomous bites. The most common types of snakes found in Cincinnati are garter snakes, black rat snakes, common water snakes, eastern hognose snakes and northern ring-necked snakes. Most Ohio snakes are nonvenomous and can be lured into your home by mice or other potential sources of food. A professional pest control company will trap the snake and implement solutions to remove the snake's food source.
