Rodent Control in Maple Heights, OH

What rodents find in Maple Heights

Most of Maple Heights filled in during the 1950s, when small brick and frame bungalows and ranch homes went up on tidy lots. Many have basements, side doors and detached garages. These houses are now old enough that sills, window wells and garage door seals have worn, and that is where mice get in.

The commercial areas are the rat side of the story. Southgate USA, one of the region's older shopping centers, and the strips along Broadway Avenue, Northfield Road and Libby Road have restaurants and stores with dumpsters out back. Rats forage from there into the residential streets nearby.

Vacant homes are another factor in parts of the city. An empty house with an open crawl space or a broken basement window gives rodents a place to live right next to occupied homes.

What a solid job looks like here

Expect a check of the block foundation, the sill plate, basement windows and the garage. Detached garages with stored seed, pet food or trash carts often hold the first mice of the season. If a vacant property next door is the source, seal your own house and report the property to your city or the Cuyahoga County Board of Health.

Maple Heights rodent questions

A vacant house next door has rats. What can I do?

Seal and protect your own home, then report the property. Outside Cleveland, environmental nuisance complaints generally go to the Cuyahoga County Board of Health, and your city may handle property maintenance.

Why are mice in my bungalow's basement every year?

Older sills and window wells develop small gaps, and mice need only about a quarter inch. Sealing those gaps stops the yearly cycle.
