Why You’re Seeing More Mice in Cincinnati Homes This Fall (And What to Do About It)

As the leaves start to fall in Cincinnati, mice begin sneaking indoors looking for food and warmth. If you’ve heard scratching in the walls or seen droppings in the pantry, it’s time to take action.

Why Mice Are a Big Problem in Cincinnati

Our mix of older homes and seasonal temperature drops make Cincinnati a hotspot for rodent activity:

The Risks

  • Mice chew wires, creating fire hazards.
  • Leave droppings that contaminate food and surfaces.
  • Can carry salmonella and hantavirus.

Signs You Have a Mouse Infestation

  • Scratching or gnawing sounds at night.
  • Droppings in cabinets, drawers, or pantries.
  • Chewed food packaging or nesting material.
  • Unusual pet behavior, especially at night.

Why DIY Rodent Control Fails

  • Traps catch individual mice but don’t address nests.
  • Entry points are often missed or reopened.
  • Mice reproduce quickly—one pair can lead to dozens.
