Pleasant Ridge is one of Cincinnati’s most walkable east-side neighborhoods: a tight grid of 1920s brick two-stories and Tudor-style homes around the Montgomery Road business district, with tree-lined streets like Ridge, Woodford, and Losantiville running back toward Kennedy Heights and Amberley. Those handsome older homes, with their brick foundations, full basements, and mature landscaping, come with the kind of pest pressure that older housing stock always does. Delhi Pest Control is a family-owned Cincinnati company, licensed and in business since 1982, and we’re glad to bring that experience across town to Pleasant Ridge homeowners.
Neighborhood Pest Control for Pleasant Ridge
The pests we get called about most in Pleasant Ridge track the neighborhood’s older, densely built character:
- Ants: odorous house ants and pavement ants working in through mortar joints, basement cracks, and the gaps around porches on century-old brick homes
- Mice: a classic call in Pleasant Ridge’s older two-stories once nights cool off, slipping in through foundation gaps and around utility lines into basements and kitchens
- Mosquitoes: shaded backyards and mature tree cover near the Pleasant Ridge Montessori area and the side streets off Montgomery Road hold the damp, still air mosquitoes rest in
- Wasps and hornets: paper wasps under the deep eaves and porch roofs common on the neighborhood’s older homes, plus yellowjackets in late summer
- Spiders and occasional invaders: full basements and stone foundations invite spiders, centipedes, and silverfish, especially in the older housing along Ridge Road
Our Pest Control for Pleasant Ridge
We don’t do one-size-fits-all. We start by identifying what’s actually happening at your home, treat the problem at its source inside and out, and set up a plan to keep it from coming back. Older Pleasant Ridge homes reward that approach, because the entry points on a 1920s brick house are different from those on new construction, and knowing where to look is half the job. Our licensed technicians are trained, insured, and take the time to explain what they’re doing and why.
Many Pleasant Ridge homeowners choose our Tri-Shield recurring plan, which covers the common pests year-round with scheduled exterior service, so you’re protected through every season instead of reacting problem by problem. One-time and targeted treatments are available too.

- Treat the source, not just the symptom: lasting results, not a one-day knockdown
- Recurring or one-time service: whatever fits your home

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you service Pleasant Ridge?
Yes. Pleasant Ridge, the Montgomery Road corridor, and the surrounding east-side neighborhoods are part of our service area.
Why do I keep getting ants in an older brick home?
Older Pleasant Ridge homes have more of the mortar gaps, foundation cracks, and porch and basement entry points ants use to get in. We identify the species, bait the colony at its source, and seal up the routes they’re using rather than just wiping down the trail.
What’s the best option for ongoing protection?
Our Tri-Shield recurring plan covers the common Pleasant Ridge pests year-round with scheduled service, which is more effective, and usually more affordable, than one-off treatments after a problem starts.
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes. Our licensed technicians apply all products per label and safety guidelines, and we’re happy to walk you through specifics before we treat.
