Scratching noises in walls at night
We map the travel routes, set traps along the runs, and seal the entry points they are using. Most scratching stops within 5 to 7 days of the first visit. We confirm with a follow-up at 10 to 14 days.

About this service
What Mice Extermination in Ohio Actually Involves
Mice Extermination in Ohio is a licensed, multi-step rodent control process that combines inspection, trapping, baiting, and structural exclusion to remove an active mouse infestation and keep it from returning. We start with a full inspection using flashlights and inspection mirrors to map entry points, nesting areas, and travel routes. From there, we deploy snap traps, glue boards, and bait stations loaded with rodenticide bait blocks. Every gap wider than a pencil gets sealed with copper mesh, steel wool, or exclusion sealant. The job is not finished until the mice are gone and the building is closed up.
Ohio homes face mouse pressure year-round, but the problem spikes in late fall when field mice push indoors looking for warmth. Older housing stock in cities like Springfield and Euclid, with stone foundations and unsealed rim joists, gives mice an easy path into kitchens, basements, and crawl spaces. If you need to get rid of mice in Ohio, a few store-bought traps rarely solve it because the entry points stay open. Our mice removal Ohio teams close those gaps and remove the colony at the same time.

What's included
What Our Mice Extermination Service Includes
Every mice extermination job includes a full inspection, trap and bait placement, exclusion sealing, and at least one follow-up visit. We do not charge extra for sealing materials or follow-up trips. Here is what you get when you book with us.
✓
Full Interior and Exterior Inspection
We inspect the attic, crawl space, basement, kitchen, garage, and exterior foundation. We use flashlights and inspection mirrors to find entry points and travel routes. You get a written summary of what we found and where the mice are getting in.
✓
Trap and Bait Station Placement
We set snap traps, glue boards, and tamper-resistant bait stations along known travel routes. Bait stations are loaded with rodenticide bait blocks from Bell Laboratories, Liphatech, or Neogen. Traps go where mice run, not randomly around the room.
✓
Exclusion Sealing of Entry Points
We seal every gap wider than a quarter-inch with copper mesh, steel wool, and exclusion sealant. Foundation cracks get hardware cloth or wood filler. Pipe penetrations get foam sealant. This is the step that keeps mice from coming back.
✓
Follow-Up Visit and Monitoring
We return 10 to 14 days after the initial service to check traps, replace bait, and confirm activity has dropped. If mice are still moving, we add devices and re-check the exclusion work. Most jobs need one follow-up, some need two.
✓
Sanitation Recommendations
We tell you what to clean and what to throw away. Mouse droppings carry bacteria, and nesting material in insulation needs to go. We point out contaminated areas and give you a straightforward cleanup plan. We do not leave you guessing.
How it works
Our Mice Extermination Process, Step by Step
01
Phone Assessment
We ask where you are seeing mice, hearing noises, or finding droppings. That tells us whether you are dealing with a kitchen infestation, an attic problem, or mice moving through wall voids. The call takes 5 to 10 minutes and we book your inspection on the spot.
02
Full Property Inspection
A state-certified rodent control technician walks the interior and exterior with a flashlight and inspection mirrors. We check the foundation, rim joist, garage, attic, crawl space, and every utility penetration. You get a written summary of what we found and where the mice are getting in.
03
Trapping and Baiting
We set snap traps along known travel routes, place glue boards in tight corners, and load tamper-resistant bait stations with rodenticide bait blocks. Traps go where mice run, not where they might run. Expect 6 to 12 devices on a typical single-family home.
04
Exclusion and Sealing
This is the step most companies skip. We pack copper mesh and steel wool into gaps around pipes, then seal with exclusion sealant and foam sealant. Cracks in the foundation get hardware cloth or wood filler. A typical job closes 8 to 15 entry points in 2 to 3 hours.
05
Follow-Up and Monitoring
We return 10 to 14 days later to check traps, replace bait, and confirm activity has dropped. If mice are still moving, we add devices and re-check the exclusion work. Most infestations are resolved within 2 to 4 weeks.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use for Mice Extermination
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Snap Traps (Victor, JT Eaton)
Placed along walls and travel routes where mice run. Victor and JT Eaton snap traps are the standard for fast, clean kills. We set 6 to 12 per home depending on activity.
Tamper-Resistant Bait Stations
Locked stations loaded with rodenticide bait blocks. Children and pets cannot open them. We anchor them to floors or walls so they cannot be moved. Used in kitchens, basements, and garages.
Copper Mesh and Steel Wool
Packed into gaps around pipes, vents, and foundation cracks. Mice cannot chew through copper mesh or steel wool. We combine them with exclusion sealant for a permanent seal.
Exclusion Sealant and Foam Sealant
Used to seal gaps after packing with mesh. Foam sealant expands to fill irregular voids. Exclusion sealant cures hard and stays flexible. Both are applied with a caulk gun.
Inspection Mirrors and Flashlights
Used to see behind appliances, under cabinets, and into wall voids. A good flashlight and inspection mirror find entry points that are invisible from standing height.
Rodenticide Bait Blocks and Pellet Bait
Placed inside tamper-resistant stations. We use products from Bell Laboratories, Liphatech, Neogen, and BASF. Bait blocks are preferred because they resist moisture and hold up in crawl spaces.
Real results
Before and after.
Cleveland Kitchen Infestation Resolved
Before
Homeowner found droppings in the silverware drawer and chewed flour bags in the pantry. Scratch marks on baseboards. Mice had been active for at least 6 weeks. Two snap traps caught nothing.
After
We sealed 14 entry points around the foundation and behind the stove, set 10 snap traps and 4 bait stations. Droppings stopped within 10 days. Follow-up at 14 days confirmed no activity. Kitchen was clear.
Springfield Attic and Crawl Space Cleanup
Before
Scratching noises in the ceiling every night. Insulation in the attic was tunneled and contaminated with droppings. Crawl space had a strong odor. Homeowner had not been in the attic in years.
After
We removed contaminated insulation, treated the attic and crawl space with traps and bait stations, and sealed 11 entry points including soffit gaps and foundation vents. Activity stopped in 3 weeks. New insulation installed.
Reynoldsburg Garage-to-House Exclusion
Before
Mice were getting into the house through the garage. Droppings along the garage wall and at the base of the interior door. Homeowner caught 4 mice in a month with store-bought traps but more kept coming.
After
We sealed the garage-to-house threshold, installed a door sweep, sealed 8 exterior gaps with copper mesh and sealant, and set bait stations in the garage. No new mice in the house after 2 weeks. Follow-up confirmed clear.
Problems we solve
Common Mouse Problems We Solve in Ohio Homes
Mice cause more than creepy noises. They chew wiring, contaminate food, and ruin insulation. Here are the problems we hear about most and how we fix them.
Ask a pro →↗
Rodent droppings in kitchen drawers and pantry
We place traps and bait stations in the kitchen, seal gaps behind the stove and dishwasher, and treat the pantry area. We also tell you what to discard and how to sanitize. The kitchen is usually clear within 2 weeks.
Gnaw marks on wiring and pipes
We inspect the attic and crawl space for gnaw marks, set heavy trapping along the wiring runs, and seal the entry points near utility penetrations. We also point out damaged wiring so you can get an electrician in.
Mice in the attic and crawl space
We treat the attic and crawl space directly with traps and bait stations, then seal the soffit gaps, foundation vents, and rim joist. We remove contaminated insulation if needed and recommend replacement.

What Ohio Homeowners Say About Our Mice Extermination
★★★★★
“We heard scratching in the wall behind our bed for two weeks. Called Ohio Rodent Control on a Tuesday and they were out Wednesday morning. The technician found 11 entry points around the foundation and sealed every one. Two follow-up visits later, no more noises. Worth every penny.”

“Mice got into our kitchen pantry and chewed through a bag of flour. I tried snap traps for a month and caught three. These guys came out, sealed the gap under the sill plate, and set bait stations. Four weeks later, no droppings, no scratching. Should have called them first.”

✓ Verified★★★★★
“We have kids and a dog, so I was nervous about poison. The technician showed me the tamper-resistant bait stations and explained everything. Traps went in the crawl space, bait stations were locked. Safe, professional, and the mice are gone. Highly recommend.”
LP
Linda P.Homeowner, Reynoldsburg
✓ VerifiedMost mouse extermination jobs in Ohio run $180 to $450 for a single-family home, depending on the number of entry points and the size of the infestation. Larger homes, crawl space infestations, and heavy attic activity can push the price to $600 or more. The price includes inspection, trapping, baiting, and exclusion sealing. Follow-up visits are included in the initial price.
We combine trapping, baiting, and exclusion. Snap traps and glue boards go along travel routes. Tamper-resistant bait stations with rodenticide bait blocks go in areas pets and kids cannot reach. Then we seal every entry point with copper mesh, steel wool, and exclusion sealant. Trapping alone does not work because new mice keep coming through the same gaps.
The first visit takes 2 to 3 hours for a typical home. That covers inspection, trap placement, baiting, and sealing entry points. Most infestations are resolved within 2 to 4 weeks with one follow-up visit at the 10 to 14 day mark. Heavy infestations in older homes may need a second follow-up.
Yes, when it is done correctly. We place all rodenticide bait blocks inside tamper-resistant bait stations that children and pets cannot open. Traps go in crawl spaces, attics, and behind appliances. Every product is applied under our Ohio Department of Agriculture Pesticide Applicator License and follows NPMA and QualityPro safety standards.
