Fairview Park was literally named for its view over the Metroparks, and that border with Cleveland Metroparks’ Rocky River Reservation along the city’s eastern edge still shapes the neighborhood today. Most homes here were built between the 1950s and 1970s; these solid bungalows, Cape Cods, and colonials are now 50 to 70 years old, with all the aging rooflines, foundations, and window seals that come with a home that age. Combined with the tree cover and green space from the bordering Metroparks land, it’s a reliable setup for mice, ants, and seasonal invaders looking for a way in as the weather turns.
Common pest pressures in Fairview Park
Mice, especially in homes 50+ years old with aging foundations and entry points around door and window seals
Ants, including carpenter ants in older homes with any moisture-damaged wood
Spiders, common in homes bordering the Metroparks’ wooded Rocky River Reservation land
Overwintering pests (boxelder bugs, ladybugs, stink bugs) seeking entry each fall
Wildlife, including squirrels and occasional raccoons near the park border

Why Edgewater residents and landlords choose us
Homes built in the 1950s-70s boom have held up well structurally, but 50-70 years of settling means new entry points open up over time in ways a homeowner won’t necessarily notice. We specialize in finding and sealing those, not just treating whatever pest happens to be visible that day.
Local expertise
Owner Shawn Payne’s two decades of hands-on pest management and horticulture work, including with the City of Cleveland’s Rockefeller Park Greenhouse, translates directly to the mid-century housing stock and Metroparks-bordering lots common throughout Fairview Park.

From the moment I spoke to Simone on the phone, I knew I was in good hands. She listened intently to the issue I was calling about, told me she would discuss a resolution shortly with her boss and get back to me. She contacted me shortly after with a potential solution and a few days later, Shawn showed up at my home ready to work. He went above and beyond for me and could not have been kinder. I highly recommend you call Lakewood Exterminating for your exterminating needs. Efficient, kind, fair pricing and peace of mind at its finest. Thank you!Posted on Google![]()

If you call this place, a human being answers the phone. They came out a few hours after we called. It’s been about 2 hours and the yellowjackets are mostly dead. Thanks everyone for letting us use our door again!
FAQ
Yes: homes from that era often have aging foundation seals and rooflines that create new mouse entry points over time, even if nothing looks obviously wrong. We check specifically for that.
Bordering wooded park land does tend to mean more ants, spiders, and occasional wildlife activity. We factor that into the treatment plan for homes near the reservation.
Both: a one-time visit handles an active issue, while quarterly service is popular in Fairview Park given the ongoing pressure from bordering green space.
Traps catch mice that are already inside; proofing finds and seals the entry points so new ones can’t get in. This is especially relevant for homes that have settled over 50+ years.
