Old Brooklyn is one of Cleveland’s largest neighborhoods, running along Big Creek and bordering the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, which means green space, mature trees, and a creek corridor are never far from any given house. That’s great for the neighborhood and not always great for keeping wildlife and rodents on the outside of your home. Combined with a housing stock that’s largely 70-plus years old, Old Brooklyn sees a steady mix of rodent, ant, and wildlife pressure throughout the year.

Common pest pressures in Old Brooklyn

Mice, especially in older homes near Big Creek and green space, where natural cover makes it easy for rodents to approach a foundation unnoticed
Rats, particularly in areas near the creek corridor and older sewer infrastructure
Wildlife, including raccoons and squirrels drawn by proximity to the Zoo and Metroparks tree cover
Ants and overwintering pests, common in older homes with aging seals around windows, doors, and foundations

Why Old Brooklyn homeowners choose us

We’re the only real exterminator in the area that specializes in mouse-proofing properly repairing entry points rather than just scattering traps and bait and hoping. In a neighborhood with as much older housing and green-space border as Old Brooklyn, that distinction matters: a trap catches the mouse that’s already inside, but proofing keeps the next ten from getting in at all.

Local expertise

Owner Shawn Payne’s background includes structural pest control work for the City of Cleveland and NASA Glenn Research Center, along with two decades of hands-on experience with exactly the kind of older Cleveland-area housing stock found throughout Old Brooklyn.

What our customers say

FAQ

We back up to green space near the Metroparks — does that affect what pests we're likely to see?

Yes — homes bordering park land or creek corridors tend to see more wildlife activity (raccoons, squirrels) and more opportunities for mice to approach unnoticed. We inspect for both.

Do you handle wildlife as well as insects and rodents?

Yes, our wildlife control services cover squirrels, skunks, and other nuisance wildlife common in areas like Old Brooklyn with nearby green space.

Is mouse-proofing really different from just setting traps?

Yes — traps address mice that are already inside; proofing finds and seals the entry points so new mice can’t get in. It’s a specialty of ours and one of the main reasons Old Brooklyn homeowners call us specifically.

Do you offer termite inspections in Old Brooklyn given how old a lot of the homes are?

Yes with housing stock this age, a termite inspection is worth adding, especially if you’ve never had one or it’s been several years. We can bundle it with a general pest inspection.

How do I know if I have carpenter ants versus regular ants?

Carpenter ants are larger and tend to show up near moisture-damaged wood or aging window and door seals, which is common in Old Brooklyn’s older homes. If you’re not sure, describe what you’re seeing when you request a quote and we’ll help identify it before the visit.
