Nearly half the homes in Circleville are rented, 47% to be exact, and the median home was built in 1965 (ACS 2019-23). A mix of renters and older buildings like that gets roach and bed bug calls before anything else, followed by mice once October nights cool and the Pumpkin Show crowds fill the downtown.

47% rented: roaches and bed bugs in Circleville apartments and doubles

German cockroaches live in kitchens and bathrooms and travel on grocery bags, boxes and shared plumbing. Bed bugs travel on furniture, luggage and used mattresses. Both are spread by people moving, which is why rental housing sees more of them. A tenant who treats alone often loses to the neighbors' units.

A building plan covers the units next door and above, the laundry room and the trash area. Our pages on German cockroach control and apartment bed bug treatment explain what that involves. Landlords can read what a bed bug course takes before booking.

Pumpkin Show season: mice and downtown food crowds in October

The Pumpkin Show falls in October, the same weeks mice move indoors and fall invaders gather on warm walls. Food vendors and downtown restaurants handle large crowds, trash and deliveries in that stretch, which tests any pest plan. Restaurants can set up restaurant pest control before the busy weeks, not during them.

At home, the same advice applies to a 1965 house: seal gaps near the sill, door sweeps and utility lines before the cold arrives. Half an inch is all a mouse requires. Our fall pest-proofing checklist covers the walk-around.

Roundtown on the Scioto: the circle plan, the mills and the Pumpkin Show

Circleville was founded in 1810 on the Scioto River and became a city in 1853. The original town was laid out inside a Hopewell earthwork about 1,100 feet across, which gave it its name, and residents had converted the plan to a standard grid by the mid-1850s. The Ted Lewis Museum now occupies the last building from the circular plan.

Manufacturing is a major employer here, with a DuPont plant, a Sofidel tissue plant that began production in 2018 and a PPG resin plant. Plants mean pallets, cardboard and truck traffic. The older blocks around the original center mean old cellars, and the river valley means moisture. We ask what the building was before we ask what the pest is.

Booking from Dunning Rd to Circleville

Tell us the address, whether it is a rental, and what you are seeing. Tenants of buildings with several units should tell the landlord in writing. Columbus code does not apply in Circleville, so ask the city or the county health office which rules cover your address.

We ask about allergies, pets and children, inspect, treat by label directions and give you the re-entry time from the label. Same-day stops depend on the schedule. For the surrounding towns see Ashville and Commercial Point, and for farm and river details see the Pickaway County page. Boydes has worked central Ohio since 1990, and the Scioto valley run south of the city is part of that territory.

Pest control in Circleville: common questions

Do you do bed bug treatment in Circleville rentals?

Yes. We inspect first, including the unit next door when we can, and then discuss residual treatment over four to six weeks, Aprehend or Heat Assault heat treatment depending on the case. The prep work matters as much as the treatment. We quote after the inspection, and you hear the price before work begins.

Who is responsible for roaches in a Circleville apartment?

That depends on the lease and Circleville's rules, which differ from Columbus. In Columbus, the owner of a multi-unit building must eliminate pests. Elsewhere, ask the city or your county health office. Tell the landlord in writing, keep dated photos, and let us know if you want to speak with the manager.

How soon can you get to Circleville?

Dunning Rd to Circleville runs about 45 minutes. Most Circleville visits are booked, and a same-day stop depends on whether the schedule allows. Call early, give us the address and describe what you are seeing, and we will tell you straight when we can be there.
