Newer US-23 homes and the ants, wasps and mice that follow

A 2002 house is old enough that its first round of landscaping has matured. Shrubs and mulch now press against the siding, and that cover is where ants nest and where wasps and spiders hide. Where the siding meets the slab, a seam opens over time, and ants find it long before you do.

In fall, mice head for the warmest structure within reach. Garages and mechanical rooms are the first choice, and they use gaps around pipes and the bottom of the garage door. A mouse needs only half an inch. The Columbus Public Health code calls gaps of that size near ground level worth sealing, which is a useful rule of thumb even outside Columbus.

Laid out in 1803: South Bloomfield's old center and new edges

South Bloomfield was laid out in 1803. Surveyor General James Denny was contracted to survey 40 acres divided into 80 lots, and the founders hoped the town would become the county seat. That did not happen. The village had 2,143 residents at the 2020 census.

Landmarks include the South Bloomfield Methodist Church and the Rick Brown Memorial VFW Post 7941. A village laid out in 1803 has older houses with cellars and crawl spaces, and those suit mice and spiders. The newer subdivisions at the village edge have slab foundations, mulch beds and garages.

Krazy Kats Pay Lake adds standing water and shoreline grass, and the Teays Valley Local School District serves the village. We ask which side of town you are on, because the visit for an older house with a cellar differs from the visit for a 2002 house with a garage and a deck.

Getting a South Bloomfield visit on the books

Give us the address and describe what you found. Allergies, pets and kids come up first, then we inspect and explain the price. A same-day stop can work if the schedule allows. When the plan calls for a return visit, we say so and set it at a biweekly, monthly or bimonthly rhythm, or as needed.

South Bloomfield and the US-23 towns we cover to the south

The company has worked central Ohio since 1990, and US-23 south of the city is a familiar run. South Bloomfield is 25 miles from the shop, with Obetz, Commercial Point, Ashville, Circleville and Orient as the nearby pages.

A 2002 median build year and a 22% rental share mean newer owner-occupied homes with some rentals mixed in. For ants, wasps and mice in a house this age, the first question is usually where on the outside you saw them.
