Meet the Box Tree Moth: A Menace to Cincinnati Trees

The box tree moth is a growing concern for Cincinnati homeowners, but it is not the insect’s moth form you need to worry about. In caterpillar form, these yard invaders can strip trees of their leaves and bark. Moxie takes the fight to these wood munchers and other plant-destroying insects:

Box tree Moth Cydalima perspectalis.

Helpful FAQs

What Cincinnati neighborhoods do you serve?

We provide trusted pest control services to our neighbors living in all parts of Cincinnati, including the neighborhoods of Hyde Park, Over-the-Rhine, Mount Adams, Clifton, Westwood, Walnut Hills, Oakley, Price Hill, and Avondale.

Are your treatments pet- and kid-friendly?

Absolutely. Our treatments are family- and pet-friendly, and our Field Experts treat your home with the same care they would their own. After service,you should keep children and pets away from treated areas until the product is dry. This is typically about 30 minutes outdoors (depending on the weather) and 1 to 3 hours indoors (depending on ventilation). If you keep aquariums, terrariums, or bird enclosures, our team may also provide additional precautions.

What are the most common pests in Cincinnati?

Cincinnati’s mix of seasonal weather and urban-suburban environments creates ideal conditions for a wide variety of pests year-round.

  • Ants often invade kitchens and bathrooms during warmer months in search of food and moisture. Without treatment, their colonies can quickly spread, making them difficult to control with DIY products.
  • Termites are especially destructive in spring and summer, silently feeding on wood and potentially causing thousands of dollars in structural damage before homeowners even notice signs of activity.
  • Mosquitoes thrive in Cincinnati’s humid summers, breeding in standing water and making outdoor spaces uncomfortable while also posing health risks.
  • Stink bugs enter homes in large numbers during late summer and fall, seeking warmth as cooler weather approaches. Though not harmful, their presence and odor can be a major nuisance.
  • Wasps build nests around eaves, decks, and play areas, creating safety concerns for families enjoying time outdoors.
  • Rodents like mice and rats move indoors when temperatures drop, looking for food and shelter. Once inside, they can contaminate food, damage belongings, and even chew through wiring.
  • Voles affect lawns and gardens by feeding on grass roots and creating runways across yards, leaving behind unsightly and weakened turf.

Moxie’s Field Experts address pest infestations at the root, helping to prevent costly property damage, reduce recurring problems, and create a more comfortable living environment year-round.

Do I really need professional pest control services or can I just fight pests myself with products I find at the store?

While you can attempt DIY pest control, most store-bought sprays and traps only deal with the pests you can see. Many insects, rodents, and other pests remain hidden, continuing to multiply and cause damage from behind the scenes.

Moxie’s professional Field Experts can locate nests, apply targeted treatments, and create a plan to help keep pests from returning. With regular visits and expert strategies, professional pest control offers long-term results that are difficult to achieve with retail products alone.

Do you offer mosquito control services in Cincinnati?

Absolutely. Many Cincinnati homeowners turn to our mosquito control services. Our approach targets mosquitoes at every stage of their life cycle. We use monthly fogging treatments to reduce active adult populations, and install In2Care Stations, non-obtrusive devices that target mosquitoes while they’re still larvae. Our Field Experts service these stations every 21 to 30 days, helping keep your yard enjoyable throughout the warmer seasons.

Do you treat for voles in Cincinnati?

Yes. In the Cincinnati area, Moxie offers specialized vole control services to help protect your yard from turf damage. Our team begins with a thorough inspection, looking for telltale vole signs like winding surface runways, small entry holes, chewed grass roots, and uneven lawn patches. We then apply a combination of granular treatments and well-placed bait stations to target active populations. 

Our Field Experts apply follow-up maintenance every 21 days for the duration of your service plan.

How does Southern Ohio’s climate affect pest activity?

Southern Ohio’s hot, humid summers create ideal conditions for pests like mosquitoes, ants, and termites. Warmth speeds up insect metabolism and breeding, while moisture sustains their nests and provides water for survival. Mild winters allow more pests to survive outdoors compared to colder regions, but mice and rats still seek indoor warmth. 

Rainfall and humidity influence how quickly pests reproduce and where they nest, making Southern Ohio particularly susceptible to summer infestations and high pest populations. Moxie’s pest control services help homeowners manage these conditions year-round, reducing infestations before they escalate.

Is pest activity in Cincinnati different from season to season?

Yes. In Cincinnati, seasonal changes trigger shifts in pest behavior. Spring rains and warming temperatures stimulate ants, mosquitoes, and stink bugs to emerge because moisture encourages breeding and plant growth supplies food. 

Summer heat increases wasp and termite activity, as humidity supports nest building and larval development. 

Fall drives rodents and spiders indoors to escape cooler temperatures and access food. 

Winter slows most insects, but indoor rodents remain active due to stable warmth and food availability. 

Moxie Pest Control helps homeowners stay ahead of these seasonal surges, providing expert guidance and strategies to better manage pest activity throughout the year.

Should I be alarmed that I’m seeing more pests after the first treatment?

No, seeing more pests after the first treatment is not a cause for alarm. In fact, it’s evidence that the treatment is working, as the pests have had their normal routines disrupted. After your one-month follow-up treatment, you should notice a marked decline in pest activity. If your pest problem reemerges between our scheduled visits, Moxie has you covered. We offer free warranty reservice visits to all customers on our year-round plans.
