Alliance homes, known.
Alliance runs on early-1900s housing — solid, settled, and full of the entry points a century of Ohio freeze-thaw cycles opens up. Original foundations, aging soffits, and additions from four different decades mean mice find a way in every fall, and the old-growth timber gives termite inspections real stakes.
The Mount Union rental cycle writes its own chapter: furniture in and out every semester, suitcases from everywhere, and properties that sit vacant between tenants. Bed bugs ride that circuit — landlords call for the between-tenant sweeps, and homeowners call when a secondhand find turns out to have passengers.
Alliance is on the daily patrol — State Street to the east side — so response is fast and the housing stock is familiar territory.
