PROFESSIONAL PEST CONTROL AT AFFORDABLE PRICES
Professional Pest Control
Pest control is a critical aspect of maintaining a healthy living environment in your home or business. It involves controlling or eliminating unwanted pests that can harm our health, the ecology, and our property. Pests, ranging from insects like termites to rodents like rats and mice, can cause significant damage if left unchecked.
- Household Pest Insects: Including common pests found in and around homes, such as ants, termites, and mosquitoes.
- Vertebrate Pests: This includes birds and mammals (like squirrels, rats and mice) that can become nuisances in homes and structures.
- Stinging and Biting Pests: Pests that pose direct threats to humans and pets due to their stinging or biting nature, such as ants, wasps and hornets, spiders, and ticks.
- Fabric or Wood Pests: Insects that cause damage to fabric (clothes moths and carpet beetles), or wooden structures (carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and termites).
Each type of pest requires a specific approach for effective control.

Professional Expertise in Pest Control Services
Our Complete Pest Control Services
Lawn care extends far beyond the simple act of mowing. It encompasses a broad spectrum of activities dedicated to preserving and improving the health and aesthetic appeal of your lawn. This comprehensive approach includes various tasks such as watering, fertilization, pest control, and more, each playing a pivotal role in cultivating a vibrant and thriving lawn.
Types of Household Pests
Insects
Insects are commonly found indoors and can cause various problems ranging from food contamination to property damage. Examples include ants, which can infest food sources and are challenging to eradicate; and termites, notorious for causing structural damage to wood in homes.
Ants
Ants often enter homes in search of food, particularly sweet or greasy substances. They leave pheromone trails for others to follow, quickly leading to an infestation. Ant colonies can be extensive and challenging to control.
Termites
Termites feed on wood and can cause significant structural damage to homes over time. They are often hard to detect until substantial damage has occurred. Termite control typically requires professional intervention.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are known for their role as a common outdoor pest in central Ohio, feeding on the blood of humans and animals and being capable of transmitting various diseases. Mosquitoes undergo a life cycle that includes egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages, often breeding in stagnant water. Their presence is more than just a nuisance as they can carry diseases like malaria, dengue, and Zika virus. Effective control measures include eliminating standing water to prevent breeding, using insect repellent, and incorporating protective measures such as bed nets or window screens.
Vertebrate Pests
Vertebrate pests include birds, mammals, and reptiles that can become nuisances in both urban and rural settings. They can damage crops, invade homes, and pose health risks.
Rodents
Rodents like rats and mice are common vertebrate pests. They can contaminate food, chew through wires, and carry diseases. Rodents are prolific breeders, making them challenging to control.
Rats: Rats are a common pest in both urban and rural areas. They are known for their ability to adapt to various environments and can cause significant damage to properties by gnawing through materials. Rats pose health risks as they can carry diseases transmittable to humans. Effective control strategies include eliminating food sources, sealing entry points, and using traps or rodenticides. Integrated pest management is crucial for long-term control and prevention of rat infestations.
Mice: House mice are smaller than rats but can cause similar problems. They can enter homes through small openings and are known for their rapid reproduction. Mice can contaminate food and spread diseases. Control methods include maintaining cleanliness to reduce food sources, using traps, and sealing entry points to prevent their entry. It’s important to regularly inspect and monitor for signs of mouse activity to address infestations promptly.
Stinging and Biting Pests
Stinging and biting pests can pose health risks through venomous stings or bites. They include bees, wasps, hornets, and fire ants. These pests can cause allergic reactions and, in some cases, severe medical conditions.
Bees, Wasps and Hornets
Bees, hornets and wasps can sting when threatened. While bees die after stinging as their stinger gets detached, wasps can sting multiple times. Stings can cause pain, swelling, and, in allergic individuals, severe reactions that require immediate medical attention.
Fire Ants
Fire ants are known for their painful stings that can cause red, swollen spots, and in allergic individuals, serious reactions. They are aggressive and can attack in large numbers, making them a significant pest in affected areas. While generally known to inhabit the Southwest US, there are species of fire ants found in Ohio.
Spiders
Spiders are common household pests often found in dark, secluded areas of homes. While most spiders are harmless and can even help control other insect populations, some species, like the Black Widow or Brown Recluse, can be harmful and can cause a severe allergic reaction.
Fabric or Wood Pests
Fabric or wood pests, such as moths and beetles, can cause damage to clothing, furniture, and wooden structures. They are often hard to detect and can cause extensive damage over time.
Clothes Moths
Clothes moths target fabrics, especially those made from natural fibers like wool or silk. They can ruin clothing and upholstery. Control involves cleaning and sometimes using specific insecticides.
Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants are known for their ability to cause damage to wooden structures. Unlike termites, they do not eat wood but excavate it to build their nests, which can weaken the structural integrity of the wood over time. These ants are typically large and black and can be found in moist or decaying wood. Control methods include eliminating moisture problems, removing decaying wood, and using baits or insecticides.
Carpenter Bees
Carpenter bees are large, solitary bees that bore into wood to create nests. They are often found in unpainted or weathered softwoods like pine, cedar, and redwood. While they do not consume the wood, their nesting activities can cause cosmetic and structural damage. Control methods include applying insecticidal dust or sprays into their holes, using natural repellents like essential oils, and sealing exposed wood surfaces.
Wood-Boring Beetles
Wood-boring beetles, such as powderpost beetles, can damage wooden structures and furniture. They often go unnoticed until damage becomes visible. Control requires professional pest management. Powderpost beetles are one of the four wood destroying insects in Ohio. They get their name because their feeding can reduce wood to a pile of powder. Heavily infested wood will have small holes perforated throughout it.
Special Categories of Troublesome Pests
These pests are extra troublesome and require individual treatment and special expertise and are not included in any of our pest control packages.
Fleas
Fleas are external parasites primarily of mammals and birds. They have a flattened body and no wings, but possess strong legs adapted for jumping. Fleas are significant as both a nuisance to pets and humans, and as vectors for various diseases. Their life cycle includes the egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages, with adults adapted for feeding on the blood of their hosts. Controlling fleas often requires a multifaceted approach including treating the environment (such as your lawn) as well as the host animal (like your pets).

Austin did a wonderful job with my yard work during the spring/summer/fall seasons...Great Job..
Austin, you have taken great care of our lawn this year. I appreciate your professional approach and the time and effort you put into your work. My lawn looks terrific! Thanks again for all you’ve done this year, God Bless.
Austin at Quality has been taking care of my lawn for several years and it has never looked better! He calls and lets me know when he will be coming and I appreciate the advance notice.
Cory and the crew of guys remodeling my basement did an awesome job. Very friendly, kept me informed and kept the work area very clean. I recommend Quality Maintenance to anyone needing remodeling work. I have a couple more job for the company.
I am extremely satisfied with the overall quality of the yard and landscaping work that Quality Yard and Home Maintenance did for me. Andrew, and his crew of Juan, Albert, and Skylar were very hard-working and professional, efficient, and attentive to detail. They went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy with the results. I was particularly impressed with the removal of the ivy from my yard, the tree stump removal, and the planting of new plants and grass seed not to mention the pruning of my huge acorn tree that had overtaken my yard and home. As a result, my tree and yard are now healthier and more beautiful than ever. I would highly recommend Quality Yard and Home Maintenance to anyone looking for high-quality yard and landscaping services. Thanks so much, Craig
From start to finish working with this company, and specifically Jordan in the planning stages, it was a great experience. He was very knowledgeable about plants and was patient with all my questions, and offered great suggestions. Everyone in the office answering my phone questions was polite and friendly. Juan and Albert were the installers and they were hard working and had great attention to details. The whole experience was A++ and we’ve told everyone that! We’ve found a company to keep forever, and that’s a great feeling!
I've used Quality YHM since we moved back to Pataskala in 2018 for lawn treatment, mowing services, landscaping, tree replacement, and as a knowledgeable resource! Every one I have communicated with has been very responsive, honest, professional, and accountable...and they do quality work!
Quality Yard and Home got rid of all of the weeks taking over my flower beds, sprayed so they don't come back, then mulched everything for fall. Skylar & David did a professional job and answered any and all of my questions. Cleaned up and left everything better than when they got here. Beautiful job! I would recommend them.
Recently, I worked the wonderful people at Quality to prepare my dad’s home for sales listing. I utilized their services to improve the property exterior, clean out the property interior, and yard mowing. Kelly Jo, Frank, Eric, Andrew, and Dakota were an absolute blessing to work with. The ownership provides excellent leadership and fosters a great team environment across the staff and everyone is focused on providing the best customer service experience!
Cody and Frank from Quality came out to our property to relieve a drainage issue we were having. They did exactly what they promised and did a great job! Thanks guys!
Frank Shimp repaired two of my downspouts, quickly and without any mess. In fact, I had to look closely to make sure they were done. I am very pleased with the outcome. Thanks, much!!
Quality Yard and home maintenance LLC has been doing our yard for two years now. Our yard is looking the best it has in a long time. Great Lawn Care Technicians like Austin who was here today and has been here on previous service appointments does a great job. Below are a summary of all the services they have done for us over the last couple of years.
attention to detail was great. they edged all the curving garden beds beautifully and installed mulch and swept/blew away all debris on the walkways. gardens looked first rate when they finished!
Deck railing was replaced, including two stairs. Jake P. and Frank S. did an excellent job, and cleaned up afterwards. I’d use them again.
We had a retaining wall built and river rock placed in a bed off of our patio. They finished in 3 days and it looks amazing. Always on time, very personable employees, who worked hard to get a superior job done. Would recommend them to anyone.
We used their services for bushogging our .5 acre lot and are very pleased with the service. Would highly recommend Quality for this service, quality and price!
Edging, mulch, weed control, aeration, seeding- all of it - and my lawn look great this year! 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 always prompt and customer service is outstanding. Highest recommendation.
They treat you like your a part of their extended family. My grass is the greenest that it ever has been for years. The price was less than others quoted and they are very professional and communication is awesome 👌
I have used Quality Yard and Home Maintenance for about 5 years now and they do excellent lawn mowing and lawn care. They are always prompt, professional, and do a great job. My lawn looks excellent! Highly recommend their service. Thank you!
They did a great job with the landscaping. They removed some walks and a light post and leveled the yard for seed. They forgot to cap the light post and Jared and Jacob came back out and fixed that as soon as I reported the issue. They were very professional and thorough. Thanks!
They do a wonderful job on my lawn. I have neighbors ask how I get my yard to look so nice. They also plow snow from my driveway in the winter. They take care to get it completely cleared. I am extremely happy with the job your team does for me!
I am very happy with the trees installation (and misc supporting work) yesterday. The crew was on time as expected, was very respectful and professional (including talking to me about turning the trucks around in the yard), and did a top-notch job in the installation itself. The trees seem to be of very good quality and the installation was really excellent. This cost a bit more than the previous trees (from someone else), but the quality of installation was so much better this time. I'm very satisfied. And of course -- I also appreciate Jordan's consulting leading up to this.
Thanks to Eric Smith and Frank Shimp from Quality Yard and Home Maintenance for fixing our French drain. Great work at a reasonable price.
Our experience with Quality Yard & Home Maintenance has been wonderful! They just power washed our entire home and are currently bringing our very stressed yard back to life through their lawn care program. Highly recommend.
Dakota is the best. Most professional, cares about the lawn, takes really good care of our yard. Utmost respect of our property. Always has a smile and asks if we have any questions. I would recommend this company to anyone.
The team was efficient, knowledgeable, and passionate about their work. We are so glad we went with Quality for our yard makeover. Andrew helped us with design and came out multiple times to ensure we were all aligned. This was our first big home project and we could not be happier!
The people! Quality has been doing my lawn care for many years now. They are dependable, courteous and professional. It is a very honest statement when I tell you that guests and neighbors alike compliment the lush grass that has become my lawn.
I definitely recommend Quality Yard and Home Maiintenance. The service is phenomenal and the employees are very friendly.
I would highly recommend this business. I have used 2 other lawn services and been less than happy with the results. If you want your lawn to look beautiful and weed free go with Quality!!!!
My time with Quality YHM has been wonderful start to finish. Last year I had a large job quoted from them. The individual that came out was super helpful and provided much needed knowledge. I ended up not doing that project but was so impressed with the worker that I now have them come by year round for their 6 step yard care. Austin Zimmerman has been the individual coming out and is always professional and willing to answer my list of questions regarding the service being done and how I can improve my lawn.
Had 3 trees removed today, wondered if they would do it today with the snow cover, but they did and did a great job! Had to grind out one stump and filled the hole with topsoil. Did a good job cleaning up in spite of the sloppy wet conditions.
I mostly appreciate their hard work, honesty, and desire to please the customer.
The Quality Yard and Home team has provided our lawn service and snow removal for two years. They are prompt, courteous, and responsive. They do quality work, just like their name says.
Quality Yard brought our lawn back to life! They are great and highly recommend if you are struggling with a brown yard.
Hired them for mowing, fall garden clean up, gutter cleaning, and snow removal. Fantastic job. Friendly people.
We had Quality come out and trim our trees and they did such a fantastic job that we hired them to replace our porch. I paid half upfront with the rest to be paid after the job was done. We are very pleased with the outcome, the porch looks fantastic, but we did have some communication issues. We only received sporadic updates on the porch work. It would have been nice to be told how progress was going on a regular basis, like when the inspector was to be out and when they were done with each phase of the project. Also, they sent me the bill for the balance without letting us know the work was done and making sure we were happy with it. In fact, the work was not done because they hadn't finished the step and there were nails left in the yard. When I contacted them, they quickly responded and got the porch finished as well as placing hay netting over the muddy areas, which we greatly appreciated because our dogs like to run in the yard. We will definitely consider them again because they did such a great job, but I would like to suggest they keep their customers more informed and maybe get a magnet to pick up all the nails so it won't be an issue for your customer.
When we first reached out to you, we were in shock and slightly panicked. We had moved into our newly built house which still needed work completed on it and our builder declared bankruptcy leaving us in the lurch and on the hook to coordinate (and pay for) the work needed to finish the house. After such a shock, our biggest priority was a trustworthy company that was hopefully local. I did a LOT of research and time and time again on local message boards, Quality Yard and Home was a company that came up as someone that was trusted in the community and that performed work at a fair price. You did not disappoint. Throughout this entire process, you have proven those reviews right time and time again while providing helpful guidance along the way. Your staff has been extremely professional and every worker that came on the property was respectful and went above and beyond to ensure the job was done right. I have absolutely nothing but positive words to say about anyone associated with your company that we have had interactions with. It was not only the people that were excellent. I have nothing, but praise for the results your team has produced. The tree removal for the septic system, the grading in the area around the house, and the gravel apron for the driveway apron have all been fantastic. Although we ran out of time in the year to finish everything, we are looking forward to the Spring when the last major piece of the puzzle will be put into place with the final grading and seeding. Please pass our extreme gratitude on to everyone on your crew for their outstanding performance. We would love to provide a good review for you on whatever platforms are the most useful to you. If you could just send me links to your pages on the ones that bring you the most traffic, I'll happily do so. As we approach Thanksgiving and Christmas, we wish all of you and your families a wonderful holiday season.
My wife and I recently renovated a home and utilized Quality for a number of the various projects. This company was outstanding! Very attentive to detail and completed each phase on budget. Each employee was very eager to go ‘the extra mile’ to get things done correctly.
This is the best company that I have ever worked for. Quality always has the best interest for the customer and its employees. Quality Yard and Home Maintenance is always striving for excellence through out the whole company
Excellent work by the team over at Quality. I was a little undecided on what I wanted to do with the old deck. The wonderful team at QYHM stepped up to the challenge, and delivered an end result that was beyond my expectations. I can't thank the crew from the Handyman department enough. Every member of that team played a huge role in this project From start to finish they were beyond awesome. I would highly recommend them for any of your home projects!!!
Full disclosure, I did not use this business as, in the end, I wasn't even afforded the chance to do so. Full Story: I contacted this business while looking for a contractor to repair the sidewalk in front of my house as well as pressure wash. The gentleman that came out to review the project was nice enough and all went well. I notified him that I will not be needing the pressure wash as I had already found someone else, however was still very interested in the sidewalk repair. Fast forward a few days and I received a quote by email for pressure washing the house. I replied, notifying them that I will not be needing the pressure wash and that I was only interested in the sidewalk repair. For 4 weeks, there was no response from this business. I would normally let it go as, they just don't want to service my house, a bad business practice but they aren't the only only people in town that do this. Today, I received another email, asking if I would still like my house pressure washed, which prompted this review as maybe they will finally notice. Update: I have finally received an email response shortly after posting this review originally regarding the issue with my quote. I also received a voicemail from the owner regarding this review on Monday, October 3rd. After some consideration, I've decided to update this review. The email apologized for the issues, which I appreciate, however I never was sent the quote for repairing the sidewalk. Granted, at this point in time, I have already moved on with a different company, but I would argue it still matters. The email claims that they were having computer issues, yet I never received a phone call, letter, knock on my door, or any other form of communication attempting to contact me to notify me that I might have not received an email(s) from them. The voicemail I received was from the owner of the company. He again apologized, stating that they were having technical issues. At this point, I understand, things happen and, while It's still an issue that no one bothered to call until I posted a public review, I can move with my life. But then, the owner stated that the person I had been emailing with had apologized for issue and was asking if there is anyway I can take this review down. Now, without even getting too deep into the weeds of Google's guidelines, this is shady. How many negative reviews for companies have been taken down, artificially inflating review scores? On top of that, why would you ask me to remove my actual review of your company, while letting an employee (the one I was emailing with) of that company give a 5 star review?. So, with the authenticity of their reviews now in question, I would highly recommend using someone else.
