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

Highest rated pest control technician in central ohio

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).

When to Call the Professionals

Deciding when to call professional pest control services is crucial in effectively managing pest infestations. It’s advisable to seek professional help when you observe clear signs of a large infestation, such as frequent sightings of pests, pest droppings, gnaw marks, or other signs of their activity in your home.

Additionally, if you notice unexplained damage to structures, fabrics, or food sources, it’s a strong indication that pests have become more than a minor nuisance.

Choosing a Pest Control Provider

In the realm of pest control, selecting the right service provider is as crucial as the care itself. It’s a decision that holds significant weight, given the impact it has on the health of your family and the overall safety and aesthetics of your property.

Criteria for Selecting a Service

When embarking on the journey to choose a pest control service, several key factors come into play. It’s not just about finding someone who can spray pesticide or remove a bee’s nest. You’re looking for a provider with a proven track record of expertise, reliability, and professionalism. This means delving into their credentials, such as certifications, insurance, and experience in the field. A reputable service provider will not only have the necessary qualifications but will also be more than willing to share references or examples of their previous work.
  • Look for a provider with a proven track record of expertise, reliability, and professionalism.
  • Check their credentials, such as certifications, insurance, and experience in the field.
  • Consider their willingness to share references or examples of their previous work.
  • Be cautious of providers who lack proper insurance and certifications.
  • Avoid unusually low pricing that seems too good to be true.
  • Avoid high-pressure sales tactics or requests for full payment upfront.
These criteria will help ensure that you select a pest control provider who is capable and trustworthy, ensuring the health and safety of your family and your property.

Red Flags to Avoid

The path to choosing the pest control service is also laden with potential pitfalls. Red flags can range from lack of proper insurance and certifications to unusually low pricing that seems too good to be true. Additionally, high-pressure sales tactics, extended contracts or requests for full payment upfront should raise concerns. Choosing the pest control service provider is a thoughtful process. It requires considering the provider’s qualifications, experience, and reputation, as well as being vigilant about potential red flags. Making an informed decision ensures that your home or business are in capable hands, leading to their long-term health and beauty.
