Services
Mouse Control
Our mouse control service focuses on identifying and sealing exterior entry points, then implementing traps or bait stations. The three-visit plan includes a 90-day warranty, two follow-up visits, and confirmation that mice are no longer entering. Repairs to entry points are included in the base price, with additional units charged separately. This service emphasizes long-term prevention through structural modifications.
Bed Bug Control
Bed bug control begins with a $75 inspection to confirm activity and assess infestation levels. Treatment plans start at $550 for single bedrooms, with prices increasing based on affected areas. The service includes preparation guidelines, targeted pesticide application, and follow-up visits within a 60-day warranty period. Cluttered homes or high infestation levels may incur additional charges.
Wasp and Hornet Control
This service offers three options: single nest treatment ($180), seasonal protection ($180), or annual property warranty ($250). Treatments include nest removal, pesticide application, and exterior perimeter protection. The annual plan covers all nests found during the year and includes spider web removal up to 30 feet. Ladder use adds $70 to nest treatments.
Quarterly Pest Control
Our quarterly maintenance plan provides year-round protection against common pests like spiders, ants, and centipedes. Priced starting at $113 per service, it includes four visits annually with a 60-day warranty between treatments. Customers receive 20% off non-covered pests and wildlife services. The plan focuses on seasonal pest pressure and preventive exterior applications.
Termite Inspection
A licensed inspector performs a comprehensive termite inspection using Ohio's sanctioned NPMA-33 form. The $155 service identifies signs of termites, carpenter ants, and powder post beetles, often required for real estate transactions. Inspections cover structural vulnerabilities and wood damage, with detailed reporting provided for HUD, FHA, or VA loan compliance.

Questions
Do you guarantee pests will be completely eliminated?
We combine thorough inspections with detailed treatments but cannot guarantee 100% elimination due to environmental factors. Most services include warranties for follow-up visits if pests return.
Are your treatments safe for children and pets?
Yes, we use low-risk products applied according to label instructions. We recommend vacating treated areas until sprays dry and provide specific preparation guidelines for safety.
Should I choose single service or maintenance plan?
Single services address immediate issues with warranties up to 90 days. Maintenance plans offer year-round protection with quarterly visits, ideal for recurring pest pressure or prevention.
What's included in pest control service?
Services include consultation, detailed inspection, targeted treatment, and warranty coverage. Specifics vary by pest type but focus on identifying root causes and implementing long-term solutions.
How long does pest control last?
Effectiveness varies by pest and environmental factors. Most warranties range from 60-90 days, with residual effects lasting weeks depending on pesticide type and application method.
