"Michael Lyday was the technician and was very professional and courteous. He set a trap and returned the next morning to find a female raccoon. He also found she’d been nursing and captured two kits in the crawl space. He told me to tell him if I heard anymore sounds which I did when he returned the following day. He captured two more kits and told me to call him again if I heard any more sounds. There weren’t any more and I was impressed that he still called to follow up. I was completely satisfied with his humane methods of removing the animals from my property."

I covered one side of the closet clothing with plastic. I received a call from that tech indicating that he was done but that the plastic came off and he didn't want to come down until the clothes were covered again. Very considerate and customer focused.

"Absolute scam of a company. Charged us before doing the job, then came out and did the bare minimum and failed to do anything they said they would do. After months of discussion with the company, they refused to finish the job or offer us even a partial refund. Would stay away from this company if possible."

"I saw what I thought was a mouse at the foundation of my home. Called Prevent Pest Control to come out and see. They told me they would come out check for mice & setup bait station & I had to buy the bait station. Man came out that same day and I told him where I saw the mouse/activity at the outside foundation of my home. He gave me some sticky traps to setup in my garage & put the bait station at the opposite side of my home where I did not see any activity. A couple of days later I saw more mice running around my foundation. I called another pest control service & they came out & saw right away that I did not have mice but voles. They setup bait station all around my home & in my garage even checked inside my home for any pests. Prevent Control did not even know a mouse from a vole and never checked inside of my home. Prevent charged me approx. $240.00 for doing nothing."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Athens residents can choose from licensed general pest control companies, termite control specialists, and wildlife removal experts, as well as contractors offering eco-friendly or integrated pest management solutions. The Ohio Department of Agriculture regulates pest control licensing, so verify credentials before hiring. For specific needs like rodent prevention or termite inspections, seek out contractors with proven expertise in those areas and strong local references.

Helpful?

Effective pest control in Athens often involves scheduled inspections, seasonal reapplications, and ongoing monitoring for new pest activity. Homeowners should regularly check for moisture issues, seal entry points, and maintain yard cleanliness to support long-term results. Professionals may adjust termite control or rodent prevention strategies based on local pest patterns, as advised by the Athens City-County Health Department and the Ohio Department of Agriculture.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Athens should consider the area's mature trees, older homes, and proximity to the Hocking River, all of which can attract pests like termites and rodents. Seasonal weather shifts may increase mosquito or rodent activity, so adjust your pest control strategy accordingly. Consulting the Athens City-County Health Department for local pest trends and prevention tips can help you stay proactive throughout the year.

Helpful?

In Athens, hidden issues during pest control can include the need for structural repairs due to termite or rodent damage, additional exclusion work to prevent re-entry, or specialized cleaning if pests have contaminated insulation or ductwork. The Ohio Department of Agriculture recommends discussing the full scope of work with your contractor, including any necessary follow-up treatments or moisture control improvements, to avoid surprises.

Helpful?

When arranging pest control in Athens, always follow guidance from the Ohio Department of Agriculture and the Athens City-County Health Department. Ensure pets, children, and sensitive individuals are kept away from treated areas until products have fully dried, as directed by your licensed professional. Use proper ventilation during indoor treatments, and wear gloves and protective clothing if handling products yourself. Always store pest control materials in secure, inaccessible locations.
