Residential and Commercial Pest & Termite control and prevention. Wood destroying insect reports for real estate transactions.
The technicians arrived when promised. They patiently & courteously answered my remaining questions. They didn't rush to complete the job & seemed intent on setting the baiting stations in a way that was specific to my situation. They were thorough, efficient & even took the time to double check that the fence gate was properly latched to prevent my dog from escaping.
Description of Work: Called for inspection after seeing evidence of termites. Earl came out the day after my call for an inspection. Several tunnels were discovered in the garage but no live termites found. Sentricon system recommended. Got several other estimates - chose Ohio Exterminating because of price ($750- plus $250 annual renewable premium for "existing preventative") & because they guarantee their work.

I called Ohio Exterminating and they sent someone out the next morning to take a look at the issue. Work was scheduled for two days later. They came out, applied pesticide to the hive, and solved the issue.
Description of Work: We had a nest of "ground bees" in our yard. I am allergic to bees so we had to have them exterminated. Ohio Exterminating came out and took care of the problem.

We dropped another company in favor of Ohio Exterminating. We started getting springtails in our home after we had mulch put down right up against the house (2008). They are very a tough pest to get rid of. We have been through some treatments with Ohio Exterminating. They were much better to work with than previous companies. We are on a quarterly treatment with them. In addition to their regular treatments they added treatments for springtails at no extra cost. We have not seen many since treatments began. They are great. They came out and retreated for a second time for free. They have definitely helped our problem. They also encourage you to call and let them know how the treatments are working.
Description of Work: We currently are using them for exterminating.

He came out in a 9am - 1pm window at around 10:10am. I told him I had seen 3 carpenter ants in the last couple weeks in different places in my house. He identified the one I caught as a carpenter ant swarmer (had wings). He inspected the inside and outside of the house, mostly near the basement and told me I don't have a problem. Likely the ants found their way in by chance or looking for food. He told me to keep the basement dry and fix any leaks as they look for damp wood to resettle into. Best part was it was all at no charge! The "B" on responsiveness was because I called them on Saturday and they took until Tuesday to get here.
Description of Work: A free evaluation of my house for carpenter ants.

They were horrible and come out without prior notification, and tried charging us for service. I told them I didn't need them 4 times a year, but they said it was their contract. Service was horrible. One man who serviced my home came to talk to me in my bedroom (not about business), which is not acceptable and unprofessional. They charged me once when they did not service my home, claiming they had come into my home. They are irresponsible. You must sign a contract in order for them to service your home. I will not use them again and tell others to stay away from Ohio Extermination!
Description of Work: I was in a contract with Ohio Extermination for 1 year. We paid for time spent on the day of service.

They provided an estimate, explained our options, with no pressure. Upon our purchase, they came on time to install the system. Stations were placed around our house, without damage to landscaping, and they sprayed the live termites along the one garage wall. Ohio Exterminating completed four monthly station checks last fall and returned right on time this April for monthly monitoring. One year later, no termites have "hit" upon the sentricon stations (there's no guarantee -- the system is dependent upon termite behavior), but we have been happy with their ongoing service. We had another termite swarm this spring, and Ohio Exterminating sent a termite technician to inspect the situation. He installed additional Sentricon stations in the infested area in hopes of increasing the system's chance of success. Another company had warned that other companies might not provide adequate service, but I've found that Ohio Exterminating is faithfully fulfilling our agreement, at a lower price.
Description of Work: Ohio Exterminating installed a Sentricon Termite Elimination system around our house after termites were discovered in our semi-attached garage.

Ohio Exterminating Company was the only pest control company offering a free inspection, which was greatly appreciated since we were not certain if we had a carpenter ant problem. The inspector correctly identified the problem as carpenter ants and proceeded to write an estimate detailing the corrective action. The estimate was clear and accurate with no hidden charges. One complaint I have is that the company gives "cable-guy" estimated appointment times with a two hour block. The estimated service time we were given was 10-12, which they were slightly late for (12:10) and did not call ahead to say they would be a little late. Call aheads and firmer appointment times would improve their customer service. Nevertheless, once the crew arrived, they listened to what I had to say, treated all areas I thought were affected by carpenter ants without question, were respectful of my property, and showed a willingness to go the extra mile to solve our problem. The only other issue I had with Ohio Exterminating Company is there was some discrepancy over the toxicity of the chemicals used and when we could return home safely (toddler and pregnant wife). A handout describing the chemicals more clearly and when it is safe for the customer to be in the environment where the chemicals were used would be useful. Overall though, I recommend this company as they are fairly priced, effective, and provide good customer service (with some room for improvment, as noted).
Description of Work: After a free inspection that identified carpenter ants in a kitchen window frame, Ohio Exterminating Company used a micro-injector to fog within the framing and dry wall as well as a chemical spray application to external foundation and internal baseboard.

I have used them for years. I have three rental properties. They come out every month end to one of the properties. They come out during the middle of month to the other properties. I spent around $45, the last time they came out. They are very punctual. They arrive on the days they say they would arrive. They have done a good job in keeping the insects out of the houses. I?ll continue to use their services in the future.
Description of Work: I use Ohio Exterminating for pest control. They spray for bugs and set traps for mice. They also get rid off spiders and cockroaches.

It was a great experience. The salesman came out first and confirmed what was needed. We left our garage unlocked, and they returned and treated without our even seeing them.
Description of Work: We had carpenter ants in our detached garage. Ohio Exterminating came out and treated our garage. We had tried to spray the garage ourselves, without much success. Ohio Exterminating is actually able to inject the treatment into the timbers of the garage where we had the infestation. This was much more effective. We have seen no sign of the ants since treatment!

See above. We had a very good experience. The initial man who came was very friendly and knew his stuff. He checked out the basement and showed us where the ants were coming in. The man who treated the house for yellow jackets and ants was also very punctual and friendly. Since the house was treated, there have been no more yellow jackets or ants.
Description of Work: Yellow jackets had nested in the hole in the wall where the air conditioner cable entered the house. the yellow jackets came through the hole into the basement. My husband tried to spray them twice but it didn't help. We were also concerned because there was a powdery substance under the kitchen outside door which we thought might be termites. We called Ohio Exterminating and they came the next day exactly when they said they would come. The determined that the powder under the door was caused by ants (there had been a lot of ants in the kitchen). They said they'd come very early in the morning to treat the yellow jacket nest and the ants. They came exactly at the time scheduled and treated the yellow jackets twice. They also treated the house and kitchen for the ants and guaranteed their services.

They were excellent. They came out once and treated for carpenter bees. We needed a re treatment a month later. I can get a 60 day retreat done free of cost. We needed a re treatment for the third time which they did beyond the 60 days period with no extra charge. They were punctual and honest. They found a billing error. We had actually been billed twice. The office called and informed us. We know that they have credited the amount to our account.

The exterminating company sends a knowledgeable person over to the building if the tenants have seen some bugs or pests and they take care of it. They are very good. They are very responsive. They do quality work and their price isn't bad. They come at the time they say they will. The estimator that came out was very good.

They were very pricey to begin with but I knew that when I was going in. What I needed was unreal. They treated the inside of the house and they put around 28 traps around the outside of the house. I have not had a problem since and I am considering discontinuing the use of the traps as the water problem that we had has been fixed. Overall they have been very good and they knew what they were doing.

Several bees were killed and the infestation appeared to be over. However, a few months later, bees were again appearing. I called the company and talked twice to their receptionist and left a message once on voice mail. I've never received a return call, which I find puzzling as Ohio Exterminating is so well ranked on Angie's list. (Except for this, I would rate the firm higher.)

Response from Ohio Exterminating Co
I am sorry you did not receive a return phone call as that just does not happen at Ohio Exterminating. I have 6 full time employees that answer all calls live between 8 AM - 5 PM M-F and 8-12 Noon on Saturdays so you never have to leave a message and wait on a return call. Your inspector, Earl Huff left a card with you at the time of his inspection to call him directly if you ever need anything as he is your account representative. Earl never received a call from you. In the future, please ask for a manager or the owner if you experience a problem so we can correct it ASAP! If we are not aware of the problem, we can not fix it. Again, I apologize for your experience and hope you will consider giving us another change. Please call me directly to do so. Thanks, Andrew Christman - Owner (614) 294-6311 ext. 11

I consider Ohio Exterminating to be a very professional and ethical company. They scheduled an appointment in a timely manner and showed up on time. They performed an inspection of my home and could have told me that I had infestation and set me up with an expensive ongoing program. Instead, they told me that they found no evidence of infestation. They sent the certificate in the mail as promised.
Description of Work: Ohio Exterminating inspected an older home that I recently purchased for possible termite infestation. A home inspection prior to closing indicated possible termite activity. Andrew inspected the crawl space and attic and found no evidence of activity. He issued a certificate indicating no activity found.

Our handyman found termites inside an exterior wall while replacing drywall. He stopped the project while I called Ohio Exterminating to see if they could have someone come out to our house while the wall was still exposed. At first, they wanted to do an inspection, but I convinced them we had a more immediate problem. Ultimately, they had someone come out within minutes of my call. The technician (Clark, I believe) sprayed the inside of the exposed exterior wall before we installed the new drywall. He also sprayed the exterior of the wall from outside. A few days later, they installed a number of termite bait stations around our house so they could monitor and determine if we had gotten rid of the termites, and if not, kill any that were left behind.
Description of Work: They sprayed inside and outside for termites which were found during a minor drywall repair job. They later installed termite bait stations around the house and sprayed the perimeter of the house for insects.
