Fine. The guy actually came a couple days early, when I wasn't here, and did the outside work. Not sure whether he got the days mixed up or was just in the neighborhood. Then he came back on his regularly scheduled day to do the inside. I haven't seen any ants since.
Description of Work: Exterminated a large ant colony about 10 feet outside our house, sprayed for ants in our kitchen and dining room.

They said someone would arrive between 12-5 PM and someone showed up at 4:30 PM. While they were "on time," I thought it was a rather large arrival-time window. After I described the bird-nesting problem, the exterminator determined that indeed there was a nest and that it appeared that only one bird remained. He was honest in saying that it was unlikely the birds would nest there again and that my problem may resolve itself in a week (and it has as I write this). We also noticed a different type of bird nesting in the chimney and he gave me the name and number of another company that specializes in removing critters from the chimney. While Ohio Exterm. didn't perform any work, they were professional, courteous, helpful and honest. I would call them back in the future.
Description of Work: I arranged for them to come to my home and assess a possible bird-nesting problem on my roof (causing excessive amounts of bird feces on my patio, outdoor furniture, plants and children's toys).

They didn't just treat the one area affected by the bees and ants but sprayed the entire house perimeter. I would use them again.

Overall a positive experience. I felt like they worked with me to decide what poison options I wanted to use. For example they didn't push me to spay the baseboards in my kitchen which I was concerned they would.
Description of Work: They sprayed poison around the outside of the house and in the cracks around the windows to keep pavement ants out of the kitchen.

Overall, they have received an "A" from us anytime we have had to deal with them. We have used them for over 30 years.
Description of Work: We are having rotten wood replaced in our crawl space. My husband showed me a piece of the wood on Monday (4/14) evening and I saw something moving. I got out the tweezers and we broke it apart (it was awful) and plucked out several creepy crawlies and a larvae. We almost lost it. The workman were returning the next day and we didn't know if it was wood rot that destroyed the supporting wood or termites. I left a message for Tom Chrisman whom we have dealed with before to call us as soon as he could the next morning. He opened at 8am and called at 805 am. We explained the problem and our terror. He sent Tom Copas, his manager, out and Tom was here by 9am. No termites, just bugs that inhabit rotten wood. They charged us nothing and their fast response was an example of the quality service that we have received from them in the past.

We had a problem with pavement ants in the kitchen. Someone came out right away and gave us an estimate of the cost to get rid of the ants. The serviceman was able to come at a time convenient for me. He was punctual and did a good job explaining what he was doing and why he was doing it the way he was. The ants were pretty much gone within a couple of days.
Description of Work: Set traps, sprayed, and put dabs of a chemical goo in key spots where ants were likely to travel. We've also arranged for them to come back and treat the outside of the house after the snow goes away.

When I called, initially they did not say they do not do squirrels. They waited 2 days, the day they were supposed to come out, to inform us of this and should have just told us this from the beginning. We could have had someone else out. They should have done the free estimate anyway, but that is not what they chose to do. They didn't do anything but waste my time.
Description of Work: I called them because they advertise free estimates. We have squirrels in the attic and I wanted them removed. I was told they do more specific work and they referred us to a company that wanted $165 for an estimate.

Response from Ohio Exterminating Co
WE SPOKE WITH THE MEMBER VIA PHONE ON THE DAY WE WERE TO INSPECT HER HOME ON 1-4-08. SHE INDICATED THAT SHE NEEDED THE SQUIRRELS EXCLUDED FROM THE HOME. WE ONLY TRAP FOR SQUIRRELS AND RECOMMEND A HANDYMAN OR ROOFING COMPANY TO DO THE EXCLUSION WORK AFTER WE TRAP. WE TOLD HER THAT CRITTER CONTROL CAN TRAP AND EXCLUDE THE SQUIRRELS FOR HER. THE MEMBER GOT UPSET BECAUSE SHE HAD ALREADY CALLED CRITTER CONTROL AND THEY CHARGED $165 FOR A SERVICE CALL AND SHE THOUGHT THAT WAS TOO MUCH MONEY. WE WERE ONLY BEING HONEST WHEN WE RECOMMENDED ANOTHER COMPANY THAT COULD MEET HER DEMANDS BETTER THEN WE COULD ON THIS PARTICULAR MATTER. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT OUR CUSTOMERS WOULD APPRECIATE THIS HONESTY. I AM SORRY THAT SHE IS NOT SATISFIED. WE WANT ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS TO BE 100% HAPPY WHEN THEY CHOOSE OHIO EXTERMINATING.

Our child apparently brought bedbugs home from summer camp. We were advised to treat the infected bedroom and two adjoining rooms. We removed everything in the rooms but the furniture. Things that could were put in the dryer for 30 minutes, everything else was put in black trash bags and "cooked" in the August sun for a couple of days. We had not seen any live bugs until the exterminators arrived. They found bugs immediately in the corner protectors on the box springs. The mattresses were put in cloth cases to trap any bugs. Everything else was treated. We had to leave the house for 4 hours. We returned briefly prior to that and the odor was overwhelming. But after the 4 hours, it was barely noticeable. We were told that we may have to re-treat after 3 weeks if we notice bug bites again. But 2 months later we still seem to be bed bug free. (Knock on wood!)
Description of Work: Treated 3 bedrooms and hall for bedbugs.

Went great. The gentleman who came out (Kent) was completely thorough and friendly. He was knowledgeable about the work that needed to be done, and it seemed he went above and beyond the basic treatment, and took care of our problem.
Description of Work: Came over to check out some rotting wood on our desk, because we thought it was termite damage. They were honest about it and told us it wasn't termite damage, and not to waste our money on treating the wood or the house. We did have them look at some wasp nests and there was no question about that. They came back in two days and treated wasp nests in 3 locations.

I called and a very helpful person set up the appointment for me for the next day. Gave me all the details, including a 2-hour window they needed. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me, our neighbor, who was also affected, called another exterminator and had the nest eradicated. I found out only after 5:00pm when the offices had already closed. I called and left a message asking to cancel the appointment, although the appointment was scheduled before the office even opens. This morning I was prepared to pay for an extermination I did not need, especially because it was not their fault. However, the gentleman who showed up listened to my story and simply said 'Do not worry about it, you do not need to pay anything.' Needless to say, I was flabbergasted! With this kind of service, I will not hesitate to use them again!

They came a week early to do the spraying (mix up by the office), but it was done thoroughly and efficiently.
Description of Work: Concerned about termites (tiny ant-like things flying about). They came out and identified the insects as Acrobat ants and not a destructive problem. I said I wanted the perimeter and basement sprayed. We scheduled a time for it.

They came out and handled the bees fine. They were a little late, but not too bad. In June, they were supposed to come out to take care of a carpenter ant problem and were over 2 hours late. We had to eventually cancel as they were so late. Cost just reflects the carpenter bees.
Description of Work: The first thing that we contacted them for was carpenter bees at the end of May. We then called them in the middle of June to handle a carpenter ant problem.
