A few questions before you call anyone
Do pest control companies need a licence in Ohio?
Yes. Commercial pesticide applicators must be licensed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture and the business must be registered. This is one of the few home-service categories in Ohio with real licensing behind it, so it's entirely fair to ask for the number.
What pests are most common around Dayton?
Ants, spiders, wasps and mice are the routine ones, with rodent activity climbing each autumn. Termites are a genuine concern in the Miami Valley — worth a dedicated inspection if you're buying, and Extermital above specialises in that.
Do I need a quarterly plan or will one treatment do?
A single treatment can clear an active infestation, but recurring problems tend to return without follow-up, which is why companies push quarterly plans. For a one-off wasp nest or single mouse, one visit is usually enough. Ask what the callback policy is if it returns within a few weeks.
