Services
Ant Control
Report
Many times there are multiple satellite colonies inside, with a super colony outside.
Our ant exterminators will first identify what species of ants are present.
Then we will conduct a search to identify their trails and colonies.
Colonies located through customer communication and through inspection will be treated.
Ant colonies are not always located. Trails are not always active when we are on site.
Combining three ant control formulations into our protocol sets us apart from other ant exterminating service.
Flea Control
Report
Flea control season gears up in Cleveland, OH when the weather turns hot. Fleas thrive in hot and humid weather. Once it exceeds 80 degrees average daytime temperature, the flea reproduction life cycle goes into overdrive. If you find yourself itching, especially around the ankles, you will want to call your local flea exterminator.
Cockroach Control
Report
American cockroach and Oriental cockroaches are uncommon in Cleveland, OH. Yet they still show up in certain circumstances.
These are larger than the other two cockroach species found in Cleveland. They are also cold hardy. They are the only species that can survive year round outside.

German cockroaches are a tropical species. If you have them, you do not have to worry too much about treating the exterior. These insect pests are like bedbugs. They hitchhike their way into the home.

Brown banded cockroaches are not very likely to be found in Cleveland, OH. They do show up though. Similar in appearance to German cockroaches, these cockroaches will be found flying off the walls.

Shawn was very prompt with his response to my request. He took the time to look at other potential problem areas in my home. It was easy to schedule and our ant problem was taken care of in only a couple days. Service: Ant extermination

My parents were home when the exterminator came by. The man gave my mom a detailed description of what type of ants that was coming into my home and where he suspected they were coming from. Since he treated my home I haven't seen anymore ants since then. I will definitely use their services again.

This place is amazing! Sean from Lakewood Exterminating was so experienced and professional. I had an ant problem and he came out within a week and sprayed outside. For a couple of weeks there were no ants in the house, but we did see some in the house a couple of weeks later. I called and Sean came out the next day, sprayed again, inside and out for no charge. I received a call from his office today making sure everything was good. They are fantastic! Plus, I love local businesses. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!

Our last Exterminator was a solid local company that was purchased by a conglomerate and was immediately unacceptable afterward. We needed to replace them and found Lakewood Exterminating via a Google search and are so glad we did. We're thrilled to be supporting a local community business owner who excells in every metric- expert solutions that work, knowledgeable guidance, great value, excellent communications, rapid response, and paperless billing. Hoping they will be able to handle the massive surge in growth they will surely experience with service like this.

About 2 years ago, not long after my wife and I bought our first house, we had inherited a rodent problem from the previous ownrr. We tried everything, traps, etc. Nothing was working, so we decided to use a local expert, and we saw Lakewood Exterminating had great reviews, so we went with them. He came out did a ton of work gave us a lot of insightful information and our rodent problem was completely eradicated. Flash forward to about a month ago, we developed an ant problem and he came back out and has this been completely taken care of. We highly recommend this company!

Lakewood Exterminating was quick to respond when we called with a mice problem. They assessed our house for entry points, patched them up, and set traps. Then, they came back to collect the traps and check-in. Shawn was kind and professional and we no longer have mice! Highly highly recommend. Service: Rodent extermination

We discovered a nest of yellow jackets - one bit my husband. When we called Lakewood Exterminating, Shawn answered the phone immediately, was gracious, and scheduled an appointment for us the very next day. The nest was treated the first thing the next morning and we have a 60 day guarantee should additional treatment be needed on the same nest. We are very pleased with the timely, thorough service we received. We will definitely use them again.

Shawn gave us a call back very promptly and was able to schedule us for the next day. He arrived early and had the problem managed quickly and efficiently. Billing and payments were also incredibly straightforward and fast. We will use his services again in the future if the need arises!

Fast and Efficient! Shawn answered my phone call immediately and stopped by my house that same morning to assess ( and spray) my wasp situation. He was friendly, professional, and did a great job. The online receipt, billing and payment process was so easy to navigate through. I will definitely call upon Shawn if more unwelcome critters show up.

Can't say enough good things about Lakewood Exterminating! The owner (Shawn) is very professional and knowledgeable. I can tell his goal is to operate an honest company that looks out for their customers. I called him, he came out the very next day, and we have not seen any more ants ever since! I would recommend their services to anyone. Thanks again, Shawn!

You guys were fast and came when we needed you to. You were also 40% cheaper than a service I used 3 years ago and did a better job getting rid of the pests as well as taking preventive measures. Staff was very nice and polite. If I need you again, I'll definitely call, and if a friend needs a pest control company I will be sure to recommend you.
