Pest Control
Our pest control services target common Ohio pests like bed bugs, cockroaches, and ants using EPA-approved methods. We conduct thorough inspections to identify infestations and apply targeted treatments to eliminate pests at their source. Our team ensures long-term protection through follow-up visits and preventative measures tailored to residential and commercial properties.
Animal Removal
We specialize in humane removal of nuisance animals such as raccoons, bats, and squirrels. Our technicians safely trap and relocate wildlife while repairing damage to prevent re-entry. Services include sealing entry points, sanitizing affected areas, and offering advice to minimize future wildlife encounters in Northeast Ohio homes.
Bed Bug Removal
Our bed bug removal process combines heat treatments and chemical applications to eradicate infestations completely. We inspect mattresses, furniture, and walls to identify hiding spots, then apply solutions that target all life stages of bed bugs. A $50 discount is available for this service, ensuring cost-effective relief for affected households.
Termite Inspection
Certified FHA and VA inspections identify termite activity and structural damage in homes. We use advanced detection tools to locate colonies and recommend treatment options like bait systems or liquid barriers. Our inspections meet mortgage requirements and help protect properties from costly wood-destroying insect damage.
Commercial Pest Control
We provide tailored pest management solutions for restaurants, offices, and warehouses. Our services include regular inspections, sanitation guidance, and targeted treatments to maintain compliance with health regulations.

First time you call they answer. Very polite and get straight to business. Scheduling is easy. Arrived early and got the job done quickly. Explained the process, and guarantee. Suggested certain upkeep with a problem we have. Will be calling back to schedule that upkeep this summer! Thank you prevent a pest for helping us keep our home safe and healthy.

On Saturday we found a bee problem in our basement. No local companies were open so we called one of the big companies and got horrible customer service, but they said they could come on Monday between 1-5. Monday came and I tried calling and calling and couldn't ever get a hold of anyone. No one showed up and finally when I called to cancel, they got me someone who said that my appointment was rescheduled but I was never notified.

I then called Prevent Pest Control right before they were closing and asked if there was any way they could fit me in the next day. The lady I spoke to was very nice and helpful and said she would make sure they fit me in the next day. Dario came and was extremely nice, friendly, knowledgable and helpful! I felt that I could actually trust him and he didn't try to sell me on anything Would recommend this company to anyone! They were also $100 cheaper than the other company.
