Precision Pest Control services homes across Columbus, from the older brick houses in German Village to the bungalows lining Clintonville near the Olentangy River. A lot of our calls come from families who want a pest problem solved without turning the house upside down for a week, and that shapes how we choose products and schedule the visit around when kids and pets are actually home.


Stink bugs are the call we get most in Columbus, especially every fall when they crowd onto the sunny side of a house looking for a way into the attic or a gap around a window. Paper wasps build under eaves and deck rails through the summer, millipedes and silverfish turn up in damp basements after a wet stretch, and cockroaches and bedbugs show up more in older multi-unit buildings near campus and the Short North than in newer construction. Termites are the quieter concern, working through crawl spaces and old foundation sills without much warning until damage is already done.
A house near German Village or Clintonville usually has a dog in the yard and kids who play close to the foundation line, and that changes how a pest visit should go. Stink bugs alone bring a wave of calls across Columbus every October as the weather turns, and the instinct is to reach for the strongest spray available around every door and window. That is exactly the approach we try to avoid, because a family that treats the perimeter heavily every few weeks ends up with product exposure that has nothing to do with actually solving the problem.
Instead we favor targeted baiting for cockroaches and ants, which keeps active ingredient in cracks and voids instead of on floors and countertops a toddler or a dog can reach. For stink bugs and paper wasps, exclusion work around soffits and eaves does more than repeat spraying ever will, and it does not require anyone to stay off the lawn. When a liquid treatment is genuinely the right call, such as around a foundation with active termite activity, we time it and explain re-entry clearly so a family knows exactly when the yard and porch are fine for a pet or a kid again.
