Toledo neighborhoods

Old West End

One of the largest collections of late Victorian and Edwardian homes in the country, with big wood-frame and brick houses, fieldstone basements, old coal chutes, porches and mature trees. Mice, carpenter ants, hornets in the trees and termites in porches are steady calls.

West Toledo, Westgate, Old Orchard and DeVeaux

Bungalows, Tudors and mid-century homes, with apartments around Westgate and student rentals near the University of Toledo. Kitchen ants in spring, mice in the fall, and roaches and bed bugs in shared buildings.

South Toledo, Harvard Terrace and Library Village

Established neighborhoods near the river and the Toledo Zoo, with older homes, detached garages and alleys. Mice, rats near the river and wasps under eaves.

East Toledo and Birmingham

Older frame houses and duplexes on the east bank of the Maumee. Mice and rats near the river, and roaches moving between units in duplexes.

Point Place

Homes at the northern tip of the city between the Ottawa River and Maumee Bay, close to Lake Erie. Mosquitoes, spiders, rats near the water and moisture pests in basements.

What shows up where

Through the year across northwest Ohio

• Spring Termite swarms from March to May, kitchen ants after rain, carpenter ants waking up.
• Summer Mosquitoes after storms off the lake, wasps under eaves, roaches more active in shared buildings.
• Fall Mice moving in from late September, cluster flies and stink bugs on sunny walls.
• Winter Mice in basements and walls, roaches and bed bugs in apartments.

Older homes and newer homes

The age of the house changes the calls. Homes built a century ago in the Old West End, South Toledo and East Toledo have fieldstone basements, coal chutes, porches close to the soil and many ways in, so mice, termites and carpenter ants are common. Subdivisions in Sylvania, Perrysburg, Holland and the edges of Maumee and Oregon have poured foundations and fewer termites, but garage slabs, decks and wooded lots still bring in mice, ants and wasps.

Rivers, the lake and the metroparks

The Maumee, Swan Creek, the Ottawa River and Ten Mile Creek run through the area, Lake Erie and Maumee Bay sit to the east, and the metroparks ring the city: Wildwood, Side Cut, Pearson and the Oak Openings. Homes near these edges see more mosquitoes in summer, more mice in the fall and, near the river, more rats.

How visits are scheduled

Visits are booked into the next open window during call hours and grouped by area, so technicians already working nearby take the call. Giving your neighborhood or nearest cross streets on the call helps set the most accurate window. I-475, I-75, the Anthony Wayne Trail, Monroe Street, Central Avenue and Route 2 link Toledo with every town above.

Before the technician arrives

• Say the neighborhood or cross streets It helps set the window for the visit.
• Note where and when you see the pests Kitchen at night, basement in the morning, the eaves in the afternoon.
• Keep children and pets away from wasp nests And do not plug a nest hole.
• Follow the prep list For bed bugs and roaches, it comes on the call.

Every service, from mice to termites, is on pest control in Toledo.

Homes, rentals and businesses

Single-family homes, duplexes, apartment buildings, restaurants, shops, offices and warehouses are all covered across the area. For buildings with shared walls, the plan usually includes the units next door, because roaches, bed bugs and mice do not stop at the property line.

Buyers and sellers across the area

Home sales across Toledo and the towns around it often need a wood destroying insect inspection for the lender. Call as soon as the inspection period starts, give the closing date and say who will let the technician in. Older homes with porches and fieldstone basements take longer to inspect than newer ones.

Michigan towns across the line

Lambertville and Temperance, just north of the Ohio line near Sylvania, are covered the same way as Toledo, with the same pests: mice in the fall, ants in spring and wasps in summer.
