Outdoor pest control services in Columbus, OH mean something different depending on which company handles them, and that inconsistency makes it hard for homeowners to know what they're actually paying for.

A clear picture of what's included, and what it takes to keep pests from coming back, helps set the right expectations before signing up for ongoing service. Lawn Control Center has provided lawn fertilization and pest management across Columbus, Westerville, Lewis Center, and the surrounding Central Ohio communities for more than 20 years as a family-owned, locally operated company.

You mowed the lawn last weekend and it looked fine. This weekend there are small, round, tan spots scattered across it, each one about the size of a silver dollar, and a few of them are starting to run together into bigger blotches.

That is dollar spot, one of the most common lawn diseases we see across central Ohio, and the good news is that it responds well when it is handled correctly and caught before it spreads.

Every dog owner knows the post-walk routine. Muddy paws, wet nose, straight to the couch. But in Ohio, there is something else hitching a ride inside that you cannot see from across the room.

Ticks and fleas do not live in the woods exclusively. They live in the grass along your fence line, in the leaf litter at the edge of your yard, in the shaded strip between your deck and your garden bed. 

Your dog moves through those zones every single day. Perimeter pest control targets exactly those areas, like the border between the outside world and your home, before pests ever get close enough to make contact.
