Reviews
What customers say
Customers mention helpful staff and clear answers, and one after-hours wasp call led to a technician treating the nest and entry before killing live wasps inside the home. Another customer says a skunk problem under the front steps remained unresolved; a trap caught a raccoon instead, and the employee said he would have handled it differently if he had known it was a skunk.

Angela Baldwin
Used their services twice now! Great communication, very helpful and friendly! Did exactly what we needed them to do at a better price than other we had used in the past! Will only use them for all future needs! Paula is awesome and helped me with all my questions and Rick did a great job around our house! Highly recommend!
Linda Sloan
Awesome company! I recently had wasps in my walls and they were finding their way into my home and I am deathly allergic to bees! I called after hours and couldn't believe it when I got a return call telling me a tech was on his way after being out of town to attend his uncle's funeral! He made quick work of the nest and the entrance and even came inside my home and killed the live ones in the house. That's service! And I thought the cost was quite nominal from what I got quoted the next day from a couple other companies plus the other companies wanted me to sign a contract to get my home sprayed a few times a year. Columbus pest control just said to contact them if I needed anything else. You can't go wrong with this company! 5 stars! Thank you Columbus pest control!

Highly recommend this company! We’ve been using Columbus Pest Control for over thirty years and have once again gotten excellent service for an excellent price. Their technicians and office staff are courteous, knowledgable and provide great service!

Don't use this company. The business model is a scam. They make money by charging you $125 for each visit.
We paid nearly $500 and continue to have a skunk under our front steps in Dublin. I realize we're dealing with a wild animal but to pay $500 and not have the issue resolved is absurd and poor customer service.
When the trap caught an innocent raccoon and the area smelled of skunk, Rick, the employee said he wished he had known it was a skunk as he would have handled it differently. Isn't he the expert?
J. Curtis Mayhew
Very knowledgeable and very helpful.
I had a problem with honeybees that I could not get controlled (those little things are determined and resourceful). One stop to Columbus Pest Control and a 5-minute conversation with them, and I had a plan and a product for victory.
For significant or recurring issues I would recommend consulting these pros first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do services require a long-term contract?
The company offers flexible options, including one-time treatments and ongoing services.
What happens if pests remain after treatment?
The company asks customers to request a reevaluation and says it will provide additional treatments if necessary.
How are Sentricon termite stations used?
Bait stations are installed in the soil around the structure; termites feed on the bait and spread it throughout the colony.
How early should a real-estate pest inspection be booked before closing?
Appointments should be made well in advance so the inspection, NPMA 33 report and any necessary treatment can be completed.
