Pests we treat around Dover
Pests in Dover
What we deal with most around Dover, OH
The story in Dover is winter. With a long cold season, mice and other rodents make a steady effort to move indoors from late summer onward. They chew into wiring, contaminate stored food and multiply quickly once they find a warm spot. Cockroaches and spiders then use the same hidden routes, usually near plumbing, in basements and behind appliances.
In warmer weather, ants and carpenter ants become the main complaint, and termites feed quietly in soil-contact wood. Mosquitoes breed in gutters, buckets and shaded ditches, and ticks live at the edges of lawns and wooded areas. Wasps nest in eaves and playground equipment, while stink bugs and boxelder bugs gather on sunlit walls in fall. Treating early each season keeps small problems small.
Weather and pests
How Dover's weather affects pest activity
Dover has warm summers and firmly cold winters. July highs average about 84 degrees and January lows average about 20. The area receives about 42 inches of precipitation in a typical year, and June is usually the wettest month at around 4.8 inches.
These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and should be used as a guide, not a forecast. The most telling number is about 134 nights a year at or below freezing, which is among the higher counts you will see in Ohio and means months of pressure on rodents and overwintering insects to reach heated buildings. Only about 13 days a year hit 90 degrees, but humid nights are still enough to fuel ants and mosquitoes.
With that kind of winter, the most valuable jobs come before it begins. Seal gaps at the foundation, around vents and where lines enter the house in early fall, and store firewood away from the walls. In spring, wet June weather makes damp wood a magnet for carpenter ants and termites, so repair leaks and keep mulch back from the siding.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Dover
Ant treatment in Dover
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Dover, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Activity climbs quickly once spring temperatures arrive. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Dover
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Dover buildings offer plenty of all three. With a long cold season, the pressure builds every fall. Our exclusion-based approach combines inspection, sealing entry points, trapping and monitoring, so you fix the reason rodents got in, not only the rodents you can see.
Termite control in Dover
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. Regular moisture around foundations makes regular checks especially worthwhile. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Dover home is built.
Cockroach control in Dover
Cockroaches are hard to get rid of with store-bought sprays. We locate the hiding places, treat cracks, crevices and voids, and use monitoring so we know the treatment worked. It is a common request in Dover apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Dover
Most spiders are harmless, but nobody wants webs around the door or a spider in the basement. We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the perimeter and reduce the insects that spiders feed on, which keeps them from coming back.
Mosquito control in Dover
Dover's wet weather makes mosquitoes a real nuisance. We treat resting areas in your yard, help you find and remove breeding sites and schedule visits through the warm season so you can use your yard again.

If you live nearby and want to confirm coverage, send the form above with your address and we will follow up.
