Pest Control Services in Akron, Canton, Cleveland & Northeast Ohio
Unity Property & Pest handles pest control for homes, rental properties, and commercial buildings across Akron, Canton, Cleveland, and every community within about 60 miles of our door. Whether you have an active infestation or want a treatment plan in place before pests become a bigger problem, we respond fast and treat the actual source, not just what you can see.
An Inspection Minded Approach to Pest Control
Pest problems rarely stay small for long. What starts as a few ants in the kitchen, scratching in a wall, or a wasp nest near the porch can turn into a much bigger issue if the source never gets identified. We take an inspection minded approach, which means we look past the pest you can see and focus on what is actually causing the activity.
That approach applies whether you own a single family home, manage a rental portfolio, or run a restaurant, office, or warehouse. The goal is not just fewer bugs today. It is a property that stays that way.
What Sets Our Team Apart
The Pests We Handle, Organized by Category
Every property is a little different. A rental in Barberton might deal with a different pest pressure than an office in Hudson or a home near downtown Akron, and infestations often overlap or share the same root cause. These are the major categories we handle most for property owners throughout Kent, Green, Medina, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, Wadsworth, and the rest of our service area.
Crawling Pests
These spread fast through kitchens, basements, bathrooms, garages, and wall voids, especially once moisture or food sources are in play.
- Ants and carpenter ants
- Cockroaches
- Spiders
- Silverfish, earwigs, centipedes and millipedes
Stinging & Flying Insects
Nests and outdoor activity can affect safety and comfort around a home or business well past a single spray treatment.
- Wasps, hornets and yellow jackets
- Bees near structures and high traffic areas
- Flies and cluster flies
- Mosquitoes and seasonal nuisance insects
Bed Bugs & Biting Pests
These move quickly through homes, rental units, and shared spaces, and rarely resolve on their own without a targeted treatment.
- Bed bugs
- Fleas
- Ticks around exterior activity zones
- Concerns affecting pets, guests and occupants
Rodents
Rodents can contaminate food, damage wiring and insulation, and multiply fast once they find a way in and settle in.
- Mice and rats
- Wall and attic activity
- Entry point identification
- Conditions that invite re infestation
Wood Destroying Pests
These threaten structural materials and often become a bigger concern during inspections, sales, and long term upkeep.
- Termites
- Carpenter bees
- Carpenter ants
- Concerns tied to WDI or property evaluations
Seasonal & Nuisance Invaders
As temperatures and conditions shift through the year, these pests tend to show up inside homes and buildings in waves.
- Boxelder bugs
- Moths and pantry pests
- Overwintering insects
- Recurring seasonal pest movement
Pest Control for Homes and Businesses Alike
Pest pressure does not care whether a building is a single family home or a commercial kitchen. What changes is the level of risk, the pace you need, and how much disruption a property can tolerate. Our approach adjusts accordingly.
Residential Pest Control
From kitchens and basements to attics, garages, and outdoor living spaces, we treat one time infestations, recurring seasonal activity, and preventative needs for single family homes, rental homes, duplexes, and apartment units.
Commercial Pest Control
Commercial properties need fast response and consistent communication. We work with businesses that cannot afford downtime or a pest problem affecting customers, staff, or inventory.
Why Pest Activity Ramps Up Here Through the Year
Northeast Ohio properties deal with real seasonal swings, and pest activity follows right along with them. Warm weather brings more ants, wasps, mosquitoes, and termite pressure. Cooler temperatures send rodents and overwintering pests looking for a way inside. Moisture, food sources, landscaping, and small structural gaps all make it easier for a minor issue to turn into a much bigger one.
Common Conditions That Attract Pests
What Untreated Pest Activity Can Lead To
Our Pest Control Process
Effective pest control should not feel rushed or random. We focus on understanding the problem, treating the source, and helping reduce the chances of pests coming back.
Inspect the Property
We evaluate visible pest activity, likely nesting areas, contributing conditions, and possible entry points inside and outside the property.
Identify the Risk
We determine what type of pest issue you are dealing with, how serious it is, and what is making the property vulnerable.
Apply Targeted Treatment
Treatments are chosen based on the pest problem, property type, activity level, and the areas most affected.
Support Long Term Prevention
We help property owners understand the conditions that need to be corrected to reduce repeat pest issues over time.
Our Pest Control Service Area
We provide pest control roughly 60 miles out from our home base in Akron, covering a long list of cities and townships throughout Northeast Ohio. If your town is not listed below, reach out anyway, there is a good chance we still cover it.
Frequently Asked Questions
A few things property owners ask us most often about pest control.
What pests do you treat?
We handle ants, cockroaches, spiders, bed bugs, fleas, ticks, mice, rats, termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, flies, mosquitoes, and other common nuisance pests found in and around Northeast Ohio homes and businesses.
Do you offer both residential and commercial pest control?
Yes. We work with homeowners, landlords, and rental properties, along with restaurants, offices, warehouses, retail spaces, and other commercial locations.
How do I know if I need professional pest control?
Recurring pest sightings, scratching in walls or ceilings, droppings, wood damage, or a nest forming near the structure are all good reasons to have the property looked at before the issue spreads further.
Can pest issues affect a home inspection or sale?
They can. Certain pest activity, especially termites and other wood destroying insects, can complicate a home inspection or real estate transaction. Addressing it early tends to save time and money later.
Do you only treat active infestations, or do you offer prevention too?
Both. We treat active problems, and we also set up preventative plans for properties that deal with recurring seasonal pest pressure year after year.
