Pest Control in Commercial Point, OH

What do the frame houses of the village core need?

The village core has nineteenth-century frame houses, with older cellars and some crawl spaces. The sill and the first course of framing are read by hand, and the porches and steps on the ground are marked.

Old porches and their joints are checked, because the eaves and porch roofs are places where the fall insects gather.

How are the large new Colonials sealed?

The newer Colonials are large, with full poured basements, deep soffits and attics. The sealing list is built around the soffit vents, the gable vents and the sunny faces, and the stink bug check starts at the roof line.

Garage seals and the wall between the garage and the house are checked, because both can carry insects in.

What does the Darby and Scioto corridor mean?

Houses near the corridor are close to the rivers and the distribution centres. The visit reads the grade and the moisture at the foundation on the lot, and records any standing water.

A home visit does not assess the corridor or the distribution centres. Where a source appears to be outside the property, the report says so.

Why does the Pickaway County line matter?

The village is in Pickaway County, outside Franklin County. The county building department, the engineer and the health district differ from the Columbus suburbs, so the report records the correct county and the licence check is made the same way.

Give the full address at booking so the visit and the paperwork are right.

What should a Commercial Point caller check?

Clear the path to the basement and the attic, and note any sighting with its date. Ask for the licence details when booking and check them with the Ohio Department of Agriculture before any product is applied.

How is the rail core different from the new subdivisions?

The rail and crossroads core has frame houses and shallow cellars, and the new subdivisions have full poured basements. The walk is different in each: the core is read at the sill, and the subdivisions at the basement wall and the soffit.

The report separates the two, so the homeowner knows which findings belong to the older house and which to the new.

Commercial Point’s new Colonials often have a three-season room added to the rear. The joint between that room and the main house is checked for gaps, and the report notes whether the room has its own sill on the ground.
