How Lancaster Pest Control works
Lancaster Pest Control was set up to answer pest calls in Lancaster at any hour, and to make sure the first visit is a proper walk. The line takes the call, records the sign and sends the job to a local firm that covers the address and holds the licence for the work.
The approach follows the Ohio State University Extension material on termites: the swarm is the most common way an infestation is found, the swarmers are often mistaken for winged ants, and treatment typically needs a professional firm. Every visit therefore starts with the evidence and the walk, and the treatment is chosen from the options in the written plan.
A household in any town on the list gets the same walk and the same written plan. The paperwork follows the Ohio Commercial Pesticide Applicator licence, and the record names the category used.
A local firm with the Ohio licence does the work
Lancaster Pest Control answers the phone for Lancaster and the Fairfield County villages around it. When you call, the job goes to a local firm that covers your address and that holds the Ohio Commercial Pesticide Applicator licence for the category the work needs. The firm sends the technician who walks the house, carries out the treatment if one is chosen and writes up what was found.
The licence and the compliance sit with that firm, because the firm is the business on site. It must keep the financial responsibility Ohio requires of an applicator, carry the insurance that goes with the work and answer to the Ohio Department of Agriculture for what it applies and records. Lancaster Pest Control does not apply pesticides and does not hold those credentials on the firm's behalf.
Ask for the licence number on the phone at (855) 974-4733, or when the firm's technician calls to agree a time. The number is kept off this site for the privacy of the person who holds it. You can check any licence yourself against the Department of Agriculture's published information before a product is applied.

What we hold ourselves to
Walk before any product
The inspection decides what is needed. A treatment is an option in the plan, not the opening move, and the household chooses it with the findings in front of it.
Price on site, in writing
No price is quoted on the phone, because it depends on the walk. The price for each option is confirmed on site and written into the plan before any work begins.
Records that outlast the visit
Each walk produces a list of openings, the findings and the work done. The household keeps the record, so the next visit and any later question start from the facts.
Our promises on every visit
- Termite questions start with the sample, the place and the wood at grade
- The price is confirmed on site before any work begins, and never on the phone
- Products are applied under their label, and the household is told where and for how long to keep away
- The record names the category, the licence and the product class for each job

Frequently asked questions
Who does the work?
A local firm sends the technician. The technician walks the property, applies anything that is applied and writes up the findings. Lancaster Pest Control takes the call and arranges the visit.
Who is responsible if something goes wrong on the job?
The firm that sends the technician is responsible for the work it performs, and it answers to the Ohio Department of Agriculture for what it applies and records. If a problem follows a visit, call the line and the job is looked at again with the record in hand.
Can I ask for the licence?
Yes, at any time. Ask on the phone, or when the firm calls to agree a time. The licence number is not printed on this site, for the privacy of the person who holds it.
