Pest control on the West Side of Youngstown, 44509, is steadier residential work than the rest of the city. The blocks off Mahoning Avenue and around Chaney High School are 1920s to 1950s homes, better kept and more fully occupied than the East and South Sides, with full basements, front porches, detached garages and mature maples on the tree lawns. The calls are mice in October, odorous house ants after spring rain, brown marmorated stink bugs and Asian lady beetles on the sunny sides of the house in September, paper wasps under the porch ceilings, and termite inspections on the NPMA-33 form when these homes sell.
Pest Control Youngstown OH services West Side homes on quarterly plans timed for ants in spring, wasps in summer, overwintering pests in late August and mice before the first frost, and handles the pre listing and buyer side termite inspections that come with a steady flow of home sales here. Exclusion at the garage door and sill plate is included on rodent jobs. Alexander pays attention to the gutters on West Side visits, because the maples fill them every fall and wet fascia and soffits are where the carpenter ants and the overwintering insects get in. Homes on the west edge of Mill Creek Park get the same wildlife and tick pressure as the South Side.

Pest Control in West Side — Local Notes
- •Stink bugs, boxelder bugs and lady beetles pile onto south and west facing siding in September and enter behind vinyl siding and at window frames
- •Clogged gutters from the mature maples keep fascia and soffits wet, which is where carpenter ants nest on the West Side
- •Home sales on the West Side regularly turn up old, inactive termite or carpenter ant evidence in basements that has to be documented correctly on the NPMA-33
- •Detached garages with worn door seals are the main fall mouse entry
