Free and No Obligations
Rocky River’s mix of century-old homes near the river bluffs and newer construction further from the water means we see a genuinely wide range of pest issues here — sometimes on the same street. Mature tree cover along the Rocky River Reservation and the neighborhoods bordering it brings consistent pressure from ants, spiders, and overwintering pests looking for a way indoors as the weather turns, while the area’s older housing stock — especially homes built before modern foundation and entry-point standards — is exactly the kind of place mice find their way in without anyone noticing until it’s a real problem.
We know this because we’re not commuting in from somewhere else to treat your home. Our owner, Shawn Payne, lives right here in Rocky River with his two daughters.

Why Rocky River homeowners choose us
Less than 300 pest control companies nationally hold GreenPro certification, and fewer than 3% hold QualityPro certification — we’re one of them. We don’t send inexperienced technicians out with a single generic product; every treatment plan is customized to your home and the pest you’re actually dealing with. And because our owner lives in this community, we’re not just another van rolling through the neighborhood — this is where we actually live.

He now lives in Rocky River with his two daughters — which means when we talk about knowing the “nooks, crannies, and quirks” of homes in this area, we mean it literally.

Tim DiamondWe called Lakewood Exterminating when we discovered a nest of yellow jackets under our sun porch. We didn’t know anything about the company. We picked them because their office was the closest to our house. And we crossed our fingers that they would come through. And boy, did they! Christopher was fantastic. Not only did he eliminate the nest we had called about, he discovered another one in the garage. He was thorough, efficient, knowledgeable, and skilled in his work. Plus, a delight to speak with and an all-around great guy. We feel so lucky to have found Lakewood Exterminating. People in the office were exceptional as well, with scheduling and follow up. The entire team is top-notch!Posted on Google

FAQ
Yes — we treat homes throughout Rocky River, including properties bordering Rocky River Reservation and the areas closer to Lake Erie.
It can. Older homes near the bluffs often have more entry points for mice and more moisture-related conditions that attract carpenter ants, so we’ll inspect for both specifically.
Request a quote and we’ll get back to you with a plan of action as soon as we hear from you — most customers hear back the same day.
If you’re not satisfied with the results of your treatment, let us know and we’ll make it right — that guarantee is part of every service plan, including quarterly pest control.
Our treatments are formulated to be child- and pet-friendly, so in most cases you don’t need to vacate. We’ll walk you through any specific precautions for your situation when we schedule your visit.
A one-time visit addresses an active problem; quarterly service keeps ants, spiders, and seasonal invaders from coming back by treating on a recurring schedule before they re-establish. Most Rocky River homeowners near the reservation’s tree cover find quarterly service worth it given the ongoing pressure from wooded areas nearby.
