What To Know About Pests In Dayton
Public Health Dayton & Montgomery County traps mosquitoes around the county every summer and sends samples to the Ohio Department of Health for West Nile testing. When a sample tests positive, it notifies the neighborhood and sprays. You can reach the program at 937-225-4362.
The Memorial Day tornadoes in 2019 tore through North Dayton and nearby suburbs, and a lot of homes got new roofs and siding afterward. Rushed repairs sometimes leave gaps at the roofline, so check the attic for mice and wasp nests in any rebuilt home.

Dayton Pest Control FAQs
Message us about anything else going on at your Dayton place, photos help.
Does Montgomery County spray for mosquitoes?
Yes, but only when testing finds West Nile virus in a trap. Public Health Dayton & Montgomery County runs the program and announces spray areas ahead of time.
For steady relief in your own yard, dump standing water weekly and consider a barrier treatment.
Should I get a pest check on a house repaired after the 2019 tornadoes?
It’s a good idea. New roofs and siding went up fast across North Dayton, and small gaps at the eaves let mice and wasps in.
A tech can look over the attic and roofline in one visit.
Why do I find mice every fall in Dayton?
Older homes here have block or stone foundations with plenty of cracks. Once nights get cold, mice follow warm air to those gaps.
Seal anything bigger than a dime with steel wool and caulk. Keep pet food in sealed bins.
How bad are bed bugs in Dayton?
Dayton came in 38th on Orkin’s latest bed bug list, lower than Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati. They’re still common in apartments and hotels.
Check mattress seams after any trip and don’t drag curbside furniture inside.
Do my kids and pets need to leave during a treatment?
Not for most visits. Keep everyone off treated floors and lawns until they dry.
Heat treatment for bed bugs is the exception. Plan on the whole family and the pets being out for the day.
