The man who quotes the job is the man who does it.

A local company, not a franchise route

National pest brands sell a schedule. Whoever is on the route that day arrives, runs a template treatment and leaves a door hanger. That works fine until you have yellow jackets in a wall void or termite tubes on a foundation — problems that need a person who can identify the species and read the structure.

Bugs Or Us is the other model. Ken Packard holds Ohio Department of Agriculture license #12706, inspects every property himself, and applies every product himself. If something is still active two weeks later, you call the same number and the same person comes back.

What thirty years in the Miami Valley teaches you

Dayton's housing stock runs from century homes in Oakwood to post-war ranches in Kettering to new construction in Springboro, and each one fails in its own way. Aluminum soffits hide paper wasps. Block foundations let mice in at the sill. Wet mulch against a foundation guarantees pillbugs and earwigs by July. Knowing that in advance is most of the job.

We treat residential and commercial properties — homes, offices, medical practices, restaurants and rental portfolios — with weekday and Saturday appointments across Greater Dayton.

Bugs Or Us has been BBB accredited with an A+ rating since 1998 and holds a 5.0 rating on Angi across 88 reviews. Those came from thirty years of showing up.
