Services
Merlin's Pest Control opened for business in 2004.
Dave R. "Big Dave" Hoffman (Senior) started the company in his garage.
Our original service vehicle was a 1987 Chevrolet Astro van that was basically a family heirloom.
We had nothing but simple tools of the trade; all of our paperwork was handwritten.
Dave was a man with a plan and a can.
Senior was joined in 2007 by his son, David S. "Little Dave" Hoffman (Junior).
Little Dave worked in the computer field for many years and brought his skills and experience to the company.

Ants are social insects, related to wasps and bees.
Ants evolved from wasp-like ancestors 110 and 130 million years ago and diversified after the rise of flowering plants.
More than 12,500 out of an estimated total of 22,000 species have been classified.
A few ants classified as pests include the pavement ant, yellow crazy ant, sugar ants, the Pharaoh ant, carpenter ants, Argentine ant, odorous house ants, red imported fire ant and European fire ant.
Ants are some of the strongest creatures comparative to their size.

There are over a dozen kinds of ants in Ohio.
There are sugar eating ants, grease eating ants, wood destroying ants, stinging ants, non-pest ants, and even beneficial ants.
You can email us with a picture of them and we can help identify them.
Don't spray them with glass cleaner or bleach until you know what they are, because some ants can be made much worse by spraying them.
Field ants are beneficial, and almost never become pests.
In fact, they help clean sap off of certain flowers and help them bloom.

If we could come up with just one word that explains bedbugs, it would be "nightmare".
These things will not only suck your blood while you sleep, but their feces will also damage furniture, and they will keep you up and night, and there is nothing worse than not having a good nights sleep.
They aren't easy to get rid of, either.
Being that they are the size of apple seeds, they are highly adept at hiding in tight spaces and staying out of sight.
If you are a "pack rat", you are in for trouble.

When people talk about cockroaches, they are probably referring to german cockroaches.
These are the kitchen roaches, the light brown ones that scatter when you turn the light on in your kitchen at night.
They can survive on almost anything, we've witnessed them living in an abandoned house eating hand soap to survive.
Spraying them is almost impossible to kill them off.
You may kill a few that are running around, but for every roach you see running around, there are 10 living in the walls.
You have to bait them out of the walls to truly control them.
