Ant infestation is one of the most commonly reported pest problems. Many varieties of ants can be found in Northeast Ohio. They usually get into your home or business through cracks around windows or doors because they are looking for moisture and an acceptable food source. When you find you have a problem with ants in Northeast Ohio, you need a trained and licensed exterminator such as TNT Exterminating to handle it.
Spiders
Interior insect treatment and inspection. Main targets include spiders, rodents, and carpenter ants. Remember: Most pest problems that occur in the spring and summer are a result of not doing anything in the winter months.
Termites
Have you been bothered by different pests as the seasons change? In the spring you are ready with your ant spray, but a couple of months later you are bothered by yellow jackets. In Northeast Ohio the bugs that invade your home and yard can change from month to month. In mid-March termites may be a problem. By April it may be carpenter ants, and by May it will be carpenter bees and wasps. Mid summer brings yellow jackets and fleas, which will continue until the first frost, when you need to start worrying about mice and bed bugs.
Bed Bugs
TNT Exterminating was founded in 1936 and operated by the Portwood family until 1988 when Gerry and Janet Grace purchased the company. Their son, Mike Grace, purchased it in 1995 and continues with his family to this day. It was based in downtown Akron across from Luigi’s for 75 years. As the N. Main St. area developed and the company grew into the Cleveland and NEO markets, it was relocated to Macedonia. In the last 12 years Bed Bugs became a scourge in Ohio, and TNT led with Heat equipment and strategies for their control.

Earwigs
Mosquitoes
According to the National Pest Management Association, the warm, wet spring Midwesterners are experiencing is contributing to an early spike in some pest populations. In Northeast Ohio ticks and mosquitoes got a jump start and are likely to continue to thrive all summer, and all varieties of ants will be present in abundance in Read More
Flies
The food service industry is vulnerable to grease and organic build up in drain lines because of the daily process of preparing food and cleaning up. The result is slow or clogged drain lines, odors from rotting food and breeding of drain flies. Unfortunately, conventional methods of using enzymes or bleach are not effective in breaking down the grease and debris.
Millipedes
Yellow Jackets
. We always strive to prevent infestations, but if you suddenly see an influx of carpenter ants, we’ll be there to handle it. While we may not be able to prevent yellow jackets in your yard, we will provide emergency service to eliminate any nests.
Be aware that our Diamond Program does not cover termites or wildlife control, but our technicians are ready to serve you, whatever your need may be. Call TNT Exterminating for the best year-round pest control in Northeast Ohio.
Before the cooler temperatures arrive, we power spray again to keep insects from building nests inside the home. The main targets include spiders and rodents.
Mice
Rats
Harold J. Portwood discovered the need for pest control when his father-in-law’s farm was overtaken by rats and he was tasked with getting rid of them. He found few exterminating companies available to help him out, and quickly recognized a need for services for commercial and industrial facilities like his father-in-law’s farm.
