Found ants in the kitchen? Heard scratching in the wall? You are not alone in Solon. Includesfocusing Pest Control is a referral service. We do not do the pest work.

Homes in Solon and the pests that love them
Homes in this region come in many styles. Many are frame houses that have stood for decades. Others are bungalows and ranch homes. Lots of them have full basements with sump pumps. (A sump pump is a small pump that moves water out of a basement.)
Each style gives pests a different way in. Older wood framing can have small gaps. Basements stay damp after spring flooding and summer storms. Cold winters push mice and rats indoors. Hot, humid summers bring ants, roaches, spiders and crickets. Termites like damp wood that sits near soil.
When DIY is fine, and when to call a pro
You can do a lot yourself in Solon. Start with the basics that stop pests from moving in.
Safe to try at home:
- Wipe up crumbs and spills each night.
- Keep food in sealed containers.
- Fix drips and empty damp pans.
- Seal tiny cracks with caulk.
- Put sticky traps along walls to learn what you have.
- Set a snap trap or two for a single mouse, out of reach of kids and pets.
Call a pro when the problem is bigger than a trap or a spray:
- You hear scratching in walls or the attic night after night.
- You see thin dirt tunnels on a foundation wall. Those are mud tubes, and termites build them.
- You find tiny dark spots on sheets or bites after sleeping. Bed bug treatment needs pro tools. Store-bought sprays often push the bugs deeper.
- A wasp nest sits high up or inside a wall.
- An animal is in your attic or crawl space.

Notes before the visit: photos and records
Good notes save time. They also help a provider quote the job correctly.
Take clear photos of the pest, the damage and the spot where you saw it. Add the date to your notes. Write down what you saw, where, and what you already tried. Keep receipts for any products you bought.
If damage is part of the story, your insurance may come up. Some policies may cover sudden damage. Slow, ongoing damage is often treated differently. Check your policy or ask your agent. Providers can often help document damage for a claim, but they cannot decide what a policy pays.
Your first hour
Stay calm. Here is a simple order of steps.
- Stay back from the pest. Do not poke nests or corner animals.
- Take photos from a safe distance.
- Put food away and seal trash.
- Keep kids and pets out of the area.
- Dry any wet spots you can reach.
- Skip strong chemicals. Mixing them can make you sick.
- Write your notes.
Then request an estimate. A local provider can look at the photos and tell you what to expect.
What changes the price
Costs vary by job, so treat these as typical U.S. ranges only. A one-time visit for ants or roaches often runs about $100 to $300. Ongoing plans are often about $40 to $70 a month. Termite treatment can run from about $500 to $2,500 or more. Rodent work, such as sealing entry holes, often falls between $300 and $1,500. Bed bug treatment can cost more, sometimes $1,000 to $3,000 or higher for a whole home.
What moves the price:
- House size and age
- How many pests, and how long they have been there
- Hard-to-reach spots like crawl spaces and attics
- Whether one visit or several are needed
Ask every provider for a written quote. Compare what each one includes before you choose.
