Ants and wasps in Commercial Point's 2006 subdivisions

Newer homes keep out drafts better than older ones, but ants do not need a draft. They nest in the soil beside a foundation, in mulch and under pavers, and trail along a slab edge or a plumbing penetration until they find food. A kitchen counter with a sink drain nearby is the usual end of the line.

Wasps are the summer story. Two-story homes with deep eaves, covered porches and swing sets in the backyard give paper wasps plenty of anchor points. Spring is the best time to deal with a nest because it is small. By late summer, it can be the size of a softball and active near a door.

Where field-edge mice enter a newer house

A subdivision that has replaced farm ground has open fields close by. When harvest ends and nights drop below freezing, mice look for warmth. They come in through the garage door seal, the gap around a dryer vent or a pipe chase, and then climb to the attic or stay behind the wall. A new house has all of these. Mice need only a half inch.

Services Commercial Point homeowners ask about

Wiley Beckett's farmland, Genoa and a fast-growing Scioto Township

Wiley H. Beckett settled the area in 1829. The village was incorporated in 1851 as Genoa, merged with Rome and took the name Commercial Point in 1872. It lies in Scioto Township, Pickaway County, and Wikipedia calls it one of the fastest-growing villages in central Ohio, with 3,078 residents at the 2020 census.

Growth like that means a lot of recent construction on former farm ground. Graded lots, new landscaping and fresh mulch beds bring ants to the foundation, and open fields next door send mice into new garages in fall. The median household income was $102,689 at the 2020 census, which fits a village of owner-occupied homes with decks, play sets and finished garages.

Teays Valley West Middle School and Scioto Elementary serve the village, so evenings and weekends are when most owners are home. We book visits around that, and we tell you which parts of the lot we will check.

Commercial Point among the Scioto valley stops we make

Boydes has worked the Columbus area since 1990, and the 20 mile run to Commercial Point is one of the shorter trips we make into Pickaway County. Grove City, Obetz, South Bloomfield, Ashville and Orient are the nearby pages.

A 2006 median house and a 6% rental share mean mostly owner-occupied subdivisions, where the usual question is early-season treatment outside the house. Tell us what you saw and when it began, and we will plan from there.
