Heath is more of a retail center and a bedroom city than a downtown. The Cherry Valley area is the retail hub, and the housing around it is mostly late-1970s, with a median build year of 1978 and just 28% rented (ACS 2019-23). That puts ants, mice and stinging insects at the top for homes, and food-service pests at the top for businesses.
Cherry Valley retail and restaurants: delivery pests and schedules
A strip of restaurants, stores and offices brings in cardboard, produce and pallets every day, and each box can carry a roach or a stored-product pest. Back doors propped open for deliveries and shared dumpsters let flies and rodents travel between neighbors.
A regular visit schedule, set after an inspection, beats a call after the health department finds something. Food businesses can read about restaurant pest control, and shop owners can read about office and retail pest control.

Open grass and mature trees around the Great Circle Earthworks
Heath is the home of the Great Circle Earthworks, a large ring of earthen walls on mown grass. Big stretches of lawn and old shade trees suit wasps and carpenter ants, and a house beside mature trees deserves a look at its eaves and wood trim each summer.
A house from 1978 is nearly fifty years old, and it often has a wide garage door and a deck added later. Wood touching soil at the deck is the first place a carpenter ant colony settles. Our carpenter ant page lists what to look for.

Hebron Road and a city that grew after 1960: how Heath is laid out
Heath sits about 30 miles east of Columbus and is the third-largest municipality in Licking County. It became a village in 1952 and a city in 1965, and its population grew from 2,426 in 1960 to 6,066 in 1965 (Wikipedia). The median home was built in 1978, so much of the housing came out of that growth, and we see decks, garage doors and additions added after the original build.
The retail strip runs along Hebron Road (Ohio Route 79), and the Great Circle Earthworks sits at 455 Hebron Rd, managed by the Ohio History Connection and named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023. Its walls rise 8 feet above a moat 5 feet deep, on open mown grass. For homes beside open lawn, that means wasp nests on eaves and sheds in summer. For restaurants on Hebron Road, deliveries and shared dumpsters set the schedule.
Scheduling a Heath visit from Dunning Rd
Give us the Heath address and tell us how long you have been seeing the pests. A same-day visit can happen when the schedule allows, but the drive means a booked visit is more usual. We ask about allergies, pets and children, apply products by label directions and give you the re-entry time.
Next door is Newark, and we also work in Granville, Hebron, Buckeye Lake and Thornville. The Licking County page covers the rest. We have worked central Ohio since 1990, and a Heath call is planned like any other Licking County stop.
Pest control in Heath: common questions
Do you offer scheduled pest control for Heath restaurants and stores?
Yes. After an inspection of a Hebron Road or Cherry Valley Road property, we set follow-ups biweekly, monthly, bimonthly or as needed, based on the food service and building type. We write down what we find and what we apply so you have records. Pricing depends on the building and the pests, and we explain it before we begin.
Is Heath treated differently from Newark?
The visit is the same and the pests differ. Heath is newer, mostly late-1970s houses with 28% rented, so mice at the garage and ants at the kitchen are typical. Newark has older brick and more apartments. We inspect each property for what it actually has.
What should I do about a hornet nest in a Heath yard?
Stay a safe distance away and keep children and pets back. Do not knock it down or spray it, since hornets defend a nest hard, and Heath's mature trees and open lawns give them plenty of high spots. Call us and tell us where it is, how big it looks and how high up. Same-day visits are possible only when the schedule allows.
