Editorial Review

Our Take on Plunkett's Pest Control

Plunkett's earns trust by publishing its local team and a technician license lookup, a level of openness most competitors skip. Early weekday hours help, though there is no weekend service listed.

Company Background

About Plunkett's Pest Control

Plunkett's Pest Control is one of the older names in the business, saying it has delivered pest management to homes and businesses for over 100 years. Its Columbus branch sits in a commercial warehouse at 1001 Checkrein Avenue on the north side and opens early, 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday according to Google.

What stands out is how openly Plunkett's shows its people. The Columbus page lists the local team by name, and the company's licenses page offers a technician license lookup so you can see who will enter your home and what licenses that person holds. The same page links to product labels and safety data sheets, which helps families with pets or small children who want to read up on what is being sprayed. Services include general pest control, termite treatment, rodent control, bed bug treatment and mosquito control, and the company says each mosquito treatment gives relief for two weeks or more. Free estimates are offered online.

Google shows 4.7 from 655 Google reviews, read November 11, 2026. Recent reviewers praise Kyle for arriving on time and explaining a yellow jacket treatment and its follow up, Shasta for being kind and thorough on a sugar ant and spider service, and Tony for detailed notes after treating a condo inside and out. The harshest review, about a year old, said a technician named Jason rushed through the inspection and brushed off the customer's concerns.

Plunkett's suits homeowners who want an established company with early weekday hours and a way to check their technician's license ahead of time. It suits less well anyone who needs Saturday appointments. Ask about termite warranty terms and what a recurring plan includes. Before booking, ask for the company's Ohio Department of Agriculture pesticide business license and the applicator license of the technician who will treat your home, then check both on the department's license search.
