Bed bugs keep biting while you hunt for someone to call. Dayton callers can use one number here; the call is passed to an independent company covering that ZIP code, and whether to book stays entirely with the caller.
Before work starts, ask for the applicator's Ohio pesticide license number and check it on the Ohio Department of Agriculture's Pesticide Applicator Search. Bed bug work falls under category 10a, General pest control. This site does not license, vet or endorse any provider.
Ask to see the proof behind any plan: live insects, eggs, cast skins or dark spotting on the mattress seams, and the rooms where each turned up. When the search finds nothing, a fair question is what else could be causing the bites, asked before any money changes hands.

Look for a provider that inspects before recommending anything and builds a follow-up visit into the plan. Before work starts, ask for the applicator's Ohio pesticide license number and check it on the Ohio Department of Agriculture's Pesticide Applicator Search. Also ask how it chooses between heat and chemical work and what preparation you will need to do.
Yes, and it tends to work better when units next to the affected one are checked as well, because bed bugs can move between apartments through walls and outlets. Tell the landlord or manager in writing and keep a copy. Ohio's ORC 5321.04 describes a landlord's duty to keep premises fit and habitable; this is not legal advice.
Usually more than one. Ohio State University Extension says infestations are generally handled by a licensed pest management professional, often with more than one treatment. The provider decides the number after the inspection, based on the method chosen and how established the infestation is.
For heat treatment, usually yes: rooms are heated to levels that kill bed bugs, so people and pets stay out until the provider says it is safe to come back. After chemical work, the provider tells you when you can go back in. Follow the provider's own instructions; Ohio State University Extension fact sheet HYG-2105 has general bed bug guidance.
They can, if a hiding place is missed or new bugs arrive in luggage, bags or secondhand furniture. For that reason many providers leave interceptor cups and schedule a recheck, and mattress encasements help because fresh activity is easier to spot on them. Ask what the provider does if bugs show up again after the plan ends.
