Newark, Ohio
Contact
Two ways in, and they end up in the same place. Calling is quicker because the operator can ask the two or three questions that decide the price while you are still standing there.
Call
If nobody picks up, leaving the address and a callback number on the voicemail is more use than hanging up, because a message can be returned and a silent missed call cannot.
If you are not sure this is the right number
An animal lying in a public roadway is usually somebody else’s job, and paying for it privately is a waste of your money. The homepage sets out who handles what in and around Newark before you spend anything.
If the animal is inside the building, under a deck, in the attic or somewhere you cannot see at all, or anywhere on your land outside the Newark city limits, it is a private job and this is the right number. One lying in a yard inside the city limits is the Division of Streets’ to remove once they are told, so the homepage table is worth a look first.
What to have ready
- The address and the ZIP code.
- Where on the property it is, as precisely as you can say.
- Roughly how long it has been there, even if the answer is a guess.
- Anything that affects getting to it: a locked gate, a dog in the yard, a crawl space hatch that has never been opened.
You do not need to know what species it is. Say what you do know. Where it is and whether it can be reached matter far more than what it is, though a few species change the answer.
Where jobs get sent
Twenty ZIP codes, centered on 43055 and running out to Utica, Granville, Hebron and Pataskala. The service area page lists them, and the form asks for yours so an out-of-range address gets a straight answer instead of a wasted callback.
