Welcome to

We have just completed a new install for bedbug, roach, mice and other pest monitoring and preventive exterminating at a donation type store that is geared to help out the community but in doing so this type of store runs a very high risk of spreading pest such as bedbugs, carpet beetles, and roaches. This is in no way the intention of the store nor the donators. These pest are masters at hiding and hitchhiking a ride in the most unsuspecting places. Some examples include; books, toys, clothes, linen, luggage, appliances, electronics, food, cardboard, tools, shoes and almost any other item that you can imagine. Even through a close inspection of every item and this is almost impossible to do since there a large daily donation coming into the building and it take many labor hours just to process. To provide the meticulous inspection needed to catch a tiny insect egg, larvae, or baby deep inside an item it would just be impossible to do. The store already has it’s own processes in place to inspect, and to treat furniture with approved products and to launder clothing and well as a good lay out and proper sanitation but this alone will not guarantee a pest free environment so we where contracted to help add additional control. We came up with a plan that consist of constant pest monitoring by using bedbug monitors, roach, ant, beetle and mice monitors placed in strategic locations to best catch any potential infestations while at the same time applying residual insecticides, baits, and insect growth regulators that are best suited for that pest type and making sure that the pest control products are rotated to insure there is no chance of failing with a resistant strain of bedbug, roach or other. We also put in place a rodent control program that consist of exterior bait stations, interior bait stations, and multi-catch traps. Traps, bait stations, and monitors are placed in a pest log system that insures all pest control devices are numbered, labeled, dated on each service, then logged into the Akita book for reference and to ensure proper tracking. With this type of mutual pest control program ( integrated pest management ) it now ensures the best possible results.

How to control fleas. We provide flea control in Lancaster, PA. York, PA. and Harrisburg, PA. We have daily expertise in flea control. Flea control as a homeowner; Preventive tips; wildlife will bring fleas near your home. Rats, mice, chipmunks, rabbits, squirrels, possums stray cats and more. While it is impossible to keep unwanted critters away you can minimize the reasons why they come by keeping trash in tightly sealed cans, clean up after fruit trees, use chicken wire around your vegetables plants. Keep grills clean after every use. Most importantly remove or reduce harborage such as landscape stones, railroad ties, overgrown ivy and weeds. Seal off void spaces under decks or porches and keep grass and bushes trimmed. For your pets; keep the pets on a regular scheduled flea drop medication as recommended by your veterinarian. The flea drops will get into the pets blood and work after the flea feeds on the pet. This a slow steady control measure that works well. In the home;  Wash pet bedding often on high heat and vacuum, vacuum and vacuum some more. By doing this you will interrupt the fleas natural life cycle. Adult fleas will overfeed and the excess droppings that are excreted and then dropped onto the carpet where the larva stage will feed on it in order advance into the pupa stage where they will then become an adult. The vacuuming will also assist in picking up any loose eggs and triggering the pupa stage to hatch out because they sense the vibrations has a trigger to hatch. Other than the tips provided above we do not recommend the homeowner treat with pesticides on their own but if you do there are many products out there that can help. Please make sure that you read the label and follow the instructions to the letter. This is a very intense treatment that requires a larger amount of product to be placed into the home. Nearly all pesticide accidents that occur are from untrained homeowners that do not follow the specific guidelines. If you do attempt to do it yourself use extreme caution.

Nicknamed piss ants or sugar ants, these little guys can take over a home or even an entire residential block. With multiple ant colonies ant their ability to adapt to the surroundings they can number in the millions. Outdoors in the natural environment they will feed on honeydew as well as floral nectar. In a residence they will find many foods with most associated with sweets. They will even seek out items that carry sweet odors such as perfumes, toothpaste, and air fresheners, not really for consumption but it is the odors that attract them to a bathroom or a computer keyboard for example. They have the ability to build a colony in the most obscure areas sometimes and they have a habit of moving the colony from location to location. Sometimes they can move in just one day. They can also have many multiple colonies and these colonies can divide into sub colonies very quickly. They can detect when chemicals are applied and will eventually simply find other ways around it or if the colony numbers are so great they can wear down a residual barrier and still have plenty of ants in the colonies to keep going. Sometimes when baits are used they know a certain branch is starting to get sick and simply close off that branch. They have such a keen awareness and great communication that it can become impossible for the average person to rid themselves of this type of ant infestation. We use a non-repellent insecticide that works slow thus allowing the colony to be killed before they know what is happening. This is achieved through a transfer affect. We will use a combination of liquids and baits. For a mild infestation one treatment can be enough. For a very heavy infestation in a neighborhood with many other infested homes that are not treating as they should, you can have problems popping up over and over. For that at least an every 3 month application  should be made.
