Pest Control in York: Addressing Urban and Rural Challenges
York County offers residents a beautiful urban-rural mix, with the wide sprawl of the city surrounded by farmlands, the Susquehanna River, and rural communities.
York County’s blend of urban and rural landscapes creates a diverse pest control challenge. The city faces common urban pests, while surrounding areas contend with rural and agricultural pests. This requires pest control expertise in both domains.

Akita Pest Control understands these challenges. Our technicians are specifically trained to identify and treat pests common to riverside properties.
We’re not just experts in mosquito control, but also in dealing with a wide range of pests that thrive in damp conditions, such as certain types of ants, centipedes, and even some spiders. With Akita, you can enjoy your riverside property without being overrun by unwanted guests.
