Cockroach Control Tailored To Lancaster
Cockroach Control For Lancaster’s Older, Urban Homes
Lancaster City offers a deep history and an abundance of older, architecturally significant homes. But this poses unique challenges for roach treatment.
Cockroaches thrive in urban areas, like Lancaster City, due to the abundance of food and water sources like overflowing garbage bins and leaky pipes. Further, older homes like those throughout the city can be more susceptible to cockroach infestations due to increased entry points like cracks and gaps, outdated plumbing that provides water sources, and cluttered areas that offer ideal hiding spots.
The Akita team is experienced at treating older Lancaster homes, our home treatments are applied into the cracks and crevices of your house, where only pests can reach to truly get rid of roaches.
Expertise For Lancaster’s Rural Residents
Lancaster County is home to a thriving rural community. With 57% of Pennsylvania covered in woodlands, we understand our rural neighbors have unique pest control challenges.
While the same roaches, like German cockroaches, infest Lancaster’s city and rural homes, the state is home to some unique roach species, like the Pennsylvania wood cockroach, that are more common in rural or wooded areas. Properly identifying the pest you’ve encountered in your home is vital to a successful treatment, and our team is skilled at identifying the various species of roaches native to Lancaster County and Pennsylvania.
