Pest Control in Harrisburg, PA — Locally Owned & Licensed

Ants on the kitchen counter in April. Spiders in the basement by June. Wasps at the back door in August — something new every season, and a different 1-800 number each time you look it up. We're one licensed local applicator who treats the outside of your house so the inside stays yours. The person who answers the phone is the same person who walks your property and does the work.

Perimeter-Only Pest Control — No Indoor Spraying Our pest control is built around stopping pests at the property line: foundation, eaves, garage doors, soffits, sheds, and outdoor entry points. We don't spray inside your home for routine work — no kitchen treatments, no baseboard fogs, no chemicals in your living space. Better for kids, pets, pollinators, and air quality. The one exception is a stinging insect breakthrough: if a yellow jacket nest has opened into a living space and the nest has to come out, we will treat and remove it inside. That's a nest removal, not routine pest service. If pests aren't getting in, you don't need indoor treatment.

We're based right here in Central PA, we know which pests show up where and when, and we build treatment plans around your specific property — not a one-size-fits-all package. We're licensed, fully insured, and a Pennsylvania-certified NWCO. No long-term contracts required to get a quote.

Our Pest Control Services

General Pest Control

Foundation and perimeter treatments targeting ants, spiders, silverfish, centipedes, earwigs, millipedes, and other common Central PA household pests. Available as one-time service or seasonal prevention programs.

Mosquito and Tick Control

Yard barrier treatments that knock down mosquito and tick populations through the warm months. Deer ticks carry Lyme disease and West Nile virus is a documented concern in Central PA. Treatments timed to local breeding cycles. Learn more →

Yellow Jacket, Hornet & Wasp Removal

Same-week response — often same-day — for active stinging insect nests near doors, decks, eaves, or play areas. We safely remove ground nests, eaves nests, and basketball-sized bald-faced hornet nests. Learn more →

Fly Remediation

Exterior and source-based fly control for homes, restaurants, food service businesses, and farms. We treat the breeding sites — dumpster zones, manure piles, drain access exteriors — not the flies you see inside.

Seasonal Pest Prevention Programs

Quarterly or bi-monthly programs that prevent pest problems before they start. Timed to seasonal pest pressure: ants in spring, mosquitoes and stinging insects in summer, overwintering pests in fall.

Spotted Lanternfly Home Perimeter Treatments

We treat the surfaces lanternflies congregate on — siding, fascia, around windows, patio furniture — without compromising your tree treatments or harming nearby pollinators. We also do systemic treatments to protect trees from being fed on, which works from inside the tree rather than as a spray. See spotted lanternfly treatment.

What We Don't Treat Rodent control (mice and rats) and cockroach extermination aren't part of our service mix. For either, reach out to a specialist focused on those pests. Squirrels, raccoons, groundhogs, and other nuisance wildlife are handled separately — see nuisance wildlife.

Common Pests in the Harrisburg Area

Spring

Carpenter ants and pavement ants are the most common callouts. Stink bugs emerge from winter hiding. Spotted lanternfly nymphs hatch.

Summer

Mosquitoes and ticks at peak pressure. Yellow jackets and paper wasps build nests. Spotted lanternfly adults appear.

Late Summer / Fall

Bald-faced hornets reach peak nest size. Yellow jackets become aggressive. Overwintering pests start congregating on south-facing siding — the prime exterior treatment window.

Winter

Cluster flies, stink bugs, and ladybugs gather on warm south walls and slip in through small gaps. Late-fall exterior perimeter treatments prevent the bulk of next year's first-warm-day swarms.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does pest control cost in Harrisburg?
Pricing depends on property size, treatment type, and whether you need a one-time service or seasonal program. We give free estimates over the phone or on-site — no high-pressure sales calls and no contracts to sign just to get a price.
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes, when used as directed. We use EPA-registered products applied by a Pennsylvania-licensed pesticide applicator. We'll always tell you the re-entry interval. We also offer reduced-risk and organic-compatible product options.
Do you offer one-time treatments, or only contracts?
Both. One-off problems get one-off treatments. If you'd rather not deal with pests at all, our seasonal programs prevent most issues before they start. No long-term contract required either way.
Do you service farms and rural properties?
Yes. We provide agricultural pest services including fly control for cattle, poultry mite and louse treatments, sheep and goat parasite control, and varroa mite management for honey bees.
Do you handle honey bees?
Yes — but we don't exterminate them. We coordinate with our partner apiary, The Alleman Apiary, to remove and relocate them alive. Learn more about our Honey Bee Removal services.
