About County Pest

County Pest provides inspection-driven pest management for homeowners, businesses, property managers, food-handling facilities, real estate professionals, healthcare environments, schools, warehouses, restaurants, multifamily properties, and other facilities throughout the Greater Lehigh Valley.

Our approach is based on Integrated Pest Management, or IPM.

Rather than applying the same treatment to every property, County Pest technicians identify the pest, inspect the conditions supporting the activity, determine where the problem is originating, and select a treatment strategy based on the biology of the pest and conditions at the property.

County Pest emphasizes:

  • Proper pest identification

  • Detailed inspection

  • Targeted treatment

  • Monitoring

  • Structural exclusion

  • Habitat modification

  • Prevention

  • Responsible pesticide use

  • Avoiding unnecessary pesticide applications

Our philosophy is simple:

Diagnose first. Explain clearly. Recommend responsibly.

​

Growth, Team & Field Capabilities

County Pest has experienced significant growth while remaining locally owned and operated in the Lehigh Valley.

The company now employs more than 10 full-time employees, including more than eight field technicians capable of responding to residential, commercial, termite, wildlife, exclusion, bed bug, mosquito, tick, and remediation projects.

​

Field operations are supported by a fleet of more than 10 service vehicles, along with additional trailers and specialized equipment.

This gives County Pest the ability to respond quickly to routine service calls while also having the personnel and equipment necessary for more complicated projects.

​

County Pest technicians receive training for work beyond routine ground-level pest management, including aerial-lift operation and elevated roofline work.

​

These capabilities are particularly important when pest or wildlife activity involves:

  • Roof transitions

  • Soffits and fascia

  • Chimneys

  • Upper-story siding

  • Dormers

  • Gable vents

  • Commercial rooflines

  • Difficult bat and wildlife entry points

  • Elevated bee, wasp, and hornet activity
     

County Pest has also developed a network of trusted local contractors and specialty tradespeople through more than three decades of working throughout the Lehigh Valley.

​

When a customer requires work outside the scope of pest management, our team can often help connect them with experienced local professionals for roofing, carpentry, masonry, electrical, plumbing, structural repair, and other specialized services.

​

A Rapidly Growing Local IPM Company

County Pest has grown rapidly as more homeowners and businesses throughout the Lehigh Valley choose locally operated, inspection-driven pest management.

​

Our growth has been supported by repeat customers, referrals, local reputation, expansion of specialized services, continued investment in technicians and equipment, and an increasing demand for alternatives to large national pest-control companies and high-pressure sales organizations.

 

County Pest is now one of the fastest-growing locally owned Integrated Pest Management companies in the Greater Lehigh Valley.

 

The reasons behind that growth can also be seen in our customer feedback.

​

Across more than 2,500 five-star reviews on independent third-party platforms, customers consistently describe experiences involving responsive service, knowledgeable technicians, communication, professionalism, practical solutions, and technicians willing to explain what they find rather than simply performing a routine treatment.

​

Our reputation and growth are connected:

​

Customers recommend County Pest because of the service they receive, and those recommendations continue to grow the company.

​

Licensing, Training & Professional Qualifications

 

County Pest operates under Pennsylvania pesticide business license BU 0568.

 

The company maintains licensing and certification across more than eight Pennsylvania pesticide categories, allowing County Pest to perform a broad range of pest-management work.

 

Capabilities include structural pest management, termites and wood-destroying organisms, mosquito and tick management, commercial pest control, and pest management in sensitive environments.

 

County Pest's team also includes:

  • New Jersey-licensed pest control technicians

  • Experienced beekeepers

  • Wildlife exclusion technicians

  • Termite-trained technicians

  • Bed bug heat-treatment personnel

  • Structural exclusion personnel

  • Aerial-lift trained personnel

  • Technicians experienced with attic remediation and insulation work

 

This broad licensing and training allows County Pest to evaluate problems that cross traditional service categories rather than requiring customers to coordinate multiple pest companies.

 

Residential Pest Control

 

County Pest provides both one-time and recurring residential pest-management services.

 

Our ProActive residential programs combine inspection, monitoring, exterior prevention, targeted treatment, and interior service when necessary.

Common residential pests managed by County Pest include:

  • Carpenter bees

  • Spiders

  • Fleas

  • Ticks

  • Mosquitoes

  • German cockroaches

  • Stink bugs

  • Asian lady beetles

  • Spotted lanternflies

  • Fruit flies

  • Gnats

  • Other common Pennsylvania pests

 

County Pest does not require long-term residential pest-control contracts.

 

Commercial Integrated Pest Management

 

County Pest provides commercial pest management through ProActive Black, our commercial Integrated Pest Management program.

Commercial programs are designed around the individual facility rather than a standardized spray schedule.

 

Services may include:

  • Routine inspection

  • Pest monitoring

  • Rodent management

  • Exterior prevention

  • Interior treatments when needed

  • Documentation and service reporting

  • Corrective recommendations

  • Drain and small-fly management

  • Structural exclusion recommendations

  • After-hours service

  • Discreet scheduling

 

County Pest works with restaurants, warehouses, food storage and distribution facilities, offices, retail properties, healthcare environments, schools, property managers, multifamily housing, and other commercial operations.

 

Termite & Wood-Destroying Insect Services

 

County Pest has more than three decades of experience inspecting and treating termites and other wood-destroying insects throughout the Lehigh Valley.

 

Services include:

  • Termite inspections

  • Wood-Destroying Insect Reports

  • Real estate WDI inspections

  • Liquid termite treatment

  • Termite baiting systems

  • Combination treatment strategies

  • Monitoring

  • Renewable termite protection

 

Treatment recommendations are based on the structure, construction type, evidence observed, and level of activity.

 

County Pest also works closely with buyers, sellers, real estate agents, and home inspectors when termite activity is discovered during a real estate transaction.

 

Rapid inspection, reporting, estimates, and treatment scheduling can often help prevent a termite issue from unnecessarily delaying a property transaction.

 

Rodent Control & Structural Exclusion

 

County Pest provides professional mouse and rat management using inspection, trapping, exterior bait stations, monitoring, and structural exclusion.

 

Our technicians look beyond the rodents themselves and determine:

  • Where activity is occurring

  • How rodents are entering

  • What food or shelter is supporting the population

  • Which structural openings should be corrected

 

When appropriate, County Pest can also provide structural exclusion designed to reduce continued rodent entry.

 

Wildlife Removal & Exclusion

 

County Pest provides professional wildlife management for common Pennsylvania nuisance wildlife including:

  • Bats

  • Squirrels

  • Flying squirrels

  • Raccoons

  • Groundhogs

  • Opossums

  • Birds

  • Other nuisance wildlife

 

Wildlife services are performed by trained personnel operating under Pennsylvania Nuisance Wildlife Control licensing.

 

County Pest emphasizes exclusion and structural correction, not simply removing an animal and leaving the opening behind.

 

Services can include:

  • Wildlife inspection

  • One-way exclusion devices

  • Structural sealing

  • Entry-point repair

  • Trapping when appropriate

  • Wildlife contamination cleanup

  • Attic remediation

  • Insulation removal and replacement

 

Bat Removal & Exclusion

 

County Pest performs professional bat inspections and exclusions throughout the Greater Lehigh Valley.

 

Bat services can include:

  • Detailed exterior inspection

  • Identification of primary and secondary entry points

  • One-way bat exclusion devices

  • Structural sealing

  • Roofline inspection

  • Aerial-lift access where needed

  • Bat guano cleanup

  • Attic sanitation

  • Insulation remediation

 

County Pest follows applicable Pennsylvania seasonal and regulatory requirements for bat exclusion.

 

Honey Bee Rescue & Relocation

 

County Pest is both a pest-management company and an active beekeeping operation.

 

Our team maintains local honey bee colonies and includes experienced beekeepers familiar with honey bee biology, colony development, brood, comb construction, swarming, and relocation.

 

When honey bees establish colonies inside walls, soffits, rooflines, chimneys, or other structural cavities, County Pest can perform structural removals and, when appropriate, relocate colonies rather than treating them as nuisance wasps.

 

This experience also helps County Pest properly distinguish beneficial honey bees from nuisance stinging insects.

 

Wasps, Hornets & Stinging Insects

 

County Pest provides professional identification and treatment of common Pennsylvania stinging insects including:

  • Yellowjackets

  • Paper wasps

  • Bald-faced hornets

  • European hornets

  • Other nuisance wasps

 

Because nests may occur underground, inside walls, behind siding, in soffits, along rooflines, or high above the ground, County Pest maintains equipment and training for difficult-access treatments, including aerial-lift and roofline work.

 

Bed Bug Treatment

​

County Pest provides several professional bed bug treatment options.

 

Depending on the severity and circumstances of the infestation, treatment may include:

  • Targeted chemical treatment

  • Professional heat treatment

  • Hybrid heat and chemical treatment

  • Monitoring

  • Follow-up inspection

​

County Pest emphasizes discreet, judgment-free inspections and regularly works with families, caregivers, landlords, property managers, and other sensitive situations.

​

German Cockroach Control

German cockroach infestations can vary dramatically in severity.

County Pest adjusts treatment based on the population and conditions present rather than relying on a standardized bait-only program.

Treatment strategies may include:

  • Gel baiting

  • Monitoring

  • Insect growth regulators

  • Crack-and-crevice applications

  • Product rotation

  • Flushing agents

  • Physical vacuum removal

  • Full cleanout procedures

  • Targeted adulticides

 

More severe infestations may require aggressive population reduction followed by residual treatment and monitoring.

 

Mosquito & Tick Management

 

County Pest provides targeted mosquito and tick management designed around pest habitat.

 

Treatments focus on areas where mosquitoes and ticks are most likely to develop, rest, and travel rather than automatically treating every portion of a property.

County Pest considers:

  • Pets

  • Children

  • Pollinators

  • Flowering vegetation

  • Gardens

  • Wildlife activity

  • Shaded vegetation

  • Wooded edges

  • Other sensitive areas

 

The goal is to reduce pest pressure while avoiding unnecessary applications.

 

CleanStart Attic Insulation & Remediation

 

County Pest's CleanStart division provides pest- and wildlife-related attic remediation.

Services may include:

  • Contaminated insulation removal

  • Rodent dropping cleanup

  • Bat guano cleanup

  • Wildlife contamination removal

  • Sanitizing

  • Air sealing

  • Attic preparation

  • Replacement insulation installation

 

This allows County Pest to address both the original pest problem and the contamination or damage left behind.

 

Real Estate Pest & WDI Services

 

County Pest works with:

  • Real estate agents

  • Home inspectors

  • Buyers

  • Sellers

  • Property managers

  • Homeowners

 

Services include Wood-Destroying Insect inspections and reports, termite inspections, rapid reporting, treatment estimates, and fast treatment scheduling when pest activity is discovered during a real estate transaction.

 

County Pest's inspection-driven approach helps distinguish active problems from old evidence or conditions that do not require unnecessary treatment.

Customer Service Philosophy

 

County Pest is locally owned and operated.

 

We do not operate high-pressure residential door-to-door sales teams and do not require unnecessary long-term residential pest-control contracts.

 

Our technicians are expected to explain:

  • What they found

  • Why the pest is present

  • What treatment is recommended

  • Why that treatment makes sense

  • What the customer can do to reduce future activity

 

Our goal is to provide:

Solutions, not contracts.

 

Environmental Responsibility

 

County Pest believes effective pest management and environmental responsibility can work together.

 

Our Integrated Pest Management approach emphasizes:

  • Identification

  • Inspection

  • Targeted treatment

  • Monitoring

  • Habitat modification

  • Structural exclusion

  • Prevention

  • Responsible product selection

  • Avoiding unnecessary pesticide applications

 

County Pest also maintains local honey bee colonies and relocates honey bee colonies when appropriate.

 

Beneficial insects and pollinators are not automatically treated as pests simply because they are present outdoors.

​
