• Commercial Pest Control
  Dominion’s pest control is not limited to Lancaster and York area residential services! Our commercial pest control services are available to a huge variety of commercial facilities, from food production facilities to day cares, bakeries to professional offices and more, every company needs a commercial exterminator to keep their facility clean and safe for their employees.

Insects and Spiders

• Ants
  Ants: Ants are constantly foraging for nourishment and are particularly drawn to sugary substances. Once they find a viable food source, they leave a trail of pheromones to communicate the location to other colony members, leading to a swarm of ants invading your pantry.
• Spiders
  Dominion is receiving many calls this year for residents requesting help for spiders — inside and outside their homes! Most folks who report spider issues in Lancaster, York, and Central PA, seem to be bothered in spring, and again in the fall. This is when spiders try to enter homes looking for refuge from the falling temperatures.
• Termites
  Every year, termites cause millions of dollars’ worth of damage in Lancaster and York counties. Without proper termite control, these pests can destroy structural wood and make your home or business uninhabitable.
• Bed Bugs
  But how do you get rid of bed bugs? And how do you keep them away for good? We’ve broken down the process into 5 clear steps or “phases” of bed bug removal and prevention.
• Fleas
  Mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks... sometimes it seems they are all lining up to see how they can ruin your summertime cookouts, barbecues, or yard games. The challenge of eradicating lawn pests can seem never-ending in south central Pennsylvania and makes lawn pest control a priority for most homeowners in this area.
• Cockroaches
  Cockroaches: Cockroaches are scavengers and will consume a wide variety of food, including crumbs, spilled grains, sweets, and food residues. Pantries can provide an abundant and diverse food source for cockroaches to feed on.
• Bees
  Dominion can also treat your property for other wood-destroying insects such as carpenter ants, carpenter bees and wood boring beetles.
• Ticks
  Bed bugs present themselves as a general nuisance all over the world; in fact, they can be found in every country and on every continent except Antarctica! Bed bugs get their name through their nasty habit of feeding on human blood while we sleep in our beds, but they can be anywhere. They generally dislike the heat, so they don’t tend to linger on our skin or in our hair like lice or ticks. Instead, bed bugs like to hitch a ride from place to place on our clothing, shoes, backpacks, and luggage.
• Crickets
• Earwigs
• Mosquitoes
  Mosquitoes are the biggest culprit of all the patio and lawn pests, not just because of their nasty bites but also because of their role in spreading disease such as the Zika Virus or West Nile Virus. For a number of years now, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has conducted an active program for combatting West Nile Virus and targets specific areas for mosquito treatment each year.
• Flies
  What are those swarms of flies or gnats that hover around yards in the summertime, sometimes almost making a buzzing sound like bees?
• Centipedes
  Comprehensive General Pest Services: Our technicians provide all-encompassing solutions for common pests such as ants, cockroaches, rats, and centipedes. We employ cutting-edge techniques to guarantee long-term elimination as well as prevention.
• Millipedes
• Beetles
  Grain Beetles: Grain beetles, also known as pantry beetles or stored product pests, are attracted to pantry items such as grains, cereals, flour, pasta, and dried fruits. They lay eggs on these food items, and the larvae feed on them, causing contamination and spoilage.
• Hornets
  I wanted to take a moment to say thanks to Dominion Pest Control. After calling a minimum of 10 competitors (both local and national) because of a growing bee problem around a tree several feet from my front door, I was most impressed with the concern, honesty, and friendly phone service that was given by Dominion Pest Control. When I mentioned that I was allergic to bee’s, the owner himself said, “we have to make this customer a priority and get out to her home tomorrow to see what’s happening”. The initial cost was also the most competitive of all the other companies I spoke to.  None of the other businesses, including one that came to visit, identified correctly what the bee was.  Some even attempted to leverage my fears and tell me they were sure I had hornets.  When Dominion arrived the next day, he looked around the tree and told me that I had mud daubers and that they are not aggressive and that they were around the tree because they were feeding on it.  Also, he helped identify another insect issue we were having inside our home spending a great deal of time attempting to identify the source. I found them to be the most educated and educationally oriented company, the most professional, honest, dependable and the best price too. I have no problem unequivocally recommending this local company to anyone in need of their services.
• Moths
  Moths: Pantry moths, such as the Indian Meal Moth, lay eggs in dried fruits, nuts, grains, and a variety of other stored foods.
• Pantry Pests
  A clean pantry is your first defense against pantry pests. Vacuum shelves, corners, and wipe down surfaces with mild detergent regularly to eliminate attractions.
• Mites
• Springtails
• Gnats
  Believe it or not, these little pests are appropriately called lawn gnats, and although they are a major nuisance, they are actually harmless. They prefer hot and rainy weather, and you can expect them to develop in the damp soil rich in decaying plant material or around your composter.

Animal Control

• Bats
  For bat exclusions, we can utilize one-way doors that are placed over access points, allowing the bats to crawl down and out of the doors’ netting without being able to return. We also make sure that the pups are mature enough to fly and don’t get left behind; this way, the whole bat family stays together in search for a new, more conducive home. In some cases, homeowners may be encouraged to set up “bat boxes” that can provide shelter to keep these beneficial creatures outside where they can continue to hunt for food at night.
• Moles
  When people think of calling in the exterminator, they picture pests infiltrating their home and wreaking havoc. However, lawn pest control is important to protecting your home further and Dominion wants to help! Dominion’s lawn team will treat your yard for pests such as ants, mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, moles, voles and spotted lanternfly. We answer dozens of calls from Lancaster and York area residents daily; let us help you, too!
• Raccoons
  If you do successfully capture a wild animal, you face the decision of either killing or releasing it. Releasing animals like skunks and raccoons can be risky, as it carries the potential of being sprayed, scratched, or bitten.
• Snakes
  Dominion’s owner, Greg Pettis, decided to offer the Green Pest Control Program after encountering the new all-natural line of pesticides from Nature-Cide®. “We had tried ‘Green’ products in the past, only to be disappointed,” Pettis admits. “It took a lot to change my mind, and Nature-Cide® did it.” The company is using the all-natural line of products on pests such as spiders, centipedes, fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, ants, and more. “Products we are using on the perimeter from Nature-Cide® even repel mice, rats, and snakes. Nothing we have ever used before could do that.”
• Wildlife
  Many of our humane wildlife tactics fall under the principle of exclusion. Wildlife exclusion is an imperative part of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) process since it prevents critters from reentering your home. One of our primary exclusion techniques focuses on entry points. Deteriorated trim and fascia boards, gaps in foundation or siding, and loose or damaged attic vents all provide a possible means for animals to enter your home. Depending on the animal, we use caulk, expanding foam, hardware cloth, weather sweeps, or heavy-duty sealants like steel screens and vent covers to seal any suspect entryways.
• Opossums

Bird Control

• Birds
• Sparrows
• Pigeons

Rodent Control

• Rodents
  It’s also important to note that humans are not a bed bug’s only source of food; bed bugs can also feed on rodents, pets, and other animals that may be living in the house too. So even if humans aren’t around, if there are animals in the house that the bed bugs can feed on, they could end up surviving well beyond the expected 4.5 months.
• Mice
• Rats
  There are various pet-friendly yard sprays that will not harm your dogs or cats. If you are concerned about your application, we invite you to check out our Green Pest Control line of products called Nature-Cide that can be sprayed on the yard, but is also available in pre-mixed spray bottles that can be used on animals and around the home. The Nature-Cide product even works to repel mice, rats, and snakes.
• Squirrels
  Wildlife Removal Services: Dealing with larger pests like raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and birds requires a different approach. Our wildlife removal services are humane and effective, designed to safely remove these unwanted guests from your property and prevent future invasions.
• Voles
  Our most common lawn pest control services include mosquito spray and flea treatment for your yard to stop pests in their tracks.
• Chipmunks
