Spotted Lanternfly comes to Lancaster
July 26, 2019
You probably have heard about the Spotted Lanternfly by now, and although beautiful to the eye, these insects are deadly to trees. Starting last year, the SLF was reported to be sighted in Lancaster County, in areas such as Ephrata, Lititz, Denver, and now in the greater areas surrounding Lancaster City. Dominion is no stranger to tackling new pests, in fact we were one of the first companies to go after the infamous ‘Stink Bug’, which wiped out a third of PA’s crops in 2010. We are currently offering treatment to trees and homes for the Spotted Lanternfly, so if you are seeing these creatures, please call our office today to reserve a ‘spot’ in our schedule for a treatment: 717-393-7879.

Dominion Pest Control Offers Wildlife Services
Lancaster, PA…..Locally owned Howard’s Exterminating Services (Manheim, PA) has decided to join Lancaster’s Dominion Pest Control, bringing wildlife management services to all of Dominion’s customers in Lancaster and York Counties. Dominion’s owner, Gregory Pettis–native of Lancaster, says the move will greatly increase the value of service that the local company provides. “We have been asked for years by our clients to remove pesky critters such as skunks, squirrels, raccoons, snakes, possums, bats and the like, but since we didn’t have the licensing or training, we turned those customers over to Howard’s. Jeremy Howard, local wildlife management expert and owner of Howard’s Exterminating, has 17 years experience in the pest control industry and has extensive knowledge on taking care of the area’s most difficult pests. He is looking forward to giving oversight to Dominion’s Management program and is excited about being a part of a team of technicians that have an average of fifteen years experience in General Pest Control in structures and yards to control indoor/outdoor insects and small rodents such as mice, rats and voles. “I think it will be fun to use the experience I have to help Dominion’s current clients and train their staff to be able to do what Howard’s does best,” Jeremy proudly exclaims. Dominion welcomes Howard’s customers and looks forward to providing them premier pest services.

Dominion Offers Green Pest Control!
July 15, 2015
Dominion’s Award Winning Team now offers ‘Green’ Pest Control, featuring Nature-Cide® all natural, non-toxic insecticide/pesticide.
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.” Pettis says 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.”
Dominion says some of the benefits include reduced application restrictions and runoff concerns. Another obvious application benefit is the great smell the new products offer, such as cedar, cinnamon and clove oil. “Everyone loves the smell, and I think our technicians are really enjoying not coming home smelling like chemicals at the end of the day.” Dominion also is offering the Nature-Cide® line of products in premixed spray bottles for fleas and ticks that can be used on animals, furniture, or flooring and an insect repellent spray great for ticks and mosquitoes.

DOMINATORS REALITY SHOW PRESS RELEASE
January 28, 2015FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Press Contact: Maria Pettis (717) 393-7879
DOMINATORS.TV — EDUCATIONAL LOCAL PEST REALITY SHOW ONLINE MARCH 1
(Lancaster, PA)…The area’s first informational pest reality show is out of the box. Dominators, a local reality show online at www.Dominators.TV, puts you in the front seat with local pest control technicians as they go into eye-opening situations such as spider-filled crawl spaces, termite-damaged properties, roach-infested and rodent-ridden occupancies! Dominators offers an informative approach, displaying real pest problems in the Lancaster and York areas. Area residents, realtors and rental property owners learn how to locate and identify pest issues that could potentially damage their properties. Gregory Pettis, owner of Dominion Pest Control, decided to let the viewers“get in the truck with them”, after seeing similar national programs that take the audience into situations they have never experienced before. “It amazes me that so many people find our occupation fascinating”, says Pettis, a long-time locally licensed pest control operator. “No day is the same in our industry, so we said, ‘Let’s allow folks ride with us to learn how we solve serious pest issues and enjoy the wild adventure!’”
Dominators, viewable online, features many different scenarios with episode titles such as Operation Termite Elimination, Roach Invasion, Stinging Invaders, and Stink Bug Standoff to name a few. While filming such episodes can be difficult, Pettis noted past experience filming a reality show helped. “A producer who is a friend of mine invited me to participate in filming a popular TV reality show”, Pettis stated. “I was impressed at the art of capturing real drama, making sure the camera and microphone were at the right place at the right time. It’s not like you can go back and say, ‘Do that again’. If you missed the action, it’s gone forever. It is an incredible task.” Pettis gives much credit to the filming success of Dominators to his previous experience working on a reality show.Pettis also stated a motive for filming Dominators was to let area residents know that most of the pest problems they are experiencing are common, although tackling the problem may not be the same. “Every situation is different,” Pettis admits, “‘a one-size-fits-all’ solution is not reality. This is why we let viewers watch us make treatment decisions only after thorough, sometimes dangerous, inspections,” he said.
