Can You Control Stink Bugs?
February 28, 2011Q. Can you provide stink bug control?
A. The answer is yes! Stink bugs can be controlled by using perimeter spraying. The key to stink bug control is prevention.
The stink bugs were accidentally introduced to Allentown, PA. From there, they spread to many states, including NJ, MD, VA, and even as far as FL. People want to know if they are going to go away. That answer is no! And stink bug control is something that everyone is giong to need eventually if you live near crops of any kind. Think this is extreme? Since they arrived in 1998, they have spread like wildfire. In 2010, they ate 30% of the crops in PA according the PA Dept. of Ag. They are just getting started.
So let’s talk about stink bug control. If the stinkers are already in your home, you will need to have professional pest control products used. If you live in Lancaster or York PA, you may call Dominion Pest Control directly to have them service your home.

How Do I Kill Roaches?
April 25, 2009Q. How do I kill Roaches?
A. If you live in Lancaster or York PA, you will usually see one of about four species of roaches. We normally deal with American cockroaches, German Roaches, Brown Banded Roaches, and Oriental Roaches. Sometimes, we will even see a Wood Roach (Pennsylvania Wood Roach). To control them, it is important to use IGR’s. This stands for Insect Growth Regulator. By prohibitting roaches from multiplying, we use IGR’s, and stop the next generation. It is very difficult to stop them without using growth regulators. If you live in York or Lancaster PA, and need roach control, give us a call.

They will set up shop in your lawn, and seem to prefer the sides of a hill the most. In the late summer in York and Lancaster PA, they will emerge and hunt Cicadas, or locusts as we commonly call them here.
Why Do I Have Stink Bugs?
April 25, 2009Q. Why do I have stink bugs?
A. If you are seeing Stink Bugs, it is probably because there is a fruit tree or tomatoe plants nearby. That is what they live on. But more specifically, they are landing on your house so that they can sunbathe. They need the warmth in the worst way, and will do anything they can to get it. We have now been seeing Stink Bugs congregating around the back of big screen televisions just to get warm!

How Do I get Rid of Stink Bugs?
April 5, 2009Q. How do I get rid of Stink Bugs?
A. This is a great question. Chances are you will not stop them yourself–you are going to need help. Stink bugs will sun-bathe on the side of your house, then enter your home around the windows, doors air conditioners and chimneys.
First, seal up any cracks that you can find that lead to the inside of your home such as cracks around your dryer vent, outside faucet, etc. If this does not stop them from getting in, you will most likely need professional help.
When we treat for Stink Bugs, we powerspray and stop them from entering, and stop them from sun-bathing on the side of your home. This keeps them “dying at the door” before they get in. You can not stop them from landing, but you can stop them from entering with quarterly powersprays.
