Why Do I Keep Getting Stink Bugs?
February 20, 2008Q. I have these bugs that are getting into my house…they are brown, have a back that looks like a shield. I have never seen them before; can you tell me what they are and where they are coming from?
A. If they just started to show up in the past year or so, they are most likely stink bugs. And if they are stink bugs, they are coming from Allentown, PA. Within the past decade, stink bugs were imported to the US and ended up in Allentown. They have now spread to more than a dozen counties here in PA. For control: Quarterly Powerspraying is the most effective way to stop stink bugs from entering a structure. We offer several other plans that include Powerspraying as a great way to stop many other insects such as centipedes, spiders, boxelder beetles, and ants from entering your home.

How to Kill Termites
April 5, 2009Q. How do I kill termites?
A. If you need a termite treatment, you may not want to wait too long before calling us—termites do quite a bit damage quickly. This is your home we are talking about, one of your greatest investments literally being eaten!
In Lancaster and York, PA, it is important to use a non-repellent insecticide on termites so they do not move down the road to the neighbors, but instead, die right where they are. Using technology that allows the termites to transfer the product one to another, we can shut down a termite colony with one-million members within three months! Not only will Dominion Pest Control kill the current termites attacking your home, our treatment will kill any other termite colony that comes in contact with the treatment for over one decade! Now that’s taking control!
How Do I get Rid of Stink Bugs?
Q. 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.
Can Termites Go Away On Their Own?
March 8, 2009Q. Can termites go away on their own after they have invaded a home or business?
A. Yes, they can go away on their own. Why is it a scary answer? Because you never know when they are going to come back! Without a termite treatment, there is no way of knowing when a healthy termite colony will return to re-infest a structure. “What made them go away in the first place?”, is a better question. One thing I know, is that waiting without doing a single thing to stop that colony is like playing Russian Roulette with your home. Over the years, I have seen people eager to sell a home, force a pest control company who is providing a Wood Destroying Insect inspection, give a green light to a house that once had termites, without evidence of a treatment. And, I have heard the horror stories of lawsuits after settlement when the termites decide to return. Even though we agree that they may go away on their own, more should know that termites may come back on their own, with a vengeance!
