Pest Control in Paoli, PA

Paoli is a census designated place rather than a borough, and it sits in portions of two townships, Tredyffrin and Willistown. Both townships are inside Chester County, so Paoli has no borough government of its own to call about a pest problem. Tell us your street when you call, and we will note which township you are in before a technician is scheduled.

Penn State Extension reports that swarms of winged termites in Pennsylvania usually emerge between February and June. The same guidance notes that termite damage is rarely sudden and usually shows up ten years or more after construction. If you see winged insects indoors, or earth colored tubes running up a foundation wall, keep a few and call the Paoli office. Penn State Extension recommends that a professional pest control operator inspect the building, and it advises homeowners not to treat their own homes.

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection states that Pennsylvania ranks number one in the country for reported Lyme disease cases. That agency reports that adult blacklegged ticks use forest edge habitat and understory vegetation, while the nymphs and larvae are found in leaf litter. It also reports that most Lyme transmission happens in June and July, because of the activity and the small size of the nymphs. You have that habitat at Airdrie Forest Preserve in Tredyffrin Township, roughly seventy five acres of mature forest with three small streams.

We list spotted lanternfly control among our services, and Chester County is inside the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture spotted lanternfly quarantine. That order prohibits moving any living stage of the insect and regulates articles that may harbor it, including firewood of any species, logs and tree parts, nursery stock, landscaping and construction waste, and outdoor household articles. The department asks residents to scrape and squash egg masses, and it counts each mass as thirty to fifty insects that will not hatch in May. Call the Paoli office if adults are massing on your trees or on the stone walls around your property.
