Pest Control in Scranton: What Local Homes Are Up Against

Scranton's housing is some of the oldest in NEPA — fieldstone foundations, balloon framing, and century-old rowhomes from Green Ridge to South Side. That means easy rodent entry points, damp basements that attract carpenter ants, and shared walls that let roaches and bed bugs move between units. Our technicians work these neighborhoods daily and know the construction quirks of each one.

Pest pressure in Scranton runs on a strict calendar. Spring sends carpenter ant swarmers out of damp porches and termite swarmers up after warm rains. Summer belongs to mosquitoes along the Lackawanna River and wasps under deck rails, while roach calls climb in downtown multi-unit buildings. October turns sun-warmed brick walls brown with stink bugs, and the first cold nights push mice into basements from Minooka to East Mountain. Winter is rodent season in earnest — and bed bug calls spike after holiday travel.

That mix is why our Scranton work leans on three programs. Rodent jobs are exclusion-first: we trap the active population, then seal the foundation and utility gaps that let the next one in. Bed bug cases are handled with whole-room heat treatment backed by our 2-year warranty — essential in the city's shared-wall apartment buildings, where an untreated neighboring unit can re-seed an infestation. And every spring we run termite inspections in older frame homes, where mud tubes along fieldstone foundations are a common find.
