Common Pest Problems in Central Pennsylvania

 Ant infestations are one of the most common pest problems in Central Pennsylvania homes. Ants often enter houses searching for food and moisture, especially during spring and summer months. 

 Spiders are commonly found in basements, garages, and corners of homes throughout Central Pennsylvania. While most spiders are harmless, large populations can indicate other insect activity nearby. 

 Mice and other rodents often enter homes during colder months in search of warmth and food. Small openings around foundations and utility lines can provide easy entry points. 

 Termites are destructive pests that feed on wood and structural materials. In Pennsylvania, termite swarmers are often seen in the spring when colonies begin expanding. 

 Stinging insects such as wasps and hornets frequently build nests around roofs, siding, and outdoor structures during the warmer months. 

 Fleas and ticks can become a serious problem for both pets and homeowners, especially in wooded or grassy areas common throughout Central Pennsylvania.
