Luzerne County Expert Pest Control
Luzerne County is one of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s oldest and geographically diverse regions, stretching from the Wyoming Valley’s urban centers to the wooded hills of Back Mountain and the rural communities of the southern coal fields.
Formed in 1786 and shaped by the rise of anthracite mining, railroads, and the Susquehanna River, Luzerne County’s towns grew around steep ridgelines, mill villages, coal breakers, and later, post-war suburban development.
Today, the county is a mix of century-old rowhomes in Wilkes-Barre and Nanticoke, mining-era duplexes in Hanover and Plymouth, lakeside properties in Harveys Lake and Shickshinny, historic homes in Pittston and Hazleton, and newer housing expansions throughout Mountain Top and Wright Township. Many of these structures were built long before modern pest-prevention standards, leaving gaps, aging foundations, and porous materials that pests easily exploit.
The Susquehanna River floodplain also drives heavy moisture and subsequent insect activity. Dense forests in Back Mountain and Bear Creek increase wildlife and rodent migration, while older mining towns with abandoned tunnels see persistent rodent movement. Warm summers, cold winters, and high humidity create ideal conditions for cockroaches, termites, ants, rodents, bats, and other nuisance pests.

Pests Can Infest Any Property in Luzerne County
Luzerne County experiences some of the most consistent pest activity in NEPA due to its aging housing, abandoned mine workings, riverfront moisture, and thick woodlands surrounding most suburbs. Whether you live in a historic home in Pittston, an apartment in Wilkes-Barre, or a mountainside property near Mountain Top, pests find their way inside through structural vulnerabilities and seasonal shifts.
Common pest pressures across Luzerne County include:
- Rodents nesting in old coal tunnels, basements, garages, and rowhome walls
- Cockroach activity in densely populated and rental-heavy neighborhoods
- Termite and carpenter ant damage in older wood-frame and post-mining homes
- Bat activity in attics, barns, soffits, and aging roofing structures
- Bed bugs spreading in apartments, college housing, hotels, and short-term rentals
- Moisture and humidity attracting ants, spiders, and silverfish, especially near the river basin
DIY products rarely solve these issues long-term and often fail to address the underlying cause. Many pests, especially termites, rodents, and bed bugs, spread faster than homeowners can react, leading to recurring infestations, property damage, and rising costs.
You deserve a safer, more reliable solution.
