Utilities, permits and licensing
Pest control businesses and applicators in Pennsylvania are licensed by the Department of Agriculture. Renters should report pests to the landlord in writing, since many local codes make treatment the owner's responsibility. Neighbors often share the same pests, so a building-wide or block-wide approach can work better than treating one unit alone.
The local picture in Pittsburgh
Canton Avenue in Beechview, with a 37 percent grade, is billed as the steepest public street in the country. Winters bring regular freezes, and freeze-thaw cycles are hard on masonry and steps.
The city sits where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers meet to form the Ohio. Building-wide treatment often works better than single units for pests in multifamily buildings.
Mice head indoors in the fall as temperatures drop, and calls spike from October through winter. Lawrenceville and Polish Hill are packed with brick row houses built for mill and factory workers.
A little prep helps
Keep a sample or a clear photo of the pest in a sealed bag if you can.

What people ask us
Is my neighborhood in Pittsburgh covered?
Pros we work with cover Pittsburgh neighborhoods such as Polish Hill, Brookline, Shadyside and Greenfield, in ZIP codes 15201, 15203, 15204, 15206, 15207 and others. Availability changes day to day, and we will be upfront if nobody can take the job.
Are ants in the kitchen a big deal?
Usually not dangerous, but they can be persistent. Clean up crumbs and seal entry points. If you keep seeing trails after cleaning, follow them back to the entry point and point it out to the tech.
What are signs of termites?
Mud tubes on foundations, discarded wings and hollow-sounding wood are common signs. Swarms of winged insects near windows in spring are another sign. If you find any of these, call before the damage spreads.
What info helps the company?
Describe the pest, where you see it, how long it has been there and any photos. Photos of droppings or the insects themselves help the company identify what they are dealing with before they arrive.
If you are not sure which trade fits your problem, call anyway and describe it. We will tell you if it sounds like a job for someone else.
