Call PestGuardians in Pennsylvania to discuss flea and tick control, addressing the nation's highest annual Lyme disease case count, across all 50 cities we cover statewide.
Call (844) 924-1337What happens when a tick species goes from nearly absent to dominant in under half a century? Pennsylvania has the answer. The state has recorded the highest number of Lyme disease cases in the country every single year since 2000, and Penn State researchers, drawing on more than a century of tick collection data, have traced that trend directly to the blacklegged tick, a species that was nearly absent from Pennsylvania as recently as the 1960s and is now its dominant tick.
That expansion is why tick control now stands as its own distinct concern in Pennsylvania rather than something tacked onto a routine flea visit. The blacklegged tick is the only species in the state capable of transmitting the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, and its spread has been tracked closely enough that Penn State Extension treats tick borne disease as a standing seasonal topic every spring. Flea problems in Pennsylvania homes stay fairly ordinary and pet driven by comparison, but the tick side of this service carries some of the most specific, sustained public health data behind any pest category in the state. Call (844) 924-1337 for flea & tick control questions and availability in your part of Pennsylvania.
We haven't yet built individual city pages pairing Flea & Tick Control with a specific Pennsylvania city, the way we have for a few other states, so there's no per-city detail to report honestly in this section right now. What you read above is real, Pennsylvania-specific research, drawn from the actual conditions that drive demand statewide, not a generic description recycled from another state's page, but it isn't broken down city by city yet.
Call with your city to discuss the pest concern and check local service availability.
As city-level Flea & Tick Control pages go live for Pennsylvania, this section will update to reflect genuine local details the same way it already does for some other states. We'd rather tell you that plainly than invent a city-by-city breakdown that doesn't exist yet.

Call (844) 924-1337Flea & Tick Control falls under Pennsylvania's Category 7B, General Pest Control, one of several commercial and public applicator categories the Department of Agriculture recognizes under the state's 1973 Pesticide Control Act, covering everything from roaches and ants to bees, ticks, fleas, rodents, and other vertebrate pests across residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional sites. Reaching that certification means clearing a core exam plus the category specific exam, and working for a business that holds its own separate Pesticide Application Business License, a credential requiring at least one certified applicator on payroll along with proof of financial responsibility. Termite and other wood destroying pest work sits in an entirely different category, 7A, licensed apart from general pest work rather than folded into it. For the full explanation of how Pennsylvania's licensing works, see our Pennsylvania coverage page.
Call anyway; we maintain coverage that is not always reflected yet in every city page.
Significantly. More than a century of Penn State tick collection data shows the blacklegged tick, nearly absent from the state as recently as the 1960s, is now Pennsylvania's dominant tick species, and it's the only one capable of transmitting Lyme disease.
It's worth asking. Pennsylvania requires Category 7B, General Pest Control certification through the Department of Agriculture, plus a separate Pesticide Application Business License for the company itself, backed by proof of financial responsibility and at least one certified applicator on staff. Before booking, ask which credentials apply to the proposed work and how to confirm them with the issuing authority.
No. Pricing varies by city, the specifics of the job, and whether you need a one-time visit or an ongoing plan. Ask about the proposed scope and costs before deciding to book. Call to discuss the work needed and request a quote for your property.
