Why Choose Lawns Plants & Pests LLC

We're not a national chain. We're not a call center. The same person who answers your phone walks your property and does the work — real diagnostic decisions, real local expertise, no high-pressure sales scripts.

20+ Years Licensed in PA

Continuously licensed as a Pennsylvania pesticide applicator since 2005 — over two decades diagnosing properties across Central PA. Not a new franchise. Not a corporate trainee on rotation. You get the same licensed applicator on your property every visit.

One-Call Solution

Licensed for lawn, pest, plant, mosquito, wildlife, bees, agricultural, and aquatic — all under one license, one phone number, one person who knows your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you locally owned?
Yes. Lawns Plants & Pests LLC is locally owned and owner-operated. The same person who answers the phone walks your property and applies the treatments. No corporate dispatcher, no call center, no out-of-state ownership.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We are a licensed Pennsylvania pesticide applicator (8 categories including general, agricultural, and aquatic) and a Pennsylvania-certified Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator (NWCO). We carry full liability insurance for residential, commercial, and agricultural work. Licensed continuously since 2005.
Do I need a contract?
No. Every estimate is free with no obligation. Most services are billed per visit — cancel or skip any time. We don't run on the long-term contract model that national chains use.
Why does the "beekeeper" thing matter?
Because we're the rare licensed pesticide applicator who also depends on healthy pollinators for our other business. We choose products, timing, and application methods specifically to protect bees. If you have your own bees, a pollinator garden, or fruit trees, we're the right choice.
How quickly can you respond?
Routine work books a few days to a week out. For emergencies — active stinging insect nests, wildlife in living spaces, swarms during bee season — we prioritize same-day or next-day response when at all possible.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

"Called Devon and he came to set up the trap for the animal the next day. The animal was caught in less than 24 hrs. He is reliable and great!"

"I had a yellow jacket ground nest in my yard. With 2 active dogs, it was a time sensitive matter. I texted and within minutes he set an appointment for the next day. Texted ahead of arrival and was finished with the job in 10-15 minutes. All the work is guaranteed and if they come back he assured me he'd come back and take care of it. Great customer service. Will use again!"

"This team is absolutely incredible for our lawn care needs. Courteous and professional and they communicated incredibly well. The lawn always looks amazing and even showed resilience through this hot summer. I'd recommend this team to anyone in need of any service they provide!"

"Came out to look at yellow jackets in our soffit and talk through options for mosquitoes, black flies, and carpenter ants. Devon was refreshingly honest about what was worth paying for and what I could handle myself. No upsell, just clear guidance. I really appreciated the transparency and will use them again."

★★★★★

"Answered my call immediately and set a date for the next day to remove a hornet nest from a tree limb hanging over my driveway. He was prompt and took the nest from my property. Would highly recommend his services to others."
