Lawns Plants & Pests LLC is a locally owned, family-run, full-service property care company serving Harrisburg, Hershey, Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, and the surrounding Dauphin, Cumberland, Lebanon, Perry, and York County communities. We provide lawn fertilization and weed control (traditional and fully organic programs), tree and shrub plant health care, residential and commercial pest control, mosquito and tick treatments, humane honey bee removal, nuisance wildlife control, agricultural pest management, and pond and aquatic weed control. We're a licensed Pennsylvania pesticide applicator and a Pennsylvania-certified Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator (NWCO). Free estimates. Call or text 717-379-3248.
Phone & Text: 7 days a week, day and evening. Text us photos of pests, lawn issues, or wildlife concerns — we identify free.
Service Visits: Monday through Saturday by appointment. Most routine work books a few days to a week out.
Emergency Response: For active stinging insect nests near doors or play areas, wildlife in living spaces, or other property emergencies, we prioritize same-day or next-day response when at all possible. Call or text and we'll let you know our earliest availability honestly.
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 — that means real diagnostic decisions, real local expertise, and no high-pressure sales scripts. Three things set us apart from the TruGreens, Aptives, and Orkins of the world:
We're working beekeepers. That changes how we treat your trees, your lawn, and your mosquitoes. Soil drenches over foliar sprays where possible, applications timed around bloom, and product choices that protect pollinators. If you have backyard bees, fruit trees, or a pollinator garden, this matters.
We offer a fully organic lawn program. Not "natural-sounding" marketing — a real OMRI-listed, synthetic-free program for clients who want a chemical-free lawn. Almost no other lawn care company in Central PA offers this.
We're a one-call solution for property pest issues. Most companies do one thing — pest control, or lawn care, or wildlife. We're licensed for all of it. Lawn, pest, plant, mosquito, wildlife, bees, agricultural, and aquatic — all under one license, one phone number, one person who knows your property.
Lawn fertilization, weed control, crabgrass pre-emergent, core aeration, overseeding, soil testing, and lawn renovation. Both traditional and fully organic treatment programs available. No long-term contracts. Learn more about Lawn Care.
Residential and commercial pest control — ants, spiders, yellow jackets, hornets, wasps, fly remediation, and seasonal prevention programs. Family-owned, locally licensed. Learn more about Pest Control.
Yellow jackets, bald-faced hornets, paper wasps, European hornets, cicada killers, and carpenter bees — identification, treatment, and nest removal. Same-week response on active nests in high-traffic areas. Learn more about Stinging Insects.
Yard barrier treatments, In2Care mosquito stations, EcoGuard Plus fully organic applications, breeding-site reduction, and seasonal mosquito and tick programs to protect your family from Lyme disease and West Nile virus. Bee-safe options available. Learn more about Mosquito & Tick Control.
Insect and disease control for ornamental trees and shrubs, soil-applied systemic treatments, root zone fertilization, dormant oil, and spotted lanternfly management. Pollinator-aware approach. Learn more about Plant Health Care.
Live honey bee removal and relocation in coordination with our partner apiary, The Alleman Apiary. Bees relocated to working hives, never exterminated. Learn more about Honey Bee Removal.
Pennsylvania-licensed NWCO services for raccoons, groundhogs, squirrels, skunks, opossums, bats, and snakes. Trapping, removal, exclusion, and dead animal removal. Learn more about Nuisance Wildlife.
Pollinator-focused property work — pollinator-friendly lawn programs, native plant guidance, pesticide audits, and pollinator strip installation. Property-level changes that support both managed and native pollinators long-term. We're the only Central PA pest control company that also runs a working apiary. Learn more about Pollinator Restoration.
Fly control for cattle, poultry mite and louse treatments, sheep and goat parasite control, and varroa mite management for honey bees. Working with farms and apiaries throughout Central PA. Learn more about Agricultural Pest Service.
Pond weed control, algae management, and mosquito larvae treatments for residential ponds, farm ponds, and water features. Licensed aquatic applicator with PA DEP permitting handled when required. Learn more about Aquatic Service.

Yes. Lawns Plants & Pests LLC is a locally owned, family-run business based in Central Pennsylvania. The same person who answers the phone walks your property and applies the treatments. No corporate dispatcher, no scripted call center, no out-of-state ownership.
No. Every estimate is free with no obligation. Most of our services are billed per visit, so you can cancel or skip any time. We don't run on the long-term contract model that national chains use.
Yes. We're a licensed Pennsylvania pesticide applicator (with general, agricultural, and aquatic categories) and a Pennsylvania-certified Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator (NWCO). We carry full liability insurance for residential, commercial, and agricultural work.
Because we're the rare licensed pesticide applicator who also depends on healthy pollinators for our other business. That changes how we choose products, when we apply them, and where we spray. Soil drenches before foliar sprays. Treatments timed around bloom on flowering plants. Mosquito systems like In2Care that target mosquitoes specifically. If you have your own bees, a pollinator garden, or just don't want to harm what's flying around your property, we're the right choice.
Yes — and our fully organic lawn care program is one of the only real organic-only lawn programs available in Central PA. We also offer reduced-risk and organic-compatible product options for plant health care, mosquito and tick control, and agricultural work. Ask about it on your estimate.
For routine work (lawn care, plant health care, scheduled pest control), we book 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.
