Hours & Response Time

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.

Are you locally owned?

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.

Do I need a contract to get an estimate?

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.

Are you licensed and insured?

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.

Why does the "beekeeper" thing matter for lawn care or pest control?

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.

Do you offer organic options?

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.

How quickly can you respond?

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.
