Exterminators

Bensalem Township, PA, was established in 1692 on the shores of the Delaware River. It is one of the oldest municipalities in the state, being founded just after the foundation of the Pennsylvania Colony. Bensalem is well known for its historic 17th and 18th-century riverfront mansions. It is rumored that Benjamin Franklin performed his famous electrical kite-flying electricity experiment in the yard of Growden Mansion. It is the most populous town in Bucks County and the tenth in the entire state.  In recent years, Bensalem has become a popular location for shopping and tourism due to being the home of the Parx Casino and Racetrack and the Neshaminy Mall. Bensalem is also home to Neshaminy State Park.  Due to its proximity to Philaelphia, Bensalem is served by the SEPTA regional train line and offers transportation straight into the city’s heart.

Between Bensalem’s busy population and proximity to the park and river, it is, unfortunately, home to a wide variety of pests. Most home and business owners need pest control because of the potential harm that uninvited pests may do to structures, plants, and local wildlife. There are numerous ways to safeguard your home or place of business against various pests, such as termites and ants. Proper Pest Control for homes or businesses requires extensive knowledge of pests, where they are active, and their patterns of activity. You have to take precautions to prevent infestations and identify efficient treatments.

Spotted Lanternflies

Viking Pest control has spent a great deal of time studying spotted lanternflies and creating sustainable and successful treatments for this invasive pest, including “knockdown” surface treatments and application of basal tree spray in late summer after the trees have finished flowering. The spotted lantern fly treatments are carefully formulated and scheduled to avoid injuring wildlife that is not the product’s primary target, such as honeybees and birds. Although several DIY solutions are available, they are not recommended for spotted lantern fly management. Some of these techniques can potentially harm local wildlife, plant life, and the environment as a whole.

Termites

Any wooden building or structure has a risk of falling prey to termites. Termites are especially dangerous to buildings and structures with wooden foundations. Wood is rich in the cellulose that termites need to survive and thrive. While invisible most of the year, Termite swarmers can be seen in the spring and summer in enormous numbers. If left untreated, a termite infestation in your Bensalem, PA, home, or business could result in the need for expensive repairs.

Viking Pest employs Termite Bait Stations to eradicate infestations at your Bensalem, PA business or residence. This bait is more attractive to termites than the wood typically found in man-made structures. Once infected, one termite can pass the bait along to other termites, eventually infecting and subsequently eliminating the queen and the entire colony.

Rodents

Rodents are among the most clever and frustrating of pests. They can leave a wide variety of damage, stains, and smells throughout your home and business and be potential carriers of various diseases. They can enter your home through the tiniest of openings and are very good at hiding in floors, ceilings, and walls.

Viking is a leader in mice and rat control thanks to the innovative SMART rodent control system, which is available for both homes and businesses. This product tracks rodent activity when it occurs, allowing Viking to effectively predict and manage rodent infestations before they get out of hand.
