Residential Pest Control
Our residential pest control eliminates common household pests like ants, spiders, and rodents through perimeter treatments and targeted interventions. Certified technicians use odorless, non-staining materials for exterior and interior applications. Flexible options include one-time treatments or scheduled plans (semi-annual, seasonal, or three-season) to maintain year-round protection for Indiana County homeowners.
Commercial Pest Control
Tailored commercial pest management services protect restaurants, offices, and industrial facilities from infestations. Our integrated pest management (IPM) approach combines preventive treatments, rodent control, and emergency response. With monthly service plans and customized protocols since 1974, we ensure compliance with health regulations while minimizing business disruptions through after-hours treatments when needed.
Wildlife Removal
Licensed nuisance wildlife control services address skunks, raccoons, groundhogs, and other pests through humane trapping and exclusion methods. Our PA Game Commission-certified technicians perform site surveys and implement long-term solutions to prevent re-entry. Emergency services available for urgent wildlife intrusions in residential and commercial properties across Indiana County.
Termite Inspections
Professional termite inspections identify infestations and structural vulnerabilities using industry-standard protocols. Our WDI (Wood Destroying Insect) inspections include detailed reports for real estate transactions and treatment recommendations. Preventive measures combine chemical barriers and ongoing monitoring to protect properties from costly termite damage in western Pennsylvania.
Entomology Consulting
Certified entomology consulting services address complex pest issues in healthcare facilities, universities, and industrial sites. Our Associate Certified Entomologist conducts on-site investigations, develops IPM strategies, and provides educational presentations.

I'm a long-time customer of Environmental Pest Management and could never be happier with the result of their work! These guys are truly the best. The workers are always friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. If all businesses had an employee like Diane to talk to, the world would be a better place! The services I've had them provide so far are annual wasp/carpenter bee sprays. Couldn't be happier with the result and price! I'd recommend Environmental Pest Management for any and all pest control needs! :-

We've used EPM for years helping with ants that come into the house in the winter months. We've been lucky to have Josh come each time we have called them. Josh know the house and already knew what needed to be done. He's a total professional. Great knowledge of his trade. Great customer service skills. Plus they were able to get Josh to us the next day after we called. I could not recommend EPM more highly. Thank you again for your help.

Always first rate. I recommend these guys highly. Josh has taken care of us a few times over the years. One trip each winter for the last couple of years has solved the problem. Thank you again!

I called and they made time that day. Took care of our pest problem with 1 visit. Very knowledgeable and professional. They explained what would happen and if what was done didn't remedy the issue to call in but assured us it would be taken care of by the next morning. It was taken care of that evening.
