Pennsylvania's Pest Control Experts Since 1986
L&L Pest Control has been protecting homes and businesses across Pennsylvania for nearly four decades. Founded in 1986 and headquartered at 191 Route 715 in Brodheadsville, we are a family-owned, locally operated pest control company — not a national franchise, not a call center. Our technicians live and work in the same communities they serve, and we treat every property as if it were our own. From year-round residences to Pocono vacation cabins and Airbnb rentals to Lehigh Valley commercial accounts, we understand the unique pest pressures of Pennsylvania's mountains and valleys.
39+ Years of Protecting Pennsylvania Families
When Larry and Linda started L&L Pest Control in 1986, the Pocono Mountains were a different place — fewer vacation rentals, smaller communities, and different pest pressures. But one thing has never changed: Pennsylvania families deserve an exterminator they can trust, who shows up on time, does the job right, and stands behind their work.
Today, L&L Pest Control serves six counties — Monroe, Pike, Wayne, and Carbon in the Pocono Mountains, plus Lehigh and Northampton in the Lehigh Valley — covering over 120 towns and communities. We have grown because our customers refer us to their neighbors, their property managers, and their families. That trust is something we take seriously every single day.
What Makes Us Different
- Genuinely local — since 1986: Our headquarters is in Brodheadsville in the heart of Monroe County. Our technicians know the Pocono pest calendar — the spring carpenter ant swarms in wooded cabins, the summer mosquito season on the lake, the fall stink bug invasion, the winter rodent migrations into warm basements. This isn't textbook knowledge. It's 39 years of experience in these exact communities.
- Vacation rental and STR expertise: We work with dozens of Airbnb hosts, VRBO owners, and short-term rental property managers across the Poconos. We understand the urgency of guest turnovers, the importance of protecting your reviews, and the need for discreet, fast service between bookings. Services starting at $125 | Initial service visits starting at $175.
- Termite and WDO inspections: We are licensed to perform termite and wood-destroying organism (WDO) inspections for real estate transactions and homeowners across Pennsylvania. If you are buying or selling a home in Monroe, Pike, Wayne, Carbon, Lehigh, or Northampton County, we can complete the required inspection quickly and accurately.
- Spotted Lanternfly certified: As a PA-certified applicator for spotted lanternfly, we help homeowners and property managers protect their trees, gardens, and outdoor spaces from Pennsylvania's most damaging invasive pest.
- Family-friendly treatments: Every product and method we use is selected with your family in mind. We use EPA-approved materials and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques — effective against pests, low-impact for your household. We always explain exactly what we are using and when it is clear to re-enter.
- Rest Easy Pest Control Partner: L&L Pest Control is a proud partner of Rest Easy Pest Control, a nationwide network of trusted exterminators. This partnership means access to advanced training, the latest treatment protocols, and resources that independent operators simply don't have — while staying locally owned and operated.
- Same-day service available: When pests can't wait, we move fast. Call (570) 992-3487 and our team will do everything possible to get a technician out the same day.
- 24/7 emergency line: Pest emergencies don't wait for business hours. Our emergency line is available around the clock for urgent situations.

Serving the Pocono Mountains and Lehigh Valley
We serve six Pennsylvania counties from our Brodheadsville base. In the Pocono Mountains: Monroe County (our home county, including Stroudsburg, East Stroudsburg, Mount Pocono, Tannersville, Tobyhanna, and the lake communities), Pike County (Milford, Bushkill, Hemlock Farms, Saw Creek Estates), Wayne County (Honesdale, Hawley, Lake Ariel), and Carbon County (Jim Thorpe, Lehighton, Albrightsville, Towamensing Trails).
In the Lehigh Valley, we serve Lehigh County (Allentown, Emmaus, Whitehall, Macungie) and Northampton County (Bethlehem, Easton, Nazareth, Bangor). Whether you are in a mountain cabin, a lakefront community, a suburban neighborhood, or a commercial property along Route 22, we are just a phone call away.
Our Commitment to Pennsylvania
We have watched the Pocono Mountains and Lehigh Valley change enormously over 39 years — more vacation rentals, more development, new invasive pests like the spotted lanternfly, and evolving pest management science. Through all of it, our commitment has stayed the same: provide honest, effective, family-friendly pest control that Pennsylvania families and businesses can count on.
We are not the cheapest option and we are not the most expensive. We are the right choice for homeowners and property managers who want the job done correctly the first time, by a company that has been earning trust in these communities since 1986.
