The Pest Rangers

What The Pest Rangers does

The Pest Rangers is a family-owned pest control company headquartered in Hanover Township, Pennsylvania, providing integrated pest management (IPM) services to residential and commercial customers across Eastern Pennsylvania and South New Jersey. The company operates seven physical offices covering Northeast PA, Southeast PA, Lehigh Valley, the Poconos, and South New Jersey, dispatching uniformed GPS-routed field technicians for on-site service delivery. Its technology stack is built around specialized treatment methods — perimeter barrier treatments, gel baiting systems, industrial heat remediation, K-9 bed bug detection (97% accuracy), and the Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination System — rather than software platforms; commercial customers additionally access an eConnect web portal for compliance documentation and real-time alerts.

The company monetizes through tiered recurring residential subscriptions and one-time services. Home Protection Plans are priced at $37-$75/month depending on geography and tier (Basic, Plus+ with bed bug coverage, Premier with active termite protection), with quarterly service cadence and free inter-visit re-treatments. One-time services include heat remediation starting at $1,500, cockroach initial treatments at $395-$795, and seasonal mosquito/tick barrier sprays. Commercial revenue comes from customized IPM programs for restaurants, food processing facilities (with FSMA/PCQI compliance support and third-party audit handling for BRC, SQF, AIB, NSF), healthcare, education, manufacturing, hospitality, and real estate inspection (WDIR reports).

The Pest Rangers was founded in 2008, is led by President Jeff King, who serves on the National Pest Management Association Board of Directors, and has accumulated over 4,000 five-star Google reviews across its service areas. The company competes on family-owned local positioning, industry certifications (GreenPro, QualityPro), and specialized capabilities like K-9 bed bug detection and authorized Sentricon termite treatment against national chains and other regional operators in its geographic footprint.
