Ehrlich Pest Control was founded in 1928 in Reading, Pennsylvania by Julius C. Ehrlich. Mr. Ehrlich was a salesman who sold insecticides and fogging equipment. At this time, pest control was very much a do-it-yourself venture. When one of his customers, a department store, had no one who could apply the materials, Mr. Ehrlich offered to do it for them - a novel idea at that time.

With that gesture in 1928, Mr. Ehrlich established his new service company using the principles that still guide Ehrlich today: initiative, ingenuity and exceeding customer expectations. In these early days, the service team consisted of Mr. Ehrlich, his wife and daughter, who placed rat bait in small pieces of bread.

Spiders

Report

There are over 40,000 species of spiders worldwide, with approximately 3,700 of those species occurring in North America. While they do not spread disease and will eat other harmful pests, spiders are considered a nuisance pest in homes and businesses. Spiders often evoke more psychological damage than physical.

Ants

Report

Ants can be a particular nuisance when they get into your home. Garden or Black House ants aren't thought to carry diseases, but the trouble is you don't know where they've been foraging outside, so you won't want them marching through your food cupboards.

Cockroaches

Report

If you live near an urban area or store food anywhere on your property then your property could be vulnerable to cockroaches. They have been around for a very long time and are known for their ability to adapt and survive. Cockroaches are considered pests and if you see just one there's a good chance you have more hidden away somewhere.

Bed Bugs

Report

Bed bugs are everywhere, across the planet and all up and down the East Coast from New York to Florida. In fact, Antarctica is the only continent on the planet where the parasitic pests are not present. In the United States, bed bugs are on the rise. Bed bugs are insects of the cimcid family. They are small, brown-colored creatures that feast on blood.

Termites

Report

Termites are widely regarded as a damaging pest to have in your home or business. Termites (sometimes known as 'white ants') can cause extensive damage to the structure of a building if they are not inspected, managed or treated by qualified termite control professionals. Termites will feed on wood 24 hours-a-day. That means a termite infestation can quickly turn into a major problem.
