Why Milford Has a Pest Problem
Milford Borough sits on a bluff above the Delaware River in the heart of Pike County — one of Pennsylvania’s most forested and wildlife-rich counties. The combination of mature hardwood forest, Delaware River floodplain, abundant wetlands, and a housing stock dating back to the 1800s creates some of the most complex pest pressure in the Pocono region.
Carpenter ants are the defining pest of Milford. Pike County’s near-total forest cover means carpenter ant colonies are never far from any structure. Older homes along Broad Street, Harford Street, and the historic district are particularly vulnerable — aging wood trim, moisture issues, and mature shade trees all provide ideal foraging and nesting conditions.
Wildlife intrusions are a constant reality in Milford. Raccoons nest in chimneys and attic spaces. Squirrels chew through soffits and fascia. Groundhogs excavate under decks and foundations. Skunks take up residence under porches. With Pennsylvania State Forest and the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area directly adjacent, wildlife pressure in Milford never fully subsides.
Spotted lanternfly has established itself throughout Pike County and is now a serious concern in Milford, particularly for homeowners with tree-of-heaven on or near their property. The insect’s proximity to the Delaware River corridor means pressure arrives from both the Pennsylvania and New Jersey sides.
L&L Pest Control has been treating Pike County homes and businesses since 1986 — long before the Poconos became the destination it is today. Our technicians know Milford street by street.
