Dominion came onto the scene in 2006, when Gregory Pettis decided to go out on his own after serving the pest management industry for over a decade. Shortly after, other seasoned pest technicians came over to Dominion; now the largest and most experienced local team in Lancaster’s pest industry.
Not only is Dominion’s team excellent in managing pests, they offer lawn care services to all of Lancaster and York. Combining these two services, Dominion has grown into an organization that can control things that other management companies can not, such as fleas in lawns, moles and voles.
Owner Gregory Pettis founded Dominion with a desire to shut down pests that other pest management companies were afraid to tackle such as stink bugs and bed bugs in Lancaster PA. With a staff of over fifteen employees in less than ten years, Dominion has dominated pests in the area and is looking to expand again in 2013. “We are just blown away by the response from our current clientele”, Pettis states. We simply offered a superior product to our customers, and they in turn told their friends, family, neighbors and co-workers. Frankly, we have had a tough time keeping up. One of the challenges is making sure that everyone is on the same the page, and quality always goes up,” he continues. Greg produced the video below in 2006 with WGAL Channel 8 in Lancaster.
Since then, Dominion has been featured in Lancaster Newspapers, York Daily Record, and Fox 43. Below is another segment from a story about stink bugs where Dominion’s senior technician was recorded by Lancaster Newspapers.
In 2009, Lancaster’s favorite pest management team launced “Dominators”, a reality show were Dominion’s techs allowed cameras to follow them into the difficult situations they get into on a daily basis. Lancaster Newspapers awarded the show with a two page story, while YDR asked the cast to film another episode so their cameras could follow them for an online story titled “Exterminating Bugs, Stereotypes with Reality Show”. Below is there video story that accompanied the newspaper online.

About Dominion Pest Control: In 2006, Gregory Pettis founded Dominion after serving the pest control industry for more than a decade. In only his second year, he was full-time, and shortly after, one by one, experienced pest control technicians came to Dominion for his cutting edge style and technique in controlling Lancaster’s pests. Dominion quickly gained popularity by going against the trend in 2010 when they proclaimed that they had the answer to the stink bug crisis. Amazingly, homeowners asked Dominion to put lawn signs in their lawns that proclaimed they were stink bug free. This happened all over Lancaster and York Counties, and curious neighbors and folks passing by soon called to inquire about their own battle with stink bugs. So this Domino effect put Dominion into high gear, finding experienced pest control technicians that were willing to learn Dominion’s technique in stink bug elimination. With close to twenty employees, Dominion now services not only Lancaster County, but all of York County, and now offers local lawn care as well.
In addition to being a member of BBB since it’s inception, Dominion received the “Super Service Award” from Angie’s List in 2012.

Bed bugs in Lancaster showed up in 2005, and are now a common pest. Not only did it catch Lancaster by surprise, the epidemic caught America of guard. Since then, Dominion techs have been perfecting treatments, so residents can get rid of the bed bugs and go back to living. Using a chemical application, Dominion Pest Control minimizes the possibility that bed bugs can escape or hide during a “heat treatment” that some of the national companies have chosen to use. In fact, Dominion regularly gets called in to re-treat after another pest control company’s treatment failed.
When getting rid of bed bugs, it is important to seek, destroy, and prevent. What this means is our bed bug technicians thoroughly examine each part of a room, kill all live visible bed bugs, and introduce an insect growth regulator to prevent re-infestations. Using this technique, Dominion has 1000% batting average in bed bug control. All we ask is that treatment recipients follow the Getting Rid of Bed Bug Prep Sheet. After following the prep sheet, in combination with our treatments, expect to be bed bug free!

WGAL Stink Bug Story
Brian Roche
In February, WGAL featured a stink bug story with Dominion Pest Control owner, Gregory Pettis, listing 3 things you can do to get rid stink bugs right now.
WGAL’s Brian Roche started the story, “They’re back…so today News 8 went to an expert to find out 3 things you can do right now to battle the stink bug invasion.”
During the interview, Dominion’s owner commented: “If folks are having a problem with stink bugs, and it’s ongoing, and they would like professional help, we would be glad to help them out. What we do differently than what the home-owner can do, is we powerspray the perimeter of a home and we recommend quarterly treatments for that. By using a powersprayer, you can reach very high second and third stories treating around the eaves, the windows, the louvers, any place where stink bugs are going to get in where you are not normally going to be able to reach.”
Dominion has been leading the stink bug battle in Lancaster & York Counties with six highly trained technicians with an average of 15 years per tech. Dominion made history in 2010 by boldly proclaiming they knew how to get rid of stink bugs, while the national pest control companies continued to say they did not know how to control them. After Dominion’s customers began to request lawn signs that stated Dominion had treated their home, more and more residents of PA were convinced that Dominion had the secret. Since then, Dominion released an eighteen minute Stink Bug FAQ video, explaining exactly why we say we can get rid of the stinkers. To see the video, click below.

Lawn Care Lancaster PA
If you are looking for lawn care Lancaster PA, Dominion Pest Control in Lancaster now offers lawn care! It did not take long after announcing that we brought on lawn care expert Neil Brenneman, for local businesses and residences to request Neil to visit their properties and inquire what would be the best program for their lawn. Dominion brought on Neil in 2011, as more and more of our pest control customers requested lawn care and insect control for their lawns. Call today: 717-393-7879.
Lawn Care
Neil has more than 20 years in lawn care experience and pest control consultation. Dominion owner Gregory Pettis quips, “One of the biggest problems we had, was when Neil went out on a pest control call…they found out who he was, and wanted advice. So we said, ‘Let’s let Neil do what he’s an expert at…’”, thus Dominion opened the doors to their current clientele for lawn care in Lancaster. “It didn’t take long,” Pettis continues, “a local college signed up even before we were ready to implement the program.”
Pettis says the lawn care program in Lancaster was a natural progression for the local pest control company, founded in 2006. “We grew like crazy…as more and more folks found out that we had an average of 15 years experience per technician, they referred their neighbors, coworkers, friends and family. We are so grateful that we have the veteran crew that we do, and the awesome customers who keep talking about us. Then, when we asked Neil to come and use his pest control experience, it was like, ‘okay, so when is Neil going to service our lawns?’”
Dominion’s Lancaster lawn care team has another technician with almost a decade of lawn care experience. “It snowballed on us again”, Pettis adds, “Another tech with loads of experience stepped up and said, ‘I want in on it’. I didn’t even know about his lawn care experience, just about his longevity in pest control.”
In the state of Pennsylvania, it is not uncommon for pest control companies to open their doors to lawn care due to the simple fact that once you have your PA applicators license and have a track record, local residences understand that you expand your treating into other categories such as lawn care. “For now, I think we are going to stick with pest control and lawn care in Lancaster…with our lawn care to include fertilization, weed and insect control.”
Some of Dominion’s accomplishments include participating in WGAL’s Local Pros Who Know program–2006, Dominators Reality Show–2008 (stories by Lancaster Newspapers and York Daily Record), and various stink bug and bed bug stories by CBS 21, WGAL 8, YDR, and Lancaster Newspapers–2009-2011 (stories and video on homepage). Pettis, a local Lancastrian says that he is honored to have such an elite team. “I realize that our growth and success has come from local talent.
