The Major Pests Of Clearfield County

In addition to spiders, flies, mosquitoes, ants, termites bedbugs, German and American cockroaches, businesses and commercial establishments throughout this Western Pennsylvania county have also been besieged with insects that attack their natural reserve of lumber and forest lands. These include the Emerald Ash Borer, Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, Asian Longhorned Beetle, Exotic Bark Beetles, Cherry Scallop Shell Moth and the Eastern Tent Caterpillar. Collectively, these wood boring insects have defoliated more than 520,000 acres of forest. Call us with any infestation issues (412) 252-5200.

The Forest and Eastern Tent Caterpillars

These two insect species are similar although not identical both in habit and appearance. Forest caterpillars are native insects that can be found throughout North America, wherever hardwoods grow. They do not actually build nests, but leave mats of silken threads on trees where they travel or rest. Since 1646, the eastern tent caterpillar, which feeds on apple, crab apple and cherry trees, has been observed in the United States. Outbreaks usually occur at eight and ten year intervals. They do build distinctive nests (loose cocoons) in the forks and crotches of a tree that are a tent-like in construction.

Pest management for both species is also similar as it involves destruction of the egg masses, which form on trees before they hatch. Both organic methods, such as insecticidal soap and spinosad, which is based on chemical compounds, and insecticides that include carbaryl (Sevin), which is man-made and malathion, an organophosphate (OP) insecticide, are used in the extermination of these two pests.

A Few Historical Clearfield County Pest-Related Facts

Its name most likely derives from Clearfield Creek and the many cleared fields of the valleys surrounding it that were formed by the bison herds and the old cornfields tilled by native Americans tribes. As was the case with many neighboring counties, the native population was pushed further west and the treaties signed at Fort Stanwix in 1784 and Fort McIntosh in 1785 expanded the rush for land. Land speculators divided the tracts into small sections and sold them for easy payments of $5 down which contributed to the great migration.

Difficulties With Settlement

Captain Edward Rickert headed the very first white settlement in 1784, which was arduous because steep mountainous terrain made travel perilous. Settlers, invading armies, and later, escaped slaves traveling north along the Underground Railroad from the stations at Grampian Hills and Burnside Township, traversed old Indian paths and trail crossings. The county was officially formed in 1804 from sections of Huntington and Lycoming counties.

Dealing With Early Pests

Pests, such as the Corn Root Aphid and the Corn Rootworm, for which the Native American farmers had only a few natural solutions, often ravaged the early Native American cornfields. The introduction of a natural predator to kill off the invader pest, which is known as biological pest control, only worked sometimes and often backfired. Birds were a great help because they fed on all crop pests and were able to move freely from one cornfield to another. Still, most often, the insects won the battle for sustenance.

The Lumber Industry Dominates The Economy

The production of logs and cut lumber dominated the economy until 1910 and attracted large numbers of European immigrants, many of whose descendants have remained in the county to this day. Low sulfur bituminous coal was mined all over the county until1918. The county remains the state’s fourth largest bituminous producer, and nearly all the coal comes from strip mines. Today, only 8 ½ percent of the county is farmed.
