Somerset County & It's Major Pest Control Problems

Somerset County businesses have had more than their share of creepy crawlies and flying insects, which include: spiders, bed bugs, termites, German and American cockroaches, mosquitoes, black flies, ticks and gypsy moth caterpillars, which eat the leaves and severely threaten the health and growth of hardwood forests.

Gypsy Moth Caterpillars

In particular, the gypsy moth caterpillar was introduced in Pennsylvania and other states accidentally from overseas by someone who was seeking to breed the species with a native silkworm for use in the silk industry. The experiment failed and some of the gypsy moths escaped and established themselves in nature, first in Massachusetts and then in at least seven eastern states. This pest that is so lethal to trees continues a cyclic population about every five to ten years. Its larvae consume the leaves of more than 500 species of trees, shrubs and plants.

A Few Historical Somerset County Pest Facts

Named for Somersetshire, England, this county was created in April of 1795 from part of Bedford County. The native Americans from the Iroquois Confederacy and the Delaware, Shawnee and Susquehannock Indians ceded the territory, which was unoccupied and served as a hunting ground, in The “New Purchase” of The Fort Stanwix Treaty of 1768. This legally opened the area for early white settlement.

Early Pestilence Problems

These early hunters and gatherers lived off the land and in ancient times, utilized natural methods to combat the insects that invaded their crops and granaries. Some tribes were known to burn corncobs, which created a natural screen around crop lines, but its effectiveness lasted only for a few hours. Other ancient pest control methods involved the introduction of additional crops and natural predators, both of which sometimes worked and often backfired.

Some tribes used insect repellant plants, such as the willow, for making baskets, and they collected various insects from these plants, which included caterpillars, army-worms, grasshoppers, crickets ants and flies. These bugs were then roasted and consumed as sources of protein. Migratory birds also ate many kinds of insects and helped to stabilize invading insect populations.

Early Economy and The Whiskey Rebellion

In the late 18th century, the economy of Somerset County was almost exclusively based on rye grain and whiskey. In 1794, the federal government under George Washington instituted a tax on distilleries. The counties of Western Pennsylvania, including Somerset, were enraged and actively demonstrated against both the excise tax and the government. Rioting ensued, there were injuries and some tax collectors were tarred and feathered.

Other Industries and Pest Control

In 1828, an Agricultural Society was formed to promote effective farming methods. By this time, several industries had evolved including: a cloth known as linsey-woolsey, maple sugar and the cultivation of buckwheat. Livestock (cattle and sheep) flourished as did lumber and coal after the opening of the railroad in the 1870s. By the dawn of the 19th century, pest control was restricted to botanical preparations, including elemental sulfur, oil soaps and kerosene emulsions.
