Ant Control Service

Ants are a persistent issue for many homeowners across Washington. They often enter homes seeking food and shelter, especially with the state’s unpredictable weather.. With various ant species in the region, identifying the specific type invading your home is key to implementing effective prevention. Learn more about how our ant control services can help keep these pests at bay.

The three most common ant types you’re likely to encounter in Washington are:

Odorous House Ants: Also known as sugar ants, these tiny pests emit a strong, unpleasant odor when crushed.

Carpenter Ants: Larger in size, carpenter ants make nests in wooden structures like beams and cabinetry, posing a risk of significant structural damage over time.

Pavement Ants: Often found along driveways and sidewalks, pavement ants can quickly enter your home if left untreated.

Spider Control Service

Spiders are another common pest in the Brier area, frequently spinning webs in corners and other unexpected spots around your home. While most spiders in Washington are harmless, a few, such as the black widow, can pose potential risks. If you’re dealing with a spider infestation and need a reliable spider control service, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Here are four common types of spiders found in Washington:

Common House Spider: Small and brown, these spiders are generally harmless, often creating thick, messy webs in attics and window corners.

Black Widow Spider: Recognizable by their glossy black bodies and striking red hourglass markings, black widows can be dangerous, particularly for children and the elderly.

Hobo Spider: Typically tan in color, hobo spiders are often found in basements and secluded areas. They may bite if disturbed, so professional pest control is recommended.

Jumping Spider: Known for their agility, these small spiders are harmless but can still be an unwelcome presence in your home.

Mice & Rat Control Service

Rodents are more common in Washington than many people realize, often posing serious health risks if not addressed quickly. Known for carrying diseases and contaminating food supplies, these pests make professional rodent control essential when dealing with infestations of rats, mice, or other types of rodents.

Here are some of the common rodents we encounter:

Norway Rat: Large and stocky, these brown rats tend to nest in basements and lower areas of homes.

Roof Rat: Sleek and dark brown, roof rats are skilled climbers, frequently found in attics and high spaces like rooftops.

House Mouse: Small and quick, with a light brown coat, house mice can squeeze through tiny gaps and often head for kitchens and pantries in search of food.

Deer Mouse: Recognizable by their large eyes, deer mice often seek indoor shelter in colder months and are carriers of diseases like hantavirus.

Bushy-Tailed Woodrat: Known for their bushy tails and habit of collecting shiny objects, these rats are commonly found in rural or wooded areas.

Hornet & Wasp Control

Stinging insects can be both aggressive and painful, presenting a real threat to your family’s safety. When it comes to hornets or wasps, it’s best to avoid risks—reach out to Bamboo for professional, safe hornet and wasp control services.

Here are some common stinging insects we often encounter in the area:

Bald-faced Hornet: A large, aggressive type of yellowjacket, known for its bold black and white coloring. These hornets build football-shaped nests and can become extremely defensive if disturbed.

European Hornet: Larger than most wasps, these hornets have reddish-brown bodies with yellow stripes. They often nest in hollow trees or wall voids and can be highly aggressive if they feel threatened.

Common Yellowjacket: One of the most familiar stinging insects, yellowjackets are notorious for appearing around food at outdoor gatherings and can be very aggressive when provoked.

Paper Wasps: With slender bodies and distinctive umbrella-shaped nests, paper wasps are typically less aggressive but will defend their nests if they sense danger.

How Often Should Pest Control Service Get Done?

Drawing from our extensive experience in Washington, we usually recommend monthly pest control services to keep your home protected from unwanted pests all year long. While the ideal frequency can depend on your location and the specific pests you’re dealing with, monthly treatments generally deliver the most consistent and effective results for most of our clients. Some homeowners may opt for service once or twice a year, which can work well for issues like rodents or mice.

However, we understand that every situation is unique, and one-size-fits-all solutions don’t always apply. That’s why we offer a free quote and can schedule an on-site visit to assess your home’s needs. This way, we can recommend a tailored plan that effectively addresses your specific pest concerns.

What's The Most Common Pest in Washington?

Since we’re rooted in Washington, we want to highlight some of the most troublesome pests in the state. While the critters you encounter may vary based on location, here are a few common pests we frequently manage in Washington.

Spiders are often one of the more frustrating pests for homeowners. Though most species are harmless, Washington is home to a few venomous varieties, including the yellow sac spider and the black widow. If you’re frequently spotting spiders in your home, it may be time to reach out and explore our effective solutions.

Cockroaches are another unwelcome sight in any home. These disease-carrying insects are notoriously tough, able to survive without food for weeks, which makes them difficult to eradicate. Known for their resilience, they’re often considered nearly "un-killable," but with our expertise, we’re more than equipped to tackle even the most stubborn roach infestations.

Termites and carpenter ants also rank high among Washington’s most problematic pests due to the significant structural damage they can cause. These wood-loving pests thrive in the dark, moist areas of your walls. While termites consume wood, carpenter ants carve it out to create their nests. Left unchecked, the damage can escalate quickly, but we’re here to address these issues before they worsen.

Each of these pests poses a unique challenge, but our comprehensive pest control solutions are designed to handle any infestation. Contact us today for a free quote, or check out our FAQ page to learn more!
