Ant Control Service

Ants are a relentless problem for homeowners throughout Washington, frequently making their way indoors in search of food and shelter, especially given the state’s unpredictable weather. With numerous ant species present in the area, accurately identifying the type of ants invading your home is essential for taking effective measures to prevent future infestations. Our specialized ant control services are here to assist.

The three most common ant species you may come across in Washington are:

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

• Carpenter Ants: Much larger in size, these ants nest inside wooden structures like beams and cabinetry, potentially causing serious structural damage over time.

• Pavement Ants: Often spotted along driveways and sidewalks, these ants can infiltrate your home quickly if left unchecked.

Spider Control Service

Spiders are another common pest in the Clyde Hill area, often creating webs in corners and other unexpected places throughout your home. While most spiders in Washington are harmless, certain species, such as the black widow, can pose a threat. If you’re facing a spider infestation and need dependable spider control services, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Here are four common types of spiders you might encounter in Washington:

• Common House Spider: Generally harmless, these small brown spiders often build thick, messy webs in attics and window corners.

• Black Widow Spider: Recognizable by their glossy black bodies and distinctive red hourglass marking, black widows can be particularly dangerous, especially to children and the elderly.

• Hobo Spider: Typically tan in color, these spiders often hide in basements and secluded spots. They may bite when threatened, so seeking professional pest control assistance is recommended.

• Jumping Spider: Renowned for their impressive jumping ability, these small spiders are harmless but can still be an unwelcome presence indoors.

Mice & Rat Control Service

Rodents are more widespread in Washington than many people realize and can present serious health hazards if not addressed promptly. These pests are notorious for transmitting diseases and contaminating food supplies, making professional rodent control vital when dealing with infestations of rats, mice, or other rodents.

Here are some of the common rodents we often encounter:

• Norway Rat: Large and bulky, these brown rats usually nest in basements and lower areas of homes.

• Roof Rat: Sleek and dark brown, roof rats are expert climbers, often found in attics and higher spaces like rooftops.

• House Mouse: Small and agile, these light-brown mice can fit through tiny openings and often invade kitchens and pantries in search of food.

• Deer Mouse: Recognizable by their large eyes, these mice tend to seek indoor shelter during the winter months and are known carriers of diseases such as hantavirus.

• Bushy-Tailed Woodrat: Characterized by their bushy tails and a penchant for collecting shiny objects, these rats are typically found in rural or wooded settings.
  

Hornet & Wasp Control

Stinging insects can be aggressive and deliver painful stings, posing a serious risk to you and your family. When dealing with hornets or wasps, it’s important not to take any risks—reach out to Bamboo for expert and safe hornet and wasp control services.

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

• Bald-faced Hornet: This large, aggressive yellowjacket is easily identified by its striking black and white markings. Bald-faced hornets build football-shaped nests and can become extremely defensive if their nests are disturbed.

• European Hornet: Larger than most wasps, these hornets feature reddish-brown bodies with yellow stripes. They often nest in hollow trees or wall voids and can exhibit aggressive behavior when threatened.

• Common Yellowjacket: One of the most recognizable stinging insects, yellowjackets are notorious for showing up at outdoor gatherings, especially around food. They become highly aggressive when provoked.



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

Mosquito Control

Let’s face it—has anyone ever said, “I wish our barbecue had more mosquitoes”? Absolutely not. These tiny, blood-sucking nuisances have a talent for ruining even the sunniest summer days with relentless bites and endless irritation.



While you could reach for store-bought sprays and hope they work, battling a swarm of mosquitoes that way is like trying to put out a forest fire with a garden hose. That’s where our professional mosquito control service comes in. We don’t just offer a temporary fix; we give you the chance to enjoy your yard all season long. Say farewell to the constant swatting and scratching, and say hello to reclaiming your outdoor space.

How Often Should Pest Control Service Get Done?

With our extensive experience in Washington, we typically suggest monthly pest control services to ensure your home remains protected from pests year-round. While the ideal treatment frequency may vary based on your location and the pests you’re facing, monthly visits often deliver the most dependable results for most of our clients. Some homeowners may prefer services once or twice a year, which can work well for specific pests like rodents or mice.

That said, we recognize that every situation is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach isn’t always the best fit. That’s why we offer a completely free quote and can schedule an on-site assessment of your home. This allows us to recommend a customized solution tailored specifically to your pest control needs.

What's The Most Common Pest in Washington?

Being rooted in Washington, we have extensive expertise in managing some of the state’s most challenging pests. While the specific critters you encounter can vary based on your exact location, here are some of the most common pests we address throughout the state.

Spiders often frustrate homeowners. Although many species are harmless, Washington is also home to a few venomous types, such as the yellow sac spider and black widow. If you’re frequently finding spiders indoors, it might be time to reach out and explore effective control options.

Cockroaches are another dreaded sight for any homeowner. These disease-carrying pests are famously resilient and can survive for weeks without food, making them difficult to eradicate. Their adaptability has earned them a reputation as “nearly un-killable,” but rest assured—we possess the tools and expertise to tackle even the most stubborn roach infestations.



Termites and carpenter ants are among Washington’s most destructive pests due to their potential to cause extensive damage. These pests thrive in dark, moist wooden areas inside your walls. Termites consume wood, while carpenter ants excavate it to form their nests. If left unchecked, the damage can quickly escalate. We’re here to help you tackle these issues before they worsen, so don’t hesitate to get in touch.

While these pests can present serious challenges, our comprehensive pest control solutions are tailored to handle any infestation you may face. Contact us today for a free quote, or visit our FAQ page to learn more!
