Ants are a persistent problem for many homeowners throughout Washington. They often invade homes in search of food and shelter, especially during periods of unpredictable weather. With various ant species common in the region, accurately identifying the type of ant in your home is crucial for implementing effective prevention and control measures.

Discover how our specialized ant control services can help protect your home.

Here are the three most common types of ants you might encounter in Washington:

• Odorous House Ants: Often called sugar ants, these tiny pests are known for emitting a strong, unpleasant smell when crushed.

• Carpenter Ants: Larger in size, these ants nest in wooden structures like beams and cabinetry, potentially causing significant structural damage over time.

• Pavement Ants: Frequently found along sidewalks and driveways, these ants can easily make their way indoors if not effectively managed.

Spider Control Service

Spiders are another common pest in the Edmonds area, often spinning their webs in corners and other unexpected places throughout your home. While most spiders in Washington are harmless, some, like the black widow, can pose a serious threat. If you’re dealing with a spider infestation and need reliable spider control services, we’re here to help!

Here are four common types of spiders found in Washington:

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

Mice & Rat Control Service

Rodents are more common in Washington than many might realize, and they pose serious health risks if not addressed promptly. Known for spreading diseases and contaminating food, these pests make professional rodent control essential when dealing with infestations of rats, mice, or other rodent species.

Here are some of the common rodents we encounter in Edmonds and the surrounding areas:

• Norway Rat: Large and stocky, these brown rats typically nest in basements and lower areas of homes, posing both health and structural risks.

• House Mouse: Small, quick, and light brown, house mice can squeeze through tiny openings and are frequently found in kitchens and pantries in search of food.

• Deer Mouse: Recognizable by their large eyes, these mice often seek indoor shelter during winter and are known carriers of diseases like hantavirus.

• Bushy-Tailed Woodrat: With their distinctive bushy tails and habit of collecting shiny objects, these rats are typically found in rural or wooded areas.

How Often Should Pest Control Service Get Done?

Based on our extensive experience in Washington, we often recommend monthly pest control services to keep your home consistently protected from pests throughout the year. While the ideal schedule can vary depending on your location and the specific pests you’re dealing with, monthly treatments typically deliver the most dependable results for the majority of our clients. For some homeowners, especially those dealing with pests like rodents or mice, seasonal services once or twice a year may be sufficient.

That said, we know every home and situation is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t always work. That’s why we offer a free, no-obligation quote and can schedule an on-site evaluation of your home. This ensures we provide a personalized solution tailored to your specific pest control needs.

What's The Most Common Pest in Washington?

Rooted in Washington, we have extensive experience tackling some of the state’s most troublesome pests. While the specific critters you encounter may vary based on your location, here are a few of the most common pests we manage across the region.

Spiders are a frequent source of frustration for homeowners. While most species are harmless, Washington is home to a few venomous types, such as the yellow sac spider and the black widow. If you’re regularly spotting spiders around your home, it may be time to explore targeted solutions to address the issue.

Cockroaches are another unwelcome pest that no homeowner wants to encounter. Known for spreading diseases, these resilient insects can survive weeks without food, making them particularly challenging to eliminate. Their adaptability has earned them a reputation for being nearly "un-killable," but with our expertise and tools, even the most stubborn infestations can be effectively handled.

Termites and Carpenter Ants are some of the most destructive pests in Washington as they can cause significant damage to your home. These pests thrive in dark, moist wooden areas within walls—termites consuming wood and carpenter ants excavating it for their nests. Left untreated, the damage can escalate quickly, but we’re here to help resolve these issues before they become severe.

No matter the pest, our comprehensive pest control solutions are designed to tackle infestations at their source. Contact us today for a free quote, or visit our FAQ page to learn more about how we can help protect your home!
