Ant Control Service

Ants are a persistent nuisance for many homeowners across Washington. They often invade homes searching for food and shelter, especially with the state’s unpredictable weather patterns. With several ant species prevalent in the region, correctly identifying the type invading your space is key to taking effective steps to prevent future infestations. Learn more about how our ant control services can help.

The three most common types of ants you may encounter in Washington include:

• Odorous House Ants: Commonly referred to as sugar ants, these small pests release a strong, unpleasant odor when crushed.

• Carpenter Ants: Larger in size, these ants make their nests within wooden structures, such as beams and cabinetry, potentially causing significant structural damage over time.

• Pavement Ants: Frequently found along driveways and sidewalks, these ants can quickly infiltrate your home if not properly controlled.
  

Spider Control Service

Spiders are another common pest in the Kenmore area. They often spin their webs in corners and other unexpected spots throughout your home. While most spiders in Washington are harmless, some, such as the black widow, can pose a potential threat. If you're dealing with a spider infestation and need reliable spider control services, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Here are four common types of spiders found in Washington:

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

• Black Widow Spider: Easily identified by their shiny black bodies and distinctive red hourglass markings, black widows can be dangerous, particularly for children and the elderly.

• Hobo Spider: Usually tan in color, hobo spiders often reside in basements and secluded areas. They may bite when provoked, so it’s best to seek professional pest control help.

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

Mice & Rat Control Service

Rodents are more prevalent in Washington than many might realize, and they can pose significant health risks if not promptly addressed. These pests are notorious for carrying diseases and contaminating food sources, making professional rodent control essential when dealing with infestations of rats, mice, or other rodents.

Here are some of the common rodents we encounter:

• Norway Rat: Large and bulky, these brown rats often make their nests in basements and lower areas of homes.

• Roof Rat: Sleek and dark brown, roof rats are skilled climbers, commonly found in attics and higher spaces such as rooftops.

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

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

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

How Often Should Pest Control Service Get Done?

Drawing from our extensive experience in Washington, we generally recommend monthly pest control services to keep your home consistently protected from pests all year long. While the ideal frequency may vary depending on your location and the specific pests you’re dealing with, monthly treatments tend to provide the most reliable results for the majority of our clients. Some homeowners may opt for services once or twice a year, which can be effective for specific pests like rodents or mice.

However, we understand that each situation is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t always apply. That’s why we offer a completely free quote and can arrange an on-site visit to evaluate your home. This allows us to recommend a personalized solution tailored to your specific pest concerns.

What's The Most Common Pest in Washington?

Being rooted in Washington, we’re well-versed in dealing with some of the state’s most troublesome pests. While the specific critters you encounter may vary based on your exact location, here are a few of the most common pests we handle across the state.

Spiders are often a source of frustration for homeowners. Although most species are harmless, Washington is also home to a few venomous varieties, such as the yellow sac spider and the black widow. If you’re frequently finding spiders in your home, it might be time to reach out and explore effective solutions.

Cockroaches are another unwelcome sight for any homeowner. These disease-spreading pests are infamously resilient and can survive for weeks without food, making them difficult to eliminate. Their adaptability has earned them a reputation for being nearly “un-killable,” but rest assured—we have the expertise and tools to effectively tackle even the most stubborn roach infestations.

Termites and carpenter ants rank among Washington’s most problematic pests due to their potential to cause extensive damage. These pests thrive in dark, moist wooden structures inside your walls. Termites consume wood, while carpenter ants excavate it to create their nests. Left unchecked, the damage can escalate rapidly. We’re here to help you address these issues before they worsen, so don’t hesitate to get in touch.

While each of these pests can present serious challenges, our comprehensive pest control solutions are tailored to tackle any infestation you’re facing. Contact us today for a free quote, or explore our FAQ page to learn more!
