Here are the three most common types of ants found in Washington:

Spiders are a common nuisance in the Maltby area, often weaving their webs in corners and other unexpected spots around your home.

How Often Should Pest Control Service Get Done?

Drawing on our extensive experience in Washington, we typically recommend monthly pest control services to ensure consistent protection for your home year-round. While the ideal schedule can vary depending on your location and the type of pests you’re dealing with, monthly treatments often provide the most reliable results for the majority of our clients. For some homeowners, particularly those managing pests like rodents or mice, seasonal treatments once or twice a year might suffice.

We understand that every home and situation is unique, and a one-size-fits-all solution isn’t always effective. That’s why we offer a free, no-obligation quote and can schedule an on-site evaluation to assess your specific needs. This allows us to design a customized plan that keeps your home pest-free and your mind at ease.

What's The Most Common Pest in Washington?

Rooted in Washington, we have years of experience dealing with some of the state’s most persistent pests. While the specific critters you encounter may vary depending on your location, here are a few of the most common pests we manage throughout the region.

A frequent source of frustration for homeowners, spiders are often harmless, but Washington is home to a few venomous species, including the yellow sac spider and the black widow. If you’re spotting spiders around your home regularly, it might be time to explore targeted solutions to keep them under control.

Another unwelcome guest, cockroaches are notorious for spreading diseases and surviving in extreme conditions. These resilient pests can go weeks without food, making them particularly difficult to eliminate. While they’ve earned a reputation for being nearly “un-killable,” our expertise and tools can effectively tackle even the most stubborn infestations.

Two of the most destructive pests in Washington, termites and carpenter ants can cause significant damage to your home. Both thrive in dark, moist wooden areas—termites consume the wood, while carpenter ants excavate it for their nests. Left untreated, their damage can escalate rapidly, but we’re here to resolve the issue before it worsens.

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 protect your home!
