Ants are a common headache for homeowners throughout Washington. These persistent pests often invade homes in search of food and shelter, especially during periods of unpredictable weather. With several ant species prevalent in the region, correctly identifying the type of ant is essential for implementing effective prevention and control strategies.

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

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

• Carpenter Ants: Larger in size, carpenter ants burrow into wooden structures such as beams and cabinetry. If left unchecked, they can cause significant structural damage.

• Pavement Ants: Typically found nesting along sidewalks and driveways, these ants can easily invade homes if preventative measures aren’t in place.
  

Spider Control Service

Spiders are a frequent nuisance in the Renton area, often spinning webs in corners and unexpected spots around your home. While most spiders in Washington are harmless, a few, like the black widow, can pose serious risks. If you’re dealing with a spider problem and need reliable spider control services, we’re here to help!

Here are four common types of spiders found in Washington:

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

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

Hobo Spider: Typically tan in color, hobo spiders are often found in basements or other secluded areas. They may bite when provoked, making professional pest control a wise choice.

Jumping Spider: Known for their remarkable jumping abilities, these small spiders are harmless but can still be an unwelcome presence indoors.

Mice & Rat Control Service

Rodents are more prevalent in Washington than many homeowners realize, posing serious health risks if not addressed promptly. Known for spreading diseases and contaminating food supplies, these pests make professional rodent control essential for managing infestations of rats, mice, or other rodent species.

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

• Norway Rat: Large and stocky, these brown rats often nest in basements and lower levels of homes, creating both health hazards and structural risks.

• Roof Rat: Sleek and dark brown, these agile climbers frequently nest in attics or elevated spaces like rooftops, making them especially challenging to eliminate without professional assistance.

• House Mouse: Small, quick, and light brown, house mice can squeeze through tiny gaps and are commonly found in kitchens and pantries while searching for food.

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

• Bushy-Tailed Woodrat: With their distinctive bushy tails and unique habit of collecting shiny objects, these rodents are typically found in rural or wooded areas but can occasionally invade homes.

• Bald-Faced Hornet: Easily identified by their bold black-and-white markings, these large and aggressive yellowjackets build football-shaped nests and become highly defensive when 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 become aggressive if they feel threatened.

• Common Yellowjacket: One of the most recognizable stinging insects, yellowjackets are infamous for disrupting outdoor gatherings, especially near food, and can become highly aggressive when provoked.

How Often Should Pest Control Service Get Done?

Based on our extensive experience in Washington, we generally recommend monthly pest control services to provide consistent, year-round protection for your home. While the ideal schedule may vary depending on your location and the specific pests you’re facing, monthly treatments often deliver the most reliable results for most homeowners. For those dealing with less persistent pests, like rodents or mice, seasonal treatments once or twice a year may be sufficient.

We know that every home and situation is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t always work. That’s why we offer free, no-obligation quotes and can arrange an on-site evaluation to thoroughly assess your needs. This personalized approach allows us to create a customized plan to keep your home pest-free and provide long-lasting peace of mind. Contact us today to get started!

What's The Most Common Pest in Washington?

Rooted in Washington, we bring years of experience in managing some of the state’s most persistent pests. While the specific critters you encounter may vary based on your location, here are some of the most common pests we handle effectively throughout the region.

Spiders are a common frustration for homeowners. While most species are harmless, Washington is home to a few venomous ones, including the yellow sac spider and the black widow. If you’re frequently spotting spiders, it might be time to consider targeted solutions to keep them in check.

Cockroaches are notorious for spreading diseases and thriving in harsh conditions. These resilient pests can survive for weeks without food, making them especially challenging to eliminate. Despite their reputation as nearly “un-killable,” our expertise and specialized tools can effectively handle even the toughest infestations.

Among Washington’s most destructive pests, 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 to build nests. Left untreated, their damage can escalate quickly, but our solutions are designed to resolve the issue before it gets worse.

No matter the pest, our comprehensive pest control services are tailored to eliminate 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!
