Ant Control Service

Ants are a persistent nuisance for many homeowners throughout Washington. They frequently invade homes in search of food and shelter, especially with the state's unpredictable weather. With several ant species in the region, identifying the specific type invading your space is crucial for taking the right steps to prevent future infestations. Discover more about how our ant control services can help.

The three most common types of ants you're likely to encounter in Washington include:

Odorous House Ants: Often called sugar ants, these tiny pests emit a strong, unpleasant odor when crushed.

Carpenter Ants: Larger in size, these ants nest in wooden structures, such as beams and cabinetry, potentially causing serious structural damage over time.

Pavement Ants: Typically found along driveways and sidewalks, these ants can quickly enter your home if not addressed.

Spider Control Service

Spiders are another common pest in the Shoreline area. They often spin their webs in corners and other unexpected spots around your home. While most spiders in Washington are harmless, some, like the black widow, pose a potential danger. If you're dealing with a spider infestation and need a trusted spider control service, don't hesitate to reach out!

Here are four common types of spiders found in Washington:

Common House Spider: These small, brown spiders are generally harmless, often creating thick, messy webs in attics and window corners.

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

Hobo Spider: Typically tan in color, hobo spiders are often found in basements and secluded areas. They can bite if provoked, so it's wise to seek professional pest control assistance.

Jumping Spider: Known for their ability to jump, these small spiders are harmless but can still be an unwelcome presence in your home.

Mice & Rat Control Service

Rodents are more common in Washington than many might expect. They often present serious health risks if not addressed promptly. These pests are known to carry diseases and contaminate food supplies, making professional rodent control essential when facing an infestation of rats, mice, or other rodents.

Here are some of the common rodents we encounter:

Norway Rat: Large and stocky, these brown rats typically nest in basements and lower areas of homes.

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

House Mouse: Small and fast with a light brown coat, house mice can squeeze through tiny openings and frequently make their way to kitchens and pantries in search of food.

Deer Mouse: Known for their large eyes, these mice tend to seek indoor shelter during the winter and are known carriers of diseases like hantavirus.

Bushy-Tailed Woodrat: Recognizable by their bushy tails and a tendency to collect shiny objects, these rats are typically found in rural or wooded areas.

Hornet & Wasp Control

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

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

Bald-faced Hornet: This large, aggressive species of yellowjacket has striking black and white markings. They build football-shaped nests and can become highly defensive if their nests are disturbed.

European Hornet: Larger than most wasps, these hornets have reddish-brown bodies with yellow stripes. They often nest in hollow trees or wall voids and will turn aggressive if they feel threatened.

Common Yellowjacket: One of the most familiar stinging insects, yellowjackets are infamous for showing up at outdoor events, particularly around food. They are highly aggressive when provoked.

Paper Wasps: With their slender bodies and distinctive umbrella-shaped nests, paper wasps are generally less aggressive but will defend their nests if they sense danger.

How Often Should Pest Control Service Get Done?

Based on our extensive experience in Washington, we typically recommend monthly pest control services to keep your home protected from unwanted pests year-round. While the ideal frequency can vary depending on your location and the specific pests you're facing, monthly treatments generally provide the most consistent and effective results for the majority of our clients. Some homeowners may prefer service just once or twice a year, which can work well for pests like rodents or mice.

However, we know that every situation is different, and a one-size-fits-all solution doesn’t always fit. That’s why we offer a completely free quote and can schedule an on-site visit to assess your home. This way, we can recommend a customized solution that’s tailored to your pest problem.

What's The Most Common Pest in Washington?

Since we're rooted in Washington, we want to shine a spotlight on some of the most troublesome pests in the state. While the specific critters you encounter may vary based on your exact location, here are a few of the most common pests we handle in Washington.

Spiders are often one of the most frustrating pests for homeowners. Though most species are harmless, Washington is home to a few venomous varieties, like the yellow sac spider and the black widow. If you’re frequently spotting spiders in your home, it may be time to give us a call and explore some solutions.

Cockroaches are another pest no homeowner wants to find lurking in their home. These disease-spreading insects are notoriously resilient, able to survive for weeks without food, making them especially tough to eliminate. Their ability to adapt has earned them a reputation for being nearly "un-killable," but rest assured, we have the expertise and tools to take on even the most stubborn roach infestations.

Termites and carpenter ants also rank among Washington’s most problematic pests due to the significant damage they can cause. These pests thrive in dark, moist wooden structures inside your walls. While termites consume wood, carpenter ants excavate it to build their nests. Left untreated, the damage can escalate quickly. We’re here to help you address these issues before they worsen—don’t hesitate to reach out.

While each of these pests can be a serious challenge, our comprehensive pest control solutions are designed to tackle whatever infestation you’re dealing with. Contact us today for a free quote, or check out our FAQ page to learn more!
