Got Ants? We offer Small & Medium Ant Extermination
When you find ants in your home, you will want to clean off surfaces and remove potential food sources immediately, but that may not stop them from returning!
The best time to call a professional ant exterminator is when you first see a few scouts. Even if you clean and remove food sources, the ants will continue exploring and aggressively seek food sources anywhere they can. They will infiltrate cabinets or pantry areas, eat through packaging, and spoil nearly anything edible.
To fully eradicate ants, an ant pest control technician must be called.
The most common ants found in homes are small or medium-sized ants, of which the Odorous House Ant is a common species for this region. The Moisture Ant is another common small ant found in homes. Many ants that are small and found in the house are commonly referred to as ”sugar ants.”
When you see one or two ants, it isn't long before they appear everywhere. The first ants you see are scouts looking for food, and once they find a source, they send in an army of ant workers to get it.
They are attracted to open targets like the food bowl for your pets or the garbage can under the sink.
Once they find a food source, you will have lines of ants by the thousands, making a trail in and out of your home. The more food they find, their colony grows quicker, leading to a never-ending infestation.

Got RATS, Mice or Rodents?
Rats, Mice, and Rodents are abundant in the Portland Oregon area and can carry diseases and parasites. Rats are active year round, but especially like to seek shelter when it is cold out.
In their relentless search for food and habitation, rats, mice, and rodents will invade crawl spaces. This can cause contamination and damage to the vapor barrier, insulation, heating ducts, electrical wiring, and plumbing.
With rats comes disease and filth. Rats leave an abundant supply of droppings (fecal matter) and urine, and we can become exposed to contaminated dust particles of infected rats which is a risk to our health. If your crawl space becomes contaminated it can create an unhealthy environment in the rest of the home.
Dead Smell?
When Rats, Mice or Rodents die in your home's crawl space you may have a "dead smell" in your house and it smells horrible! We can get rid of this smell. You need a pest control company that will go under the house and eliminate the cause, clean infected areas and perform smell abatement.
The only permanent solution to your odor problem is to find and remove the dead rats, mouse or mice. Once we remove the carcass, a commercial odor neutralizing product can be used.

In their relentless search for food and habitation, rats, mice, and rodents will invade crawl spaces. This causes contamination and damage to insulation, heating ducts, and the surrounding crawl space structure. After we clean & repair your crawl space we will implement a rodent exclusion program to keep your crawl space free of rodents, rats and mice, and protect against rats and mice coming back into your crawl space.
