General Pest Control in Portland
Ants, spiders, boxelder bugs and other everyday invaders, handled with treatments chosen to be safe for kids and pets.
Ants, carpenter ants, termites, spiders, boxelder bugs and the rest of the everyday invaders are all handled here. We treat general pest problems and offer quarterly or monthly plans for year-round protection.
A technician finds what is drawing pests to your property and where they are getting in, then treats the source instead of just the trail.
That starts with identifying the pest, since ants, spiders, stinging insects like wasps, yellow jackets and bald-faced hornets, and moisture pests each behave differently and need a different approach. We walk the exterior, check the foundation, eaves, entries and any damp areas, and explain what we found before treating.
For a single problem, one visit is often enough. For homes that want steady protection, quarterly or monthly plans keep a barrier in place and include regular check-ins, so small issues are caught before they become big ones.

Common pests we handle
Tap a pest to learn more.
Ants+
Trails in kitchens, bathrooms and along foundations. We find the entry point and treat the source.
Carpenter ants+
Large black ants that nest in damp or damaged wood. We track the activity back to the nest and the moisture drawing them in.
Termites+
Wood-destroying insects that often go unnoticed. Termites always require an inspection first, so we inspect for activity and discuss treatment options.
Spiders+
Webs around eaves, patios and entries. We look at what is drawing them and treat where they settle.
Boxelder bugs+
Often gather on sun-warmed exterior walls and find their way indoors as weather cools.
Wasps, yellow jackets & hornets+
Nests in eaves, sheds, soffits and wall voids, including yellow jackets and bald-faced hornets. We treat and remove stinging insect nests.
Earwigs & silverfish+
Moisture-loving pests that show up in basements, bathrooms and crawlspaces.

Common questions
Do you do one-time visits and ongoing plans?
Both. Many problems are fixed with a single treatment, and plans run quarterly or monthly.
What is the difference between a quarterly and a monthly plan?
Both include regular exterior treatment. Monthly visits suit properties with heavier or recurring pressure. Your technician can recommend the right schedule after the inspection.
How do I know which pest I have?
Describe what you are seeing when you call or text, and your technician will identify it during the inspection and explain the best way to treat it.
Do you also handle rodents and squirrels?
Yes. Rodents and squirrels are part of what we handle every day. See our Rodent Exclusion and Squirrel Removal pages for how that work goes.
Are the treatments safe for kids and pets?
We choose products to be safe for kids and pets. Ask your technician about the specifics for your home.
