Boxelder Bugs In Battle Ground?
Do This!
What are boxelder bugs, and what do they look like? Boxelder bugs don’t have the same name recognition as yellow jackets, sugar ants, and other nuisance insects, but they’re still an incredibly common pest in the Pacific Northwest.

Their bodies at full maturity are typically very dark brown to black in color, but certain parts of their bodies possess a dramatically different shade. The veins of their wings, the perimeter of their backs, the...

Ant infestations are an entirely common occurrence. One day, everything is normal. Your home is neat and tidy. (Or, perhaps cozy and “lived in” as some might say.)

Gresham Mice Extermination: How do I know if I have a mouse infestation?
We get this sort of question from clients all of the time. “I think I might have a mouse infestation, but...how do I know for sure?” Of course, for your sake, we’d like the answer to be “No,” but there are signs to look for that can help confirm your suspicions. Have you found what appears to be nests or nesting material? Mice will shred paper, cardboard, insulation, and other similar fibrous material to create their nests with.

Spider Extermination in Gresham, OR
I saw spiders in and around my home — can they hurt me? Here’s the fascinating thing about spiders: Of the approximately 35,000 different species of spiders that reside across the globe, fewer than ten percent of all spiders can be found in the United States.
