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. Even fewer can be found in the Pacific Northwest — just about 500, altogether — and according to the Oregon Department of Agriculture, there is just one spider that is considered potentially fatal to humans. The culprit? You’ve probably heard of it. It’s the Black Widow spider, which is not only a member of Marvel’s Avengers, but...

Why Should I Consider Quarterly Pest Control Service? Why regular, preventative pest control matters to residents of Vancouver, Camas, and Ridgefield
Pest infestations always happen at the most inopportune times. (But is there ever a convenient time for a pest infestation?) It never fails: You’re hosting people at your home, you’re about to leave town, or, like most of us, you have an incredibly busy day-to-day schedule and simply don’t need one more thing to have to deal with. Pest control for the layperson can be incredibly stressful, time consuming, and expensive.

Mice in Camas, WA
One of the most shocking and unnerving discoveries our clients in Camas express to us is that moment when they uncover a mice infestation — indicated by that gnawed open bag of birdseed in the shed or the unmistakable pile of mouse droppings discovered while getting holiday decorations out of the attic. It’s unexpected, it can be stressful, and, for lack of a better word, it’s gross! Mice — while undeniably cute little creatures — can carry diseases, cause a great deal of property damage, or even pose serious safety risks in your home and on your property.

Spiders in Camas, WA
Do you or someone you know have a fear of spiders? Arachnophobia, the scientific term for “fear of spiders,” is an incredibly common experience. In the U.S. alone, some 95 million people (reportedly one-third of all women and one-fourth of all men) identify as arachnophobes. That’s nearly 30% of the United States’ population! With such a common fear, it would be easy to assume that spiders in general pose quite a serious threat to the populace. Perhaps surprisingly, this is simply not the case. Of the 35,000 different varieties of spiders that exist, approximately 3,000 of those can be...
Stinging Insects in Ridgefield and Camas
It’s Springtime: Here Come the Bees, Wasps, Hornets, and Yellow Jackets In Ridgefield and Camas The Pacific Northwest is perhaps most famous for its rain. The overcast skies, the constant drizzle, and copious amounts of warm, caffeinated beverages to combat those factors— they’re all too common clichés that bear more than a little bit of truth. What’s less known is that once those skies become clear and dry, the Pacific Northwest becomes a virtual wonderland of flowering plants: rhododendrons, cherry and apple blossoms, magnolias, tulips, and dogwood. The once sleepy landscape is suddenly...
