Wasps, Hornets, and Yellow Jacket Extermination: What every Washougal Home and Business Owner Should Know
It’s finally summertime. And while the way we’re treating our summers in 2020 is slightly different than it’s been in the past, we still have plenty of opportunities to safely and joyfully bask in the splendor of the summer months — the sunshine, the long, hot days, and the warm nights filled with chirping crickets, croaking frogs, and maybe the occasional firework or two. Of course, one of our favorite summertime activities is enjoying the outdoors — particularly when we can share an outdoor meal with our families. There’s usually something for everyone at a backyard barbecue, and we...

Mice and rats are common pest problems in Ridgefield. Though historically common in certain urban and rural areas, the last several years have seen an increase in activities like urban farming, which often can include elements such as raising chickens (which requires feed on one end and creates waste on another) and composting (which, if not tended to properly, becomes a grand buffet for a wide variety of pests).

Quarterly Pest Control Services: Why homeowners in Ridgefield Choose the Home Protection Plan
