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. If you come across these materials, or signs that these materials are being used to create a nest (shredded paper, boxes, etc.) then this can point to a rodent...

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...
My Portland Home is Infested with Boxelder Bugs — How Do I Exterminate Them?
What is the boxelder bug? You might not know the boxelder by name, but they’re actually an incredibly common pest in the greater Portland and Southwest Washington area. In their maturity, these insects can be identified in appearance by how their black or very dark brown exoskeletons are offset by a distinguishable set of bright red or dark orange markings that outline the perimeter of their wings, abdomen, and thorax. They have large, bulbous, red eyes and long, black antennae, the latter of which are marked in sections with a dark red band. These flying insects usually measure about...

Your home in Happy Valley would probably be a whole lot happier if it was free of spider infestations! What do you really know about spiders?
