Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to leave when your exterminators are working?
Our eco-friendly pest control services are safe for people of all ages, cats, dogs, and most other pets. So, kick up your feet while we eliminate your pest problem!
Where do you work?
Our exterminators, pest control experts, and rodent removal teams work throughout the Portland and Vancouver metro area, including nearby suburbs like Beaverton, Oregon City, Tigard, Lake Oswego, and Happy Valley.
Should I call professional window washers for wasp nest removal?
While professional window washers are skilled at working in high and hard-to-reach areas, wasp nest removal is typically not within their scope of work. Wasps can become aggressive when their nests are disturbed, making their removal potentially dangerous without the proper expertise. This type of job is better suited for pest control professionals who are trained to handle insect nests safely and effectively.
Attempting to remove a wasp nest yourself or relying on someone without pest control training can lead to stings and safety risks. Pest control experts have the knowledge and equipment needed to neutralize the threat while minimizing harm to people or property. If you have a wasp nest near your windows or in an elevated location, consider reaching out to a pest control service for safe, efficient removal.
What exactly is a cockroach exterminator?
A cockroach exterminator is a trained professional who specializes in identifying, managing, and eliminating cockroach infestations in homes, businesses, and other spaces. They use a combination of inspection, targeted treatments, and preventative measures to address the problem and reduce the chances of it recurring. Exterminators are knowledgeable about different species of cockroaches and their habits, which allows them to choose the most effective treatment methods for each situation.
Hiring a cockroach exterminator is essential because cockroaches are not only unpleasant but can also pose health risks. These pests can spread bacteria, allergens, and even trigger asthma symptoms in some people. Exterminators use tools and strategies that are both effective and safe, ensuring the infestation is dealt with thoroughly. They may also provide guidance on how to prevent future infestations, such as sealing entry points or reducing food and water sources that attract cockroaches.
What are some common methods for bed bug treatment?
Effective bed bug treatment often involves a combination of professional and DIY methods to ensure thorough elimination. Chemical treatments are widely used, as they target bed bugs at all life stages. These involve applying insecticides to areas where bed bugs hide, such as mattress seams, baseboards, and furniture crevices. Non-chemical approaches, like vacuuming and steam cleaning, are also common and can help reduce the population of bed bugs in furniture, carpets, and bedding. Heat treatments, in which a space is heated to temperatures lethal to bed bugs, are another highly effective option and can provide immediate results.
Preventive measures are essential for maintaining the results of any bed bug treatment. Washing and drying clothing, bedding, and other washable items on high heat can kill any hidden pests. Using bed bug-proof encasements on mattresses and box springs can prevent new infestations and trap any remaining bugs. Combining multiple treatment methods not only eradicates bed bugs but also helps to ensure they don’t return.
What is mice control and why is it important?
Mice control refers to the methods and strategies used to manage and eliminate mice infestations in homes, buildings, and other spaces. This process typically involves identifying entry points, removing food and water sources, and using traps or safe rodenticides to reduce the population. It also includes preventive measures such as sealing gaps and maintaining cleanliness to ensure mice cannot return. The goal of mice control is not only to address current infestations but also to create an environment that discourages future issues.
Mice control is important because mice can pose serious health and property risks. They can spread diseases such as hantavirus and salmonella through their droppings and urine, putting people at risk of illness. Additionally, mice often chew through wires, insulation, and other materials, potentially causing costly damage or even fire hazards. Effective mice control helps protect your health, home, and peace of mind by stopping these pests from causing harm and disruption.
What pests are most common during different times of the year?
Our Pest Insurance program is built around seasonal treatments of the most common pest infestations as well as preventive treatments against future infestations. Because our area has such distinct seasons, different pests are active at different times of the year.
- Spring & Early Summer: Wasps, Box Elders, Ants, Spiders, Rodents

Are roof rats dangerous to humans?
Roof rats can pose significant dangers to humans, both directly and indirectly. These rodents are known carriers of various diseases, including leptospirosis, salmonella, and hantavirus, which can be transmitted through their droppings, urine, or when they come into contact with food. Additionally, roof rats often carry fleas and mites that can spread to humans or pets, creating further health risks.
Beyond the health concerns, roof rats can also cause structural damage to your property. Their constant gnawing can chew through wiring, which increases the risk of electrical fires, as well as insulation and wooden beams, compromising your home’s integrity. Addressing a roof rat problem promptly is crucial to protect both your health and your property. Taking preventative measures, such as sealing entry points and maintaining a clean environment, can help reduce their presence.
Can I get rid of wasps on my own, or do I need a professional exterminator?
Identifying the need for a wasp exterminator often depends on the size of the nest and the level of activity you’re seeing. If the wasp nest is large, located in a hard-to-reach or sensitive area, or you’ve noticed a significant number of wasps around your property, it might be time to consider professional help. Additionally, if you or anyone in your household is allergic to wasp stings, addressing the issue quickly and safely becomes even more critical.
Wasps can become aggressive, especially if their nest feels threatened, making DIY removal attempts risky. If you’re unsure about the type of wasps you’re dealing with or feel unprepared to safely remove the nest yourself, a professional exterminator can assess the situation. They bring the right tools and expertise to eliminate the problem while helping you understand how to avoid future infestations.
What is mice pest removal?
Mice pest removal is the process of eliminating mice from a property and preventing them from returning. This often involves a combination of methods tailored to the severity of the infestation. Professionals typically begin by identifying entry points, nesting areas, and food sources that attract mice. Traps, such as snap traps and live traps, are commonly used to quickly and effectively reduce the population. Some methods may involve the use of bait stations with specially formulated rodenticides, placed safely to avoid harming pets or children.
A critical part of mice pest removal is focusing on prevention to minimize the risk of future infestations. Sealing gaps, cracks, and other potential entry points around doors, windows, and foundations is key. Reducing food and water sources, such as properly storing food and cleaning up crumbs, also discourages mice from returning. Regular inspections and maintenance are essential to ensure a long-term solution for keeping your space mouse-free.
What is a roach exterminator?
A roach exterminator is a professional who specializes in identifying, controlling, and eliminating cockroach infestations in homes, businesses, and other properties. These experts use a combination of methods to eradicate roaches, including inspections to find infestations, applying treatments like sprays, baits, and gels, and offering advice for preventing future issues. Their goal is to provide safe and effective solutions to help maintain a pest-free environment.
Roach exterminators play a critical role because cockroaches are not only unsightly but can also pose health risks. They are known to carry bacteria, contaminate food, and trigger allergies or asthma in some individuals. By addressing the problem at its source and offering long-term prevention strategies, exterminators help protect both the hygiene and safety of your living or working space.
