• Rub and gnaw marks along the walls where rodents travel
• Scampering or scratching in the walls at night
• Droppings and nesting material in active areas
• Chew marks on food packaging and electrical wires
• Holes gnawed through floors and walls that open up new entry points

Carpenter ants settle in damp or decaying wood, tunneling out galleries that can weaken your home over time. They don't eat the wood, but finding them usually points to a moisture problem like a leak or water damage. Edmonds homes are especially vulnerable when those issues go unaddressed. Store-bought treatments often fail because they don't address the entire colony. Professional ant control combines accurate species identification and targeted treatment to clear the colony and help prevent its return.

Look for:

• Large ants indoors
• Rustling sounds in the walls
• Sawdust-like piles (frass)
• Winged ants indoors

The sooner you act, the more you protect your home from costly structural damage.

Odorous house ants are a common spring and summer nuisance. These tiny black ants trail along baseboards and countertops, gravitating toward kitchens and bathrooms. Crush one, and you'll catch the rotten, coconut-like smell they're named for. They favor damp spots and spread across several colonies indoors and out, which makes them hard to clear with store-bought products.

Why professional treatment helps:

• Accurate identification of the ant species
• Strategic bait placement indoors and out
• Professional advice on limiting the things that attract ants
• A perimeter barrier treatment that ants carry back to the nest

Store-bought sprays usually offer only short-term relief, and they can actually make the problem worse by causing the colony to split, or bud, into new colonies. Lasting control takes an approach built around your home.

Rodents like mice, rats, and voles are far from harmless. They're always hunting for food and shelter, and they can carry diseases that put your household at risk. Infestations grow fast, and in Edmonds, they often cause real damage before anyone notices. Our rodent control focuses on clearing active infestations, sealing entry points, and correcting the conditions that attract them.

Look for signs such as:

• Droppings or urine stains
• Gnaw marks on furniture or wires
• Scratching noises in walls or ceilings
• Burrows or tunnels near your home

Acting early with a professional helps protect your family from health risks and your home from damage.

• Removing nests safely with minimal risk
• Putting prevention measures in place to protect your family

Edmonds homes and businesses deal with plenty of other common pests, too. We inspect for and treat:

• Cockroaches: One of the most common household pests anywhere, drawn to warmth, food, and moisture in kitchens and bathrooms. We eliminate the infestation at the source.
• Silverfish: Moisture-loving insects that show up in bathrooms, basements, and storage boxes. We treat them and offer professional recommendations to address the damp conditions they rely on.
• Earwigs: Outdoor invaders that push inside during wet weather. We treat them at the entry points, though we do not provide moisture management. The damp conditions drawing them need to be corrected to solve the source of the issue.
• House centipedes and centipedes: Fast-moving hunters that follow other pests indoors. Clearing their food source by reducing the insects they feed on helps keep them out.
• Carpenter bees: Wood-boring bees that drill into eaves, decks, and siding. We treat active galleries and help protect exposed wood.
