Ways You’re Attracting Ants To Your Kenmore, WA Property

It's unpleasant to face the fact that sometimes we've actually contributed to the pest infestation somehow. When it comes to ant activity, there are a lot of small things that property owners may overlook, giving ants a chance to get inside and grow their colonies.

Something as seemingly inconsequential as forgetting to repair a torn window or door screen can be the catalyst to an infestation. Perhaps you've been neglecting cracks, crevices, or gaps in the foundation, walls, and siding. You may have left food out or forgotten to clean up messes and spills as soon as they happen. Maybe you've left dirty dishes in the sink too long or left out pet food overnight.

All of these things can contribute to ant activity. Obviously, no one intends to draw ants onto their property, but all of these small details can have a big impact on your ability to avoid ant infestation. Contact Guard Pest Control today to discuss your ant control and prevention needs.

The Importance Of Ongoing Rodent Control In Kenmore, WA

No one likes the idea of discovering a rodent in their home or business. These hairy intruders breed rapidly and massively grow their populations. A family of mice can quickly turn into a large-scale infestation, that puts you and your property in harm's way. Rodents can cause serious structural damage. They gnaw on and chew through structural material throughout your property, weakening the construction and making the property an unsafe environment. Rodents also cause widespread contamination, spreading germs and bacteria that can lead to many diseases.

The most effective form of rodent protection is ongoing servicing from the pest experts. The Guard Pest Control team provides comprehensive rodent control and exclusion services that property owners can rely on throughout the year. We use monthly rodent bait stations to keep your home or business free from infestations moving forward. Call us today for a free estimate.

Good quality service, very friendly and knowledgeable technician. Whole process was easy and stress free. 10/10 would hire them again in a heart beat. They were cheaper than 2 other quotes from other company’s. Can’t recommend them enough.

Fast growing wasp nest in attic vent needed stopping asap. Scheduler Olivia was friendly and got Christian out right away to spray. Christian surveyed around the house for any other nests and detailed the spraying process along with 60 day guarantee. Wasps were gone after day 3 and still no sign of them on day 10 so very pleased. I would recommend and will use again.

We have used Guard Pest Control for at least 4 years and have been so grateful for the peace of mind they bring. Ant problem - they got it and left me with extra traps. Spider problem - they got it. Yellow Jacket and Wasps nests - they come out. I highly recommend their maintenance program...
We have used Guard Pest Control for at least 4 years and have been so grateful for the peace of mind they bring. Ant problem - they got it and left me with extra traps. Spider problem - they got it. Yellow Jacket and Wasps nests - they come out. I highly recommend their maintenance program because it gives me peace of mind and I know myself well enough that I would be spending WAY TOO MUCH TIME AND MONEY myself if I tried all the silly DIY's....because I used to try those. Those google pest DIYs generally don't work and aren't always easy. Guard Pest Control has quality employees, very responsive and always friendly. I trust them to protect my family, kids, cats, and ducks.

Always great service. Professional, knowledgeable and always reliable. We have used the service at our home for a few years and now our parents.

UPDATE: Everything was all clear and they let us know to contact them if anything else showed up. Would work with them again! ORIGINAL POST (2 MONTHS PRIOR): Still in the process of working with them, so I’ll update when we’re done, but here’s the current feelings! There was a bedbug...
UPDATE: Everything was all clear and they let us know to contact them if anything else showed up. Would work with them again! ORIGINAL POST (2 MONTHS PRIOR): Still in the process of working with them, so I’ll update when we’re done, but here’s the current feelings! There was a bedbug sighting in my home which I think got picked up from the train as it’s a frequent mode of transport for most people I live with. My Aging and Disabilities case manager sent a referral and said to wait for them to call me. Olivia did, and helped me set up a date and time and kept me updated when things were running behind. Christian came by and was able to check all the soft furniture in the area it was found. He also set traps and showed me how to keep an eye on them. Olivia texted to get more information on what sorts of mattresses and bed springs the household uses so she could send a quote to my ADS case manager on how much it will be to cover and treat if more bedbugs are found. So far, it’s looking like we’re in the clear. But if things need to be treated, I’m pretty confident in this crew. Thanks!

I will give it a few more days and see, I want to clean my chimney out. There 60 day warranty also gives peace of mind that it's taken care, also the price I was qouted is what I Paid. Thanks Jeff

Pest Control Solutions in Kenmore

Carpenter Ant Control

Carpenter ants are attracted to damp or decaying wood, where they tunnel through and create galleries that can weaken your home over time. While they don't consume the wood, their presence often signals moisture issues like leaks or water damage. In Kenmore, WA, wooded surroundings and moisture-prone areas can increase the risk of hidden infestations if left untreated.

DIY treatments often fail because carpenter ants build nests that are hidden deep within walls or wood structures. Professional pest control uses targeted treatments, accurate species identification, and moisture management to eliminate colonies and prevent them from returning.

Look for:

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

Early professional intervention helps protect your home from costly structural damage.

Odorous House Ant Control

Odorous house ants are a common nuisance, especially during spring and early summer. These small black ants often invade kitchens and bathrooms, trailing along baseboards and countertops. They're known for the strong, rotten coconut-like smell they release when crushed, something many homeowners in Kenmore, WA quickly notice.

They thrive in damp environments and often form multiple colonies both indoors and outdoors, making them difficult to eliminate with simple DIY methods.

Why professional treatment is important:

  • Accurate identification of the ant species
  • Strategic bait placement indoors and outdoors
  • Addressing moisture and food sources
  • Sealing entry points to prevent re-infestation

Without professional help, store-bought sprays and baits usually provide only temporary relief. Long-term control requires a customized approach based on local conditions.

Rodent Control

Rodents like mice, rats, moles, and voles are far from harmless. These pests constantly search for food and shelter and can carry diseases that pose risks to your household. Infestations can grow quickly, and in Kenmore, WA, rodents can cause serious damage before they're even noticed. Guard's rodent control services focus on eliminating active infestations, sealing entry points, and correcting 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

Taking early action with professional help helps protect your home and family from health risks and structural damage.

Wasp Nest Removal

Wasps are not pests you want near your home. Stinging insects like wasps and hornets can become dangerous if they build nests nearby, especially when disturbed. With their aggressive behavior and constant activity, they can quickly become a concern for homeowners in Kenmore, WA.

Our exterminators specialize in:

  • Identifying wasp and hornet nests
  • Removing nests safely with minimal risk
  • Implementing prevention measures to protect your family
Bed Bug Exterminator

As a dependable bed bug exterminator, we deliver:
