Damp wood sources.

Is Bed Bug Activity Detectable in Lake Stickney, WA?

Although their name may suggest it, bed bugs don't only hide in our beds. They are parasitic pests that feed on human blood, so they hang around areas with high levels of human activity. That includes our beds, our furniture, and carpets, and many other places. If you're unsure about the presence of bed bugs in your space, there are some telltale signs to look out for:

Small bloodstains on bedding and linens.
Brown excrement spots and eggshell casings in active areas.
A linear formation of tiny, red bites that you didn't have the night before.
A strong, musky scent.

If you suspect any bed bug activity on your property, it's important to secure dependable pest protection. Bed bugs can spread rapidly, and one small pest can quickly turn into a serious, full-blown infestation. It's a total nightmare that you don't want to face alone. That's why the team at Guard Pest Control is here to help. We offer effective bed bug control services and treatments that promise to eliminate all bed bug activity from your property. Get in touch with us today to discuss your bed bug control needs. We look forward to your call.

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.

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.

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...

We had hornets that had gone under flashing by chimney and worked there way into attic, could hear them up there. Christian came out on-time/ same day service and sprayed them in the air coming and going from flashing area, within 24 hours no noise in attic and 48 hours later not seeing any hornets. 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

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!

Guard has been very responsive and helpful with all of our pest issues. I can't say whether or not they have the best prices but it always feels reasonable.

Carpenter Ant Control

Carpenter ants often settle in damp or decaying wood, carving out tunnels that can weaken the structure of your home over time. While they don't consume the wood, their presence is usually a sign of moisture issues like leaks or water damage. Homes in Lake Stickney, WA, can be especially vulnerable if these conditions go unnoticed.

DIY methods rarely solve the problem since carpenter ants create hidden nests that are hard to locate. Professional pest control uses targeted treatments, proper species identification, and moisture correction to eliminate colonies and stop them from coming back.

Look for:

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

Early professional intervention helps prevent costly structural damage.

Odorous House Ant Control

Odorous house ants are a frequent nuisance, especially during spring and early summer. These small black ants commonly invade kitchens and bathrooms, moving along baseboards and countertops. They get their name from the strong, rotten coconut-like smell they release when crushed, something many homeowners in Lake Stickney, WA, quickly notice.

They thrive in moist conditions and often form multiple colonies both inside and outside the home, making them difficult to eliminate with basic DIY treatments.

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 offer 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 spread diseases that put your household at risk. Infestations can grow quickly, and in Lake Stickney, WA, rodents can cause serious damage before they're even noticed. Guard's rodent control services are designed to remove active infestations, block entry points, and correct 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 professional help helps protect your home and family from health risks and structural damage.

Identifying wasp and hornet nests
