Know what you're dealing with

The Tri-Cities' hot, dry climate breeds a specific set of pests. Here's who we see most — and what our recurring plans do about them.

Dangerous

Black Widows

Concentrated in warm, dry eastern Washington. We treat foundations, window wells, garages and clutter zones where they hide.

Common

Hobo Spiders

A PNW staple. The bite scare is largely a myth, but nobody wants them indoors — we cut off entry points.

Seasonal

Boxelder Bugs

Swarm sunny south walls every fall and slip inside through cracks. A perimeter barrier keeps them out.

Seasonal

Stink Bugs

Including the invasive brown marmorated stink bug. Overwinters in homes — we seal and treat before they settle in.

Year-round

Ants

Odorous house ants, pavement ants and structure-damaging carpenter ants. Trails traced back to the colony.

Summer

Yellowjackets & Wasps

Peak in late summer. Nest removal plus eave and soffit treatment so they don't rebuild.

Fall/Winter

Mice, Rats & Voles

Move indoors as it cools. Exclusion and monitoring, plus vole control for lawns and landscaping.

Common

Wolf Spiders

Big, fast ground hunters — harmless but alarming. Perimeter treatment keeps them out of living spaces.

Spring/Summer

Earwigs

Thrive in irrigated desert landscaping and mulch. Treated at the perimeter and entry points.

Indoor

Cockroaches

German and other roaches — a top commercial and kitchen concern. Baiting and sanitation guidance included.

Indoor

Silverfish

Moisture-loving and destructive to paper and fabric. Treated in bathrooms, basements and storage.

Specialty
