When we moved into our new home, we thought we were on cloud nine! But came nightfall, something reared its ugly head — a cockroach. Actually, lots of cockroaches! They were in the kitchen, hungrily eyeing the leftovers.
It was a nightmare. I had never seen so many roaches in my life! I wanted to move out immediately. But my ever reliable husband just moved us out and checked us into a hotel for the night. Then in the morning, he called Bothell pest control. By the next day, no more roach problems. It seemed that there was an open canal near our home and that’s what they had crawled out of. We had our agent fix that problem to. Now our nightmare house has turned back into our dream home.
When you move into a new house there a several things you should take into account; is it soundly built? Does it need a lot of work? Can you afford it? And, is it infested with any bugs or pests? It’s usually pretty obvious if the previous owners had pets. They will usually tell you, and if not, you will probably see pet hair and pet toys when you first look at the house.You can’t always make sure that those pets don’t leave behind fleas. This is especially common during the summer in houses that are carpeted. Carpeting provides the perfect nesting ground and hiding place for fleas. You may not even notice the infestation until you notice the red, itchy flea bites that appear all over your body. If you do have a flea problem you must call Seattle pest control. No one wants to live with fleas.

But it’s not worth it to risk the lives of your children and pets by using arsenic. Instead call the Bothell exterminator.

I have lived my whole life in Edmonds, Wash. I love this area and wouldn’t care to move anywhere else. This last summer was especially long and hot for the Pacific Northwest region. For the first time in my life I noticed there were bugs in my home.
This wasn’t just a few fruit flies or a moth, but countless tiny dark-colored bugs in my carpet and in my furniture. I finally figured out that the bugs were fleas. At first I was sickened by the apparent infestation. Soon, though, I realized I needed to get rid of these pests. I called the Edmonds exterminator and someone came out the next day. After a few days I didn’t see anymore bugs.
As housing developments grow increasingly common, patches of forests in residential areas are being cleared at a greater rate than ever before. As a consequence, wildlife is more and more likely to be displaced from their natural habitat. With forests diminishing all around them, these animals are bound to be confused, disoriented, and a little bit desperate. Unfortunately, this means that large wildlife pests are that much more likely to seek shelter in usual places—such as your attic or crawlspace.
If you have a raccoon setting up shop in your home, you need to contact a company that specializes in Eastside raccoon control immediately. Rabies and other various diseases are always a concern with any animal living in the vicinity of you or your family.

Each city has its own unique set of pests and problems, and Issaquah is no exception. While fall is not the most dangerous time for pests (because of the impending winter cold), Issaquah pest control is still needed for some of these autumn irritators.
-Grubworms: Most active in spring and fall, grubworms are particularly troublesome for places where the freeze doesn’t set in until December. They actually survive through the winter, so be aware that grubworms need to be addressed in every season.
-Fall Armyworms: Mostly interested in eating leaves, these worms are most active from September until the first frost. They feed at night, so their presence usually isn’t known until it’s too late.
-Sod Webworms: Another yearlong pest, sod webworms are a headache mainly because they are so small, so most people don’t spot them until damage has been done. Then, to the surprise of the homeowner, they emerge as moths in the summer. Unfortunately, most means to kill sod webworms also kill other non-pests such as butterflies. The best way to defend against this pest is by keeping your lawn clear of leaves, mulch, or grass clippings.
There has been some talk about termites developing the ability to eat concrete. Termites like a diet of dead plant material. Wood is one of the staple dietary choices of the termite. Termites can process this dead material and convert it into enough nutrients to sustain them.
Concrete, however, is usually made out of granite or limestone, sand, water, and other chemicals. There is nothing in this mixture that termites can use to sustain them. Just ask a Seattle pest exterminator if you want to get the facts about termites in your area.
Termites are classified under the taxonomic family Isoptera. They are a hive-minded species that have something that scientists call Swarm Intelligence. This means that there is no centralized organization for any of them. They operate simply out of a instinct for social needs.
Termite colonies can number from the hundreds to the millions. Unlike bee colonies that have one queen that gives birth to the next generation, termite colonies can have several queens when there is enough food to support a population. Eastside Exterminators are knowledgeable on termites and they can help when you are in need.
