Florence, Oregon Pest Control & Exterminator Services
Dunes, river and ocean fog. Pests like it here too.
We love Florence. Old Town on the Siuslaw, the dunes south of town, the rhododendrons every spring. Unfortunately, pests love it too. Carpenter ants move into damp wood, rats work the riverfront, and mice come inside with the winter storms. We help Florence families get pest-free and stay that way.

Common local pests
The pests Florence families deal with most
Carpenter ants, rats and mice keep us busiest here. Ocean fog and rain keep wood damp most of the year, which is exactly what carpenter ants want. The Siuslaw riverfront gives rats cover, and winter storms push mice indoors.
Ants
Carpenter ants love the wet wood the coast leaves behind, around decks, siding and windows.
Moles & gophers
Your yard shouldn’t look like Swiss cheese. Wet Florence lawns are mole heaven.
Spiders
Giant house spiders show up every September. We keep them outside.
Wasps
By August the yellowjackets get bold. Let us do the part that involves getting stung.
Cockroaches
German roaches travel between apartments through walls and pipes (it’s never just 1).
Fleas
They ride in on pets, raccoons and possums under the house.
Bed bugs
Mattress seams, couches and baseboards. Every room they’ve reached gets treated.
Rodents
Rats work the Siuslaw riverfront, then move into homes when the storms hit. We seal them out, not just trap them.

Local pest story
On the coast, damp wood brings carpenter ants.
Florence sits where the Siuslaw River meets the ocean, with the dunes on one side and the forest on the other. Fog and rain keep wood damp most of the year, so siding, decks and window frames soften and carpenter ants move right in. Down on the river, rats find plenty of cover, and when the winter storms roll in, mice and rats look for a dry spot indoors.
So we look at what’s around your home first: the moisture, the wind, the trees and how the house is built. Then we treat the spots that matter, not the whole block.
-
Carpenter ants don't eat wood. They chew it out to make room for the nest.
-
A rat can squeeze through a hole the size of a quarter.
-
A mouse can slip through a gap about as wide as a pencil.
-
By late summer, one yellowjacket nest can hold thousands of workers.

What Oregon families say
Frequently asked questions
Why are carpenter ants so common in Florence?
Fog and rain keep wood damp for most of the year, and carpenter ants nest in damp wood. We find the nest, treat it at the source and point out the wet spots around decks, siding and windows that keep drawing them back.
Do you treat termites?
No, we don’t treat termites. A lot of Florence “termite” calls turn out to be carpenter ants, and those we do treat. We find the nest and treat it at the source.
Is your service safe for my pets?
Yes. Pet-friendly and family-safe isn’t a sales line for us. It’s how we pick our products and where we put them.
Do you cover Dunes City?
Yes. We cover Florence and the towns around it, including Dunes City and Glenada.
