Lake Oswego Pest Control & Exterminator Services
Tall firs, shady yards and a lake in the middle. Pests feel right at home.
We love Lake Oswego. The lake, the trails through Tryon Creek, a summer evening at George Rogers Park. Unfortunately, pests love it too. Carpenter ants come out of the big firs, roof rats climb in from the trees, and spiders move in every fall. We help Lake Oswego families get pest-free and stay that way.

Common local pests
The pests Lake Oswego families deal with most
Carpenter ants, roof rats and spiders keep us busiest here. A lot of Lake Oswego homes sit under tall firs with shady, damp yards. Carpenter ants nest in the wet wood, and roof rats use the branches to reach the roof.
Ants
Carpenter ants nest in damp, shaded wood around decks, eaves and windows.
Moles & gophers
Your yard shouldn’t look like Swiss cheese. Wet Lake Oswego 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
Roof rats run the tree branches straight to your roof. We seal them out, not just trap them.

Local pest story
Big trees are beautiful. They're also a bridge for pests.
Lake Oswego is known for its trees. Many homes sit under tall Douglas firs, back up to Tryon Creek or are tucked into the hills above the lake. That means shade, moisture and branches touching the roof, which is exactly what carpenter ants and roof rats look for.
So we look at what’s around your home first: the trees, the moisture, the slope of the lot and how the house is built. Then we treat the spots that matter, not the whole block.
-
Roof rats are climbers. They come in through the attic, not the front door.
-
Carpenter ants don't eat wood. They chew it out to make room for the nest.
-
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 do Lake Oswego homes get carpenter ants?
Shade and moisture. Homes under big firs stay damp, and carpenter ants nest in wet wood around decks, eaves and windows. We find the nest, treat it at the source and point out the damp spots that keep drawing them back.
Do you treat termites?
No, we don’t treat termites. A lot of Lake Oswego “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 West Linn and Dunthorpe?
Yes. We cover Lake Oswego and the areas around it, including West Linn, Dunthorpe and Stafford.
