Portland Pest Control & Exterminator Services
Get back to pest-free living in Portland.
We love Portland. The rain, the old houses, the big trees on every street. Unfortunately, pests love it too. Rats work the rivers and rail lines, ants march in after every heavy rain, and bed bugs move between apartments. We help Portland families get pest-free and stay that way.

Common local pests
The pests Portland families deal with most
Rats keep us busier in Portland than anything else. Roof rats climb into attics from the trees and power lines, and Norway rats dig into crawlspaces. Add eight wet months, old homes and a lot of shared walls, and ants, bed bugs and roaches have it easy too.
Ants
Odorous house ants march in after every heavy rain. Spray the trail and they just split up.
Moles & gophers
Your yard shouldn’t look like Swiss cheese. Wet Portland 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 one.
Fleas
They ride in on pets, raccoons and possums living under the house.
Bed bugs
Mattress seams, couches and baseboards. Every room they’ve reached gets treated.
Rodents
Portland’s biggest pest problem. Roof rats in the attic, Norway rats in the crawlspace. We seal them out, not just trap them.

Local pest story
Why Portland homes feel like pest magnets
Rain drives pests inside. Old homes give them a way in. Rivers, rail lines and alleys give rats a highway from one block to the next. A few ants on the counter or scratching in the wall can turn into a real problem fast.
So we don’t treat every house the same. We look at moisture, trees, how your home is built and where the pests are getting in. Then we treat the spots that matter, not the whole block.
-
A rat can squeeze through a hole the size of a quarter.
-
Roof rats are climbers. They come in through the attic, not the front door.
-
Crush an odorous house ant and it smells like rotten coconut.
-
By late summer, one yellowjacket nest can hold thousands of workers.

Frequently asked questions
Why do Portland homes get so many rats?
Why are there so many bed bugs in Portland?
Lots of apartments, secondhand furniture, buses, trains and motels. Bed bugs hitch a ride and spread between units through shared walls. We treat every room they’ve reached, not just the bedroom.
