Tualatin Pest Control & Exterminator Services
The river keeps Tualatin green. It keeps pests busy too.
We love Tualatin. The river trail, the lake at the Commons, summer nights at the Community Park. Unfortunately, pests love it too. Rats travel the Tualatin River, moles tear up wet lawns, and carpenter ants move in from the greenways. We help Tualatin families get pest-free and stay that way.

What Tualatin families want
Pest control across Tualatin, from the river to the greenways
We work all of Tualatin (97062): Ibach, Byrom, Martinazzi Woods, Riverpark, Midwest and East Tualatin, the homes around the Commons and Bridgeport Village, and the newer streets out toward Basalt Creek. We also cover Tigard, Sherwood, Wilsonville and King City.
A lot that backs up to Hedges Creek has a different rat problem than a townhouse off Boones Ferry. So we look at your place first, then fix what your home actually needs instead of treating every house the same.

Common local pests
The pests Tualatin families deal with most
Rats, moles and carpenter ants keep us busiest here. The Tualatin River and the creeks and wetlands that feed it keep the ground wet and give rats cover. Neighborhoods backed up to the greenways get carpenter ants and spiders from the trees.
Ants
Carpenter ants move in from the greenways and nest in damp wood around decks and windows.
Moles & gophers
Your yard shouldn’t look like Swiss cheese. Wet Tualatin 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 follow the Tualatin River and its creeks into town. We seal them out, not just trap them.

Local pest story
Where there's water, there are pests.
Tualatin grew up along the river, and a lot of it still backs up to water: the river itself, Hedges Creek, and the wetlands and greenways in between. That’s great for walks. It also gives rats cover, keeps lawns soft enough for moles, and keeps wood damp enough for carpenter ants.
So we look at what’s around your home first: the water, the trees, the slope of the lot and how the house is built. Then we treat the spots that matter, not the whole block.
Rodent control in Tualatin
Rats follow the Tualatin River and Hedges Creek into town, then move uphill into crawlspaces, garages and attics when the rain starts. Trapping alone doesn’t fix it. We find the gap they’re using, seal it, trap what’s already inside and come back to make sure the scratching stopped. See how we handle rodents →
Mole control in Tualatin
Tualatin lawns stay soft most of the year, and moles love soft ground. One mole can dig 18 feet of tunnel in an hour, which is how a lawn looks fine on Friday and like Swiss cheese on Monday. We find the active runs, set professional traps and check back until the digging stops. Mole and gopher control →
Carpenter ant control in Tualatin
If your lot touches a greenway, carpenter ants are already in the trees. They move into damp wood around decks, windows and siding, and they don’t eat it; they hollow it out for the nest. We find the nest, treat it at the source with pet-safe products placed where the ants are and your dog isn’t, and show you what to dry out so they don’t come back. Ant control →

A rat can squeeze through a hole the size of a quarter.
-
A mole can dig up to 18 feet of new tunnel in an hour.
-
Carpenter ants don't eat wood. They chew it out to make room for the nest.

Frequently asked questions
Why do homes near the Tualatin River get rats?
Do you treat termites?
No, we don’t treat termites. A lot of Tualatin “termite” calls turn out to be carpenter ants, and those we do treat. We find the nest and treat it at the source.
