what’s unique about pest control in the willamette valley?
Ideal environment.It doesn’t get much better: open fields, mountains, the Willamette River, and a mild, moist climate. It’s a dream environment for every pest.As good as nature is, every critter is still drawn to your home with its amazing food and hiding places. There’s a reason we find the population centers of Oregon State University, Albany, and Corvallis among the areas with the most pest pressure in the state.
Croplands & pests.The Willamette Valley has about 1 million acres of cropland. Half of that is grass seed production. All that cropland next to large population centers changes the pest situation. You’ll especially notice it when it’s harvest time; all the pests in the croplands are flushed out over a short time period. Guess where they go?With all that going on, you want the best when it comes to pest control. We pride ourselves in fast results that last, next level communication, and affordable pricing.

Willamette Valley Control Frequently Asked Questions
The Willamette Valley faces a wide variety of pests; some of the most common being ants, rats, spiders, moles, and fleas.
Most DIY products are simply not consistently effective. Often, they make the problem worse. In the case of ants, they tend to scatter the ants and cause them to split into two colonies instead of one! As much as the product, training and experience matters. Often homeowners will spray a product that’s actually a repellent, when a growth regulator would be much more effective. Our technicians use 30+ products and know when and where to treat for fast results that last.
Yes, where there’s water, there’s life. The Willamette River, along with other bodies of water in the area, brings an increase in pest activity – especially moles, rodents, and wasps.
Some of the most common spiders in the area are the orb-weaving spider, the giant house spider, the wolf spider, the hobo spider, and the black widow spider.
Most ant baits should not be left out all the time. Gels dry out quickly and become ineffective. Ants can develop a resistance to certain baits.
With that said, ask us about our ant stations. We can strategically place feeding stations around your yard to draw ants to them, instead of inside your house!
