About our service

Pests we treat around Gig Harbor
Pests in Gig Harbor
What we deal with most around Gig Harbor, WA
Gig Harbor's mild, wet weather suits a lot of insects. Carpenter ants are one of the most common problems, because they favor wood that has taken on moisture from leaky gutters, damp crawl spaces or a poorly drained deck. Termites can work quietly in the same kind of wood, and spiders build webs along eaves, window frames and garden sheds. Mosquitoes breed anywhere water sits, from clogged gutters to a forgotten bucket behind the garage.
Rodents are the other big concern. Mice and rats look for warmth and food as the rain returns in the fall, and they can squeeze through gaps around pipes, vents and garage doors that seem too small to matter. Wasps build nests under rooflines and in shrubs during the warm months, and fleas can turn up wherever pets or wildlife pass through the yard. A pest inspection early in the season helps catch these problems while they are still small.
Weather and pests
How Gig Harbor's weather affects pest activity
The figures below are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide and not a forecast. Gig Harbor gets about 42 inches of precipitation in a typical year, and November is the wettest month at roughly 7 inches. July highs average about 76 degrees, August is the warmest month, and the area sees only about 2 days a year at 90 degrees or above.
Winters are cool rather than harsh. January lows average around 36 degrees, December is the coldest month, and there are about 21 nights a year at or below freezing. Snowfall is essentially zero in a typical year. With so few hard freezes, insects and rodents are never forced into a long shutdown, which means activity tends to continue at a low level through the cold months instead of stopping altogether.
That pattern shapes a simple seasonal routine. In spring, clear gutters, check the base of the house for damp wood and start exterior treatment as ants become active. In summer, dump standing water and trim plants back from siding. As the wet months arrive in the fall, seal gaps around utility lines and garage doors before mice go looking for shelter. If you would like help fitting that routine to your property, ask for a free quote.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Gig Harbor
Ant treatment in Gig Harbor
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Gig Harbor, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Activity climbs quickly once spring temperatures arrive. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Gig Harbor
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Gig Harbor buildings offer plenty of all three. They can be a year-round issue. Our exclusion-based approach combines inspection, sealing entry points, trapping and monitoring, so you fix the reason rodents got in, not only the rodents you can see.
Termite control in Gig Harbor
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. Regular moisture around foundations makes regular checks especially worthwhile. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Gig Harbor home is built.
Cockroach control in Gig Harbor
Cockroaches are hard to get rid of with store-bought sprays. We locate the hiding places, treat cracks, crevices and voids, and use monitoring so we know the treatment worked. It is a common request in Gig Harbor apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Gig Harbor
Most spiders are harmless, but nobody wants webs around the door or a spider in the basement. We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the perimeter and reduce the insects that spiders feed on, which keeps them from coming back.
Mosquito control in Gig Harbor
Gig Harbor's wet weather makes mosquitoes a real nuisance. We treat resting areas in your yard, help you find and remove breeding sites and schedule visits through the warm season so you can use your yard again.
