Pests we treat around University Place
Pests in University Place
What we deal with most around University Place, WA
Carpenter ants take over softened wood, mice and rats work their way into garages and roof spaces when the weather turns, and spiders spin across doorways and window frames. Wasps and yellowjackets nest in eaves, shrubs and the ground near garden beds, and mosquitoes can breed in saucers, tires and clogged gutters.
Only about 21 nights a year fall to freezing or below in University Place, so pests get a long active season and the cold rarely interrupts them. Cockroaches and ants can also live comfortably in apartments and condominiums all year, since the heated interior of a multi-unit building stays warm regardless of what is happening outside. When one unit has a problem, neighbors often have the same one, so early reporting and building-wide treatment are the fastest way to solve it.
Weather and pests
How University Place's weather affects pest activity
University Place has cool, damp weather that rarely gets extreme. The July high averages about 76 degrees, August is the warmest month, and the January low averages near 36. A typical year brings roughly 42 inches of precipitation and essentially no snow, and about 2 days per year reach 90 degrees.
November is the wettest month, at about 7.2 inches, and December is the coldest. We draw these figures from 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a weather station nearby. They are a guide to the usual seasons, not a forecast, and a particular year can differ.
Reliable rain and mild winters keep pests moving all year. In autumn, heavy rain pushes rodents toward garages and crawl spaces, and in spring, damp soil and rising temperatures wake carpenter ants. Summer is short on true heat, but a few warm weeks are enough for ants and wasps to build up. A helpful yearly routine is to check drainage in spring, look for nests in summer, seal gaps in early fall, and inspect basements, attics and storage areas after the first cold snap.
How we fix it
Pest control services in University Place
Ant treatment in University Place
Ants are among the most common calls we get in University Place, 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 University Place
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and University Place 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 University Place
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 University Place home is built.
Cockroach control in University Place
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 University Place apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in University Place
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 University Place
University Place'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.
