GOT A PEST PROBLEMIN TIGARD?

Once inside a Tigard home, subterranean termites can compromise structural integrity within 3–8 years. Signs: buckling floors, doors that no longer close properly, mud spots on drywall.

Some Tigard ant species form supercolonies with hundreds of queens — DIY methods rarely eliminate them. Signs: persistent ants despite repeated spraying, multiple satellite nests in walls and yard, foraging at all hours.

Both species enter Tigard homes through utility line penetrations, gaps under doors, and damaged vents. Signs: grease marks at entry points, droppings along travel routes, gnaw damage on wooden structures.

Bed bug infestations in Tigard multi-unit buildings often require coordinated treatment across multiple apartments. Signs: bites only at night, bugs in headboard cracks, sweet musty odor in heavily infested rooms.

Bald-faced hornet nests can reach basketball size by August in Tigard — never attempt DIY removal of large nests. Signs: gray football-shaped nests hanging from trees, hornets actively defending the entrance.

Wolf spiders in Tigard don't build webs — they hunt at night and can be alarming to find indoors. Signs: large hairy spiders running across floors at night, found in basements and garages, eight eyes visible in flashlight beam.
