Pest control in
Lake Forest Park, WA.

The heavy shade keeps roofs and siding damp, which is exactly what carpenter ants look for when they start nesting in structural wood. Down by Lake Washington, the lakeside moisture feeds a steady supply of insects, so spiders set up on eaves and windowsills fast. We seal the roofline and crawl space against the roof rats and treat the perimeter so the spiders and ants stay outside.

That canopy is the whole story in Lake Forest Park. The branches touch the rooflines, and roof rats use them like a bridge straight into the attic without ever crossing the ground where a trap would catch them. The only thing that actually ends it is finding the roofline gaps they're using and sealing the house up tight.

The heavy shade keeps everything damp, which is exactly what carpenter ants look for when they pick framing to nest in, and the moisture down by the lake feeds the insects that draw spiders onto the eaves and windowsills. A treated perimeter handles the spiders and ants while the exclusion work shuts out the rats.
