Common Pests We Treat in Lake Stevens

The specific climate of Snohomish County means local homes are susceptible to a unique variety of pests. Understanding what you are dealing with is the first step toward finding an effective, long-term solution that protects your property and family.

• Rodents (Rats & Mice): Due to the local climate, rodents constantly seek warm, dry shelter, especially during fall and winter. They can spread disease, contaminate food, and chew through wiring, creating fire hazards.
• Ants (Carpenter & Odorous): Carpenter ants pose a serious threat to the wooden structures of homes, excavating galleries for their nests. Odorous house ants are a major nuisance, creating large, persistent trails in kitchens and bathrooms.
• Spiders (Hobo & Giant House): While most local spiders are harmless, their presence is unnerving. Certain species, like the hobo spider, can be a concern for families as they move indoors seeking mates in late summer.
• Stinging Insects: Wasps and hornets build nests in eaves, decks, and wall voids, posing a painful threat to anyone who gets too close, especially children and pets.

Each of these pests requires a different strategy. Simply spraying a generic product often fails to address the root cause, such as the colony or the entry points, allowing the infestation to return.

Our Safety-First Pest Control Process

At Pure Guard Pest Control, our focus is on quality, safety, and clear communication. We are not about speed; we are about doing the job right. Our process is designed to be thorough and respectful of your home, family, and pets.

• We Listen & Inspect: We start by listening to your concerns. Our technicians then perform a detailed inspection to accurately identify the pest and determine the extent of the problem and how it started.
• A Clear, Honest Plan: We explain what we found and what we are doing next. We provide real advice without a sales pitch, so you feel confident. We do not push unnecessary contracts.
• Eco-Conscious Treatment: We use eco-friendly products that are specifically chosen for their effectiveness and their safety profile. We apply treatments meticulously, ensuring they are safe for kids and pets.
• Detail-Oriented Work: We do not rush. We take the time to address entry points, treat hidden areas, and ensure the problem is truly solved, not just glossed over.

We respect your space, clean up after ourselves, and stand behind our work. This methodical approach is the Pure Guard Pest Control difference and the key to providing long-lasting peace of mind.

Why DIY Pest Control Methods Often Fail

Over-the-counter pest products are often one-size-fits-all solutions. They may kill the pests you see, but rarely eliminate the hidden nest or colony. This allows the infestation to rebound, often stronger than before, leading to recurring frustration and expense.

Identifying the pest and its entry points requires training. Using the wrong product or applying it incorrectly is not only ineffective but can be hazardous. This is especially true for families with small children and curious pets who may access treated areas.

Professional technicians understand pest biology and seasonal behavior. They use a strategic, integrated approach to treat the source of the problem. This provides a truly effective, long-term solution that is safer and more thorough than DIY attempts.
