Eastside Exterminators

As housing developments grow increasingly common, patches of forests in residential areas are being cleared at a greater rate than ever before. As a consequence, wildlife is more and more likely to be displaced from their natural habitat. With forests diminishing all around them, these animals are bound to be confused, disoriented, and a little bit desperate. Unfortunately, this means that large wildlife pests are that much more likely to seek shelter in usual places—such as your attic or crawlspace.

If you have a raccoon setting up shop in your home, you need to contact a company that specializes in Eastside raccoon control immediately. Rabies and other various diseases are always a concern with any animal living in the vicinity of you or your family.

Keep in mind, a raccoon running outside in the daytime is not automatically infected with rabies. Even so, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Use extreme caution and call the professionals, even if the animal seems to be behaving normally.

Each city has its own unique set of pests and problems, and Issaquah is no exception. While fall is not the most dangerous time for pests (because of the impending winter cold), Issaquah pest control is still needed for some of these autumn irritators.

-Grubworms: Most active in spring and fall, grubworms are particularly troublesome for places where the freeze doesn’t set in until December. They actually survive through the winter, so be aware that grubworms need to be addressed in every season.

-Fall Armyworms: Mostly interested in eating leaves, these worms are most active from September until the first frost. They feed at night, so their presence usually isn’t known until it’s too late.

-Sod Webworms: Another yearlong pest, sod webworms are a headache mainly because they are so small, so most people don’t spot them until damage has been done. Then, to the surprise of the homeowner, they emerge as moths in the summer. Unfortunately, most means to kill sod webworms also kill other non-pests such as butterflies. The best way to defend against this pest is by keeping your lawn clear of leaves, mulch, or grass clippings.
