Carpenter Ants
Throughout the U.S. and North America, including the Hawaiian Islands, there is a group of ants we call Carpenter Ants, and the workers in this group generally are some of the largest ants you will encounter.
Odorous House Ants
This pest is active all year with activity mostly indoors during winter, and indoors and outdoors from March to October. This single-node ant may easily be confused with the Argentine Ant.
Hobo Spiders
The hobo spider, Tegenaria agrestis, is a moderately large spider of the family Agelenidae which is indigenous to Western Europe and was introduced into the northwestern United States (Port of Seattle).
Stink Bugs
The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (Halyomorpha halys) was first discovered in Oregon in 2004. This pest is an invasive species that is native to China.
Boxelder Bug
The Boxelder Bug is a highly specialized insect that feeds almost exclusively on Maple-type (broad leaf) tree seeds. Although this pest feeds on trees, they are relatively harmless.
Yellow Jackets
Yellow Jackets are a paper wasp that makes a football-shaped nest either on the eaves of our homes or in the ground with numbers estimated at 25,000 at maturity.
Paper Wasps
Paper Wasps like building their nests in the corners of door frames and awnings, as well as deck furniture, swings, garages and eaves. So, making sure these are kept closed or stowed when not in use helps prevent paper wasps around your home.
Rodents
There are a large variety of rodents living on all continents except Antarctica. We are mainly concerned with rats and mice because of their habit of invading our homes or businesses.
Gophers
Pocket Gophers are a subterranean rodent native to North and Central America, and are widely considered the most destructive underground animal in your yard. They survive below the surface by creating a series of tunnels to travel, sleep, eat and breed.
Moles
These creatures swim through the earth closer to the surface than Gophers and leave a destructive wake of tunnels between 6 and 12 inches from the top. Moles are massive eaters and can consume their weight in worms, beetles, snails or other bugs in a day.
