CARPENTER ANT REMOVAL SERVICES EXPLAINED BY EXTERMINATORS

Carpenter ants may become household pests by foraging for food indoors. The diet of carpenter ants includes living and dead insects, meat, fats and sweets of all kinds, including honeydew from aphids and nectar from plants. Foraging workers collect all the food for the colony and may travel up to 100 yards from the nest in search of food. Foraging activity is highest at night. Carpenter ants are one of the most common species of ants in the Seattle area and typically live in large colonies that consist of a main nest and many satellite nests. The majority of satellite nests are found in spaces between walls, in hollow doors, in spaces around windows and in foam panels. The ants are drawn to moist wood that has become soft due to age, moisture damage or the effects of termites and other insects. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – AM/PM Exterminators offers services that are saving Seattle area residents thousands of dollars in repairs due to black carpenter ant damage. An infestation of carpenter ants will often go unnoticed until it is rather large. At this point, Washington area homeowners will often see piles of wood debris in areas near nests and may even hear the ants moving inside of wood structures. Nearly always, winged black ants will be seen inside of the home when the infestations become large. While carpenter ants do not eat wood, their burrowing habits can wreak havoc on the interior structure of homes, causing damage that diminishes a house’s value and requires costly repairs. Because black carpenter ant colonies are usually not detected until they are large, most homes will suffer at least mild damage due to a colony. Some homeowners will try to eliminate ants using chemical pesticides and boric acid sold in stores, but often, these methods of black carpenter ant removal are ineffective. As Daniel Hunts of AM/PM Exterminators explains, “The problem with DIY black ant removal products is that homeowners rarely are able to locate the main nest on their own. They may be able to successfully eliminate a satellite nest, but when the main nest is left untreated, the ants will just return or enter another part of the home. In order to completely get rid of black carpenter ants, it’s necessary to treat the main nest and all satellite nests.” With their professional ant removal services, AM/PM Exterminators successfully eliminates the entire colony of black carpenter ants from the home and the surrounding areas. “We don’t just treat the ants and leave. We also determine what entry point the ants used to get inside and ensure that our clients understand how the infestation happened, so that they can take steps to prevent reinfestation,” Hunts stated. When black carpenter ants are treated promptly, the risk of structural damage is diminished, so homeowners who suspect the presence of black carpenter ants are urged to seek professional assistance. AM/PM Exterminators is currently offering black carpenter ant inspection and removal services throughout King County, Washington, serving the cities of Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Renton, Everett, Bothell and Issaquah.

EXTERMINATORS ASSISTS WITH ANT INFESTATIONS DUE TO SEATTLE WEATHER

The Common types of black ants to watch out for in Seattle Washington Carpenter ants: Carpenter ants are our largest, native ant species. Pavement ants: These small little black ants are brown to black in color and typically 1/8th of an inch in length. Odorous house ant: These small ants are dark brown to black in color and range from 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch in length. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – AM/PM Exterminators is currently providing black ant removal services for residences and Commercial businesses in the area that are experiencing infestations due to shifts in the weather. The Problem with Black Ant Infestations Black ants are one of the most common insect pests found in homes or businesses in the Seattle area. These ants are roughly .1 inch long and tend to live in large colonies around patios and driveways of Seattle homes. During the summer, ants will often be content to remain outside, but as the weather begins to shift with the arrival of fall, ants will often begin to explore, looking for food. Scout ants find their way into homes or business buildings, and if they manage to find crumbs, grease and other debris, they will attract more ants, leading to infestations indoors. While most black ants are not harmful to property, humans or pets, they are a nuisance, and most homeowners want to eliminate them as soon as they are spotted. Professional Ant Removal Services Often, ant infestations in Seattle arise from both an outdoor colony and an indoor one. Most Business or homeowners are not equipped to locate colonies to treat ants, making it necessary to seek out professional ant removal services. AM/PM Exterminators offers a complete ant removal service that involves locating colonies both indoors and outdoors and completely eliminating both. This not only eliminates the present indoor infestation, but it also greatly reduces the likelihood of ants returning in the near future. Maintenance packages are also available to periodically treat for black ants and prevent their return.

The ant removal pest control professionals who work for the company fully inspect homes and identify areas like cracks in walls or gaps under windows that ants can exploit. By identifying these problems and recommending solutions for repairs, the exterminators help homeowners or commercial businesses work proactively to keep ants out. Cost of Ant Removal Many consumers put off calling a professional exterminator due to concerns about costs. Homeowners who want to save money may try to rely on DIY ant removal methods, many of which are ineffective. Explained Daniel Hunts, owner of AM/PM Exterminators, “We get a lot of calls from homeowners who have tried several times to get rid of black ants with ant traps and liquid ant killers. Once we quote them the price for our services, they usually say that it’s similar to what they ended up paying for the DIY products that they purchased. That’s why we strongly urge homeowners to call us first.” In addition to providing black ant exterminator service for the greater Seattle area, AM/PM Exterminators also serves the Kirkland, Issaquah, Mercer island, Bellevue, Woodinville, Bothell, Redmond, Kent and Renton areas.

Rodent pest Control specializes in rodent control and removal to help you get rid of rodents in homes or businesses. A variety of lethal and non-lethal techniques, including exclusion, habitat modification, and trapping are available that may effectively control these pests.About mice extermination costs, tips on rats control prices and getting free pest control estimates.The house mouse and field mouse are the most common mice found in homes and structures. They are usually around three inches long and weigh less than an ounce, quite a bit smaller than rats. They can have up to a 12 litters a year, and up to 12 in a litter with a short gestation period of 3 weeks. The female enters a postpartum estrus period 18 hours after giving birth and can breed again. The females can breed up to 7 times a year. Because their reproductive rates are such, they can move into an area and quickly multiply and cause major damage to structures and crops. Rats like squirrels, love to chew, and will chew on houses, wires, ducts, and pipes. Rats are very opportunistic feeders and will invade the living space looking for food. Their reproductive potential is higher than rats but they rarely live longer than a year in the wild. They behave similarly to rats and can pose the same problems as rats. Control and exclusion methods need to be done properly to prevent infestations.Identifying and (Rodent-proofing) Exclusion is important in mice or rat control.Two or three visits from the pest control company are typical for mice or rat removal and control. The first visit usually includes a thorough inspection, determining which rodent species are present, setting traps or bait stations and sealing potential entry points. On subsequent visits the pest control company should remove trapped rodents and reset the traps, and check to be sure the repairs to seal all entry points have been successful. Its important that some kind of maintenance is kept to maintain condition conducive to an infestations. Bait stations are a good way to reduce the population of mice and rats in the area. It’s important not to poison rodents in a structure as they will die inside walls or other hidden spaces and cause long-term odor and insect problems. Rats are becoming a very large problem in seattle. They have adapted to living with humans and love to occupy attics and crawl spaces.  How much does it cost to get rid of an infestation of mice or ratsA thorough inspection by a Rodent control Specialist is required in order to determine an estimate for rats extermination. Price quotes will vary depending on the square footage of the infestation. The total cost will probably run between $300 – $500 to remove all the mice and seal the entry holes shut, and it may seem more up-front than a low monthly deal, if done right, that will be the end of worrying about mice. This cost will vary a great deal, depending on how many repairs are needed, what part of the country you live in, how many mice are in the attic, how many service trips are necessary and  if you need rodent damage cleanup.Rats can transmit many diseases to humans, including Salmonellosis food poisoning and Weils disease. Rats will eat or contaminate food intended for humans. It is estimated that up to 5% of food produced worldwide is lost as a result of rodent activity. They can cause damage to buildings and other structures by gnawing and burrowing. Estimated Cost is the price charged for initial inspection and treatment, not including follow-up calls, based on the average or range of at least two advertise professional pest control services. Cost to hire an exterminator varies greatly by region. Try  to get as many free estimates from local pest exterminator, The expectation of rodent control Service Include; Inspection, Exclusion work&Trap; Setup This is the initial process for all rat control jobs. It covers the general business and insurance that protect a customer and ensure quality. It includes a scheduled visit to homes, an extremely detailed inspection of the building&roof, as well as a detailed attic and crawlspace inspection, plus setup of all the traps throughout the building. 2-3 more trips are required to check all traps, remove all trapped rats, and monitor the situation. We will know that the problem is solved once all of the scratching noises have stopped, no new rat sign (droppings, gnawing, etc.) is present, and no new rats are being trapped. The typical rat control job requires 2 of these return trips.Entry Point RepairsMice and rats often find easy access to garage areas through open doors or under and beside poor-fitting garage doors. Once in the garage, they may gain entry into the main structure along electrical lines, pipes, poorly sealed fire wall sheathing, or around furnace ducts, hot water heaters, or laundry drains.If rodents are able to reach the attic, they may travel from room to room or unit to unit through openings for pipes, ducts, and wiring. Attics provide excellent harborage in winter, spring, and fall, but are often too hot during summer. Common attics, basements, or raised foundations in condominiums and apartments are a frequent source of rodent infestation.Poorly installed light-gauge roof vent, allowing easy access of rodents between roofing and base of vent. Gaps  large enough to allow rats and pigeons to enter.Once a rodent gets into the attic, fireplace void is often easy because of poorly fitted sheeting or metal collars. Entry to the inside of the fireplace is made from the damper area or cool air and warm air returns on units that provide for air circulation around the firebox. When the fireplace is in use, the heat will prevent rodent entry. If the outside cannot be sealed, glass doors that seal the burn area are recommended to prevent rodent entry throughout the year. Cracked and missing mortar, or poorly fitted siding or plaster, may allow entry through brick or rock fireplaces.Gaps or flaws in foundations and slabs, or where the wall framing meets the foundation or slab floor, may provide large enough openings for rodent entry. Older buildings commonly have cracked foundations, cracked plaster or mortar, warped siding, or broken and torn vent screens. Wood or masonite siding is especially vulnerable to warping and cracking near corners and around the base of the building. Old, unused holes where utilities formerly entered the structure are also common, especially in raised foundation and basement homes. Window screens are often left off or fit poorly in older, low-cost apartments and homes, allowing rodent entry from exterior utility lines and pipes running along exterior walls. Runways going to window ledges are often observed on stucco and brick walls and in ornamental plantings next to buildings. Every single situation, and every single building is unique. Most detailed & secure repairs will keep them out for good.  Some buildings need only minimal repairs, for a minimal cost. However, some buildings do require extensive repair work, and will be priced accordingly. Attic Crawlspace Rodent CleanupRodents leave quite a bit of biohazardous waste in attics, crawlspace and home, in the form of droppings and urine also damaging insulation. Their body oils and other odors serve as a chemical signal that will attract rats for years to come. Eliminate this odor with our attic or Crawlspace cleanup service. Cleaning the droppings and treat the affected area with a decontaminating and deodorizing agent.  Price depends upon level of contamination and area treated. A good pest controo service will provide an estimate prior to work.Seattle Commercial pest exterminators specialize in several Commercial rodent control services, including rat removal and mouse control, rodent damage control, rodent management, rodent prevention, residential and commercial rodent control.

EXTERMINATORS INSIGHT ON THE SUGAR ANTS CRISIS IN SEATTLE WASHINGTON

Pests, such as sugar ants, are attracted to moisture. To prevent black sugar ants, eliminate standing water around the home. Sometimes sugar ants use these branches to get into homes. Make sure that there are no cracks or little openings around the building. Ensure firewood and building materials are not stored next to the home because sugar ants like to build nests in stacks of wood. Indoors, clean up spills and crumbs on counter tops and floors. An introduced, soil-nesting species of ants, is widely believed that pavement ants were transported to the U.S. in the holds of European merchant vessels during the 1700s to 1800s. The ships were filled with soil to provide weight on the overseas voyage. Once in port, the soil was removed, and replaced with goods to carry back across the Atlantic. What do sugar ants eat?  The diet of pavement ants includes a wide range of different food sources, as the insects are known for eating virtually anything available. Pavement ants feed on subterranean termites and other soil-dwelling insects, nuts and seeds, bread, meats, grease, and sweets like honey and sugar. The indiscriminate insects travel as far as 30 feet from the nest to forage and leave a chemical trail that leads other members of the colony to the food source. Sugar ants Reproduce in large numbers Like many other ant species prevalent in seattle washington, pavement ants produce winged males and females that emerge in the spring to mate. Also known as swarmers, the winged ants are exclusively responsible for reproducing and creating new colonies. After mating, winged females look for a suitable place to lay eggs and establish a colony. The newly mated queens typically lay the eggs in soil protected by pavement, concrete, or rocks. Pavement ants generally take about two or three months to complete all stages of development. While reproductive swarming naturally occurs in the spring, colonies living in and around heated indoor spaces may produce swarmers and mate at any time throughout the year. The life expectancy of a typical adult worker pavement ant is several years. Problems Caused by sugar Ants While sugar ants are not known to cause structural damage or major health problems, the ease and frequency with which the insects enter homes in seattle washington can become a nuisance to area residents. Because of their willingness to eat almost anything, sugar ants can contaminate and ruin a variety of pantry staples and other food items when foraging. The chemical trails created by foraging sugar ants enable the rest of the colony to locate the food source, resulting in the emergence of unsightly hordes/trails of ants and causing further contamination. Throughout the year, indoor nests of pavement ants can produce winged reproductives that swarm by windows and other light sources, creating an unwelcome sight and potentially forming new colonies in or in areas around a structure. Signs of sugar ants Infestation  The presence of foraging workers or reproductive swarmers flying around or inside is a strong indicator of a sugar ant infestation, especially during colder months. Small piles of soil particles that look like sand also indicate the existence of a sugar ant colony, as the insects push dirt and debris out the entrance of the nest as they construct or expand the underground colony. The piles are commonly found straddling cracks in the  driveway or sidewalk. Prevention and How to Get Rid of sugar Ants Because sugar ants often live beneath the foundation of a house, homeowners need to make sure that all external cracks and other small openings are tightly sealed. Residents should also keep potential nesting sites, like piles of leaves and wood, safely away from the house. Kitchen areas within the home should remain free of crumbs, grease, and standing water. Homeowners also need to store food items in sealed canisters, rinse out food and beverage containers before throwing them away, and take the trash out on a regular basis. If an infestation problem arises, contact a pest control specialist with the ability to identify the ant species and implement an effective course of action. Benefits of Professional sugar Ant Pest Control Exclusionary measures are the best treatment for sugar ants whose nests are located outdoors. Sealing all cracks and crevices with caulk will eliminate the entrances used by foragers, keeping them outside. A vigorous application of rubbing alcohol will also remove any remnants of the ant’s pheromone trails, and further foraging can be discouraged by promptly storing or disposing of greasy and sweet foods. Nests that are either inside the home or in other problematic locations can be treated using baiting systems. These pesticides should be used with care, away from children and pets; they deliver a slow acting poison to foraging ants, which when returned to the nest, spreads throughout the colony and will eventually exterminate all ants. A ant exterminator professional has the education, equipment and skills necessary to effectively address a sugar ant problem. Finding and treating the ant colony can be challenging, especially if the main colony is hidden somewhere outside in the lawn. A ant control service professional provides their expertise to identify and determine the best possible solution to resolve the pavement ant infestation.

How to spot signs pests before they becomes a problem

When you spot Pest signs does not necessarily mean the complete elimination or eradication of a pest. Early detection of pests can mean savings of time and possibly dollars in managing the pests. Also, an early start allows you more options for managing these pests. It can mean controlling pest numbers before they build up to a point at which they can cause you real problems. Pest control decisions are based on need and effectiveness to solve pest problems in the least toxic manner possible. You must anticipate and prepare for pest problems before they occur. If you do end up with a pest problem, often nonchemical methods may be used to control these pests. Sometimes you can simply remove them or remove the source of the problem. In some situations, if preventive measures or nonchemical ways of controlling pests do not work, you may need to use a pesticide to prevent pests from reaching economic injury levels. Pest control is a series of steps that must be carefully thought out ahead of time. Each step depends upon the given situation, the given pest and your given ability, both physically and financially, to accomplish all of the steps. Use of various combinations of pest control methods, biological, cultural, and chemical in a compatible manner to achieve satisfactory control and ensure favorable economic and environmental consequences. You may find that natural enemies will often take care of pests on their own before they ever become a problem. Correct identification of any pest or pests you find is very important because, for instance, not all insects you see in your house, lawn or garden are pests. Sometimes two different pests may look alike to you but may require entirely different pest control extermination management strategies to control them. You must be able to predict the kinds of pests that potentially infest homes, lawns and gardens, so you can take preventive or corrective actions in these places. Good exterminators keep these strategies in mind to prevent pests from ever building up to a level where they may cause you trouble. When travelling to avoid Bed bugs, fleas know your surrounding including your property especially in hotels that don't look right.

Keeping your lawn healthy and growing pest-resistant varieties in your gardens to prevent or reduce the chance of infestations of harmful lawn and garden pests. Removing pet food overnight to keep pests such as cockroaches, Rodents like rats, mice and ants from invading in search of food. Weeding around your garden and your home to remove cover for insect or animal pests. Watering your lawn in the morning instead of the evening to reduce the chance of turf diseases.

Pest control Tips

General sanitation can do much towards reducing any type of rodent infestation by eliminating food sources: • Secure garbage in proper rodent-proof containers. • Store materials properly. • Harvest citrus and other fruit in a timely manner and pick up fallen fruit promptly. • Remove attractants such as pet foods, bird feeders, and standing water. Since these rats usually require free water, especially during hot, dry weather, any source of water can be a strong attractant. Eliminate or at least drastically reduce the protective cover that is crucial to these shy rodents: • Prune shrubs so that the ground below them is clearly visible. • Mow, trim, or remove ground cover plants that grow over one foot in height. • Stack firewood, lumber and other materials at least one foot away from walls and fences and at least 18 inches off the ground. • Prune the crowns of palm trees and remove dead fronds. Roof rats will easily travel along vines, tree branches, fences, and utility wires. Eliminating these aerial pathways can dramatically reduce roof rat travel: • Eliminate or severely prune back vines growing on buildings and fences. • Remove tree limbs that overhang roofs. • Prune trees so that the branches do not touch fences, overhead wires, or the branches of adjacent trees. • Prune the skirts of trees so that the branches do not hang down to the ground. ...read more

Rodents: Facts, Identification & Control 206 571 7580

Rats Instincts:Rats are instinctively wary of rat control measures such as traps and bait, and colonize in attics, burrows, under concrete and porches, in wall voids and other hard to reach places. Disease:Rats can harbor and transmit a number of serious diseases. They can also introduce disease-carrying parasites such as fleas, lice and ticks into your home. Mice Access:They invade your home seeking food, water and warmth. Without mouse control intervention, one pair of mice may produce 200 offspring in four months. Contamination:Each mouse can contaminate much more food than it eats. ...read more

Termite Damage and Real Estate Transactions 425 440 0966

When buying a new home,termite damageshould always be a consideration. Termites are widespread in the United States and the damages caused by an infestation are rarely covered by insurance policies. Potential buyers should not sign contracts or purchase real estate until a termite inspector has been to the property and provided them a termite report. Termite inspectors are trained to recognize existing termite damage that homeowners and real estate agents may not recognize as threats. It is the seller's responsibility to address existing infestations and damages to structures. Termite inspectors also issue a report outlining potential threats for future infestation, such as damp basements, piles of wood, wood to ground contact, or fallen trees near the home. Buyers are responsible for eliminating these threats. Termite inspectors commonly offer termite bonds to potential buyers. Termite bonds are referred to as "termite insurance." Buyers pay an extermination company a retainer to receive annual termite inspections. The retained extermination company will then treat any future infestations at no additional cost to the buyer. It is wise to purchase a termite bond when purchasing real estate ...read more

Gaspar's Construction

5.0

By Bill M at Customer Lob

Gaspar's Design & Construction did a variety of work for me, some of it involving carpentry. For example, they extended a deck, built a railing, corrected some rot, and installed some new doors. They also painted a divided-light window frame (particularly tricky) and improved the looks of a very old part of the house with some patchwork remodeling. The employees they have are particularly good at what they do. They are trustworthy. They keep their noses to the grindstone and don't promise one thing, then go off and do another. They meet their commitments. ...read more

Gaspar's Construction

We had a great experience with Gaspar's Design & Construction. They did a complete kitchen remodel for us. For about $100,000 dollars they took it down to the bare bones, and I have very few complaints about the experience. I've done a lot of different things on my house, and my dad has done some work with me too. I'm a pilot, so I'm gone a lot. We also have young children, so really having a standalone operation was a priority. I've used companies in the past that I've had to monitor to make sure corners weren't cut, but that wasn't the case with Gaspar's. The lead guy came out, and he, Chris and Jen did the whole thing from start to finish. They did the design and building, so everyone from day one knew what we wanted. Everyone knew the conversations we had and the decisions we made from day one, so it was seamless from the design to the construction. Some structural issues came out from a previous remodel as they did the work. They gave us options and asked how we wanted to proceed, which I thought was really nice. I really didn't have to do anything, and I felt really relaxed during the whole process. I didn't have to juggle all the subcontractors, since Gaspar's handled all of that. We're totally happy with our new kitchen. It's great. They went out of their way to make sure we could live in the house while they work was ongoing. They respected nap times and cleaned up really well. They got the project done on time in two months. It was incredible they did given the things can go wrong with this type of project. Gaspar's is perfect for working with a family or someone who doesn't have time to manage a project. They responded to any questions we have. We've had a few issues after the work was done with the water filter, and they have been all over it. They stand by their product. We're really satisfied with them! They have a high quality product, which is on the higher end. But it's worth it! It was an all-around good experience! ...read more

We had two jobs with Gaspar's Design and Construction and both had the same service technician. The first job involved working with a plumbing contractor to install a sink which was a tricky job. The second was to fix a slider on the pocket door. The quality of the technician made us come back. The workers were thorough, showed up on time, and both projects ended up being under estimate. ...read more
