What Portland housing means for pest control
The Water Bureau is building a filtration plant to treat Bull Run water. Summer heat waves have become more common, and many older homes lack air conditioning.
The Big Pipe project, finished in 2011, cut combined sewer overflows to the Willamette River by 94 percent. Gaps around pipes, vents and doors are common entry points in homes of mixed age.
Rain drives ants and rodents indoors looking for dry shelter. Older homes with basements can take on water during long rainy stretches.
Permits, licenses and your utility
Pesticide applicators working for hire in Oregon are licensed by the Department of Agriculture. Ask which products will be used and whether you need to leave the home or keep pets away. Keep the paperwork that lists the products used, the areas treated and the date of the next visit.

Questions from Portland residents
How do mice get into a house?
Mice can squeeze through gaps about the size of a dime. Gaps around pipes, vents and doors are common entry points worth sealing.
Which parts of Portland can you help with?
Our network reaches Irvington, Mount Tabor, Multnomah Village and Kenton and the rest of Portland (97201, 97202, 97203, 97204, 97205 and others). Whether a pro can come depends on their schedule, and we will let you know quickly either way.
Are ants in the kitchen a big deal?
Usually not dangerous, but they can be persistent. Clean up crumbs and seal entry points. If you keep seeing trails after cleaning, follow them back to the entry point and point it out to the tech.
Why do I see more bugs after a treatment?
Some treatments drive pests out of hiding for a few days. If activity keeps rising after a week or two, call the company back.
Whatever the job, the more detail you share up front, the smoother the first visit tends to go.
