Exterminator

One of the most satisfying parts of a pest control service? De-webbing! 🕸️✨

Removing spider webs isn’t just about making your home look cleaner, it’s an important step in reducing pest activity around your property.

Here’s why our technicians de-web during service:

🕷️ Removes existing spider webs and egg sacs.
🏡 Improves your home’s curb appeal.
🐜 Eliminates areas where insects can become trapped and attract even more spiders.
🔍 Makes it easier to spot new spider activity between visits.

In the Pacific Northwest, spiders become especially active as late summer transitions into fall, making routine de-webbing even more important this time of year.

And let’s be honest... watching years of cobwebs disappear in seconds is oddly satisfying. 😮‍💨✨

Your home deserves to look just as good as it feels, and we’re here to help keep it that way. ...

Wasps have quite the reputation.... but not everything you’ve heard is true. Let’s bust a few common myths! 👇

❌ Myth #1: All wasps are aggressive.
✅ Most wasps are focused on finding food and protecting their nest. They typically become aggressive only when they feel threatened.

❌ Myth #2: Knocking down the nest solves the problem.
✅ If the queen survives or returning wasps are still active, the problem can continue. Proper treatment is the safest and most effective solution.

❌ Myth #3: Wasps only build nests in trees.
✅ In the Pacific Northwest, nests can also be found under eaves, inside wall voids, beneath decks, in sheds, and around playground equipment.

As summer winds down, wasp colonies are at their largest, making late summer one of the busiest times for wasp activity in the PNW.

If you notice increased wasp traffic around your home, give them plenty of space and avoid disturbing the nest.

Remember... the only buzzing you should hear this weekend is your lawn mower, not a wasp nest over your front door. 😂🐝 ...

Have you noticed wasp nests popping up everywhere lately? 🐝👀

There’s a reason, and it’s all thanks to summer.

Here’s what’s happening:
☀️ Warm temperatures help colonies grow quickly.
🐛 An abundance of insects gives wasps plenty of food to feed their young.
👑 The queen is busy expanding the colony every day.
🏡 Eaves, decks, fences, sheds, and play structures become ideal nesting locations.

A nest that looked small a few weeks ago can grow into a much larger colony before summer is over. ⚠️

If you spot a wasp nest around your home, avoid disturbing it. Wasps can become aggressive when they feel their nest is threatened.

Let Pointe Pest Control safely handle the problem so you can enjoy your summer without the stings. 💪🐝 ...
