Pest control across the Pacific Northwest

Termites aren’t exactly the kind of houseguest that announces themselves. 🐜👀

They can stay hidden while feeding on wood and expanding their colony, which means visible damage may not be the first sign of a problem.

Keep an eye out for:

🪵 Damaged or weakened wood
🪽 Discarded wings
🟤 Mud tubes
🔎 Areas where wood and moisture meet

And in the PNW, keeping moisture issues under control is an important part of protecting your property.

If something looks suspicious, don’t assume it’s “just old wood.” A professional inspection can help determine what’s actually happening.

🌲 Pointe Pest Control is here to help protect your PNW home from the pests you can’t always see. ...

The Pacific Northwest and moisture go hand in hand. 🌧️🌲

But when that moisture sticks around wood for too long, it can create conditions that make your home more vulnerable to wood decay and pests like carpenter ants. 🐜🪵

Pay extra attention to areas like:

💧 Damp crawl spaces
🏠 Decks and exterior wood
🪟 Around windows and doors
🌿 Wood touching or sitting close to soil
🚿 Areas near leaks or poor drainage

Here’s the part that’s easy to miss: the damage may start where you can’t see it. 👀

Keeping wood dry, improving drainage and addressing moisture issues early can help protect your property.

Moisture might be normal in the PNW. Wood damage doesn’t have to be. 🌲🏠

Pointe Pest Control can help identify conditions that may be inviting pests to your property. ...

If pests could pick their favorite hiding spots, they wouldn’t choose the middle of your living room. 😂

They’re more likely to hang out somewhere dark, quiet, damp or undisturbed. 👀

A few places worth checking around your PNW property:

🔎 Under sinks and around plumbing
📦 Behind boxes and stored items
🚪 Around doors, windows and other entry points
🌿 In dense landscaping or clutter near the home
🪵 Damp areas around decks, crawl spaces and structures

The Pacific Northwest’s moisture can create plenty of conditions pests like.

Not seeing pests doesn’t always mean they’re not there. Sometimes, they’re just really good at hiding. 🕷️
