What New Homeowners in the Pacific Northwest Need To Know About Pests
Pacific Northwest homeowners face unique weather conditions year-round that can lead to seasonal pest challenges. Its damp, mild climate is a year-long haven for moisture-loving pests. New residents may not realize that ants are an issue in spring, yellow jackets can be a menace in late summer, and rodents cause problems in winter.
Getting ahead of the seasonal changes with proactive property maintenance can lower the likelihood of needing pest control services throughout the year. Rather than waiting for a problem to appear and then calling a pest control service, take action beforehand.
Call Antworks Pest Control for your free consultation and estimate before you’re stuck with a bigger pest problem than you realize.

Scott C.
“We used Antworks about 8 years ago at our house in SE Portland to control an ant infestation. We were so happy with the results that we called them immediately when we saw ants at our new home. Steve was so friendly and helpful! He was very knowledgeable about ants and the products that he was using. We are confident in the same great result that we had last time!!! Great company, great technician!!!”
Kenneth K.
“We had a terrible problem with ants in a new home built over an old lot. For three years we used different services to no avail, until a friend told us about Antworks. Wow! It really works. Got rid of the problem. And they come back at no extra cost if you have any other problems. They are terrific to work with.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Pest Control for New Homeowners in Portland and Vancouver
Is Pest Control Needed for a New House?
Yes! We highly recommend treating newly constructed homes for pests, especially during the first three years of occupancy. Just because it’s newly built doesn’t mean it’s likely to remain pest-free. New builds disrupt local habitats, forcing rodents, ants, and other insects to relocate, and the open framing of wall voids, crawlspaces, and vents is perfect for new nests. Trapped moisture from wet lumber behind drywall can create a breeding ground for termites and wood-boring insects.
What Pests Are the Most Active in the Portland-Vancouver Metro Area?
It depends on the season. In the spring, odorous house ants (“sugar ants”), carpenter ants, ticks, and subterranean termites begin to emerge as the ground thaws and temperatures rise. The dry summer months cause yellowjackets, wasps, spiders, fleas, and mosquito populations to explode. Substantial autumn rainfall and cooling temperatures cause rats, mice, stink bugs, and male spiders seeking mates to look for warm, dry shelter indoors. Our temperature-controlled homes keep the rodent, silverfish, and earwig populations safe and dry during the wet winter months.
How Much Will Pest Control Cost for My New Home?
That can depend on several factors, including the type of pest, the level of infestation, and the type of treatment plan. With Antworks Pest Control, you’ll receive a free consultation and estimate tailored to your unique pest control needs. We offer one-time treatments as well as monthly, bi-monthly, and quarterly treatment plans, and you’ll never face pushy sales tactics from us.
How Can I Prevent Pests From Becoming a Problem in My New Home?
New homeowners can take preventive measures to keep pests from gaining access to their home and becoming a problem in the first place. These include:
- Regularly inspecting your home’s foundation for cracks that pests can infiltrate through
- Prevent grass from growing near the perimeter of your foundation
- Eliminate any standing water in or near your home
- Don’t leave food out and uncovered for long periods of time, including pet food
