We Are a Lake Oswego Pest Control Company

Lake Oswego residents have lots of big-name pest companies to pick from. Families keep choosing us because we’re upfront about cost, we tailor our methods to the lakeside and forest pests found here, and we treat each customer the way we’d want our own parents treated.

Family-Owned: Antworks has been a family operation since 2005, and that hasn’t changed. Your call goes straight to our own team, the same people who’ll take care of your home.
Excellent Value: Many pest problems are solved with one well-planned treatment, which saves you money compared to booking service call after service call.
Skilled Technicians: Our technicians are trained in wall injection and other advanced methods, so they can reach the spots inside walls that ants and spiders crawl into when Lake Oswego’s shady, damp winters arrive.
Local to Lake Oswego: For more than 20 years, Lake Oswego residents and businesses have trusted us with their pest problems, and we’re grateful for every referral they’ve sent our way.

Twenty-plus years of experience, steady training, and a lot of pride go into every home and business we visit.

Types of Pests We Treat in and Around Lake Oswego, OR

Tall Douglas firs, shady ravines, Tryon Creek, and the lake itself keep Lake Oswego green and damp for much of the year, and pests love that kind of setting. When the rainy season arrives, mice and rats move toward attics and crawl spaces for warmth. Warm, dry summers wake up ants, spiders, wasps, and bees. Our team has the training to tackle every one of them.

Ants

Carpenter ants, moisture ants, odorous ants, pavement ants, thatching ants, velvety tree ants, and plenty more fall under our care. Wall injection lets us apply treatment directly inside the walls along ant travel lanes, where it’s shielded from the weather and stays effective much longer.

Bugs and Beetles

Box elder bugs, silverfish, bed bugs, and similar pests often slip indoors through cracks in window trim, siding, and door frames. Expect to see more of them as the weather shifts each spring and fall.

Cockroaches

German, American, Oriental, and brown-banded cockroaches can all cause trouble in Lake Oswego homes and restaurants. We inspect carefully to find their hiding places, then concentrate treatment where they live and breed.

Mice

House mice, deer mice, and their kin start heading inside once autumn rain soaks the ground. We remove them with traps, clean them out of attics, crawl spaces, and garages, and mark the holes they’ve been using so you can close them up.

Pantry Pests

Indian meal moths, cigarette beetles, earwigs, house centipedes, and other pantry pests can work their way into cereal, grains, and baking supplies. We pinpoint where they’re coming from and apply focused treatments to clear them out.

Rats

Roof rats, Norway rats, and other rodents are drawn to water and dense trees, so homes near the lakefront, the Willamette River, and Tryon Creek tend to see them during the wet months. Once they’re gone, we work with you to shut down every route they used to get in.

Spiders

Are black widows, cellar spiders, giant house spiders, hobo spiders, jumping spiders, orb-weavers, sac spiders, wolf spiders, or others making themselves at home? We treat their favorite hiding places and reduce the insects they hunt, so you’ll see far fewer of them.

Stinging Insects

Hornets, carpenter bees, European hornets, mud daubers, paper wasps, yellow jackets, and more get active as summer settles over Lake Oswego. We safely take down nests from eaves, docks, boathouses, decks, garages, and sheds.

Termites

Dampwood, drywood, and subterranean termites feed on wet soil and older wood, and the shaded lots around Lake Oswego offer both. We inspect for damage and apply targeted treatments to protect your home’s frame.

Residential Pest Control in Lake Oswego

Lake Oswego’s homes have a lot of character. First Addition and Old Town are known for cottages and Craftsman-style houses, Lake Grove and Waluga have plenty of mid-century ranches, Mountain Park mixes condos with hillside homes, and lakefront properties often come with docks and boathouses. Each style comes with its own pest concerns.

Single-family homes: Crawl spaces, attics, and wood siding offer ants, rodents, and spiders plenty of ways inside.
Townhomes and condos: Pests don’t care about property lines, so they can slip through shared walls and travel between units when the building isn’t treated.
Older homes: Aging foundations and basements that collect moisture make inviting nesting spots for carpenter ants and moisture ants.
Newer developments: When builders clear trees and brush for new homes, the critters living there go searching for somewhere else to settle, and that’s often the house next door.

Our quarterly plans protect your home year-round, with no long-term contract to sign.

Commercial Pest Control in Lake Oswego

Lake Oswego’s business scene is full of local favorites, including the shops and restaurants downtown along A Avenue and at Lake View Village, the stores and cafés along Boones Ferry Road in Lake Grove, and the office parks lining Kruse Way. We’re glad to help businesses of every kind keep pests out.

Restaurants and food service: Cockroach, rodent, and pantry pest treatment that supports your health code requirements.
Retail stores and shopping centers: Ongoing preventive treatments to keep showrooms, storage areas, and entrances clean and welcoming.
Office buildings: Quiet, prearranged visits that let your staff carry on with their day.
Warehouses and industrial spaces: Rodent exclusion, monitoring, and prevention programs for storage facilities and service buildings around town.
Property management: Treatment plans for condo associations, apartment communities, and HOAs, including each unit and shared areas.

We’ll fit our visits into your business hours and arrive right when we say we will, so you can stay focused on your customers

Pest Control Reviews from Residents in and Around Lake Oswego

Lake Oswego customers often mention how punctual, careful, and responsive our team is. Here are a few of their reviews about working with Antworks Pest Control.

“Phenomenal customer service, timely technician arrival, friendly, and easy to schedule. Would 100% recommend using them. After one treatment, we saw a dramatic difference within a week and they were great about scheduling a follow-up spray to keep our home ant free.“

Megan I.

“We are so happy we found Antworks! We have a 1911 house, fairly new to us, that had never been treated. Getting the ants under control was quite a challenge. Antworks always assured us that it was possible, and finally the owner came out to advise and that was the trick. Best of all, they didn’t overcharge us or give us any attitude with our questions. Even though we haven’t seen any ants for almost a year, we are happy to begin service again to prevent them from coming back. I have worked with over 7 people from this company, including the owner, the office managers and many technicians. Every time, I have been treated with respect, kindness and knowledgeable service. They even reassured me about how they care for honey bees in their treatment and that was above and beyond. We cannot recommend Antworks highly enough!“

Lisa K.

“We have been using Antworks for years and just had Steven come out to spray for mud dauber wasps. I did not know what they were, but Steven pulled up a picture on his phone to verify with me what he suspected. He checked our attic and left some treatments there as well as sprayed under our eaves. Great customer service!“
