Common Pest Problems in Tacoma

Tacoma sits in the Pacific Northwest, and the pests that call homeowners there follow the local climate and housing. The calls that come from Tacoma cover everything from ants and roaches in the kitchen to rodents in the attic, and the companies on the other end know the local housing, from slab homes to older basements and crawl spaces.

  • Shared walls and older buildings. In denser parts of Tacoma, bed bugs, roaches and mice move between apartments and rowhouses through shared walls and plumbing chases.
  • Damp wood and carpenter ants. Constant moisture feeds carpenter ants, damp-wood termites and rot, and slugs and sowbugs crowd crawl spaces.
  • Rodents in the wet season. Mice and rats move in as the rain starts, especially around blackberry thickets, greenbelts and older crawl spaces.
  • Termites in Washington. Termite risk in Washington is moderate, and it is highest in homes with moisture at the foundation or wood touching soil.
  • Winter and rodents. Cool winters send mice, rats and squirrels toward attics and garages, though insects slow down only for a few months.

When to Call an Exterminator in Tacoma Right Away

  • Bed bugs in the bedroom. Small rust-colored spots on the sheets, itchy welts in a line, or live bugs along the mattress seams. They spread room to room, so early matters.
  • Rats or mice in the walls or attic. Scratching at night, droppings, gnawed wiring or a musty smell. Rodents chew wires, and a nest in the attic can start a fire.
  • A wasp or hornet nest by a door. A nest where people walk or kids play is a sting risk, especially for anyone with an allergy. Don't knock it down yourself.
  • Mud tubes or swarming winged insects. Pencil-wide mud tubes on a foundation, or winged insects drifting out of a wall in spring, point to termites.
  • Animals in the attic or chimney. Thumping, chittering or a strong smell from the ceiling usually means squirrels, raccoons or bats. Rules on removal vary by state.
  • Bites you can't explain. Welts on ankles can mean fleas, and clusters on the arms or neck can mean bed bugs or mosquitoes. See a doctor about a bad reaction.
