Gig Harbor Pest Control | WA’s Premier Pest Pros

THE CITY OF GIG HARBOR, WA

Gig Harbor, also known as the “Gateway to the Olympic Peninsula,” was given its name in 1840 by Captain Charles Wilkes. Wilkes navigated his captains “gig” (small boat) into the harbor during stormy weather for protection. When his map of the Oregon Territory came out in 1841, he named the area Gig Harbor.

With its densely forested landscapes, continued growth and expansion, and close proximity to the water, Gig Harbor homes and businesses have a high potential of being infested with various pests. Some of the most common pests we see in the area include rats, spiders, ants and dampwood termites.

PEST MANAGEMENT SERVICES IN GIG HARBOR

The last decade has seen the need for pest control in Gig Harbor grow considerably. Many new stores, restaurants, businesses, and housing developments have cropped up, displacing rodents and other insects that once lived in those areas. While growth has a positive impact on various aspects of a community, pest control becomes more and more important as neighborhoods expand. Established buildings will see an increase in pest activity, and newly-built structures will need to begin their pest protection regimen. We are your local experts, and we would love the opportunity to help keep our friends and neighbors safe, happy, and healthy!

Gig Harbor boasts many densely forested areas, making for lots of privacy and beautiful scenery. Ants, spiders and rodents rely heavily on these same wooded areas for food and harborage. Homes and businesses in Gig Harbor are often surrounded by natural landscapes, and should be protected from harmful pests. Sentinel Pest Control has worked closely with the Gig Harbor Chamber of Commerce, Gig Harbor City Officials, local business leaders, and homeowners to be proactive in keeping the community safe and healthy.

PEST SERVICES

Downtown Gig Harbor is a wonderful place to visit with its many shops, restaurants, and marinas. As it’s located right on the water, our technicians treat rodent issues regularly. Keeping buildings sealed tight and rodent populations in check with baiting is the only way to prevent your home or business from becoming infested. Call us today for a free inspection to ensure that your home is secure, and all potential rodent entry points are sealed.

RODENT CONTROL

Establishing effective prevention methods for rodent infestations can be time-consuming; it requires a thorough inspection, repair of any rodent entry points, mechanical trap installation, and bait station placement. Exclusion is part of the solution!

ANT CONTROL

Treating an ant infestation is a fairly complicated process. Our ant treatment involves a significant amount of detective work, specialized interior baiting, and liquid chemical treatments, as well as an exterior chemical application to the home or building and various areas on the property.

BED BUG CONTROL

Bed bugs are often found in or around beds and bedrooms. They are notoriously difficult to locate due to their skill at hiding, and made even more challenging by their fast maturity rate and longer life span. Identifying the origin and scope of an infestation requires more detailed inquiry.

TERMITE CONTROL

The most common species of termites in Washington are the Pacific Dampwood and Western Subterranean termite. Termites can do significant structural damage to a home or business, and require extensive preventative treatment to be fully eliminated and excluded.

STINGING INSECTS

There are several different species of stinging insects native to the Pacific Northwest. Many are non-aggressive and serve a vital ecological function; however, some species—particularly yellow jackets, wasps, and hornets—can be extremely aggressive and require removal.

SPIDER CONTROL

There are various species of spiders found throughout Washington and the Puget Sound region. While spiders in general can be beneficial in the elimination of other pests, they are not usually welcome visitors in our homes and their bites should be avoided.
