THE CITY OF TACOMA, WA
Several members of the Sentinel Pest Control team call Tacoma home, a bustling city with a rich past and a lively community. Tacoma is Washington’s third-largest city, with a diverse population of over 220,000 people. It’s well-known for having the largest deep-water port in Washington State, along Commencement Bay, highlighting its significant role in regional commerce and maritime activities.
Tacoma’s unique geography leads to a high number of ant colonies. The city’s mixed landscape, encompassing modern residential areas, historic neighborhoods, industrial zones, business parks, and a rejuvenated downtown, creates a challenging environment for ant control. Every neighborhood in Tacoma presents a unique set of issues, requiring pest control experts to adopt customized approaches for effective ant management and control.

Continued follow-up treatments and ongoing preventative maintenance are typically required for controlling most ant species.
