To understand why we started New Leaf Pest Control, you need to understand a little about the pest control industry. It can be shady at times. Scare tactics and bait-and-switch sales methods are often used to drive up sales at the expense of hard working home owners. Working in the industry myself and later in management, I observed these tactics being used and even saw them encouraged in the field. I also saw a real lack of customer service, leaving customers "nickel and dimed" and frustrated. Somewhere along the way I realized that the Portland and Vancouver area needed a better option for pest control services.
At New Leaf Pest Control we understand that effective pest control starts with a thorough inspection. Through years of training and experience, we have developed a methodical and systematic inspection process that allows us to accurately assess and identify the type of termites you are dealing with and the severity of the infestation. When our technicians are inspecting your property that are certain identifying markers that we will look for including wood damage, mud tubes, discarded wings, exit holes, and droppings.
Sump Pump Installation PortlandStanding water in your crawl space can be a very big problem and can do a lot of harm to your home. The most important function in the design of your home is to keep water out and standing water left in can wreak havoc on the structural integrity and overall health of your home. Free Pest Control InspectionProbably the most common method of removing standing water under a home is the installation of a sump pump. A correctly installed system consists of properly sloped trenches that carry the water to an underground basin that the sump pump sits in.
If you have noticed that your heating and cooling bill seems a little too high and have wondered why your home never seems to get warm or cool enough, you may want to have your ductwork checked out. Damaged or disconnected ducts can cause your heating and cooling system to run very inefficiently and waste a lot of money on heating your crawl space. Not only is this wasteful, but by heating your crawl space, you may also be creating a conducive condition for critters to nest and breed in. By calling an HVAC company to do the repairs, you may be paying a premium to do so.
New Leaf Pest Control is a family-owned and operated business that is not like the other pest control companies. We are an experienced team of exterminators with decades in the pest industry. Our customers deserve more than a high-pressured sales pitch and an uninformed pest treatment plan. If you choose New Leaf as your preferred local pest control company, we promise to provide a thorough pest treatment plan, upfront, honest pricing, and the best customer service you've ever had. We offer child and pet safe pest control, a no-pressure consultation, a free pest inspection, and a detailed pest management plan.
At New Leaf, we strive to provide our clients with the highest quality pest control services possible. For many this means clearing their home of rats and other rodents. Most homeowners will try and use Decon or another store-bought rat poison, but this is not something that we recommend. First, it is not in a secure bait station, and second, it is not particularly useful. Trapping is an option but is something that will probably only help the problem, not eliminate the problem. The best thing that a homeowner can do is to remove all the possible food and water sources and be on the lookout for potential entry points into the home.
As a pest control company in the Vancouver, Washington area, we get a lot of calls for wasp, bee, rodent, and ant control during the summer. We often ask our customers if they are dealing with wasps or bees, and most of the time, they have no idea. Allow us to perform a pest inspection to determine if you have wasps or bees on your property. It is essential to know the difference because honey bees are protected, and we only exterminate them if they pose a threat to humans. Honey bee populations have been dying off at an alarming rate, and nobody knows why.
Ants can pose a significant problem. They aren't just an annoyance, and certain varieties can cause severe property damage. Improper treatment can make the problem worse, and that's why you should always get professional ant control in Vancouver by New Leaf Pest Control. There are several reasons we stand apart. As an ant control company in Vancouver that only uses green methods, we use the safest products available that still provide complete ant control. Some species respond rather poorly to many standard non-green products.
When you think of an exterminator in Vancouver, what comes to mind? For many, it's harsh chemicals, pushy sales tactics, and a lack of guarantees. At New Leaf Pest Control, we want to change that. When you hire an exterminator in Vancouver, you should expect more. You should expect to be able to have an honest discussion about your extermination problems and needs without high-pressure tactics. You should assume that your chosen extermination company will protect your family, pets, and property using safe products whenever possible.
Bed Bug infestations are growing at an alarming rate in the Portland Metro area over the past decade and unfortunately, they are also the most difficult pest problem that we treat. If you think you might have bed bugs in your home, it is important to act quickly so that they do not spread and reproduce. Since they are attracted to CO2, these bites often occur on the upper body and can leave behind small droplets of blood that will show up on bed sheets. If you are seeing these signs, your first reaction might be to stop sleeping in the bed that you are getting bit in, but you might want to think twice about that.
If you've seen one pest, more than likely there are more. Most property pests create nests where they live, foraging for food and expanding these nests when a colony grows too large to support it — like ants, for example. This expansion can often be to other areas of the property. The best way to be sure your property is safe is with a professional pest inspection in Vancouver from New Leaf Pest Control. Having one of our experienced, trained technicians perform a pest inspection at your home or business can save you so much.

Rats and mice can cause all kinds of problems for home owners without proper control. For starters, rodents can carry diseases that can create an unhealthy environment in your home. According to the Center For Disease Control, rodents carry up to 35 different diseases. Many of these diseases are spread through their droppings, so if you have rodent feces in your home, you should take extreme care in cleaning them up. Also, if you are seeing signs of rodent activity inside of your home, you almost certainly have many more in either your crawl space or basement.
Despite being in the rodent family, squirrels are far more well liked than other rodents such as rats and mice. They do not have to search too hard to find food, because many home owners set out food for them. They are cute and fluffy and people generally like to have them around, but they are certainly capable of causing damage to your home. Our method of squirrel control is to do safe and humane trapping and exclusion work to keep your home from being damaged. The type of squirrels that you typically see around your home are called the "Western Gray Squirrel".
We have plenty of wildlife in the Pacific Northwest. It is not uncommon to see raccoons, opossums and even the occasional skunk in residential neighborhoods in our cities. Sometimes these critters try to make your home, their home and that is when you have some real problems. These animals are looking for a place that provides warmth, shelter and place to nest and have babies. Unfortunately, your crawl space might offer the ideal location for raccoons, opossums and skunks to make themselves at home.
Ants are the most common pest that we treat in the Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington area. To many people, it is hard to distinguish the difference between common ants in the northwest, but it is important to know what you have. You may have a common nuisance ant infestation in your home which is harmless (yet annoying) or you might have something worse, like a wood destroying ant. Carpenter ants are the most common wood destroying pest that we have in the area. They are typically larger than other ants that you might observe, but they can vary in size depending on how old the colony is.
A lot of pest control companies claim to be "green". Sure, it is trendy, but what does it actually mean to be green? For us, it means using products that are safe for you, your family and for the environment we live in. Many of the products that we use are pesticide products derived from plants. Probably the most common pest control product that we carry is derived from chrysanthemum flowers and it has been proven to be both very safe as well as very effective. We also implement a system of pest control treatments called "integrated pest management".
