Bug Busters started within the Portland Oregon area in April of 1987, and has quickly grown into a well recognized name here in the Pacific Northwest. Our corporate headquarters reside just west of Portland in Yamhill County.

Carpenter ants are distributed widely throughout the United States, causing severe structural damage to many homes! We wish to give full credit to Arnold Mallis for his lifelong contribution to the Pest Control industry. These long-legged; swiftly moving creatures are among our largest ants, which often invade homes foraging for food or for nest building. The workers are highly polymorphic, that is they vary greatly in size ranging from 1/4 inch to more than 3/4 inch. The queens may be more than1/2 inch long.

If you're in the process of purchasing a home, at the very least be sure to perform a Pest and Dry Rot Inspection. This inspection consists of looking inside, outside and most importantly, under your home to determine if there is a pest and/or dry rot problem, or if there are any conditions that are conducive to them. If you're selling your home, do NOT assume that the inspection is the responsibility or the problem of the buyer. If you want to avoid unexpected delays in the sale of your home (and possible sale-failure), have an inspection performed now, and have peace of mind later.
