Services
Ant Control
Wayfare Pest Solutions offers comprehensive ant control services targeting sugar ants, odorous house ants, and carpenter ants. Our process includes a thorough inspection to identify colonies, interior baiting to eliminate entire nests, and exterior treatments to prevent reinfestation. Using slow-acting baits and non-repellent insecticides, we ensure long-term solutions while minimizing environmental impact. Our technicians provide tailored strategies for both residential and commercial properties in Vancouver, WA.
Bat Control
Our humane bat control services include inspections, exclusions, and bat house installations. We use one-way cones to safely remove bats during appropriate seasons and seal entry points with durable materials. Our team follows ethical guidelines to protect bat populations while preventing property damage. We also offer custom-built bat boxes to provide alternative habitats, ensuring compliance with legal protections and ecological balance for clients in Portland and Vancouver areas.
Raccoon Control
Wayfare Pest Solutions provides professional raccoon control through eviction techniques, live trapping, and exclusion repairs. We use deterrents like strobe lights and eviction fluids to encourage mother raccoons to relocate their kits. For persistent infestations, we perform hands-on removal and seal entry points with steel materials. Our prevention strategies include securing trash areas and trimming vegetation to deter future raccoon activity in residential and commercial properties.
Dead Animal Removal
Our dead animal removal service addresses odor issues from deceased wildlife in attics, crawlspaces, and walls. The process includes locating the source through smell analysis, safely removing the carcass, and decontaminating affected areas. We use specialized equipment for hard-to-reach spaces and provide follow-up visits to ensure complete odor elimination. This service helps restore habitable conditions while preventing secondary infestations from scavengers attracted to residual odors.
Bird Control
We specialize in bird control for starlings, woodpeckers, and other nuisance species. Our approach includes nest removal, vent protection, and deterrent installations like optical discs and capsaicin gels. Technicians identify and seal entry points while complying with regulations protecting certain bird species. We offer long-term solutions for both immediate infestations and prevention, serving residential properties and commercial buildings experiencing bird-related damage or sanitation issues.
