  How much does pest control cost?

  There are many factors that determine the cost of pest control, which makes it impossible to give a fixed price for treating each pest.

  The price is determined by factors including:

  • Pest type
  • Extent of the infestation
  • Treatments chosen
  • Number of treatments required
  • Optional monitoring and prevention services
  • Size and type of property

  We will do an initial inspection and present you with a quote and recommendations for your specific pest problem. We will discuss our recommendations and options with you for you to choose the services you want. See more details on our pest control costs page

  What is the best way to prevent pest infestations?

  The best way to prevent a pest infestation is to make your home as unappealing to pests as you can. Pests need food, shelter and moisture, so preventing them getting these in your property is a good first step. Maintaining your property so that there are no routes of access is also important. Check out our pest pages for advice on detecting and preventing pests, such as rodents, termites and ants.

  However, knowing what pests might find attractive about your property and where the weak points are can be a challenge. This may need professional help.

  The best way to find out how to stop pests is to contact your local Western Exterminator office and discuss pest prevention methods. Ultimately, signing up for a pest prevention program can save you money in the long run.

  Check out our Pestfree365 service to keep you home free from over 36 of the most common household pests all year long.

  Do you offer green pest control?

  Yes we do. We know natural pest control is a priority in the Portland area, and we seek to use environmentally-friendly methods that are safe for both humans and pets.

  Western Exterminator was one of the earliest adopters of “biorational” materials (lower risk of adverse effects) and we use integrated pest management techniques, which emphasise prevention and environmentally friendly methods.

  How do I get rid of bed bugs?

  Bed bugs are one of the most common pest problems in Portland. People inadvertently pick them up while travelling when the tiny insects crawl into clothing or luggage from an infested room. They are then carried into other hotels, apartments and homes where they crawl around at night to seek blood meals and places to shelter.

  For businesses, it is essential to have a monitoring program to detect bed bugs as early as possible before an infestation spreads. New bed bugs can be brought into your property at any time and they can quickly find places to hide and breed.

  Once you detect an infestation it is important to thoroughly inspect your property to establish the extent of the infestation. There are many places where bed bugs can hide. Our specialists are highly trained to inspect a property and determine the best available treatments.

  There are a number of treatments available to eradicate all the life stages of bed bugs, including non-chemical and chemical treatments.

  Check out our bed bug pages for more advice on detection and treatments to eliminate bedbugs.
