Pest Control in Redmond, WA

Connect With a Local Pro Who Knows King County

Redmond built up fast around its technology campuses, but a large share of the land here could never be built on at all. The Sammamish River slough and the wetlands either side of it are protected, so new housing sits directly against permanent marsh rather than at a distance from it. PestAlly is a free service connecting Redmond homeowners with independent, licensed local pest control pros working King County.

Why Redmond

Why Redmond Homes Get Hit Harder Than Most

Protected wetland next to housing is a permanent neighbour, not a temporary one. It cannot be drained, cleared or treated, so the mosquito, rodent and wildlife populations it supports are a fixed part of the picture and the work has to focus on the boundary of your own property rather than on the source.

The other Redmond problem is underground. Engineered lawns over imported topsoil, watered through the dry months, produce the earthworm population moles want, and a mole run under a lawn also gives voles and mice a ready-made tunnel network right up to the foundation.

Common Questions

Redmond Pest Questions, Answered

Mole hills across a brand new lawn.
Imported topsoil and regular irrigation produce far more earthworms than the native ground did, and moles follow the food. The runs matter beyond the cosmetic damage, because voles and mice use them as ready-made tunnels to reach the foundation without ever crossing open ground.
Can anything be done about the wetland?
Not to the wetland itself, and that is the point worth understanding early. It is protected, so the work is all at your boundary: screening, treating resting vegetation, clearing standing water on your own side and keeping the foundation line sealed and clear.
Mosquitoes although the garden is dry.
The slough and marsh behind the houses breed continuously and the flight range covers the whole neighbourhood. Treating the shaded vegetation where they rest during the day gives a far better result than anything aimed at open water.
Small rodents in the garage in autumn.
Voles and mice are usually already at the foundation by then, having travelled under the lawn. Sealing the garage threshold and every service penetration is the fix; dealing with the lawn tunnels at the same time stops the supply.
Ants in a house only three years old.
Age does not protect against moisture ants. Anything that keeps timber damp — a flashing detail, a deck ledger, a downspout draining against the wall — is enough, and new construction gets those wrong as often as old.
