Why Portland Homes Need Ant Control
Ants are particularly problematic in Portland due to our dense urban layout and older housing stock, which offer countless entry points. The city's 62-foot elevation and proximity to the coast mean moisture-loving species like carpenter ants flourish, especially in neighborhoods near the waterfront. Our Portland ant specialists see a surge in activity each spring as temperatures rise, making proactive treatment essential for homeowners.
