5 Highlights on Insect Control
Insect Control is the targeted treatment program our company, A & R Pest Solutions, applies to eliminate crawling, flying, and breeding pests inside and around your property.
Licensed Technicians and Certified Applicators
inspect every harborage, identify the species, and apply the correct insecticide, larvicide, or bait formulation for the infestation.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
combines chemical treatments with exclusion work, sanitation guidance, and monitoring traps to suppress cockroach, ant, and bedbug populations long term.
Targeted Treatments
address mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, wasps, beetles, weevils, silverfish, spiders, and moths using ULV foggers, granules, gels, and residual sprays.
Eco-Friendly Options
include botanical repellents, diatomaceous earth, and pheromone bait stations that protect children, pets, and pollinators while still killing target insects.
Detailed Inspection Reports
document each infestation site, list the pesticide applied, and outline the follow-up schedule needed to break the egg, larva, and nymph cycle.
Our insect control program treats active colonies, disrupts breeding grounds, and seals entry points so pests stop coming back and you enjoy lasting peace of mind.
Why Choose Our Insect Control
Insect Control from A & R Pest Solutions stands apart because we treat the root cause, not just the visible bugs. Among pest control services in Washington State, our technicians hold Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) pest control licenses, EPA-recognized applicator credentials, and continuing education hours in entomology. We are members of the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) and the Washington State Pest Management Association (WSPA). We carry general liability coverage and back every job with a written service guarantee.
We inspect before we spray. That single step separates a thorough exterminator from a guesswork operator. Our WSDA-licensed technicians and certified applicators examine harborage zones, count specimens, and map travel paths before we choose a pesticide. Then we match the chemistry to the species, whether that means a pyrethroid for wasps, a neonicotinoid gel bait for cockroaches, or an insect growth regulator for fleas.
Our pricing is flat and transparent. You get the inspection findings, the treatment plan, and the cost in writing before any technician opens a sprayer. We schedule follow-up visits at no extra charge when the infestation requires repeat applications to break the breeding cycle.
Customers stay with us because we answer the phone, address your questions promptly, show up on time, and finish the job. We service homes, restaurants, warehouses, schools, and medical offices across Washington State – including Vancouver, Camas, Battle Ground, Ridgefield, Longview, and communities throughout Clark and Cowlitz County. Since 2016, we have completed thousands of insect control treatments for residential and commercial clients. Every account receives a dedicated technician who knows the property, the history, and the treatment record. That continuity produces faster results and fewer callbacks.
Bugs Don't Wait. Neither Should You.
Our licensed technicians are standing by to protect your home or business.
Signs You Need Insect Control
Insect Control becomes necessary the moment pests cross from occasional nuisance to active infestation. Watch for these five warning signs and call a qualified pest controller before the colony spreads.
Live Insects During Daylight Hours:
Cockroaches and bedbugs are nocturnal. Spotting them in the open during the day means the harborage is overcrowded and the population has outgrown its hiding spots. That signals a mature infestation requiring residual insecticide and follow-up monitoring.
Bites, Welts, or Skin Irritation:
Fleas, bedbugs, mites, and ticks feed on blood and leave clustered bite patterns. Bites on ankles point to fleas. Linear bites on the torso point to bedbugs. If you are experiencing significant skin reactions, consult a healthcare provider. Either pattern also calls for immediate pest treatment with targeted larvicide and steam or chemical application.
Visible Nests, Hives, or Swarms:
Wasp nests under eaves, hornet hives in trees, or ant swarms on driveways mean colonies have established near your structure. A trained applicator can knock down the nest, treat the surrounding area with dust, and prevent re-nesting.
Damage to Wood, Fabric, or Stored Food:
Beetles, weevils, silverfish, and moths chew through pantry goods, books, clothing, and structural wood. Frass, shed skins, or pinholes in surfaces confirm an active breeding population that needs fumigation or targeted spray treatment.
Recurring Pests After DIY Sprays:
Store-bought aerosols kill visible bugs but rarely reach eggs, pupae, or queens. When insects return within days or weeks, the colony is still breeding behind walls, under appliances, or in voids that only a professional fumigator can reach.

Our Insect Control Process
Insect Control at A & R Pest Solutions follows a five-step protocol that produces measurable results.
Inspection.
A licensed technician walks the property, identifies the pest species, locates harborage sites, and documents the infestation size. We check entry points, moisture sources, and food access.
Treatment Plan.
We prepare a written plan that lists the products we’ll apply, the areas we’ll treat, the safety precautions you’ll follow, and the expected timeline. You approve the plan before work starts.
Application.
Our applicator treats the property using the correct method for the species: gel baits in cracks for cockroaches, residual sprays along baseboards for ants, ULV fogging for mosquitoes, dust in voids for wasps, or steam and encasements for bedbugs. We apply only EPA-registered pesticides at label rates.
Exclusion and Sanitation.
We seal entry points with caulk, mesh, or door sweeps, and we give you a sanitation checklist that removes the food and water sources insects need to breed.
Monitoring and Follow-Up
We place glue boards, pheromone traps, and bait stations to track activity. Our technician returns at scheduled intervals to retreat, replace baits, and confirm the population has dropped to zero.
This process treats the current infestation and prevents the next one. Call (855) 466-7158 to request a free quote, or contact us online to learn how our five-step protocol can protect your property.

A & R Pest Solutions uses professional-grade products trusted by exterminators nationwide. Every brand on our truck carries EPA registration and a documented safety profile for use around people and pets.

FAQs About Insect Control
What is insect control?
Insect Control is the professional process of inspecting, treating, and monitoring a property to eliminate insect infestations and prevent their return. Services include inspection, pesticide application, exclusion, and follow-up monitoring.
When should I schedule insect control?
Schedule treatment at the first sign of activity: live bugs, bites, droppings, nests, or damage. Many Washington homeowners book quarterly preventive service to stay ahead of odorous house ants in spring, mosquitoes and wasps in summer, and overwintering beetles and spiders that migrate indoors each fall as temperatures drop in Clark and Cowlitz County.
Why does professional insect control work better than store-bought sprays?
Professional products carry higher concentrations, longer residual action, and species-specific formulations that retail aerosols can’t match. Our technicians also reach voids, wall cavities, and harborage sites you can’t access, and we treat the eggs and larvae that retail sprays miss.
How long does insect control treatment take?
A standard residential treatment takes 45 to 90 minutes. Larger commercial accounts and heavy bedbug or termite jobs can take several hours or require multiple visits across two to six weeks.
Can insect control be safe around children and pets?
Yes. We apply products at labeled rates, place baits in tamper-resistant stations, and offer botanical and low-toxicity options for sensitive accounts. We tell you exactly when it’s safe to re-enter treated rooms.
Does insect control come with a guarantee?
Yes. A & R Pest Solutions guarantees every treatment. If pests return between scheduled visits, we come back and retreat at no additional cost.
