 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently worked with Angel after finding a pretty major issue when selling my home.  He was professional and sincere and I trusted his take on the issue and how best to resolve.  He was not trying to include scope that was not necessary and I greatly appreciated that.  He put me at ease and worked within a quick turn around time to make it happen.  It is rare you feel like you can trust someone in these types of indistries these days and Angel certainly earned my trust and my ongoing business with my new home.   Truly apprecaited!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They keep pests away and they always return if you see more. Our bug guy is very sweet and cute. They are a bit expensive but in the long run it is worth it!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been using Croach since we moved into our home about 6 years ago. They come out quarterly to do their normal thing and always show up when they say they're going to. Additionally, we've had to call them several times in between our regular service (once for wasps, once for ants in our house, once for mice in our garage) and they have always been able to come out quickly and fixed our issue to our satisfaction. After having the same technician for several years (he has left the company), today was our first experience with CJ. He was friendly, listened to our needs, and was able to complete the work quickly and efficiently! Thanks CJ!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our technician, Josh,  was on time and very courteous. We have had a problem with ants in the house this time every year and he knew how to take care of them without the materials used being toxic to our dog. Thank you Josh!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently we had a rodent issue and contacted some companies but they could not locate the correct position or had no idea of what exact animal it was. I decided to try Croach since they offer free inspection. Cassie came on time and found the possible entrances which I was convinced. She set up the traps which caught rodents the next day and sealed off entrances. She is so patient to answer all my questions and responsive to my messages even during none business hours. She is careful and very professional on the job. I am very grateful.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AngelGT, a member of the Croach Team, conducted a thorough analysis  of my house last week to seek out entry points for rodents, which had recently appeared.  This week Angel returned and successfully sealed off all the holes.  I am impressed by his professionalism and willingness to explain every step of the process.  He is courteous and dedicated to his work and his company.  I am very grateful.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've been using Croach for years now and my husband and I are very happy with the service they provide. Today, David came out and treated the outside and inside the garage for seasonal spiders. He made sure to advise us not to let our dog out for about an hour. He also made sure to ask if there was anything else we needed. Really appreciate the good job he did and the professionalism!

Signs Of An Ant Infestation In Your Home

Ant infestations often start small, but can grow quickly. Here are some tips from our ant control experts on how to spot an infestation:

Ant Trails: If you see a steady line of ants, they're likely on a food-finding mission with many more on the way.
Small Sawdust Piles: Carpenter ants and other species often leave debris near wooden structures, indicating structural damage.
Ant Nests: Check for mounds of soil or debris near your home's foundation or in hidden corners, which may be created by outdoor colonies that can damage your home.
Rustling Sounds: Rustling sounds in the walls are another clear sign of a pest problem requiring immediate professional attention.

One of the biggest frustrations for Seattle homeowners is that ants often return. That’s because most ant infestations aren’t coming from a single nest. In Seattle, common species form large, interconnected colonies with multiple queens, often spread across your yard, foundation, and even inside your walls.

Croach® Pest Control takes a long-term, strategic approach to ant control, specifically designed for Seattle homes. We treat for all visible ants and address the issues that cause ants to return, providing ongoing service to break infestation cycles.

Why Ants Are So Common in Seattle?

Ants are among the most common nuisance pests in the Seattle area, particularly in residential homes. Seattle’s climate and environment create ideal conditions for ants to thrive:

Frequent rain and moisture attract ants and support nesting conditions
Mild temperatures allow ants to stay active most of the year
Dense landscaping and vegetation provide shelter and nesting sites
Homes with crawl spaces and aging structures offer easy entry points

Ants are especially attracted to water and food sources, which is why they’re commonly found in kitchens, bathrooms, and around plumbing.

Common Ants Found in Seattle Homes

Seattle is home to several ant species, each with different behaviors and risks.

Odorous House Ants (AKA Sugar Ants). This is the most common indoor ant in Seattle. They're attracted to the food in our home, form large colonies, and often invade kitchens and bathrooms.
Carpenter Ants. These ants excavate wood to build their nests, which can weaken your home's structural integrity and cause costly damage.
Moisture Ants. This type of ant thrives in damp areas like the Puget Sound, and are often found in rotting wood or areas with water damage.
Pavement Ants. Pavement ants nest under sidewalks, driveways, and foundations. They commonly enter homes in Seattle through cracks in the foundation, so they're mostly found in basements and ground-level spaces.

The Croach® Ant Control Process

At Croach® Pest Control, we don’t just eliminate ants; we make sure they're gone for good. Trust our ant control specialists to provide ongoing protection through this superior process:

Step 1: Comprehensive Inspection
Different types of ants require different ant control methods. We identify the species, locate nesting areas, and assess contributing conditions like moisture or food sources.

Step 2: Custom Pest Plans
After inspecting, your ant exterminator will devise a customized strategy that will get rid of ants and keep them out. We tailor treatments to your specific ant species and local environmental factors.

Step 3: Targeted Treatments
Our eco-friendly ant control methods eliminate ants while protecting your home and the environment. Using Integrated Pest Management (IPM), we apply treatments where ants live and travel, minimizing unnecessary chemical use.

Step 4: Long-Term Prevention
We don't just treat the symptoms; we return every 2-3 months to eliminate the colony itself. This includes identifying entry points, recommending measures to prevent attracting ants, and applying treatments to disrupt breeding cycles.
