$119 Initial Pest Service
Includes General Pest Service + Warranty
General Pest Services
Protect Your Home—Inside and Out
Keep your home safe from pests with one comprehensive service. We treat for: Ants, bees, pill bugs, box elder bugs, centipedes, clovermites, earwigs, fleas, fruit flies, hornets, mice, rats, roaches, German roaches, silverfish, spiders, ticks, wasps, and yellow jackets.
No guesswork – just powerful, proven protection.
We start by listening to what you’re seeing and inspecting your property to understand what’s going on. We treat the exterior with professional-grade power sprayers (3 feet up, 3 feet out around your foundation), and interior treatment is always included whenever you need it. We focus on the most common trouble spots in the Northwest—crawl spaces, foundation vents, eaves, and anywhere moisture collects. Our approach is thorough, not one-size-fits-all, and we adjust based on what your home needs.
We can usually be out today or tomorrow. Most pest activity starts decreasing within the first few days, and we’ll be back in 30 days automatically to reinforce your protection. Between visits, call us anytime at no extra cost—unlimited re-services are included with membership.
Quarterly membership starts at $119–$150+, depending on your home’s size. This covers everything—ants, spiders, wasps, yellow jackets, mice, rats, cockroaches, fleas—with no surprise charges. We don’t nickel-and-dime you for nest removal or extra treatments, like some companies do. If you prefer a one-time treatment, pricing starts at $xxx, but we generally don’t recommend it—the quarterly plan keeps your home protected year-round as pests rotate seasonally.
What pests are covered?
Everything we commonly see in the Pacific Northwest: ants, spiders, wasps, yellow jackets, mice, rats, cockroaches, and fleas. If you’re not sure what you’re dealing with, we’ll identify it and confirm if we’re the best to handle it.
Do you charge extra for things like wasp nests or mice?
No—our service is all-inclusive. If it’s covered under our general pest plan, there are no extra charges. You won’t get surprise fees for nest removal or rodent treatment.
What happens at the first visit?
Our technician listens to what you’re dealing with, inspects your home, and explains what they’re seeing. You won’t be left guessing—we give you straight answers and handle the problem the right way.
What makes you different from bigger pest control companies?
We’re family-owned, and we’ve been here since 2002. We’re not door-to-door sales reps who disappear after signing contracts. We use better equipment—power sprayers, not backpack sprayers—we come back in 30 days automatically, and we offer unlimited re-services between treatments.
What if I’m not satisfied?
Our 100% satisfaction guarantee means we’ll make it right—no hassle.

$119 Initial Ant Treatment
Includes General Pest Service + Warranty
Ants
Ants Invading? We’ve Got You Covered.
Ants can do more than just march across your kitchen – they can contaminate food and be tough to eliminate. Our general pest control service takes care of ants and other household pests with proven, professional treatment.
We start by figuring out where they’re getting in and what’s attracting them. In the Northwest, that often means checking crawl spaces, foundation vents, and anywhere moisture collects. We treat the exterior with professional-grade power sprayers, covering 3 feet up and 3 feet out around your foundation, to disrupt their trails and keep them from coming back inside. Interior treatment is included and available whenever you need it—we recommend having it done a few times a year, especially when it cools down or you’re pulling things out of storage.
We can usually be out today or tomorrow. Most ant problems start improving within the first few days, and we’ll be back in 30 days automatically to make sure we caught everything. Between visits, call us anytime at no extra cost—unlimited re-services are included with membership.
Ants are included in our all-inclusive pest service. Quarterly membership starts at $119–$150+, depending on your home’s size. If you prefer a one-time treatment, pricing is typically $xxx, but we generally don’t recommend it—the quarterly plan lets us stay ahead of hatching cycles and seasonal activity.
Why do ants keep coming back?
They follow scent trails from outside. If the colony isn’t disrupted or entry points aren’t addressed, they return quickly. In the Northwest, moisture in crawl spaces and bark dust around foundations create ideal conditions for carpenter ants year-round.
Do you treat inside the home?
Yes—interior treatment is always included. We recommend having it done a few times a year, especially in the fall when it cools down or when you’re getting into your crawl space or attic for storage.
Is increased activity normal after treatment?
Yes. As the product takes effect, ants may move more before they disappear. That’s normal and usually settles within a few days.
What happens at the first visit?
Our technician listens to what you’re dealing with, inspects your home, and explains what they’re seeing. You won’t be left guessing—we give you straight answers and handle the problem the right way.

$149 Initial Roach Treatment
Includes General Pest Service + Warranty
Cockroaches
Roaches? We’ve Got It Handled.
Our general pest control service eliminates American roaches and other common species. Got German roaches? We start with a $149 initial flush-out, followed by a targeted treatment two weeks later. Ongoing protection is included—extra charges may apply for severe infestations.
We start by figuring out where they’re coming from and where they’re hiding—German cockroaches love kitchens and bathrooms, while Oriental cockroaches prefer damp areas like basements and crawlspaces. We use targeted treatments: crack-and-crevice application, baits, gels, and glue boards to monitor activity. Sprays and foggers don’t work well for cockroaches—they just scatter them into other rooms or units. Some of what we do is educational, helping you understand what’s attracting them and what needs to change to keep them from coming back.
We can usually be out today or tomorrow. Cockroach activity starts decreasing within the first week as baits take effect, and we’ll be back in 30 days automatically to monitor progress and reinforce treatment. Between visits, call us anytime at no extra cost—unlimited re-services are included with membership.
Cockroaches are included in our all-inclusive pest service for residential customers. Quarterly membership starts at $119–$150+, depending on your home’s size. If you prefer a one-time treatment, pricing is typically $xxx, but we generally don’t recommend it—cockroaches reproduce quickly, and ongoing monitoring is critical to making sure they don’t come back.
How do cockroaches get into homes in the Pacific Northwest?
They’re often brought in through cardboard boxes, groceries, or appliances. German cockroaches are small and can hide in tight spaces, making them easy to miss until there’s a bigger problem.
Why don’t sprays work?
Sprays and foggers scatter cockroaches into other rooms or units instead of eliminating them. Baits and gels are more effective because cockroaches carry them back to their hiding spots, where the entire population feeds on them.
Are cockroaches dangerous?
Yes—they spread bacteria, contaminate food, and can trigger allergies and asthma, especially in children. Even a small infestation should be treated quickly.
What happens at the first visit?
Our technician listens to what you’re dealing with, inspects your home, and explains what they’re seeing. You won’t be left guessing—we give you straight answers and handle the problem the right way.
What makes you different from bigger pest control companies?

$149 Initial Flea Treatment
Includes General Pest Service + Warranty
Fleas
Stop Fleas in Their Tracks
Fleas are tough to get rid of without professional help. Our $149 initial service includes a thorough treatment and a follow-up two weeks later to ensure eggs don’t become a new problem. After that, flea control is part of your ongoing pest protection.
We treat everywhere fleas live and breed: yards (with granules), carpets, rugs, pet bedding, and dog houses. Our treatment targets fleas at all life stages—eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults—using products that kill on contact and disrupt their life cycle. We automatically return in 10–14 days at no extra charge to catch newly hatched fleas, since less than 5% of the flea population are adults at any given time.
We can usually be out today or tomorrow. Most flea activity starts decreasing within the first few days, but the follow-up visit, 10–14 days later, is critical to breaking the cycle. Between visits, call us anytime at no extra cost—unlimited re-services are included with membership.
Fleas are included in our all-inclusive pest service, and the 10–14 day follow-up is at no extra charge. Quarterly membership starts at $119–$150+, depending on your home’s size. If you prefer a one-time treatment, pricing is typically $xxx, but we generally don’t recommend it—fleas reproduce quickly, and ongoing monitoring is the best way to make sure they don’t come back.
Why do I need a follow-up visit?
Fleas go through multiple life stages, and eggs can take weeks to hatch. The follow-up visit at 10–14 days catches newly hatched fleas before they start laying more eggs, which is critical to breaking the cycle.
Do I need to treat my pets?
Yes—treating your home without treating your pets won’t work. We’ll talk through what flea medication your pets need and help you understand how to keep the problem from coming back.
Can fleas come from sources other than pets?
Yes—wildlife like raccoons and rodents can carry fleas and nest under your home without you knowing. We’ll check for signs of wildlife activity during our inspection.
What happens at the first visit?
Our technician listens to what you’re dealing with, inspects your home, and explains what they’re seeing. You won’t be left guessing—we give you straight answers and handle the problem the right way.
What makes you different from bigger pest control companies?

$119 Initial Hornet Treatment
Includes General Pest Service + Warranty
Hornets
Hornets? We Handle Them Safely.
Hornets are aggressive and dangerous, but we’ve got the solution. Our general pest control service includes safe, effective removal and treatment of hornet nests to keep your home and family protected.
Yes, we safely remove hornet nests and apply treatment to prevent them from rebuilding near your home.
Individual hornets can sting multiple times; unlike typical bees, hornets and wasps do not die after stinging because their stingers are not barbed and are not pulled out of their bodies.
Hornets have stingers used to kill prey and defend hives. Hornet stings are more painful to humans than typical wasp stings because hornet venom contains a large amount (5%) of acetylcholine.

$119 Initial Rat & Mice Treatment
Includes General Pest Service + Warranty
Rats and Mice
Say Goodbye to Rats & Mice
Rodents love warm, cozy homes—especially in winter. Our general pest service keeps rats and mice out for good with proven treatments and preventative protection year-round.
We use a combination of bait boxes and snap traps placed strategically around your property and in your crawl space. We’ll identify where they’re getting in—common entry points include foundation vents, gaps around pipes, and openings under doors—and mark down what needs to be sealed. We don’t do exclusion or carpentry work ourselves, but we’ll let you know exactly what needs attention so you can handle it or hire someone to seal things up. Without sealing entry points, rodents will keep finding their way back in.
We can usually be out today or tomorrow. Rodent activity starts decreasing within the first week as traps and bait take effect, and we’ll be back in 30 days automatically to monitor progress and replenish bait stations. Between visits, call us anytime at no extra cost—unlimited re-services are included with membership.
Mice and rats are included in our all-inclusive pest service. Quarterly membership starts at $119–$150+, depending on your home’s size. If you prefer a one-time treatment, pricing is typically $xxx, but we generally don’t recommend it—rodents multiply quickly, and ongoing monitoring is critical to keeping them under control.
Why are mice and rats such a problem in the Northwest?
Our wet climate, crawl spaces, and wetlands create perfect conditions. Rodents used to be mostly a winter issue, but now they’re active year-round, looking for shelter and food.
Do you seal up entry points?
No—we don’t do exclusion or carpentry work. We’ll inspect and mark down where they’re getting in so you know what needs to be fixed, but sealing entry points is something you’ll need to handle or hire a contractor for.
Are the bait boxes safe for pets?
Yes—we use tamper-resistant bait boxes placed in areas pets can’t access. We’ll let you know where everything is placed and answer any safety questions you have.
What happens at the first visit?
Our technician listens to what you’re dealing with, inspects your home, and explains what they’re seeing. You won’t be left guessing—we give you straight answers and handle the problem the right way.
What makes you different from bigger pest control companies?
We’re family-owned and we’ve been here since 2002. We’re not door-to-door sales reps who disappear after signing contracts. We use better equipment—power sprayers, not backpack sprayers—we come back in 30 days automatically, and we offer unlimited re-services between treatments.

$119 Initial Spider Treatment
Includes General Pest Service + Warranty
Spiders
Stop Sharing Your Home with Spiders
Spiders are helpful outside but inside, they’re a problem. Our general pest control service covers all common species, removing webs, nests, and any unwanted eight-legged guests.
We start by identifying where spiders are active and what’s attracting them. We treat the exterior with professional-grade power sprayers, covering 3 feet up and 3 feet out around your foundation, and we remove webs from eaves, overhangs, and around windows and doors. Interior treatment is included—we’ll treat baseboards, corners, and any areas where spiders are active. In the Northwest, that often means checking crawl spaces and basements where cellar spiders and giant house spiders like to hide.
We can usually be out today or tomorrow. Most spider activity starts decreasing within the first few days after treatment, and we’ll be back in 30 days automatically to reinforce your protection. Between visits, call us anytime at no extra cost—unlimited re-services are included with membership.
Spiders are included in our all-inclusive pest service. Quarterly membership starts at $119–$150+, depending on your home’s size. If you prefer a one-time treatment, pricing is typically $xxx, but we generally don’t recommend it—the quarterly plan keeps your home protected year-round as new spiders move in seasonally.
Why do I see more spiders in late summer and fall?
They’re not increasing in numbers—they’re just getting bigger and more visible. Males are looking for mates, and females are seeking shelter for winter. Your home is an attractive option.
Do you treat inside the home?
Yes—interior treatment is always included. We treat baseboards, corners, window tracks, and any active areas. Many homeowners have us treat crawl spaces and basements where spiders like to hide.
Will the spiders come back?
New spiders can move in from outside, especially in fall. That’s why we come back every quarter to reinforce your protection and offer unlimited re-services in between.
What happens at the first visit?
Our technician listens to what you’re dealing with, inspects your home, and explains what they’re seeing. You won’t be left guessing—we give you straight answers and handle the problem the right way.

$119 Initial Wasp Treatment
Includes General Pest Service + Warranty
Wasps
Don’t Let Wasps Crash the Party
From backyard BBQs to front porch lounging, wasps can make outdoor time stressful. Our general pest control plan includes expert wasp removal and prevention, so you can relax.
We locate the nest first—yellow jackets often build in places you wouldn’t expect, like underground holes or tucked into eaves and overhangs. We treat nests in the evening when the insects are less active and are inside the nest, which is safer and more effective. We remove visible nests from eaves and overhangs as part of our standard service. If you’re on our quarterly plan, we reinforce your exterior protection to discourage new nests from forming.
We can usually be out today or tomorrow. If there’s an active nest near your home, we’ll prioritize getting it handled quickly. Most wasp and yellow jacket activity stops within hours of treatment, and we’ll be back in 30 days automatically to check for new activity. Between visits, call us anytime at no extra cost—unlimited re-services are included with membership.
Wasps and yellow jackets are included in our all-inclusive pest service—we don’t charge extra for nest removal, like some companies do. Quarterly membership starts at $119–$150+, depending on your home’s size. If you prefer a one-time treatment, pricing is typically $xxx, but we generally don’t recommend it—new nests can form quickly, especially in summer.
Why are wasps so bad in late summer?
Their populations peak in late summer, and new queens demand sugars from workers. That’s when you’ll see them aggressively going after soda, watermelon, and anything sweet at picnics or outdoor gatherings.
Are yellow jacket nests always in the ground?
No—they can nest underground, in wall voids, under eaves, or in protected areas like attics. That’s why locating the nest is the first step.
Is it safe to remove a nest myself?
We don’t recommend it. Yellow jackets are aggressive when their nest is disturbed, and they can sting multiple times. Our techs treat nests in the evening, when it’s safer, and use long-distance treatments to avoid getting too close.
What happens at the first visit?
Our technician listens to what you’re dealing with, inspects your home, and explains what they’re seeing. You won’t be left guessing—we give you straight answers and handle the problem the right way.

The stakes are too high to hope for the best.
Want a bit of insider knowledge? Traditionally, pest control companies grow by knocking on doors… looking for problems that may or may not exist. When they’ve grown a large enough book of business with that approach, they sell it. We look at service differently at Barrier Pest Control. Our family has been serving this region since 2002. Our success doesn’t require knocking on doors; we’ve grown to serve over 50,000 families through happy customers telling their friends about our work. Our future relies on your satisfaction, so we can’t afford to let you down.
