Name the gap that lets Western Washington pests in
Western Washington moisture ants follow the same unsealed utility gap from the crawl into the kitchen after every wet spell. Carpenter ant activity uses the same damp wood story. A perimeter treatment knocks down what is walking today. It does not invent a sealed chase. Sunrise Pest & Turf Management will treat the exterior. We will also point at the hole.
Bremerton crawl spaces, Seattle north walls, and Kitsap wooded lots stay damp. Vegetation against siding keeps a highway after rain. A torn door sweep is a daylight invitation. If nobody owns the repair, you are buying the same visit next month.
What we inspect besides the band
Species, moisture, food, and the opening. Photograph daylight under a door if you can see it. Note condensate, firewood against the house, and whether a contractor left a temporary opening. Activity after a rain week is not proof the last service failed. It is proof the opening is still there.
Treatment, exclusion, and monitoring are three lines. Exclusion may be owner or carpenter work. We will not imply we rebuilt the threshold if we did not. Roofers and plumbers make new holes. Tell us who was on site.
Closeout should name the hole
Notes should record where we found activity, what was applied, weather, and the repair still open. Next visit we check that repair first. Use the site contact path with city, photos of the gap, and whether activity is indoor, crawl, or both. Puget Sound rain will not seal a utility chase for you.
If the complaint is wasps on the eave, that is a different ticket from moisture ants in the kitchen. Keep them apart so the file stays usable after the next front moves through.
Firewood against siding, a torn sweep, and a wet crawl vent are three openings. We will name which one matches the trail. Bremerton and Seattle share rain. They do not share your utility chase. That chase is usually the job you did not want to schedule.
Firewood against siding and a wet crawl vent are two openings. We will name which matches the trail. A wasp nest on the eave is a different ticket. Keep them apart so the kitchen story stays clean after the next front.
