• ◆Nesting materials – Shredded paper, fabric, insulation, or plant matter gathered in hidden areas like wall voids or attic spaces.
• ◆Live or dead pests – Seeing insects or rodents during daylight hours often indicates a larger population hiding nearby.
• ◆Strange sounds – Scratching, scurrying, or squeaking in walls, ceilings, or floors, especially noticeable at night.
• ◆Grease marks or tracks – Dark smudges along walls, baseboards, or around entry points left by rodents following established routes.

Early Detection Matters: If you notice any of these signs in your Longview property, contact EcoGuard immediately. Early intervention prevents small problems from becoming major infestations and saves you time, money, and stress.

• ◆Seal Entry Points: Longview homes often have gaps around pipes, cables, and foundation edges. Inspect your property's exterior and seal openings larger than a quarter-inch with appropriate materials like steel wool, caulk, or hardware cloth.
• ◆Manage Vegetation: Trees and shrubs touching your home create pest highways. Keep branches trimmed at least two feet from structures and maintain a gravel or mulch-free zone adjacent to foundation walls—especially important for Longview properties near Lake Sacajawea, the Columbia and Cowlitz Rivers, timber areas, and forested hillsides.
• ◆Control Moisture: Longview's Pacific Northwest climate with wet winters and mild summers creates ideal conditions for moisture-loving pests. Fix leaky faucets, ensure proper drainage around foundations, and address any condensation issues in crawl spaces or attics.
• ◆Store Food Properly: Pantry pests, ants, and rodents target accessible food sources. Use sealed containers for dry goods, clean up spills immediately, and don't leave pet food out overnight.
• ◆Maintain Cleanliness: Regular cleaning removes the crumbs and residues that attract pests. Pay special attention to kitchen areas, dining spaces, and anywhere food is consumed. Cleaning and vacuuming prior to a pest control visit helps technicians properly service an area.
• ◆Schedule Regular Inspections: The climate and environment in Longview are conducive to pests that thrive all year round. Professional inspections catch problems early—annual or seasonal assessments by trained technicians identify vulnerabilities before they become infestations.
