Antworks Pest Control Antworks has been providing guaranteed Portland pest control and Portland pest removal services to the metro Portland area for more than eight years. We treat Spiders, Bedbugs, Hornets and other pests, but our specialty is on Ant Control.

Most Portland pest control companies will not guarantee removal of these small ants without expensive monthly treatments, but Antworks Pest Control guarantees all of our ant treatments because we practice unique methods and use materials specifically designed for the control of these social insects.We use the Integrated Pest Management philosophy for all work we do.
Services
Rodents
Report
Inspection is highly important when treating these pests to determine their location as well as their path of entry. There are a number of materials that can be used including baits, traps, glue boards and more. Exclusion is a highly effective pest control method when ridding the area of rodents.
Roaches
Report
This pest can be very difficult to control under even the most ideal conditions, but bait and non-repellent materials work best to control this pest. Roaches tend to gravitate toward moist, food related areas, so it is imperative that cracks, behind refrigerators and stoves get treated. Often this pest requires some sort of follow up.
Spiders
Report
Pest control for spiders include knocking down webbing as well as treatment around eaves, doors, windows, ceiling and wall junctions. Treatment also consists of crawlspace and attic with ULV machine, foundation walls and outside perimeter of the structure.
Subterranean
Report
This termite lives in the soil and creates mud tubes from the soil up to wooden structures. Pest control treatment for this pest includes treating the soil below these mud tubes. Considering this is a social insect, we use the same material for this pest as we do for ants. Inspection and correction of conducive conditions is also important.
Bedbugs
Report
Like the German Cockroach, you can become infested by bringing bedbugs into your home with used furniture, appliances, etc. You can also acquire bed bugs in infested beds at hotels or they can simply jump on your luggage when you travel. Unfortunately, there are several ways you can get a bed bug infestation and like a cockroach they can be very difficult to get under control.

Very happy with the service performed and the friendly technician. I had the beginnings of a carpenter ant problem and they walked all around my house and a bit into the neighborhood to pinpoint any problems. Would recommend. Service: Ant extermination

Steven was informative and was very professional. Not only did he spray the perimeter of the building, he fogged both the crawl space and attic. If you are having an ant issue, these are the people you want.

We're seriously looking at hiring another company. They tell us what day they'll be here but not the time, and don't call when they're enroute. This means somebody has to stay home all day, and we can't let our animals in the yard. Then they show up at dinner time and want to spray the kitchen! We've asked them repeatedly to give us a time frame, but they'll only do so if you get angry. We don't like to interact like that, so time to shop for a new service.

This service has helped me for years now and they are great! Steven came out today and he did more than expected! He found a small nest behind a light switch and even reconnected a a wire. Great service! Service: Ant extermination

Steven from Antworks came out today to treat my home. He did a very thorough job and was exceptionally knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and helped to educate me about pest and insects while he worked. He called to give me a heads up and arrived exactly on time. Steven was very respectful, courteous, and professional. I would highly recommend Antworks, and Steven especially, to anyone in need of pest control.

I've been an Antworks customer for about a decade. I have my home treated for sugar ants twice a year. It's part of my regular home maintenance routine, just like spring cleaning, clearing the gutters, etc. I'm always - and I mean ALWAYS - very happy with both the outcomes of the regular treatments and their amazing, personable staff. First: Antworks WORKS on sugar ants.

When I became a homeowner many years ago (I live in SE Portland), I thought I was living on an ant hill. I couldn't leave pet food out for more than an hour. I was leaving Terro traps everywhere which made me nervous because I have pets. This may sound dramatic but in my case it's true: the ants were affecting my enjoyment of my own home. I invested in Antworks' subscription program and I'm so glad I did.

I do see a few ants every year BUT whenever I do (and the moment I do - dealing with the issue right away is crucial), I call Antworks and they come out within a week of my initial call. Their technicians take the time to assess where the ants are coming from (each year the darn ants seem to find a new weakness in the fortress of my home) and treat those specific areas.

Their technicians get on their hands and knees and conduct thorough inspections, interior and exterior, and target the problem areas. Within a week, the ant problem has resolved. The technicians let me know of cracks in tile, caulking that's come loose, etc. That way, I can do my best to re-fortify the area(s). So you see, investing in an Antworks' annual subscription service is an investment in your home. Second, every employee I deal with - from Misty in reception to Daniel the technician - is friendly and professional.

As you can tell, I'm a fan of Antworks. You, your family, and your pets shouldn't have to live with this pest issue. Stop with the traps and the stinky sprays. Call Antworks and consider their subscription service.

This was an awesome company to do business with. They were quick to schedule visit. Once at my house they were nice, respectful of my no shoes policy, and very informative. Had an ant issue, and they said they would be gone in a couple weeks with treatment. They were literally gone in less than an hour. The tech informed me of what he was doing and we chatted quite a bit about ant facts and habits. Ant controlled Warrantee is 3 months so at any time within that time they will come back out and treat again for no charge. I will definitely be keeping this company's information and they will be the only pest control company I use if ever needed again. Thank you Antworks!

I've waited a few weeks to write this to be sure the ants were gone.and they finally seem to be! I first contacted Antworks on a Saturday - hoping for a better, more permanent solution than I've been able to accomplish on my own using different combinations of vinegar, cinnamon, Terro ant baits, and ant spray at the MANY places of infiltration. Misty was incredibly helpful and informative, clear on costs based on square footage, etc. and set an appt. for the following Tuesday. Steven arrived (early!), was professional, and also full of helpful information. He did his work efficiently, no fuss, no muss - took about 30 minutes and we haven't seen an ant since.very happy with this company!

These folks do a great job. If any ants do come back, especially from a neighbor house, they come out quick to take care of the problem.

I received treatment for carpenter ants and haven't seen any since. Very professional and friendly service providers. I also received a spider treatment after being told I had brown recluse spiders at the house. Continued to see spiders for a few weeks after the first treatment. They honored their warranty and provided a second service free of charge, but we are still seeing spiders. I highly recommend them for ants; however, I can't say the same for spiders. It's a shame because they are very friendly people.

We've been using Antworks for years, and I wouldn't consider using any other company. On the phone or in person, they're always super helpful, super friendly, super professional all around. We have them come out yearly now to help control our pavement ants in the spring, and we're consistently happy with how effective their service is. And if we ever have questions or flare ups, they're incredibly knowledgeable.

Last year we had Antworks here for the first time to get rid of our ant problem. Had ants and rodent trouble this year and I didn't hesitate in calling Antworks again. Everyone there is courteous and knowledgeable and service is excellent. Gabe came over and took care of everything very thoroughly. He answered all my questions and knew what needed to be done. Thanks Antworks for your dependability and your professionalism as well as a very fair price.

My previous landlords used this company for us when we had an ant infestation so when we were having issues in our new home we asked our new landlord to set up something with them as well. They're fast, super knowledgeable and friendly. We're pleased with the work and know if we have any issues they'll come back out.

Super professional. Scheduling is easy to do. Gabe was friendly and quick at the door. Ant pre-emotive treatment was done quietly and quickly.

Antworks has totally flipped the switch on our ant problem. We used to be invaded by ants several times a year. For the last few years we've been using their preventive treatment (3 regular sprays a year) and now we rarely see an ant. The technicians are professional and I've always experienced good customer service if I need to call them.

I have had a great experience with Antworks. They came on-time and took care of the Ants that was a major problem in the front and the backyard. Also during the first of spring all the spiders came through the trees and started coming into the house. They sprayed and a few hours later we were able to bbq and have the kids play in the yard again! Overall an excellent experience!

My family has depended on Antworks for years to keep our home bug free and are always so pleased with their service. Their staff is very friendly and knowledgeable (in the office and the technicians), their prices are affordable, and the actual service works like a charm. We have a particularly nasty spider problem if left untreated and I really don't know what I would do without the treatment they do regularly for us. We'll never go anywhere else for our pest control needs.

They came, they saw, they conquered! Antworks was out here within hours of my call. Their technician was thorough - outside, in the crawl space, under the sinks - smart and friendly. He didn't push any continuous service plan. The ants we had been fighting for two or three weeks were GONE - just like that. Four month guarantee. Some of these pest control outfits can be a little pushy, their accounting confusing and their technicians and especially phone people not the brightest. Antworks is a breath of fresh air - so to speak. We will hire them again.

We have been using Antworks for over a year, and have been very pleased with their service. We've had the joy of purchasing a home that was built on land which was once an orchard, and as a result, there is a severe ant problem in our neighborhood. Antworks has been amazing at helping us keep the ants away. Their techs are professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. I would recommend their service to anyone!

I've used this company for three years and no more. It's always the same issues with blame with someone else in their office "your not in our books but I'll make sure you are in this time". I set up three appointments a year to get the best price from this company and it's always the 2nd appointment no one shows or calls back and I am waiting around all day. When I call the phone rings off the hooks so I leave messages with no return call. Enough is enough.

I received treatment for my sugar ant issue. I found Antworks on Google, they had wonderful reviews (plus, I love to support small/family businesses). They were all so very helpful and knowledgeable. My ants have been gone for about a year now!

Antworks Pest Control was top notch and went over and above to ensure my home was free of bed bugs. I was impressed at their level of customer service, it is not common in this day and age. They were professional and thorough from the initial phone call to the follow up. I would definitely recommend these guys, they really know their stuff!

Ants were invading my house by the thousands this year. They were all over my food, and sometimes they would even crawl on me and my family while trying to sleep. It was miserable! We called Antworks and they got rid of our ant problems in one appointment. It took three weeks for all the ants to go away, but their methods really work. They also offered great advice on ways to improve our home so that ants and other insects are less likely to infest. These guys are great.

Antworks has helped eradicate our ant problem and come back again after the problem recurred. Dan and his crew always have a positive attitude and are very dependable. I highly recommend!

The husband and wife team here is amazing. They go above and beyond for their customers and tell you step by step what exactly you need to do to avoid pests, and use the highest quality, non-toxic and environmentally conscious removal techniques to keep pests from returning. They are excellent communicators and have a high standard of integrity. I would go back to them in a second if I needed any more pest control; ant or otherwise.

I honestly never expected such outstanding service from an pest control/extermination company, and was pleasantly surprised. I was dealing with a difficult situation and they handled it with the upmost professionalism, and expertise. They personalize the pest control to perfectly meet your needs (unlike bigger nation chain pest businesses). Call them! You won't regret it. They truly care about their customers and want the best for them.

I wish I could give these guys a higher rating. THEY ROCK. Seriously, coming from someone who paid several different people to resolve a troublesome issue that has plagued us for 3 weeks - they didn't even charge.

The people at Antworks are the best! Very quick service and they answered all my questions and then some. Reasonable rates, and I haven't seen a single ant since the treatment. Highly recommended.

We were unable to get rid of the ants at our house; caulking and ants traps weren't working, so I checked online where I found this business listing. I called and left a message asking for a return call, which came within thirty minutes or so from Chris.

I wouldn't work with any other pest control company. The others I've had cheated me by overcharging, and aren't that effective. These guys gave me a good rate right away and took care of the job. Don't hesitate in getting them - they're real pros.

We make sure to do annual maintenance of pest control with them, regardless of whether or not we see roaches/termites/ants. It's just better to prevent than manage. They give us a good deal and we've established a good working relationship.

The ants seem to think my home is their home. I see them on our walls, I see them on our kitchen counter tops, I see them in our garden. At first they were a forgivable nuisance, but then they just got so many in number, it was already infuriating.
