We had a full inspection done prior to purchasing our house. What I failed to realize is that some pests don't come out until the sun does.
Back in May, when the temp was hitting the 70s, we started seeing ants around our patio. My wishful thinking had me focused on the hot tub, thinking that ants need water too. Unfortunately, these ants were carving out an home in the header of our lower level bathroom. The hot tub was not the destination, just a spot along the route of their commute "home."
Bruce "the bug guy" came to our rescue. (Bruce Gaddy, Advantage Pest Eliminiation 503-558-1092). First, he created a small hole in the wall with which to spray inside the wall. The ants started pouring out.
Then, we began removing sheetrock for clean up and further treatment. We were on hand with the shop vac to collect the dying critters. Yeah, the black on the bottom left is a mass of dead ants.
