We bought an older home as our dream home for a couple of reasons. It was priced right, it was located almost exactly where we want to be located and the property is big enough for us to have our first backyard garden.

Because our new home is an older home we do have a few problems and some pest control issues but we knew the going into this. I am semi-retired from the brick and mortar world so I have more time to spend on projects that will make our new to us home a lot nicer.

We have about 6 big ant hills that really look aweful and mess up the appearance of our lawn and they are even in the area we have chosen for our new backyard garden. We need exterminators that will clean them out once and for all. Hopefully we get this taken care of before they all start marching into our house.

Our house seem to be fine at this point and of most pest, we think. We do have an old garage that has seen better days and has a lot of what looks like wood rott but we might be looking at a termite problem. I am not an expert by any means so that is when I call in the experts. While they are here they will check out our house to make sure all is well in here.

A few other pest control places you can check out, depending on where you live are:

Portland Pest Control and Washington Pest Control
