Not sure what Pinterest is? Here you go:
Pinterest is a virtual pin board that allows you to catalog and share the stuff that you like on the web. It’s all image-based, so it’s excellent for visually oriented people. You install a ‘Pin’ button on your browser so that anytime you’re browsing something you’d like to save, simply hit the button and a box will prompt you to label your pin.
Pinterest is constructed like numerous social media sites. You get a profile, but instead of status notices and an extensive ‘about me’ segment, people can view all of your pins. Every pin is classified by you into diverse ‘boards,’ furnishing a method to catalogue your profile.
Don’t think you want to follow an exterminating company on Pinterest? Think again! Our page is full of cute boards, funny pins, and great DIY advice. Check out our latest pins:

The southeast is home to an assortment of alluring birds. What better method to admire them than hanging their favorite treats around your humble abode. Your backyard birds adore it when you keep hanging up birdseed for them. Your backyard squirrels adore it even more.
Watching your bird seed being devoured by a squirrel can be very disheartening. Squirrels are attracted to the most commonplace varieties of birdseed including black oil sunflower seeds, nuts, and suet. In the process of feasting upon your sweet bird’s food, squirrels frighten and chase away your feathered friends. They can also wreck and ruin your feeder. To top it all off, squirrels can be predators and have been known to eat eggs and kill baby birds.
Here are some techniques to make your birdfeeder less attainable to squirrels but still captivating to your avian amigos:
- Location, location, location: Place feeders as far away from trees and other launching points that would benefit a squirrel.
- Cleanliness: Squirrels are attracted to debris and spilled seed, so keep the bird’s feeding area tidy.
- Seed: Squirrels are less attracted to nyger and safflower seed so keep those handy.
- Some don’t like it hot: Adding cayenne pepper or similar spices to birdseed can deter squirrels. Luckily, birds are not sensitive to the heat of the peppers. Make sure you wear gloves and avoid breathing in the dust when handling peppers!
- Northwest Exterminating Wildlife Control: If your squirrel problem is just too much too handle, give us a call at 888-466-7849!
Happy Birdfeeding!

The NPMA recently released the results of a survey that listed the Top 5 Pests of the Summer for homeowners. The results are not too surprising to us here at Northwest Exterminating.
- Mosquitoes
- Ants
- Ticks
- Wasps & hornets
- Spiders
Along with being an annoyance, these pests can cause health and sanitary issues for homeowners and their families. Stings, bites, and disease are all risks that come with such pests. Luckily, with good housekeeping and an exterminator that you can trust, you can rest easy.
The NPMA has offered tips to avoid these pests throughout the summer:
- Clean out all parts of your kitchen where food products are stored to ensure that there are no crumbs or spills. Keep foods like cereal, crackers and cookies in sealed containers. This eliminates the food supply that attracts ants, mice, and cockroaches.
- Dust and vacuum regularly to prevent cobwebs and the spiders that weave them.
