Hearing strange noises in your walls? 🧐 Opossums seek tight, dark spaces and may be nesting in your attic, crawl spaces, or even in wall voids! These sneaky climbers can cause damage and sometimes get stuck while exploring hidden areas.

🌱 Lending a green thumb in our local communities!

Our Portland team partnered with the Portland Parks & Recreation for Cloud Forest Fridays at Washington Park’s Rhododendron Garden.

Teammates spent a few hours weeding, mulching, and planting while learning more about invasive plant management and the importance of protecting native habitats.

We’re proud to see our team giving back and helping care for the natural spaces in the communities we call home.

Buzz, buzz! Wasps are most active during the warmer months. Depending on the species, wasp nests can be papery, round and as big as a football! They can also look similar to a honeycomb or small, tunnel-shaped nests.

When these nests are near entrances, windows, porches, or inside your home, they can pose a real risk.

Curious about wasp nests and activity? Check out our video! 🎥
