Common Pests in Astoria
Astoria averages about 70 inches of rain a year, NOAA's normals show, nearly twice Portland's, and its weather is milder than inland, so moisture-driven pests stay active longer: termites, wood-boring beetles, and silverfish. In the city's older hillside houses, a damp crawlspace is where all three settle in. Outside the crawlspace, from the porch to the eaves, a different pest takes the lead each season.
-
Spring, March through June
Carpenter ants swarm from April into early June, and they go for damp, decaying wood. On Astoria's older houses, porch posts, window sills, and framing that stays wet are where a satellite nest can start; sawdust-like frass pushed out of a crack is the sign to look for.
-
Summer, July and August
The European paper wasp, the kind most often found on buildings in Oregon, hangs open, umbrella-shaped combs under eaves, decks, and handrails. A colony rarely tops about 50 workers, but a nest beside a door or porch rail puts those wasps in everyone's path.
-
Late summer into fall
Winged dampwood termites, the largest termites in the region at up to about an inch, swarm in late summer or fall, especially after rain. They infest wet wood. A swarm alone does not establish an infestation in the house; inspect for termites and persistent moisture in the structure.
-
Winter, November through February
Heavy rain sets millipedes moving, and November, December, and January each average more than 10 inches here. Millipedes and sowbugs wander in under doors and through foundation gaps, but both die within days in dry indoor air; damp mulch and debris against the foundation draw them close.

Astoria Pest Control FAQs
Can I get a free pest control estimate in Astoria?
Yes. For most Astoria homes, we can quote over the phone: tell us the pest, how much activity you are seeing, where you are seeing it, and the size of your house. Multi-family and commercial properties looking for a bid on recurring service get a complimentary on-site inspection, so the price we give you matches the property.
Do you offer same-day or next-day pest control in Astoria?
Yes. Call (503) 567-1201 before noon and we will schedule a technician to be onsite the next business day. For urgent problems, call as early as you can. Our office team will do their best to get a technician out the same day or the next.
Do roof rats get into Astoria homes?
They can. Washington's Department of Fish and Wildlife notes roof rats are often seen in port cities and coastal towns, and Astoria is both. They live above ground, nesting in attics, trees, and overgrown shrubbery or vines, and climb power lines, branches, and rooflines to reach an attic through a gap about the size of a quarter. Scratching overhead at night, droppings, and gnaw marks are the signs, and rodents start moving indoors in September.
Why do older Astoria houses get wood-boring beetles?
The western deathwatch beetle, which causes most beetle damage to wooden structures on the coast, is common in older buildings with crawlspaces or basements, according to the Pacific Northwest Insect Management Handbook. Astoria's oldest neighborhood, between Second and 18th Streets, holds most of the city's Victorian and other historic buildings. The larvae feed inside damp wood for years, so small round exit holes and gritty, pellet-like frass are the signs to look for.
