Sounds in the wall near Lakeway: not a squirrel, a northern flicker
The homeowners thought a squirrel was in the wall. It turned out to be a northern flicker, a native woodpecker. We freed the bird, cleared out the wall and sealed the opening for good.

Questions
What kinds of spiders are common in Whatcom County?
The most common are giant house spiders, cellar spiders ("daddy longlegs"), and orb weavers. Brown recluse spiders don't live in Western Washington, and black widows are very rare west of the Cascades.
Why do I see so many huge spiders indoors in August and September?
Late summer is mating season. Males leave their webs outside to look for mates and wander in through open windows, doors, and crawlspaces.
What does your spider control treatment involve?
We apply a targeted, professional pesticide made specifically for spiders around foundation perimeters, entry points, and crawlspace vents. It knocks them down quickly and keeps working.
