Commercial
For more than 30 years, commercial property owners throughout the greater Vancouver, Washington, and Portland, Oregon, metro areas have relied on The Bug Man for all their pest control-related needs.
Commercial Property Infestations
Our pest control services are extremely effective for a variety of commercial businesses, including but certainly not limited to:
- Retail spaces
- High-tech facilities
- Manufacturing plants
- Food processing facilities
- Commercial offices spaces
- Government Building (GSA)
Here’s the ugly truth: With commercial infestations, if you see a pest, you’ve probably got a problem.

The Bug Man’s Commerical Property Pest Control Pledge
We will investigate and address pests at your commercial property while taking the utmost care to preserve the environment.
One of the biggest problems an infestation can pose to commercial properties is the time lost during pest-control treatment. That’s why we promise to get in and out as quickly — and efficiently — as possible.
Our approach to integrated pest management includes strategies that focus on the long-term prevention of pests through the use of products designed to pose the least harm to the environment. If there’s a non-product solution to solving a commercial property pest control problem, we’ll be sure to use it.
Most issues can be dealt with during business hours, but The Bug Man can schedule work to be performed during off-hours, if necessary. We will work with you to find the best time for you and your business.
EPA-CERTIFIED PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS
We use Environmental Protection Agency-certified products and offer free phone estimates for every job.
We pledge to bring a unique approach to each and every commercial building we treat, because every infestation is different, and sometimes it’s difficult to know what to expect.
What you can expect from us, however, is prompt, professional service and a treatment plan that places as little stress as possible on your employees and your business operations.

Commercial Pest Control FAQ
We offer complete bed bug services, treating all affected areas. Contact our office for preparation information as well as inspection & treatment options.
Bed bug treatments depend on the severity of the infestation, as some circumstances require multiple treatments. Our treatments are effective so long as the bed bugs are not reintroduced.
No. One pest is inconvenient, but not worthy of an entire treatment. That said, often times a pest sighting is indicative of a nest being nearby. If that renter has repeated sightings, then he/she should contact The Bug Man.
We service all types business with pest control issues.
We are knowledgeable about many pest control issues, so whether your need is general or specific then we can usually solve it or keep it under control. We have been trained to handle a variety of situations and have years of experience behind us.
Some minor issues probably can be handled by your staff or a handyman. Other issues, like carpenter ants, termites, roaches, rodents (the list goes on), are more difficult to handle. In these cases, a professional pest control company should be consulted.
Pest control products are made to break down. This is good for the environment, but makes it difficult to control certain pest problems over time. It’s not unusual for issues to be resolved for sometime and then reoccur down the road. Some circumstances call for on-going routine pest control service.
If a pest problem is untreated, it will not only persist but could also get worse.
This depends on the pest involved or the scale of the infestation. Most circumstances take time to solve. Most infestations differ, so this can be discussed when you book an appointment with The Bug Man.
Again, this depends on the specific pest being treated. It can range from 30 minutes to several hours.
This is pest specific, and will vary for what we’re treating.
Pest ants and rodents are the most popular – then there’s a variety of other issues like moles, roaches, silver fish and carpenter ants. The Pacific Northwest has many pests…the list goes on.
We have a variety of products and they are specific to the pest issue. We utilize Integrated Pest Management techniques which address environmental changes, building out, blocking off and so on. Contact our office for specifics related to our treatments.
We use both. The choice depends on the specific pest issue. We have a variety of options and will use the product that works best for your situation.
Some pests come in directly from the outdoors, some attach themselves to cardboard boxes or other items brought in to the work environment from the outside. Ants come from the exterior and come into work spaces through cracks and crevices. There isn’t a single answer though as pests enter through many different ways.
It is important to recycle all card board materials and other paper products. Take out garbage on a routine basis. Make sure that doors and windows are sealed properly, vent screens are tight in both the attic and crawl space areas. Moisture issues attract a variety of pests and should also be addressed.
When the numbers build to a point that you notice them, it’s time to get treatment. Same goes if you are bothered by a specific pest, like any yellow jacket or wasp activity. For example, one or two ants is not a reason to panic, but seeing lines of ants or ones in different places is a reason to consult a professional.
They usually enter from the exterior, so we start with the source of the infestation.
No. Our treatment causes no disruption to your health, machinery or property.
You could find dead ants for a period of time, if that was your infestation problem. Otherwise our goal is to control your specific issues without leaving any trace of the infestation or its treatment.
Sometimes we do ask you to leave for a period of time. Other times you do not have to leave. This is all specific to the site and pest.
Usually Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. For after-hour requests, we will work with you to find the best time.
This is pest specific. We can give you a bid for your specific situation.
We take cash, check, Visa, MasterCard and Discover Card. We can invoice you.
Some pest control issues are habitual, and due to our climate or the environment you live in. Preventive pest control might be necessary for recurring issues.
All Pest Control Technician are required to be licensed through the Agriculture Department and must take continuing education classes to maintain their license. We also provide in house training for our Technicians.

Our Dedication to the Enviroment
Our objective is to leave little or no impact on the environment. If there is a non-product approach that we can use to solve a particular problem we do so. This concept is called Integrated Pest Management or IPM. IPM is the ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests through a combination of practices such as biological control, habitat manipulation, and modification of cultural practices and the use of resistant varieties.
In our community we see a variety of pest problems.
The primary pest issues which customers contact us about are listed on our Bug Library page.
