Common Pests In Powell Butte, Oregon

Anopheles Mosquitoes

Anopheles mosquitoes are identified by their brownish-yellow hue and scaly wings, and are characterized by their resting posture at a slight upward angle. Female Anopheles mosquitoes require blood meals for egg production, and will bite animals such as cattle or humans for this purpose. These mosquitoes are known to seek out dim, sheltered areas to rest during the day, while they remain active during the night. In natural settings, Anopheles mosquitoes have a lifespan of up to two weeks and are frequently found near water sources, regardless of size.


cockroach icon

Oriental Cockroach

Oriental cockroaches have a shiny black exterior. Males grow to 25 millimeters in length and have short wings. Females reach 32 millimeters and do not have wings. Oriental cockroaches are commonly found in dark and damp areas such as drain pipes, sewers, basements, and crawl spaces. They prefer to feed off of trash and decaying organic matter. While their bites are not dangerous, they can spread many diseases by simply walking around. Take care of any leaks, regularly clean garbage cans, and seal off potential points of entry to prevent them from entering a home.


ant icon

Tapinoma sessile

Tapinoma sessile, the Odorous House ant or Sugar ant, are black or dark brown in color and are about 1/8th of an inch in size. They are considered to be one of the most adaptable species of ants and can survive and nest in many different environments. They are drawn to sugary or sweet smells and frequently infiltrate homes to forage. Bait traps work really well when it comes to getting them out of your home.

Norway Rats

Norway rats in Powell Butte, OR are more commonly known as the sewer rat, or the typical brown rat. They are distinct by their brown, or dark gray, fur and light gray bellies. They can reach up to 10 inches in length with their tail growing to the same length as their body. They prefer to nest in close proximity to humans, are opportunistic feeders, and will eat just about anything. Keep homes clean and garbage cans sealed to avoid attracting them.


spider icon

Hobo Spider

Hobo spiders are not distinct looking, making them difficult to identify. They have a brown body color and gray and yellow markings on their abdomens. They have particularly long legs and can grow to be about 1/2 an inch in size. Hobo spiders construct funnel-shaped webs which they use to trap prey such as flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes and other small insects. Due to the fact that they are poor climbers, they typically reside underground and are commonly found in cracks and crevices, and in basements and window wells.


stinging insect icon

Forest Yellowjackets

Forest Yellowjackets have the traditional black and yellow wasp coloring and can grow up to 15 millimeters in length. They predominantly nest high up in trees.

They feed off of nectar and will seek out sugary substances.

Brown Dog Ticks

Brown Dog Ticks, known as Rhipicephalus sanguineus, exhibit a warm reddish-brown hue in males, while females showcase a steel coloration. Prior to feeding, they measure about 1/8th of an inch.
