No call centers, no rotating crew, no strangers. Just me, seven professional licenses, and a genuine commitment to solving your ant problem and any other pest issue the right way.


From ant infestations and rodents to spiders and bed bugs, I’ve seen it all and I know how stressful it can be when pests invade your Portland home. That’s why I use organic, family-safe ant control and pest treatment methods that eliminate the problem without filling your home with harsh chemicals. Safe for your kids, safe for your pets, and effective enough that you won’t need to call twice.

Whether you’re dealing with carpenter ants, odorous house ants, or a full ant infestation, I’ll identify the source and treat it at the root, not just the surface.


When you work with me, you’re not a ticket number. You’re a neighbor, and I treat your home like it’s my own.

Ant and Garden Organic Pest Control

The Secret to Complete Colony Eradication

Most pest control treatments make ants sick. That is exactly why they fail.

When an ant returns to the nest sick, the colony will not let it back in. This is how ants protect the queen from a virus making it into the colony. The queen and the colony stay safe. The infestation continues.
The only way to wipe out a colony is for the ants to return to the nest undetected, carrying the treatment in with them.
That is how you get ants gone the first time. Every time.

What is the best way to get rid of ants?

I treat the colony directly using Azadirachtin, a botanical insect growth regulator. Ants never get sick from it, so the colony accepts them back and carries the treatment straight to the source. The result is complete colony elimination. No next generation. Ants gone the first time. Every time.

What is gentle pest control for ants?

We use environmentally friendly and gentle methods to safely eliminate ants from your home, protecting your family and pets in the process.

How do I permanently get rid of an ant’s nest?

Killing the ants you see is temporary. We locate the nest, treat the colony directly, and close off the entry points so they don’t find a way back in

Why is organic pest control more effective for ants?

Harsh chemicals make ants sick before they reach the nest. The colony detects them and they get kicked out.
Organic treatments are gentle enough that scouts carry them back undetected, spreading through the entire colony where it matters most.

How much does ant and spider control cost?

Just $60 a month covers both ants and spiders completely.
If you are dealing with additional pests, we can add them to your service for a small additional fee. Simple, affordable, and no surprises.
Dealing with rodents, yellow jackets, hornets, or other pests? My comprehensive plan covers all of it. Every pest. One plan. One price.

Don't you dare use anyone else! I live on a community farm that had an ant problem (an understatement). They had tried every DIY trick and nothing worked. When I moved in and ants began crawling on me in bed, I knew we needed a pro. After reading reviews, I called Ryan--best decision ever. Not only does he know everything about ants, he's a scientist who makes his own formula that is more effective than anything I've seen... and it's all natural! He took care of our ant population in two sessions and we are now regular customers. Aside from being an absolute wizard, he's such a nice guy and goes out of his way to help his loyal clients. As I said, don't look anywhere else. Ryan's your guy!

Ryan is super knowledgeable, responsive, and hardworking. I’ve used a different pest control service before and they always send a different person with each service so you can have slight inconsistencies with how they do their application/service. Ryan is a one man business so not only does he give you the best but he gives consistency. Our ant problem came back with a vengeance when we stopped our previous service, and Ryan took care of the problem with just ONE interior service, and now he just continues maintenance with the outside. So far he has only come twice, but I’m excited to see his work continue. Thank you!

When we found Ryan last summer, I told myself we'd use his services at least thru all four seasons to see what sorts of changes, if any, happened in the yard. Fast forward one year and my cherry tree is the healthiest it has ever been and I had maybe one tenth of that annoying black and yellow leaf issue we all get on our roses. He is a wealth of information, has obviously done a lot of studying on horticulture and is super passionate about it. I appreciate that he is more than willing to have discussions about specifics in my yard, sharing why some things work and others don't; he never gives the impression I am intruding on his schedule and needing to rush when we discuss the yard. Oh yeah, we originally hired him to help with ants in the house, which is absolutely under control after years of trying. And the spray he uses outside for the ants smells amazing - you'll want to eat dinner on the deck to enjoy it the evening after he visits 😉 Edit - forgot to mention, happily continuing his services after our trial year.

Ant & Garden Organic Pest Control is the best. Our house had a serious ant issue and Ryan was able to come over very quickly for a first treatment. Since then we've had no issues with ants. He comes over every three months and always gives us a heads up. We're very happy!

We have had ant problems for decades. Tried all the home remedies, usual chemicals, and gross gooey traps. We finally called Ryan and have been using his service for over a year. I can't remember the last time I saw an ant anywhere on our property. Kid safe, pet safe, and friendly service!

Ryan's work yielded quick and total elimination of the carpenter ants (and other ants) that were visiting our home. The price is reasonable and the service is superior to "conventional" (toxic) pest control services.

Hands down Ryan is the most knowledgeable and most effective service I have ever used in 36 years at the same residence. Completely eliminated our ant problem inside and outside in the first week of application. Believe him when he says you will not have an ant problem again. I have already recommended him to five of our neighbors. I’ve never had a more effective program at completely eliminating pests around our house.

Exceptional and effective! We had been fighting ant problems for years to little effect. We have two cats, so aggressive pesticides were out of the question. Ryan was confident that with targeted treatment and quarterly follow-up spraying we could reduce the frequency of our ant intrusions and he has been proven completely correct. Not a single ant indoors since he started working with us!

Ryan is a wonderful person who happens to know a lot about pest control. I called him a year ago to get an ant situation under control. The ants were in our cats food bowls and bathroom. Since we have 4 pets in the house it was important to us to choose pest control that wouldn't harm our animals. After his first visit we have never seen ants in our cats food again, and the rare ant we see in the bathroom is nothing like it was before. He is kind and thorough and we love seeing him come by quarterly for our service. His rates are also very competitive compared to another company we used to have come by the house , and we feel much more comfortable having him in our home than the previous company. I wouldn't hesitate to call him if you are looking for pest control and have animals in or around your home, he is a great guy with a proven track record.

Ryan responded almost immediately to my request to treat two wasp infestations. He arrived within a couple of hours and not only treated the areas of concern, but treated the complete outside perimeter of the house. He uses organic, safe treatments and suggested substances to treat ant infestations (which we've had inside the house recently), too. Highly recommend!

Our little doggo is the most precious member of our family, so finding someone who could deal with a couple ant colonies in a non-toxic manner was essential. Ryan was fast, professional and, most importantly, used effective and non-toxic methods that thoroughly removed the colonies. He also went above and beyond to deter future problems from other pests like wasps When speaking with him, Ryan showed a clear passion for his work and explained everything in a way that was easily understandable. I would recommend.

Here’s How My Revolutionary Pest Control Program Works:

STEP 1: COLONY ELIMINATION FROM THE INSIDE OUT

I use a botanical Azadirachtin IGR that worker ants carry back to the nest completely undetected.

By the time the colony realizes what’s happening, it’s already over.

This isn’t surface control, it’s complete colony kill, every time.

STEP 2: SEAL THE HOME AT THE FOUNDATION

I treat the entire foundation with essential oil barriers and dust every crack and crevice with thyme oil.

Ants find the structure chemically hostile and won’t cross it. No gaps, no entry points, no exceptions.

STEP 3: ELIMINATE THE SOURCE OUTSIDE

I extensively bait the exterior perimeter of your home because the logic is simple: if there are no ants on the outside of your home, there are no ants to hitchhike inside. Most companies treat your walls. I make sure ants never reach them.

This is why organic pest control isn’t just safer, it’s more effective.
Synthetic chemicals repel ants and scatter colonies. My botanical approach lets them bring the treatment home. The result is a complete kill, not a temporary fix.

THINK TRADITIONAL PEST EXTERMINATORS CARE ABOUT PREVENTION?

THINK AGAIN!

Most traditional pest control companies offer ineffective cookie cutter treatments without attending to the unique needs of each customer. They hire seasonal apprentices that are paid per home serviced, often rushing from home to home and carelessly spraying toxic chemicals so they can move on to the next job.

The pest control industry earns billions each year by repeated spraying, which is why they’re really not interested in prevention. They care more about increasing profits, so the last thing they want is for their customers to permanently solve their ant or pest problems.
