General Pest Control
One visit to name the pest and find the way in, planned around Puget Sound's wet season and its spring ant swarms.
Seattle Pest Control covers 18 pest control services across Seattle, King County and the neighboring counties, from carpenter and moisture ant control and termite inspection to rat, mouse and wasp work, cockroaches, bed bugs, mosquitoes and commercial programs. Each page explains what a technician checks and what to expect.
Fastest: call (855) 974-4733. Or send this and we call you back.
The services are grouped by what you are dealing with. Ant and wet-wood work sits together because carpenter ants, moisture ants and dampwood termites all lean on the same thing: damp or decaying timber. Rodent work sits together because rats, mice and the sealing that follows usually belong to one plan.
Not sure where to start? Book general pest control and the technician names what you have. Buying or selling a house? Start with a termite inspection. Squirrels and raccoons are wildlife, and the site offers only exclusion work, which means sealing the building.
One visit to name the pest and find the way in, planned around Puget Sound's wet season and its spring ant swarms.
Carpenter ants excavate damp or decayed wood. A technician finds the nest, and the moisture that invited it, before treating.
Small yellowish-brown ants in damp wood are a sign of a moisture problem. The fix is the colony and the water that feeds it.
A look at wood, crawl space and foundation for dampwood or subterranean termites, with a plain account of how likely they are here.
Dampwood termites need wet wood. Control means drying and removing the wood, with treatment only where the findings call for it.
Norway and roof rats need different handling. A technician finds the route in, removes the food and shelter, then treats.
Mice need only a small gap. Control means traps where they travel, a sealed building and a tidy pantry.
Sealing the openings that rats and mice use, crawl space first, so they cannot return once the current ones are gone.
Late-summer nests in the ground, walls and eaves are removed by a technician, after the wasp is identified.
Large paper nests in trees, shrubs and eaves are identified before anything is done, then removed by a technician.
Bed bug inspection and treatment for apartments, condos and houses, with notes on landlord and tenant duties in Washington.
German cockroach control for apartments, restaurants and multi-unit buildings: bait, sanitation, sealing and building-wide coordination.
Kitchen and foundation ants identified and baited, with the trail followed back to the nest and the entry sealed.
Spiders in garages, crawl spaces and window wells are reduced by clearing webs, cutting their food supply and closing entry gaps.
Attic, soffit and chimney entry points found and sealed so squirrels and raccoons cannot get in, with a plan for animals already inside.
Yard mosquito work focused on standing water and shady resting places, handled as a nuisance problem and not an alarm.
Scheduled pest programs for restaurants, apartment buildings, offices and waterfront warehouses, with inspection records and quick call-outs.
A visit that maps leaks, ventilation and wood-to-soil contact so ants and termites lose the damp wood they look for.

Estimates only. Your price is confirmed on site before work starts. See the full price guide.
Call any hour and explain what is going on. You get a clear price before any work starts.
Book general pest control. The technician identifies the pest, explains where it is coming from and recommends the right follow-up, so you are not guessing from a photo or a sound.
Size and color are the first clue: carpenter ants are large and dark, moisture ants small and light yellowish-brown. See carpenter ant control and moisture ant control for the details.
Yes, and they are handled differently. Norway rats burrow low, roof rats climb and mice fit through very small gaps. See rat control, mouse control and rodent exclusion.
What a company may do with a live animal depends on Washington wildlife rules, which are not summarized here. Closing the entry points is the part this site always covers; ask on the phone about the rest.
