Neil Mertz - June 15, 2018
Western Exterminator responded quickly and arrived at our house in a matter of a day or two. The service to be provided was explained to us and we also elected to use the monthly service going forward. The ONLY issue was a second visit which we were told would be in the afternoon and the technician showed up at 8:00 a.m. when one of us was still asleep (in the bedroom of the bathroom that needed to be checked. Oops!!! But, all-in-all, a very favorable experience :-)

I have been extremely pleased with my technician and the service I have been getting. I recently had a new housing development put in next to me and all of those critters that used to be in the field had to find a new home and I knew where they would go! Western Exterminators has done an excellent job of meeting this challenge!! Susan

Steve is great! He always calls first and is courteous and friendly. I have not seen many bugs but when I do he's very responsive. I'd like the price to be a bit lower.

Binda Douglas - June 15, 2018
I was extremely pleased and impressed with the efficiency, courtesy, and thoroughness of the crew that treated my house for bedbugs. They explained the procedures and did a thorough inspection two weeks later. They took my concerns seriously, answered all my questions, and went carefully and thoroughly through every part of the house that might be affected. I am confident that the issue is resolved and appreciate how hard they worked to make sure it was done right. (note: if you use my comments on your website, please just use B. Douglas rather than my full name. Thank you.)

Frequently asked questions about pest control in Seattle
-
Which pests cause problems in Seattle?
You should stay alert for rats, ants and bed bugs in Seattle. Each of these pests can pose problems for people. Rats and mice can transmit disease and harm property through their gnawing. Roof rats, also known as black rats, like elevated locations — such as trees in the Pacific Northwest. Meanwhile, ants are a huge pain and can be difficult to eliminate. Bed bugs can also create issues, and should be removed as soon as you notice signs of them.

How do I get rid of rats?
Because rats are a large problem in Seattle, it’s important to do everything possible to eliminate their presence. Rats need to be close to sources of food to survive, so removing food sources for these pests and preventing access to food will help get rid of them. For example, close your garbage cans and pick up garbage that is on the ground.
Rats are clever and agile which gives them a good ability to find any weak spot in a building to find shelter and food. A thorough building inspection is an important step to look for weak points. Seal holes in your property, even if they are very small as rats can get through a quarter-sized hole. Ensure vegetation (including trees) is not too close to your property as it can give shelter to pests and a route into your building if it is growing on or touching a wall, roof or cables.
There are several types of device and treatments available for eliminating a population of rats, including:
- Traps
- Bait stations
- Fumigation
We can provide a free inspection of your property to assess the extent of a rat infestation and the potential entry points and tailored treatments to eliminate the rats.

How do I get rid of ants?
Odorous house ants, pavement ants and carpenter ants can be problematic in Seattle. Wiping your kitchen counters each night can help get rid of odorous house ants. Sugar ants thrive in the humid climate of Seattle and are attracted, as their name suggests by sweet food.
Ensure no food is on the floor and food is stored in secure containers. As with rodents, it’s best to keep vegetation two feet away from the property’s perimeter. Many ants feed on a substance called honeydew produced by aphids feeding on vegetation. Also, close up gaps and holes at your property where ants can enter.
For more information see our page on How to get rid of ants or call us at 425-948-1511. -
What kind of contamination can pests cause?
Some pests can cause contamination that could potentially have serious consequences. Rats and mice can contaminate water and food through feces and urine. Rodents can transmit diseases such as leptospirosis (the latter can result in meningitis and liver damage), and the deer mouse can carry hantavirus. Rodents can also carry pathogens that produce foodborne illness. Additionally, rodent dander carries allergens and can cause asthma to the occupants of an infested building.
-
How much does pest control cost?
The price of pest control can depend on a few different factors, such as the kind of pest infesting your property, the extent of the infestation, the type of treatment needed, and the size of your premises. Every infestation is different: a commercial property, like a hotel, may require more treatments than a small home. There are many reasons why a pest has infested to a property, such as food sources, poor building maintenance, building design, local environment.
We recommend calling us at 425-948-1511 or contacting us online to set up a time for a specialist to come out and complete an inspection so we can better determine what the price will be.
We aim to find the best treatment option that will tackle your specific pest problem and ensure the pest is eradicated.

Rat control Seattle
Seattle is a Mecca for music, sports and business – and rats! Located on the Puget Sound, Seattle is Washington State’s largest city. Seattle is home to the Seattle Seahawks, the Seattle Mariners, and has made a name for itself in the tech industry as the home of Microsoft and Amazon.
However, Seattle’s population growth, development and construction – combined with wet and mild temperatures in the great Pacific Northwest – have caused Seattle to become the ultimate oasis in which rats to thrive. Rats need moisture to live and can reproduce quickly. Warmer winters in the Upper Left USA have turned the city into a haven for these disease-carrying rodents.
