Rat Control

Rats are highly aggressive and very destructive. They typically congregate in areas close to water, and since most of the Pacific NW is close to water, they are

common throughout Western Washington. There are two types of invasive species of Rats in our area; the Norway Rat and the Black Rat.

They cause damage to insulation, electrical wires, and pipes. They defecate everywhere which poses a health risk as well as an odor problem. They also chew through wooden structures and may even attack pets and small livestock.
