Compared to the city rat (the Norway Rat), the Roof Rat is a smaller more agile rodent that was introduced into the Seattle area around the 1940’s.

In the past 15 years, the Roof Rat population has exploded throughout Western Washington and has now become a real threat to both your home and the environment.

Roof Rats get their name “Roof” from about a hundred years ago when they would live in the roofs of homes in California and would feed off oranges and other fruit trees nearby.

Recently Roof Rats have discovered that the Pacific Northwest also has plenty of other great food resources and that they can easily live in the insulation of your attics and crawlspaces.

The Roof Rat is an invasive rodent that originally comes from the jungles of Asia, and as such loves to climb and live in the vegetation around your home and any nearby greenspaces.

If there are trees or vegetation touching the side of the home, then the rats will quickly access the roof and chew their way into the insulation.

In the crawlspaces, once they find a way in, they will run underneath the flooring and within a year or two will completely destroy the insulation.

Properly replacing the insulation in a crawlspace or attic can easily cost between $5000 to $7000.

Addressing pest control issues preventatively can be a much more cost-effective approach for a homeowner than ignoring it and hoping it goes away.

Anyone with a little training can pour chemicals in a sprayer and coat your home to eliminate pests. This works well for the cheaper pest control companies out there.

Our approach starts with the reducing the impact we leave on your home and enviroment. By training our technicians to understand the behavior and the biology of the pests involved we can have a more targeted approach. By understanding how rodents think and react we minimize the amount of chemicals used.

We also use chemicals with a lower risk for your family and are more sensitive to the enviroment.

We want to leave as small of a footprint as we can while eliminating your problem.

We are not the cheapest solution, we are the company you call when you want it done right.
