What Seattle housing means for pest control
Backyard cottages and other accessory units have spread since the city loosened its rules in 2019. Rain is frequent from October through April, though the yearly total is lower than in many East Coast cities.
Old home heating oil tanks, some buried in yards, are a known issue with older Seattle houses, and decommissioning them is common. Basements and crawl spaces in older homes often hold the moisture pests like.
Damp conditions attract carpenter ants and moisture-loving pests. Rodents are common year-round. Townhouses have replaced many older houses in neighborhoods like Ballard and Fremont.
Who handles what in Seattle
Pest control in Washington is licensed by the State Department of Agriculture. Ask which products will be used and whether you need to leave the home or keep pets away. Keep the paperwork that lists the products used, the areas treated and the date of the next visit.

Questions from Seattle residents
Who pays for pest control if I rent?
In many places, it is the landlord's responsibility. Check your lease and local codes. Report the problem in writing and keep a copy, since that record helps if the issue keeps coming back.
Do you cover Capitol Hill and Greenwood?
Our network reaches Capitol Hill, Beacon Hill, Fremont and West Seattle and the rest of Seattle (98101, 98102, 98103, 98104, 98105 and others). Whether a pro can come depends on their schedule, and we will let you know quickly either way.
What are signs of termites?
Mud tubes on foundations, discarded wings and hollow-sounding wood are common signs. Swarms of winged insects near windows in spring are another sign. If you find any of these, call before the damage spreads.
What is integrated pest management?
It combines prevention, monitoring and targeted treatment to reduce pesticide use. It focuses on fixing the conditions that let pests in, such as moisture, food sources and gaps in the building.
Keep receipts and notes from the visit. They help if the same problem comes back.
