A new website, Seattle Rodent Control, has launched to assist residents, business owners, and property managers in locating licensed rodent management professionals across the greater Seattle area. Developed in response to sustained demand for pest mitigation services, the platform serves as a centralized, research-based directory of qualified providers in the region.
Seattle Rodent Control connects users with local companies that are licensed, insured, and experienced in rodent identification, exclusion, and treatment. Designed with both public health and environmental safety in mind, the website supports informed decision-making in a region where rat and mouse activity has become a year-round concern.
“Rodent management in a dense, moisture-prone city like Seattle requires a focused and evidence-based approach,” said Lisa Ng, public affairs coordinator for Seattle Rodent Control. “Our platform simplifies the process of finding trained, compliant professionals who understand the specific conditions contributing to pest issues in the Puget Sound area.”
Seattle, like many growing metropolitan areas, has experienced an increase in rodent activity in recent years. Factors include older infrastructure, rapid development, changing waste management patterns, and climate conditions that promote year-round rodent breeding. According to data from the King County Health Department and local pest control firms, sightings of Norway rats and roof rats have become more frequent in both residential and commercial zones — particularly near alleys, storm drains, and waterfront properties.
The Seattle Rodent Control site allows users to browse verified providers, review licensing credentials, and access educational materials on prevention and treatment. All companies listed are required to hold current licenses through the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) and demonstrate adherence to Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles. These measures are designed to reduce reliance on chemicals, limit environmental impact, and promote long-term prevention.
Rodent control typically begins with a property assessment to determine the extent of the issue and identify species-specific behaviors. In Seattle, the most common targets are roof rats, which often inhabit attics, garages, and vegetation, and Norway rats, which burrow in soil and occupy basements and sewer lines. Control measures may include sealing access points, improving sanitation practices, removing harborages, and — when necessary — deploying traps or rodenticides approved for urban use.
“Proper rodent control isn’t about eradication alone — it’s about changing the environment to reduce the likelihood of re-infestation,” Ng said. “That’s why working with trained professionals is critical, especially in neighborhoods where infrastructure gaps or construction can accelerate the problem.”
The website also includes materials designed to educate residents about early signs of rodent presence, such as droppings, gnaw marks, nesting debris, and sounds in walls or ceilings. Guidance is provided on steps property owners can take before and after professional treatment, including securing food sources, addressing moisture issues, and monitoring for ongoing activity.
Seattle Rodent Control is built to support homeowners, renters, commercial facility managers, and municipal decision-makers alike. The project also aims to reduce the use of unlicensed or non-compliant pest services, which can result in ineffective or unsafe practices.
In future phases, the platform will expand to include seasonal risk alerts, neighborhood-level trend data, and additional resources tailored to multi-family housing and food service establishments. Site administrators are also exploring partnerships with local housing authorities and public utilities to improve outreach and access to information.
