If you’re demolishing a structure in King County to build a new home, a Rat Abatement Certificate is not just a recommendation it’s a legal requirement. AMPM Exterminators provides the certified inspection and treatment service you need to get your certificate approved fast and keep your project on schedule.
Why is a Rat Abatement Program Required for Demolition?
Before any demolition permit is issued in King County, the property must be certified free of active rat infestation. This public health measure, mandated by the King County Board of Health, prevents the dispersal of rats into neighboring properties during demolition activities.
Without this certificate, your project cannot legally proceed, causing costly delays.
The Simple 3 Step Process to Get Your Certificate
1. Schedule Your Certified Inspection
Contact AMPM Exterminators to book a swift inspection of your demolition site. Our certified technicians are experts in identifying signs of rodent activity.
2. Professional Rat Abatement & Treatment
If evidence of rats is found, we perform a complete abatement. This includes eliminating existing rodents and sealing entry points to prevent re-infestation before demolition begins.
3. Receive Your Official Certificate
Once the property passes our inspection and any necessary treatment is complete, we issue the official Rat Abatement Certificate required by King County permitting authorities. You can then submit this with your demolition permit application.
